    Thoughts on the coming Presidential debates
    Trump has been calling for debates since March . Clueless Joe did not respond until yesterday .There is only one reason for this shift .His campaign is risking him leaving the safety of the basement because he is desperate to change the narrative . He masked it with bravado .

    (1) Joe Biden on X: "Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. https://t.co/AkPmvs2q4u" / X (twitter.com)



    Poll after poll shows that he is losing in key swing states The compliant press is having a hard time defending his record and may be ready to throw him under the bus.

    Trump still has a 'never Trump' problem in the GOP . Tuesday's primaries showed there is still a significant part of the GOP that is willing to jump ship or be no shows in November .(Nikki got 31% in Maryland ;18% in Nebraska ;9.5% in WV) . Maybe had he participated in the GOP debates he could've put any GOP opposition away.

    Both Trump and Joe want the exclude the 3rd party candidates in any debate they participate in .So they are going to skip the Commission on Presidential Debates format . They both realize that the Commission's format doesn't work ;especially given the reality that early voting is here to stay. The Commission's debates were scheduled in the Fall ;long after early voting begins and people have made up their mind .
    The Commission has done a poor job in controlling the debaters ;the partisan audience in attendance, and the moderators and both candidates know it.


    I'm surprised Trump proposed a CNN and ABC moderated debate and shocked he would agree to allowing them the authority to cut off his mike.

    It is not clear yet what the rules are so I don't know how that will work . Joe's camp believe that Trump's uncontrollable and that comes will come out clear in debates to their advantage .

    Trump believes that Clueless Joe cannot stay on script and will likely make a major error . They may give Joe that special juice that keeps him awake past bed time; but he also appears as if he has been dipping into Hunter's stash when that happens .

    Trump wants more debates than 2 ;and to have at least one in a large gathering . That works to his strengths and Joe will likely decline that .

    My preference would be to have a series of debates in the Lincoln-Douglas format .
    (A single topic is debated One debater argues the affirmative side and one debater argues the negative side.)
    But I fear Americans in the 21st century do not have the attention span and would quickly lose interest .

    CNN is now backtracking about Kennedy. They claim that if he meets a criteria of a 15% showing in national polls that he is in. Both Trump and Joe's campaign insist that CNN had already agreed to the 1 on 1 format .

    Quote:

    “President Biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates, and Donald Trump accepted those terms,” campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. “No more games. No more chaos, no more debate about debates.”

    A Trump campaign official said a CNN producer had given assurances in a call Wednesday morning that “RFK will not be on the stage,” after describing the criteria for the event.

    I would think that Kennedy has no chance of hitting 15%. If he does, then Biden is even toastier than he appears to be now.

    I'm already quite certain that Trump will be a major disappointment. He has no ability to discipline himself and will come across as being his usual unprepared self. In this case, however, Biden will likely come across as the washed-up, senile, dottering old timer that he is, and that will be enough for Trump to appear to have "won".

    Barring delays or appeals ,it appears that one of Joe's talking points will be muted or diluted going into the debate .

    By all accounts ;even by Dem compliant press ; the case against Trump in the hush money trial is a bust . It may even end with a dismissal before the defense makes it's case . Now in it's 5th week ;prosecution has not yet stated directly what crime (statutes ) Trump criminally violated .

    But on top of that ; a combo of Hunter Biden trials are scheduled to begin in the weeks before the June 27 debate.


    The topic of the Biden Crime family came up in the 2020 debates.

    At the time Quid said that Hunter did nothing wrong ;made no money from Ukraine and China; that “50 former national intelligence folks” called the laptop and the charge against Hunter Russian disinformation ,and he knew nothing about Hunter's business.........all damn lies !

    After the compliant press and social media collaborated in a coverup ,we now know the laptop was real ;Hunter made money from influence peddling in Ukraine ,Russia ,and China ; that Quid collaborated ,often with direct discussions with Hunter's partners and clients ;and that the Biden crime family had a web of shell companies to hide the transactions. That is what the tax evasion charges against Hunter are all about.

    This time Trump has the proof of his 2o2o claims about the Biden Crime Family .......if he doesn't do something stupid (that discipline thing )

    OK So starting the beginning of this month Joe has had a grueling public schedule even for a vigorous person. He cam back from embarrising himself and the nation during his D Day performance. He was physically exhausted to the point of a full minute comatose blank stare during the Juneteenth Day event . He now heads off to Italy for a crucial G7 meeting .

    When he returns (and maybe goes to the beach ) he will no doubt go to Camp David for debate prep.

    How much kickapo joy juice will it take to get him prepped for that ?

    Or as KellyAnne opined
    I'LL BE BACK!!! on X: "Kellyanne Conway- I wonder what’s going to happen to him (Biden) medically at Camp David for 10 days because we have no hard evidence that Joe Biden can stand anywhere let alone at a podium intimidated by Donald Trump feet away from him for 90 minutes without a teleprompter https://t.co/iz4Pa3zlvf" / X

    I left off some stops on his way to debate prep. From Italy he is flying to California non-stop to have a campaign appearance with his boss the emperor . Then he is flying to Virginia for another campaign event with Bubba.
    From there he will do
    debate prep for about a week and a half. Will that be enough time to program his replies and pump him up with enough kickapoo joy juice to function ?

    I have heard conflicting reports about if they will sit or stand during the debate . I hope Trump did not agree to sit. Although it is no guarantee that is to Clueless Joe's advantage .

    And Trump has a fully-functioning mind??? Haven't you watched him fumble and stumble and meander but in a loud voice so he sounds sooooooo assertive like a dictator. E.g., Trump, June 5:

    "Religion is such a great thing, it keeps you, y’know, there’s something to be good about. You want to be good,” Trump said. “When you have something like that, you want to be good. You want to go to heaven, OK? You want to go to heaven. If you don’t have heaven, you almost say, ‘What’s the reason? Why do I have to be good? Let’s not be good, what difference does it make.’”

    Plus, now he's waffling on abortion. Maybe he has realized (or more likely has been told -- since he's not good at objectivity) that he's losing Repub women's votes because of his stand on abortion.

    Thanks for missing me, JL! Every week I have new medical adventures. I won't bore you with details.

    Yes of course that is why . From a political perspective I agree that strict pro-life is a losing position. The mid-term elections should've made that clear .

    And that is not all. He is making a full court press for the youth vote. . Clueless Joe has not delivered on his promise to them . So Trump sees opportunity . It is why as an example that he went from a ban on TikTok to being a TikTok user . He has suddenly embraced cryptocurrency because the kids like to use it . He recently proposed changing the tax structure to eliminate taxing income from tips .

    It seems to be working for him .

    The Slimes Siena poll has Joe up by 2 in that age group. 2020 Joe beat Trump hands down with the youth vote.

    So he is pro-religion. Is that a problem?

    At any rate, trying to suggest that Trump's mental fitness is on the same level of disorder as Biden's is really a losing argument. He is plainly in a far better place the JB.

    Correct. It's a sad day when being pro-life is a losing proposition. I guess death is a more popular stance.

    These moments occur daily now . At the G7 meeting the leaders watched a parachute demonstration . Clueless Joe suddenly wandered off . Italy PM Giorgia Meloni quickly walked to him and ushered him back to the group to take a photo. He then for some reason put on a pair of aviator glassed .It looked like even that was a struggle.

    Apparently so . Gallup says there is a clear rise in the number of single issue abortion voters(32% of those polled) .75 % of them are pro-infanticide .

    Quote:

    The electoral repercussions of being an avowed “pro-choice” or “pro-life” candidate for higher office have changed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Before the decision, pro-life candidates had a marginal advantage in voters prioritizing the issue in their vote choices. Since the decision, pro-choice candidates have jumped way ahead on this metric.

    At the Repub powwow yesterday Trump urged GOP to speak in a unified voice that abortion is a state issue

    SCOTUS ;in line with it's Dobbs decision , decided yesterday that the availability of the drug mifepristone aka abortion pill ;was a state matter also .It was a unanimous opinion written by Cavanaugh (maybe he was responding to the whirlwind) .
    23-235 FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (06/13/2024) (supremecourt.gov)

    Basically SCOTUS is tired of dealing with the issue . Cavanaugh wrote that “federal courts are the wrong forum for addressing the plaintiffs’ concerns about FDA’s actions.”


    Abortion became an issue at the G7 meeting also . Meloni (who is the only leader at the group that is polling over 40% sparred with other leaders over words in the final message that called for "safe and legal abortion"
    Quote:

    "All the other countries backed them, but it was a red line for Meloni so it is absent from the final text," one diplomat told Reuters.

    It will all come down to Trump. Four years ago, he had an opportunity to show himself as an accomplished president and businessman while at the same time showing Biden to be a basement-bound hermit with diminished mental skills. He completely failed on both accounts, and instead came across as an unprepared, thoughtless blowhard. I hope he learned from that failure, but I doubt it. We'll see. The great difference is that he can't help himself much in this debate since he is already well ahead in polling. The key now is to let Biden bury himself even further. But leave it to Trump to come out of this debate looking like a temperamental old man while letting Biden look presidential.

    New rules are being disclosed. I can't for the life of me understand why Trump agreed to have the opponent's mike muted while the other one speaks. Part of Trump's debate strategy is the interruption. This rule undermines his method However other rules like having to stand at a podium for 90 minutes works in Trump's favor.

    Now about that cognitive decline of Clueless Joe .............

    That star studded funder in California did not go well for the President . He had another freeze in place moment . He had to be led off the stage by the emperor who grabbed his arm and guided Joe off the stage; hand on back.... puppet and puppet master style

    I'm glad to see the muted mic rule. Trump tends to make himself look foolish with his constant interruptions. If he would actually spend quality time in preparation, he wouldn't have to. These debates make me a little nervous. If the past is any indicator, Trump will be his usual bombastic, loud-mouthed self. He could very well lose votes just by being a basic axxhole.

    And if Biden is indeed a dottering old man, and if he comes across that way in the debate, then Trump needs to simply let that speak for itself. Anything more will be seen as piling on and meanness.

    I don't like Trump either . That is not the point. I just pointed out the coincidence that the Dems have suddenly gone on the attack about Trump. He has always spoken first and thought later .

    There is a CLEAR decline in Clueless. from 4 years ago. Just look at his debate performances in 2020 compared to today. I don't believe the Dems will let him get on stage for 90 minutes. He may be able to get juiced up enough for half that time unscripted

    Did you see his sit down Q&A with the emperor with Jimmy Kimmel of all people being the moderator ? Probably not because the compliant press did not cover it .

    'You know, my, my, my son says, you ought to have a, uh, you know, we all have, uh, various short-term descriptions for your jobs, for what you're accomplished. You should say, 'Joe jobs.'

    This was in front of a very friendly Hollywierdo audience with no one challenging what he said . What will happen in a debate ? The only thing that saves him is that for some strange reason Trump agreed to have 2 moderators hostile to him.

    Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship[FONT=Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=#2a2a2a]....

    [/COLOR][/FONT]Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.
    There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.
    But millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration takes place.

    The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 ordered states to register voters at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and agencies where Americans apply for public benefits — and those offices are required by federal law to hand over the registration forms along with the application papers.

    If an applicant attests that they are a US citizen, that is considered valid on its face and the person is registered to vote.

    Requiring proof of citizenship is considered voter suppression. Yes it is suppression ;it is to suppress the illegal vote. Even voter ID is ineffective in preventing illegals to vote since they can produce valid Federal and State ID under this law.

    The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) aka "motor voter" is a creation of Senator Chris Dodd that was signed by Bubba . The damage Dodd did to this nation in his tenure is incalculable . Besides destroying election integrity he and Rep Barney Frank were most responsible for the financial collapse of 2008 that helped usher in the era of the emperor .

    It is easy
    1. Create a smaller Federal Government The bureaucracy is and should be under executive control .The President should be the boss. Some agencies need to be eliminated some need to be overhauled .Some independent agencies need to be brought under reign of the Executive Reinstitute Schedule F to reclassify some Federal workers to give the President more authority to fire them if needed.

    .Eliminating woke and DEI from all laws and federal regulations

    2 Immigration complete the wall . As with all the agencies consolidate and streamline. He also proposes fast tracking some immigration as needed or as the applicant can pay

    3. Climate and economy . Drill baby drill. Defund green new steal . Increase tariffs while at the same time having bilateral free trade deals.

    Taxes cut corporate taxes and income taxes .(I could go on a whole essay on how funding a limited government with tariffs was good until the 1913 when the 16th amendment was passed. The government has grown in proportion to how much the government can appropriate from the people. )

    4 Abortion It takes no position beyond taking mifepristone off the market .

    5 Education school choice and parental control .

    Day one Trump will start implementing Day one the law suits against it will begin.

    6 America's role in the world would be redefined and reset including an honest assessment of who our enemies and friends are .We would still be in a great power game with a focus on China. Strategic and economic decoupling with China is recommended DHS would be dismantled . Some of it incorporated into the DOD .Some in more logical domestic agencies Modernize the nuclear arsenal to deter both China and Russia.
    Other ideas is to reduce or eliminate participation in global agencies and defund accordingly. (IMF World Bank )

    Trump of course would have a final say and he has been known to pivot in the past .

    Also this was compiled by conservative allies . But Trump is not as conservative as people pretend he is . He supposedly has his own priorities that has not been published officially yet.

    I would suggest they add this to Project 25.

    Guarantee an honest accounting of the federal budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.

    New theory ;going to Camp David has nothing to do with debate prep . The real reason for the sequester is to keep Clueless Joe out of the news for a week. A week of no stumbles mumbles and gaffes combined with KJP introducing the Orwellian term "cheap fakes " into the compliant press vernacular is the real goal .

    Cheap fake = editing a second of a video showing Joe wandering off aimlessly until Giorgia Meloni shepherds him back in line as a border collie would do a sheep .

    Deep fake = The compliant press editing Trump's words in Charlottesville.

    Deep State fake = Evita paying for Steele Dossier and the FBI using it as a pretext to persecute Trump.

    A crime for which I hope Trump, if elected, will hold the guilty responsible, at least to the point of getting the truth before the public eye.

    Cheap fake = Jill Biden(the great enabling "doctor") calling out Robert Hur for bringing up Beau Biden's death when in fact it was Joe who brought it up during his interview with the Special Council.

    She also laughingly suggested that Joe's age is an advantage.
