By the way, could raccoons attacking the White House be proof that Ceeboo was wrong about evolution?

Biden ducks questions? Ajax doesn't understand that Biden and Harris are not there to respond to Pence and Trump's questions. They're there to respond to the moderator's questions and answer to the American people, not the moron standing beside them. Pence and Trump think they can take over the debates with idiotic derailments and constant interruptions. They think this proves they're "in control" and "winning" the debate, and yet polling after the debate suggests the American people didn't buy it. Biden's lead expanded to +14 and +16 points after the "debate."

This is the reason why Trump is backing out. He knows it means they'd both be forced to deal with the actual subject matter and he won't be able to turn it into another circus for his simpleton base.

No doubt, especially when every question Trump and Pence ask is based on a bullsh-it premise.

There were times in both debates where you had no idea what Trump or Pence was talking about because it came straight out of the right-wing bullsh-it factory, and nobody smart enough to avoid right-wing BS had ever heard that nonsensical conspiracy crap before.

Trump will fight the powers that be by refusing to submit to normal political decorum. He is better off debating from afar at a rally.

It might just as well be a rally. Neither candidates are willing to answer the questions that are asked. They always just start talking about something else.

In the case of Biden he's just being whispered to in his earpiece what to say ala Cyrano De Bergerac.

[_Temp. Admin.]

. . . so Trump shows what a cowardly wienie he is and pulls out. :rolleyes:

Don't you hate it when weenies pull out?

The only thing Biden or Harris excel in is ducking questions.

Give me a list of examples verbatim. Quote the questions. Quote their answers.

Moderator: Would you impose new lockdowns for businesses and schools in hotspots? A federal mandate to wear masks? You have two minutes to respond, without interruption.

Harris:Thank you Susan. Well, the American people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country. And here are the facts. 210,000 dead people in our country in just the last several months. Over 7 million people who have contracted this disease. One in five businesses closed. We're looking at frontline workers who have been treated like sacrificial workers. We are looking at over 30 million people who in the last several months had to file for unemployment. And here's the thing, on January 28, the vice president and the president were informed about the nature of this pandemic. They were informed that it's lethal in consequence, that it is airborne, that it will affect young people and that it would be contracted because it is airborne. And they knew what was happening, and they didn't tell you. Can you imagine if you knew on January 28, as opposed to March 13, what they knew what you might have done to prepare? They knew and they covered it up. The president said it was a hoax. They minimized the seriousness of it. The president said you're on one side of his ledger if you wear a mask, you’re on the other side of his ledger if you don't. And in spite of all of that, today they still don't have a plan. They still don't have a plan. Well, Joe Biden does. And our plan is about what we need to do around a national strategy for contact tracing, for testing, for administration of the vaccine and making sure that it will be free for all. That is the plan that Joe Biden has and that I have, knowing that we have to get a hold of what has been going on and we need to save our country. And Joe Biden is the best leader to do that and frankly, this administration has forfeited their right to reelection, based on this.

Can you find for me where she says if they will impose more lockdowns in this answer? Go through the transcript. She never answers the questions.

What pisses me off about Biden and Harris is that they don't call them out on their BS and just let them get away with making false statements that are easily refutable. Such as their incessantly repeated claim that Biden called him a racist for a travel ban that never happened and that the so called ban saved hundreds of thousands of lives, bla bla bla. They keep emphasizing that it was the first time in history that we banned travel from China. Well, no crap. Isn't that a good thing? Why would that ever be necessary if not for a deadly virus originating there? There was absolutely zero pushback from Democrats when travel bans were implemented, but the one on China still allowed tens of thousands of people to fly in from China with only a "screening" that amounted to nothing more than a check to see if they were feverish. Calling it a complete travel "shutdown" is nothing short of a lie.

Trump claiming a Sheriff in Portland supported him was quickly refuted when the Sheriff tweeted that he actually opposes Trump and has no idea where he got that idea. Well, he just made it up from whole cloth as he usually does. Because he can get away with it. That's the beauty of machinegun debate where you basically just spend the previous night memorizing a bunch of idiotic and easily debunkable claims from Brietbart and then fire them off without any consideration for time management or moderation. That doesn't impress anyone except the base of morons, which is why their poll numbers plummeted post debate.

The President cannot impose "lockdowns" as we learned already when Trump threatened to quarantine only Democrat states. He can neither impose nor prevent lockdowns. It was determined that the States alone has the authority to do that, it isn't the President. And what does it even mean to have a "lockdown"? We never had any lockdowns to begin with, but Biden and Harris have maintained they would follow the guidance of what the experts in the field recommend at the time, and the fact is we don't even know what the situation is going to be middle of next year by the time the Biden administration takes control. COVID can be worse, or it could be extremely better.

Trump is also trying to have it both ways by claiming he himself shut down the country to save lives while at the same time suggesting it shouldn't be done because the economy is more important. Someone needs to clue the orange moron in on the fact that the economy is going to be infinitely worse if 3%+ of the country is killed by the virus. We won't need to worry about any government forced shutdowns because they will be self-imposed.

If you were serious about wanting to see things get better, and have people safely get back to work, you'd vote for Biden and Harris.
