  1. ***From Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramírez:***

    President Joe Biden threw down the gauntlet on Wednesday, directly challenging former President Donald Trump – his expected 2024 rival — to not one, but two debates. The president also took a jab at Trump’s scheduling conflicts given his ongoing criminal hush money trial in New York, which does not convene on Wednesdays.

  2. By the time the first debate which Trump will find an excuse to back out of rolls around, he will not only be a court-adjudicated rapist but also a convicted felon.

  3. Put diaper don in a soundproof box and only let him talk when it’s his turn, he can sit in his own stench and we won’t have to hear him chat shit, win win. We can also put Biden in one if it makes people feel better.

  4. Countdown until The Sleeping Don blames the gag order for backing out in…..3….2……1…..

  5. Donny is a coward. He will back out and blame it on his criminal trial.

  6. Trump Immediately Accepts, But Then Comes Up With Crazy Demands Why The Debates Won’t Happen Anyway.

  7. Accepting immediately indicates that Trump wants to change the narrative away from his trials. This means that the trials have been effective. He has been delaying as many as possible, not only in hopes he’ll forgive himself once in office, but that it has been damaging to his image just being at trial. He says he’d be proud to be thrown into jail for a gag order, but the fact that when a judge showed actual teeth Trump backed down, means that he is afraid of losing the spotlight.

  8. So, which emotional support senator will debate for him?

  11. The top post on the conservative sub is “the Biden campaign officially turns down debate commission”.

    Man, they’ll reframe anything to make it look better for them.

  12. Just announced on *CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta* as of 10:55 AM ET May 15:

    Both Biden and Trump have accepted an invitation by CNN to debate June 27 at 9 PM ET at CNN’s new Atlanta offices (not the CNN center). There will be no live audience.

  13. “Immediately accepts [while planning his later excuse for not debating]”

    FIFY

  14. “I hear Don has Wednesdays free.”

    I don’t like half the man’s policies, but damn that policy of mocking Trump at every chance is one I can agree with.

  15. IF this happens, I hope someone’s live commentary points out when trump dumps during.

  16. Man I really want this debate to happen. Trump has pretty obviously gone downhill cognitively. The only people he addresses are people who like him and who enjoy his antics. He hasn’t actually had to publicly speak with anyone who disagrees with him in years, and I predict will become extra unhinged and flustered. His decline will be front and center on display for any independents or fence sitting Republicans who haven’t seen footage from any of his rallies this year. 

  17. There is literally no reason for these debates.

    In reality, I really do want debates as we used to know them. In a “normal” setting, candidates would discuss their policies, accomplishments, bills they’ve passed or supported or written, their goals, etc.

    Biden will get up there and go on about all he’s actually done and changed for the last 4 years.

    TFG will just say “Crooked Joe this, ” and “Biden Crime Family that ” and “Make America Great again!”

    What has TFG done over the past 4 years? Go to court, work to delay going to court, holding diminishing rallies, selling snake oil, (NFTs anyone?) and continuing to crime while being on trial for crime. He has no policy, and never had any when he was even in office.

    What can be debated? Nothing. Even with no audience, it will be a complete circus.

    I appreciate Biden trying to have some civility here and do the proper thing, but TFG is anything but proper – and thinks Hannibal Lecter is a real person and was a wonderful human being. HOW do you debate a person like this?

  18. Chickenshit Donnie will find a myriad of excuses to duck out. Probably won’t do it without a live audience

  19. This is lame. Trump doesn’t actually debate he just flings insults. We’ve seen it. Trump is an idiot.

  20. I will be shocked if debates without an audience.

    He already said in accepting that he thinks it should be a full venue.

    Just setting up a way to back out and say Biden can’t handle a crowd.

    When it’s really Trump knows he will lose and embarrass himself.

    His handlers must be completely against this in private.

  21. Let’s hope that dummy indicts himself again. All Biden has to do is grill him about January 6th and he won’t be able to keep his lips from flapping.

  22. r/conservative having a rare moment of sanity in voicing their support for this approach. Seems like everyone over there agrees that Trump’s tendency to interrupt and shout while Biden remains composed and respectful is a bad thing to have shown on camera. Of course, they wouldn’t be r/conservative if they didn’t also come up with a dozen reasons why this is all good for Trump and bad for Biden. They think it’ll be like an MMA match with Trump running laps around Biden as opposed to Biden coming off like an intelligent statesman while Trump delivers a word salad interspersed with the words “border” “Ismeal” and “(unintelligible)”.

  23. He’ll find an excuse to back out; no way Trump’s handlers let him debate

  24. Trump is not 100% honest; Biden needs to make sure there are controls in place, like silencing microphones when its the other person’s turn to speak. Just because Trump agrees to a debate doesn’t mean he intends to honor protocols that are voluntary.

  25. I am not sure a sitting president should debate a rapist felon.

  26. *Trump SAID he’ll accept.

    Very important distinction when we’re dealing with Trump.

  28. CNN should remind people that Trump backed out of a debate in 2020 and it’s likely he’ll find some excuse to do so again.
