The next debate moderator has been selected. The October 15th debate will be moderated by Steve Scully, a former intern for Vice-President Joe Biden and a self proclaimed member of the “never Trump” resistance group. You can’t make this stuff up:
WASHINGTON – […] Let’s not forget that another debate looms on the calendar. This one promises to present a stark contrast to Tuesday’s bout. For one thing, experts and critics are already proposing to cancel future debates or launch format changes to quell all that chaos and cacophony.
Then there is the moderator to consider. When debate day dawns on Oct. 15 the moderator will be none other than Steve Scully, senior political editor of C-SPAN. (read more)
Trump gives short answer, then yields to Joe.
And then gives Joe some of his own medicine when Joe is speaking. Roll eyes, make surprised look on face. Sarcasm galore. Smile when Biden makes a gaff, bigger smile as he diggs his grave deeper!!
You are right because Biden is being fed his answers WHILE President Trump is talking. Trump should answer a 2 minute question in 10 seconds and then wait for Biden to spontaneously respond.
That’s a dynamite strategy, to force Punxsutawney Joe to fill time. He can’t do it. When his 20 second irrelevant soundbite runs out, he’s standing around trying to keep his Depends from falling off.
POTUS was interupting the feed into Joes ear.
I think that is where the “shut up man” came from. He couldnt hear valerie jarretgiving him his next line
Bingo! You win the thread.
Very surprised that Old Joe didn’t throw in a “F” word in with his: “shut up man.”
Let Trump Be Trump
Here Here! Second that!
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Actually, embracing that at least some of the time would be a good strategy bc Joe can’t be quiet and he can’t keep his train of thought plus he has foot in the mouth disease.
Maybe they should do the next round I’m wifebeaters so Slow Joe can’t get his does of wired in answers.
,,,,,,,,,,and my post election/pre apocalypse list grow ever longer.
I’m not on Twitter, but I read them. I have noticed the last year maybe and really increasing are the pro Trump, get in your face comments from our side. Really noticeable in the top threads of John Roberts and Steve Sully today. Its like Trump is Indiana Jones and we are Short Round in their face. Throwing hay makers and flooding the zone. I dont do twitter and don’t plan to, but man, our side is finding the stride and taking the lead from Trump. If he wins, the next 4 years are going to be delicious.
thumbs up!
Scully is a lyin dog-faced pony soldier.
Love it.
In that picture of him with Biden, Scully got a chin implant.
Ha! Liked!
Like
Not surprised.
Trump doesn’t run but will go into the belly of the beast, here and abroad, from nasty press to rogue nation.
President Trump should pull a Reagan!!!
OMG and that is daddy Bush sitting on his hands. I guess it was a primary debate. Man, you know Bush was forced on Reagan as VP.
I noticed.
And after the assassination attempt, Bush 41 was likely a three-term president. Reagan battled the same hydra-like enemy, but couldn’t get done what President Trump has gotten done.
WONDERFUL!
WONDERFUL! i love it
thank you, blind no longer, i LOVE THE REAGAN VIDEO, I think this is priceless
You’re welcome. I loved Ronnie…but I love Donald J Trump more!!!
Both what was needed for there time.
Censorship is all they’ve got!
No matter how transparently biased the moderator is, nobody can make Sleepy Joe look like a competent presidential candidate. The more Joe, the less his appeal.
Scully’s Wikipedia bio makes him out to be a devote Catholic. Paired with being a Democrat, that’s always been a oxymoron to me. Perhaps there won’t be any abortion questions at the debate, best to avoid, you know.
“Devout Catholic” like Pelosi and Biden?
Dead babies. Yeah, that’s what Christ was all about. Dontcha know. Aborting the little ones is actually in the catechism we Roman Catholics studied in school.
watching biden in the debates, especially his eyes, and it would not surprise me in the least that he hsd some sort of cataract device like this
https://www.lewrockwell.com/political-theatre/did-joe-biden-use-new-technology-to-cheat-during-the-presidential-debate/
Do you really think he is capable of listening to DJT, reading answers, and speaking at the same time? THat devise would distract the hell out of me, and I am not even senile.
I think it is more likely to be the implanted hearing device that was linked in the thread after the debate, not something he has to look at and read.
His eyes in my utterly uneducated opinion could look dilated because of drug reactions or interactions or side effects…
And Bribery Biden was staring downward attempting to interpret what he was listening to. That’s why verbal interruptions triggered him.
Definitely hard to tell – and agree, both devices at once would probably be more than he could handle.
@Steph_Gray: Why not both drugs AND devices?
Joe had rib notes on his podium. When Trump was speaking Joe was looking down at his podium looking to see what he was to say next. Someone said a woman went to the podium to pick up the notes right after Joe walked away.
The woman coming to the podium can be seen in the FOX video retrieving Biden’s cheat sheet.
Holy censor HELL From Sundance’s twitter!!!!!!!!!!
wordpress won’t let me connect tonight
Mine is so slow sometimes it takes me 30 minutes to respond to a comment.
LIKE @ Blind!
Hey WordPress – I want my bell back – along with my 1A freedom to read what I choose and speak for myself – without your illegitimate censoring permission.
At least it seems to be working at this point, one step at a time.
Thanks Sundance I feel that was more you and your team than wordpress.
it is wp’s bell they LET you use it for free, so you can’t demand it. They are not keeping you from reading what you want, and are not obligated to provide you ANYTHING, again for free.
WP is their property. F wp.
? yikes!
watching biden last night, especially his eyes, and wondered if he was using some of cataract device like this?

People Are Freaking Out Over These Contact Lenses With A Computer Built Into Them
by Douglas Charles
https://brobible.com/culture/article/contact-lenses-computers-built-into-them
Thank you for link red machine!!! I heard about this but didnt see anything till your link!! Great video!!!! I have no doubt he was wearing them!
Two good short clips from Eddie Zipperer about Biden’s debate style –
In the 2012 VP debate, Biden interrupted Paul Ryan 82 times, made faces the entire time, and dropped a steady stream of insults on Ryan. The media LOVED it.
In 2020, he came out and tried to use the same tactic on Trump.
Of course, it was all fun and games when Biden brought us this style of debate in 2012. Here’s how SNL saw it:
Obviously Trump’s strategy to block this from happening to him worked!
Isn’t Scully busy with Mulder chasing aliens?
Time to boycott the next debate until they agree to either replace Jello Joe’s buddy w/a less biased journalist or add a 2nd moderator. Catherine Herridge w CBS comes to mind and would be a good balance to Scully since he started his career w/a CBS affiliate. 1st debate had 18mil viewers, so sponsor / stations airing the debate can’t afford a boycott…
Catherine Herridge – excellent suggestion, lavender. And what’s up with the Debate Commission’s obsession with white guy moderators? How about Candace Owens: for perspective from a hard-working, young adult, minority representative for the press and the people?
Great idea!
Nope. That’s exactly what they want, an excuse for no debate. Trump should go ahead and open with a remark about how far the moderator has come along since he was a Biden intern. Secondly, pull out the NeverTrumper photo and ask him to swear to complete impartiality. Folks, this moderator selection was that absurd for a reason.
They don’t CARE.
They don’t CARE if they lose our business.
They don’t CARE, if they lose their job.
They don’t CARE if “We KNOW”.
THEY just don’t CARE. They have dropped ALL pretense, they think, and have long thought, the American people are IDIOTS, and will buy whatever crap they are selling.
But, they need to fool JUST enough people, for just long enough, to attain power, ONE MORE TIME. And they ARE panicking, and pulling out all the stops. And they just won’t quit.
Yes, we need to crush them in this election. But then, we need to CRUSH them.
Otherwise, they will just keep coming. And, they ARE after us, PDJT really IS just in their way. They want to CANCEL us, and we are gonna have no choice but to cancel THEM, before this is all over.
This is easily fixed permanently, KTA and let God sort them out.
Don’t boycott the debate, insist Scully announce his conflict of interest. If he doesn’t do it. Voluntarily, Trump should do it for him.
Who or what entity gets to choose the moderators?? I suggest they use one of the collegiate debate tournament moderators as they would logically be attuned to the proper decorum and would also be less likely to be influenced by their own biases… just a thought
TRUMP should bring his own moderator. Tell them in advance, One favoritism misstep on their part and his moderator comes in and takes over the entire show. PERIOD.
And, the deabte commission should be fired now.
REMEMBER, HE/WE paid for this microphone, show, etc.
K-Mac for #3!
?
Kayleigh McEnany.
Tis only fair.
Mrs. Sean Gilmartin. Excellent choice!
I would go for Sharyl Attkisson too.
Testing whether an image will display after yesterday’s WordPress code changes
If all you see is a link, then it appears we’ve lost image display functionalilty
Trying it here because I want to test it on one of today’s Sundance posts, making it also a test of whether it’s only yesterday’s posts that were corrupted and things are fine now
Again, if all you see is a text link, then things aren’t fine now
Thanks in advance for tolerating me interrupting this thread
Here we go: image or text link?
ok, just a text link
no image shows
it appears we’ve lost image display functionalilty as a result of WordPress code “updates”
Sundance – take note
(among your other frustrations)
Thanks, Nim….haven’t even begun to try that function! Like!
“Updates ” are the worse.
I hate updates?
Why do I hate updates? Because it messes stuff up. Takes me longer to log in…. Oh grand /s ?
yes – when I was still mid-career, I dreaded computer system so-called “upgrades”
because they typically meant that features I’d gotten used to –
– maybe even built much of my workstream on –
– would break
Indeed. And just when one got used to the last upgrade ,another one came along!
Nim
First time I’ve seen a reply in a week!.
just a text link
I saw the image.. yes he was carried to the finish line
Hey Man! Check out CTH’s very own practice page:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/we-get-questions/
Not that any of us mind folks trying to figure out what WordSuppress has taken away this time around, but a consequence free spot to mess around can be useful. I only discovered it recently myself, so I’m not assuming all of us know of it.
Good on you for fighting the gremlins!
Thanks, Maquis – I wasn’t aware of that either
So to put a fine point on it and be fully explicit:
Maquis is telling us there’s a dedicated page to do tests
…like the kind of image test I did – so that we don’t clutter the ongoing threads
I navigated to that page and there are 599 entries / comments / tests over there
Thanks again, Maquis !
That said – I DID have other objectives in doing the test here …
… I wanted it to have high visibility so that Sundance or Admins and other commenters would see it
… because we’ve lost an important functionality
I wasn’t just testing fonts or bolds or underscores
– though now that I’m aware of the testing page I will do THAT over there
That is all
?
President Trump is a street brawler. Do you really think he is going to be afraid of this soy boy? I think President Trump should tell Chris Wallace he can sit at a table with Joe Hidin at the next debate so he can crush all 3 of them.
Yeah, PDJT took on 16 opponents, WITH moderator bias, then one biotech, again with moderator bias, and has been debating the WH prestitutes corpse, for 3 1/2 years.
He can take on Biden AND the moderator,….too bad he can’t have marine one, warming up it’s engines in the background, tho.
They are going to block any attempt, by him, to your his record of achievement. Got to find some way to counter that,..
Go figure: Democrats not playing fair ….
Well, it isn’t FAKE news but it isn’t new, either.
Trump can take care of himself and I believe he thrives when the deck is stacked against him. The religious among us can pray while the rest of us can just wish him well.
The truth is that they will steal this election. I expect Biden to be called the winner relatively early and Trump’s team will use the courts to introduce evidence of voter fraud. We’re in for a bumpy four months.
From People’s Pundit Richard Baris –
Miller, Trump Campaign: “We do not want any changes from what has been agreed to before the first debate.”
“It didn’t turn out the way they wanted. That’s why they want changes.”
Negotiator for Trump confirms Biden campaign requested a mute button for the second debate, but it did not come from the commission and was denied.
Biden campaign also seeking to reduce open discussion segment to “almost nothing” to “control” the forum.
They want no changes.
They can stack the deck, load the dice, doesn’t matter. President Trump still wins.
I am a Trump supporter and will vote for him but President Trump gave slow Joe a major gift during the debate. He should have let Joe dig his own grave.
66% of telemundo watchers say PDJT won the debate.
My guess is they would disagree with, a reasonable media, a less than corrupt deep state and secure election protocols PDJT may win 50 States.
God bless PDJT
Not at all. PT realized in the first two minutes that Wallace had colluded with Joe to take over the time by 2/3rds of the three people on that stage.
PT handled this exactly like any battlefield-ripened special forces member needed to.
Watch the entire event again…and learn.
Seems pretty obvious to me, the one who perceives they LOST the last debate, would be asking for changes to the rules, NOT the one who perceives they WON.
So, we have it confirmed, by the Biden campaign, that THEY feel they lost the debate.
Isn’t that pretty much ‘case closed’ on that issue?
BINGO!
Stacked deck, much?
He won’t need his special contact lenses, ear implant listening devices or need a wire…Scully will deliver the questions to uncle Joe in advance.
Regardless…PDJT will destroy him.
Oh I’m quite sure he had the questions in advance!
20 years ago it would have helped him. Now he thinks they were all about tapioca and Corn Pop.
That memory is Hiden. The enemy cannot rely on his remembering anything.
Really? this is getting stupid…Trump better study up on everything…and be prepared to ask the questions Joe should be asked…because this guy wont..he probably cant wait to attack Trump…this gets more ridiculous every day…
This is like having Frank Nitti moderate a debate between Al Capone and Eliot Ness.
That’s great!
Will it really matter? I don’t think so:
Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) Tweeted:
Our data from the Duluth Rally shows @realDonaldTrump is still bringing in tons of new voters:
60% of attendees were NOT Republican
20.9% were Democrat
17.2% did not vote in 2016
8.4% have not voted in last 4 elections
Thank you, Minnesota!
What were the other percentages?
I am not worried about the debates or President trump winning the election, I am however extremely worried by the massive fraud with the mail in ballots. The democrats stole the midterms using mail in ballot fraud. They must be stopped.
By who ?
Trump loves a good cage match with Biden, Biden’s group of experts on the earpiece, plus a bent referee. Good thing O’Biden is dumber than a rock on a good day.

Next debate will be another two against one…
POTUS replies: “I’m used to it!”
If you force a man to scratch, claw and fight for every single gain he has made, if you force him to defend himself against constant attacks and hoaxes, after four years they can’t then be mad a trained fighter shows up to a debate.
LIKE!
Maybe Trump should let Joe ramble on and then…
Good idea. As a sign of goodwill, Trump should ask moderator to give Joe one extra minute to reply. A sure Win-Win strategy.
This is from 2016 when that asswipe Wallis was pressing Trump about the Klu Klux Klan with the same questions he recently asked him again. Wallis is a disgusting far left communist POS.
Looks like Fox is going an official blame Trump campaign for Chris Wallace’s debate debacle.
Chris Wallace: Trump ‘bears the primary responsibility for what happened’ at the debate
https://www.foxnews.com/media/chris-wallace-debate-reaction-trump-biden
Maybe they need to hear from some viewers (or former viewers) –
https://www.foxnews.com/contact
Done. Thank you FPCHmom.
The debate is just a debate.
What matters is who takes control of government – we should know next month.
You win the “best comment” of the night. Congrats.
I would expect nothing less from Fake News Network. Tonight PDJT told Hannity Roberts was disrespectful to his Press Sec. Great the boss sticks up for his people.
Hannity had no response.
I made a comment on YouTube about Fox News Chris Wallace being a National embarrassment. Shameful.
The comment is gone. First you see it, then you don’t.
what are his pronouns?
Dem/Dumb
Auntie!0/Antifa
Biden is poling way ahead in mail in balloting. We need to have every PDJT supporter encourage fellow supporters to vote. Encourage all folks that support Trump to make sure the are registered and they go vote

Passed with Flying Colors!
And I keep trying to click the ‘Like’ .
Pavlov’s dog is getting weary!!!!!
So…LIKE!
Glass Half-Full…
Just a few weeks ago The President was subjected to a “Town Hall” spectacle hosted by none other than Little Georgie Stephancrapoulos. I thought he did pretty well there, at least the bits that I saw.
Could Scully possibly be worse than Stephancrapoulos? I’m not feelin’ it.
its brilliant POTUS letting this be a race issue.
he will bring up KKK Byrd very sooon.
He should bring up Corn Pop too. Such ridiculous paternalistic lying nonsense. It’s a verbal pocketbook of hot sauce.
They should let Gavin McGinnes moderate the debate
My vote is for Adam Carolla.
Adam Carolla would be amazing, sharp & funny.. the way he goes after those crooked contractors, haha, perfect.. throw in Skip Bedell for good measure
would pretty much guarantee every female from ‘everywhere’ (not to mention hordes of men) would be tuning into that.. those two really know how to play off each other, smart, smart, smart plus pretty easy on the eyes.. unlike squeaky-dork wallace
(sorry, brought to mind.. still trying to rub that latest image of cuomo out of my head with his big lying, ‘i didn’t do that’, ‘face wide’ huge puppet mouth, ugh) ..not easy.
Good (hilarious) column from Kurt Schlichter about the debate –
“Let’s imagine if Trump had decided to play the conformity game. Let’s imagine he patiently waited his turn to answer Oldfinger’s well-rehearsed lies. Let’s contemplate what would have happened if he obediently answered the loaded questions, and only the loaded questions, that Chris Wallace hit him with. What then?
He would have looked weak. Imagine waking up today to the headline, “Pathetic Trump Dominated by a Powerful, Potent Joe ‘Conan’ Biden!” If Trump was the well-behaved lad some on our side preferred, he’d be squeezing into the gimp box with president Mitt right about now. If you have to err, err on the side of not being a sissy.”
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2020/10/01/the-debate-postmortem-n2577239
Dang straight!
Let Trump be Trump.
This actually might be the ideal debate environment for President Trump. He is a counter puncher and loves to fight back when the odds are greatest against him. The United States loves an underdog. Trust me you all, its going to be like Rocky 4 in Moscow when Rocky gets the Russians on his side.
Discussion today with liberal sister…tsk tsk..it was all so “not nice” where did devorum go….first if you read anything about past presidents and campaign there has never been decorum or the guy who followed decorum lost. 2nd Trump hits back harder. He doesnt hit first or go low first but if that’s where they take he will punch back harder.
Dear Sis. Trump is fighting to save the America and if you cant vote for Trump because he is not nice or tweets meanthings then at least dont vote for BeDum and condemn us to losing everything we have gained under Trump

BREAKING: The Commission on Presidential Debates says it will add new “tools to maintain order” to the upcoming debates after chaotic first contest between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. #Debates2020 https://apne.ws/Rl18W25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do LOVE me MY President Donald J Trump!
Remember: The best IS yet to come.
“
And he has a mic kill switch. The Commission has zero cred.
The Commission on Presidential Debates https://www.debates.org claims to be a nonpartisan 5013c, yeah right… and an honorary co-chair is Bathhouse Barry of the Brotherhood. I believe a 2nd moderator must b added to balance the bias Scully will throw at POTUS. @CBS_Herridge
And here’s the 3rd moderator.
Naaaw, the deck ain’t stacked /s/

This is all a long, long ways from being over.

I would like to see Elizabeth Macdonald do the second debate.
