The virtual debate BS is payback for Judge Barrett. Chucky complained about going virtual – even though the judge will be there live – and McConnell responded to him- pound sand.
The COVID COVID COVID excuses are wearing thin.
RBG was the trail blazer of not showing up- in person – for work.
RBG did it for years.
Definitely being way snarky here.
The United States of America. The greatest nation on earth. The most innovative nation ever cannot figure out how to have a safe debate (in person) for the most powerful position on the planet. ?
They Should Put The Candidates In Those Big “Hamster-Balls” And Let Trump “Manhandle” Joe Biden Like The Bumper-Car’s At Coney-Island….
Between, SSCI, FBI,CIA and DOJ…..
Would we expect anything less from JUSTICE?

I administer Zoom meetings. The dynamics of Zoom are difficult without a sharp sense of flow and context. In a battle between Basement Dweller and the Reality Show Producer, this is a slam dunk for Mr. Trump. He wins either way.
Joetrader, IMO, Joe and company along with League of Women voters would be provided further opportunity to create a virtual joke of the entire processs.
Newsolimmi keeps on giving to CA.

You pay taxes to Police for protection and they don’t do their jobs.
The NG was deployed to Wauwatosa and didn’t do their job.
Why pay taxes in Democrat shitholes?

A next step in a very telling process that BLM has perpetrated. Now residential neighborhoods ad within week of election.
Wisconsin is presented with an on the ground close in choice about the direction of their state and country. Democrats will guarantee the spread of this criminal behavior and VP Harris has so endorsed the actions.
I wonder why we have to pay taxes for a pretend school district, pretend bus drivers, pretend teachers.
Pretend bus drivers…..
You know, I have been noticing there are only about 1/3 of the school buses running in my area and the ones I’ve seen have been next to empty.
Schools are open. I’ve seen kids walking to the HS down the street from me.
Those buses were full on their trips during Winter and Spring this year before the scamdemic.
Wonder where those kids are? AFAIK, there aren’t zooms for HS in this area? Grandkids go to school all day…..
Pedo Joe’s Debate Prototype:
I wonder what more October surprises are planned. Fauci & co to resign saying Trump has been negligent? George Bush voting for Biden?
hahahaha AOC ….. if she only had a brain?

“gross”?…..Seriously?
Wow, this gal really decimates the English language every single time.
I was chuckling at the use of ‘gross’-such a middle school term but then she turned around and used the word ‘exemplary’, high-school term but I think she found the thesaurus on her key pad. Kuddos to her for learning a new word /s
HA! HA! HA!
Ho Ho Ho on the Blonde. A more appropriate remark from the Blonde would have been, “let me stick up for joe Biden because he is one of the family, and we love him”
Fixed it for her.
She has to protect her job and has her marching orders from the Paul Ryan/Murdoch kids crew! HA! Love it! So damn transparent…give me a break…
Notice: Cruz with a side-long grin, nods and says “I understand..”
Hey Blondie: We all understand, more than you would ever know.
Isn’t she dating Sean Hannity these days?
Chris Wallace is where the Conventional Wisdom goes when it wants to know what to think. The man never had an original idea in his life, including what career to choose. He assumes his tedious Beltway prejudices are infallible Holy Writ, but they are just more elitist drool that Got You Trump in the first place. He could have easily asked tough questions of both sides, but chose to act as Joe Biden’s hack campaign bodyguard instead.
Other than that, he’s a top-notch reporter and a close personal friend!
I believe that if Tim Russert were still alive, he’d have called out the press years ago. There is not a single big named journo that has not that in Edward R. Murrow fashion.
He might be your “friend” but Ted was discussing Chris Wallace’s lacking professionalism and apparent political bias. They’re two separate issues.
Such an obvious “ suck up “ remark , almost like a hostage tape , too over the top defense of Chrissy Megyn Wallace and ending with “ we love ❤️ him here at Fox” was the ICING on the cake ( to borrow a phrase )

Well, NC, Cunningham won’t have time to serve as senator. He will be busy with a court martial, fighting charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and dereliction of duty for ignoring suicidal ideation, at a minimum.
What scum…embarrassment as an officer! No one should follow him anywhere!
Since the link won’t activate….from the article:
“Cal Cunningham’s Campaign Just Went up in More Flames With the Release of New Text Messages
Posted at 12:30 am on October 8, 2020
Democrat North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham has been in a race with Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC). But this week, Cunningham’s campaign has completely melted down with the news of a sexting scandal and alleged multiple affairs with women not his wife.
My colleague, Sister Toldjah, broke down a lot of the scandal here.
But Cunningham’s campaign was further torched today with the latest messages released by the National File. In those messages, one of his alleged mistresses, Arlene Guzman Todd, said Cunningham mocked the potential suicidal situation of her military veteran husband.
In text messages, Arlene Guzman Todd tells her friend that her husband Jeremy Todd “was all suicidal and shit a couple of nights ago” and “Had a gun out.” Guzman Todd added, “I could not be bothered.”
Guzman Todd then said that Cunningham mocked the potential suicide situation by telling her, “You’re going to be the best therapist ever at this rate. Sorry you’re having to deal with it.”
The Army Reserve is now investigating Cunningham because of the relationship with Guzman Todd, according to WRAL.
The Army Reserve said Wednesday that it has opened an investigation into Cunningham, who is a lieutenant colonel in the Reserve.
“The Army Reserve is investigating the matters involving Lt. Col. James Cunningham. As such, we are unable to provide further details at this time,” said Simon Flake, chief of media relations and public information for the Army Reserve Strategic Communications.
Adultery is considered “unacceptable conduct” by the military and might be “service discrediting.”
What a horrible look, allegedly mocking a man who served in the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan over five combat deployments, let alone having an affair with his wife. Especially when you’ve sold yourself as the “family man” candidate like Cunningham has.”
Cunningham is/was the perfect Democratic Senate candidate..no morals and plenty of dirt to blackmail him for votes in the Senate…
the only problem the blackmail material came out before he was elected thru corrupted mail in ballots.
No way he survives a court martial panel of his peers. He will have to complete his Senate duties virtually from Leavenworth!
The Uniparty has dirt on everyone. Tillis is the Uniparty’s preferred candidate, so they released the dirt (illegally obtained through the NSA most likely) to protect their asset. If this was Ted Cruz or Rand Paul running, no way this dirt surfaces.
I hope President Trump goes on the Joe Rogan show for a live 3 hour interview during the cancelled debate. That would put a sharp stick in the eye to the debate commission.
Rush. Much bigger audience.
Of course, he could do both! ??
Rush would be great for President Trump’s hard core supporters. Joe Rogin would expand the president’s reach out to moderates and undecided voters.
So yeah, do both!
Rush’s audience would largely already be decided voters.
Rogan’s is a very different demographic. But, Spotify employees would have to be monitored…they have not supported Rogan since his move to their platform and have attempted to undermine him oftem.
He’s not exclusive to Spotify until December. He’s still on all other podcast platforms until then. I think it would be yuuuge if President Trump went on his show. Joe is a lefty, but he is fair and would give the President a great opportunity to show the country who his really is without the DNC Media filter.
I want to participate as the ‘antagonist’ — to get topics started, complete connections, and allow personal experiences to flow, through the direction of Joe Rohan’s ‘interview’ style . . .
He doesn’t need Rush’s audience…he already has them.
Landslide, you got your wish!
Rush Limbaugh just announced:
“I’m thrilled to announce that our commander-in-chief, President Donald Trump, will be right here tomorrow hosting the largest virtual rally in radio history. Be sure to tune in. You don’t want to miss this. It will be special. And I am really looking forward to it.”
I literally cannot wait to see POTUS hold a rally in Florida (or another battleground state) instead of the ‘virtual’ debate that was supposed to be held in Miami.
He should fly in the governor of Puerto Rico…. the optics would be immense!
The Gov of PR was supposed be at the MAGA Orlando Rally that was canceled
Yes!!!! a big rally at miami airport at one of the private hangers.
Bring her on stage, – let loose in espanol how great he his, etc.
PDJT is FREE – no more covid19 BS !!
O.. M.. G.. that would be freaking awesome. She could do a whole “outreach” thing all in Spanish. The Left loves that crap… so I say: give them some Spanish Outreach… live… in front of 15,000 people.
Looking ahead on the political calendar, the democrat party has major milestone approaching, the year 2022 and the reason Joe B has to be gone before he can do damage before 2022.
1. There are key Red State Governors and legislative bodies standing for election that year. This is a vital part of the turn RED to BLUE effort.
2. There are more democrat senator seats up for re-election that republican. There are fresh memories of how things went when for Obama’s and even President Trump’s 1st election cycle in office.
3. The Obama coveted chairmanship for the UN General Assembly opens for nominations. The financial puppet masters and not few national leaders want Obama in that seat to help kick start the NWO transition.
It was critical, last night, for Harris to lie up to the pre-debate media hype that she is better than President Trump. She failed miserably to even out perform the VP, let alone prove she was ready to replace President Trump.
Then you really need to bring a Cameltoe’s reparations issues and her family’s history.

In another scrubbed page we found this interesting entry.
Whiteley said that he & Brown discussed the concept of “amelioration” of slavery in the 1820s & 1830s which, as distinct from the outright prohibition & extinction of slavery abolitionism.
Whiteley evenproposed making slavery more humane and tolerable, if that was even possible. Good ole Pawpaw Brown was opposed even to this, according to Whiteley in the book
Whiteley graphically describes how he saw slaves, some girls as young as 12 years old, flogged between 40 and 50 times with a horse whip, for supposed misconduct as trivial as oversleeping or not meeting their assigned work targets. Pawpaw Brown was an evil SOB
Trump campaign needs to use this. Joe and Kamala both are racist pigs. When does she intend to pay reparations?
President Trump has grit. He fights for our country with the same spirit and heart as the men who founded it.

Hell-Yeah! The “Cone Of Silence” Sorry About That Chief…..
OAN interview with Roger Stone
Dr Li-Meng Yan, the Chinese whistleblower who defected to the U.S. to get the truth out about the China CCP Virus, has published her second paper, and this one is a doozy.
Dr Yan goes there.
China CCP Virus is a bio-weapon.
‘Unrestricted Bioweapon’: China Whistleblower Dr. Yan Releases New Report Claiming Coronavirus Is ‘Laboratory Product’
“If SARS-CoV-2 is of a natural origin, no fabrications would be needed to suggest so. The current report, therefore, corroborates our earlier report and further proves that SARS-CoV-2 is a laboratory product.”
“SARS-CoV-2 not only meets but also surpasses the standards of a traditional bioweapon. Therefore, it should be defined as an Unrestricted Bioweapon.”
https://thenationalpulse.com/coronavirus/unrestricted-bioweapon-china-whistleblower-dr-yan-releases-new-report-claiming-coronavirus-is-laboratory-product/
CCP has arrested Dr Yan’s mother and carted Mother off to Beijing.
Dr Yan is being censored by the CCP-loving oligarchs and monopolists of the United States.
Only Tucker Carlson allows her a voice.
The report is embed at link above. Read it and decide for yourself.
It certainly looks as though this disease is a bioweapon but others with more expertise than I have need to read the paper.
Come on man!

Mike Pence swatted the competition and deep state fly drone.
Let’s face it. Harris/Biden can’t even draw flies at this point.
So I think what we’re seeing here is that the Commission On Presidential Debates has concluded that any combination of:
* Face masks
* Social distancing
* Plexiglass partitions
is entirely ineffective against the potential spread of COVID-19.
Is that right?
Everyone in Scuba suits and oxygen tanks
..can image -sleepy joe- in HAZMAT – SUIT…….
The so-called ‘nonpartisan’ commission on presidential debates must be terminated.
Susan Page set the biased framework for the debate right off the bat. The very first question was a hidden accusation.
“Senator Harris, the coronavirus is not under control.”
This is the Democrat narrative, which is playing out now in the lock-down Blue States.
And we got the obligatory “Climate Change is causing The World to spontaneously combust!!!” narrative. Tiresome.
As usual, they keep moving the goal posts.
WHAT does that even MEAN, ..”under control”?
Is influenza “under control”? How about “the common cold”?
SMALLPOX is “Under Control”, I suppose,..
Maybe Polio?
Amasing how they morphed “flattening the curve” and “slowing the spread” in order to avoid Hospitals being overwhelmed, into we all must do our part by hiding in our basements, until the virus is totally irradicated!
With all the third world immigrants here that Obama invited is Tuberculosis under control?
They are playing the zero sum game. Must get to zero cases – knowing full well it’s impossible. Liberals do it all the time: Can’t have Pee Wee Football because there is no 100% guarantee against injury.
Dutch, she verbalized the DemoCommies’ philosophy of government: it can and must control everything. Anything and everything beyond that is secondary.
I often wonder if they even know what a goal post is, they’re so scattered!
Well, if a pesky fly, which is airborne can get around the plexiglass, and it is multiple times larger than a virus which is also airborne, that becomes a proven fact.
Those not wearing a face mask are not protected by the face mask being worn by others. Those wearing a face mask are not protected from others not wearing a face mask. Therefore, face masks do not work.
Many “peaceful” protesters did not wear masks and did not socially distance. What are the stats on how many contracted the virus. Many people attending meetings did socially distance as recommended, yet many still got the virus. Ergo, social distancing is a “hit or miss” situation.
The fly can make it past the plexi barrier but the virus can’t
Plexi-glass panels didn’t save K Harris.
Have live
in-person debates
~>in all-glass cubicles on a stage
why was there no plexiglass protecting the moderator?
The fly got through ?
I’m sure partitions and masks work like a chainlink fence on the China Virus.
I’m chuckling in my parked car ?
Yes, if the corona virus were the size of a golf ball then the “chain link” of average fiber would have openings about 30-150 feet in size
Could that fly have been a mini drone?
Asking for a friend.
They’re a Democrat prop. Virus hysteria is a core part of their campaign strategy. It enables vote by mail, ie overwhelming absentee balloting; it enables changing deadlines for voter registration and ballot receipt by supervisors of elections; it enables debate avoidance.
As in those old game shows where they wanted ask questions without others hearing.
No to this idea of a virtual debate! I’m tired of Zoom and virtual video conferences! I want to see both major candidates physically on the debate stage in a town hall! Rigged just like these fake polls the media keeps pushing!
All a “virtual” debate means is that Biden will be fed answers.
And the audio and video will be manipulated to make him look less senile.
Questions and scripted answered he will read from.
Guaranteed. They can hide all kinds of things in that format. Joe could be taking a nap inbetween questions or gtting B12 shots every half hour. Bogus and the debate commission is bogus too. Why anyone puts up with them is beyond me.
Republican Party -RNC-where the heck are you????? MIA as usual.
I’m a millennial Trump supporter, and I can’t understand how the whiny crybabies in my age bracket vote Democrat. Not for anything, but how does anyone actually like Kamala Harris? I know she’s a strong, brave, independent woman (eye roll), but I find her to be so incredibly phony and disingenuous. I could barely watch the debate, because I can’t stand her annoying, shrill voice. She gives Hillary a run for her money with that obnoxious laugh. She has absolutely no qualifications to lead a small company let alone serve as Vice President. Mike Pence mopped the floor with her last night. It wasn’t even close. Little George Stephanopoulos said that Pence was mansplaining, as did communist Van Jones. When that’s their top criticism, you know that Kamala had a bad night.
Millennial here too and 100% agree. I also really detest that her only way of getting into politics is on her back, and I am NO feminist. Our side has had bad candidates in the past, but this year the let’s are cringeworthy awful.
*the left’s
Couldn’t agree with you more! Absolutely awful candidates.
So ask yourself: if the best they can do is throw that Hot Mess out there… what is their REAL plan to take the 2020 election? It certainly ain’t running quality candidates and a quality campaign. Harris/Biden is laughable. We know it… they know it… we know that they know it… they know that we know that they know it… etc.
Yep, this is a wag the dog if I ever saw one. They’re putting forth just enough effort to make it seem like they’re really trying….meanwhile they are working overtime to fraudulently take the Senate.
too bad Karma is interfering with their plans: Mark Kelly’s China issues and the randy idiot in North Carolina saving Tillis’ bacon. With all the tyrant Democrat behavior demonstrated in the last few months, I don’t see anyone wanting a Democrat in office anywhere.
“how does anyone actually like Kamala Harris”
Harris is not liked. Perhaps more so than HRC, if you can believe it. HRC at least has SOME degree of “polish” in the way she presents herself… which is what makes her a good liar and untrustworthy, actually. Harris, on the other hand, just brings out the “oh HELL no!” in everybody. Her own campaign was little more than a Stale Fart, when it came right down to it. And SHE had the advantage: minority female.
I think once truly Undecideds, and maybe even some rabid Trump Haters, really start to come to grips with Harris being the actual Presidential Candidate, they may rethink casting any vote whatsoever. I can’t imagine the “enthusiasm quotient” for Harris/Biden has any chance of being put in their “Pros” column.
Put a wig on Corey Booker and voila – Kamala Harris!
Let’s not insult Corey Booker, he’s a complete waste of space of he’s no Kamala.
He also always looks insane with bugged out eyes in a rampage. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile.
Martha Radditz(!) had to say to her fellow male reporters that Kamala is a big girl and she is open to any valid criticism.
That she should not be excused because of her sex.
Chris, the dem party is the party of “lowering standards.” Your observation is spot on regarding Harris abilities yet the dems pretend she is capable. Heck the dems do not even want people serving time for crimes. Even Yale dems are trying to do away with standardized test for entry. Truth is Harris is only there because she is a pseudo minority, not the best candidate. She is propped up and used as a shield against white man and the USA. Observe any minority run town and you will see decay and a bunch of people who justify it by blaming whitey. It is a business for them. Everyone knows it but we all have to pretend.
You’re right. What does mansplaining even mean in this context? Being smarter than she is? He was a gentleman and never attacked her personally once. He just shot her the facts and the truth for which she had no answers at all. She was pathetically unprepared to be at this level.
Media, leftist shills whining about nothing as usual.
… and one more thing…
How the hell does one make the argument: “Trump is TOO AFRAID to do a virtual debate!!!”
That just doesn’t add up. Ball is in Harris/Biden camp’s court, IMO. They either go live, or they own the cancellation. Yes? No?
Why would either of these candidates forego their Constitutional right to face their accusers?
Obviously, the Constitutional candidate will not!
That SLO-Joe would just roll over on the Constitution and not be brave enough to defend it, himself, or his ideas, IS THE MESSAGE both he and his running mate are permeating . . .
The most important words spoken at the debate last night:
“I couldn’t be more proud to serve as vice president to a President who stands on a policy for the sanctity of human life. I’m pro-life. I don’t apologize for it. And this is another one of those cases where there’s such a dramatic contrast. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris support taxpayer funding of abortion, all the way up to the moment of birth, late-term abortion. They want to increase funding to Planned Parenthood of America. Now for our part, I would never presume how Amy Coney Barrett would rule on the Supreme Court of the United States but we’ll continue to stand strong for the right to life.”
Amen
That was awesome. No turning away, no trying to lessen his committment, quiet strength, just straightforward telling it like it is. Strong, strong statement done very well. Very well done. Very courageous.
“She’s a strong, brave, independent woman”… She certainly is a super-spreader.
That is rich, independent yet she had to sleep her way into all her jobs?
Is that what it’s referred to now, “sleeping?”
I was being nice. 😉 I personally think she is a wh0re.
Ha!
Political whore for certain. Whether “Heels Up” sells her “favors” for immediate monetary gain is not proven so I won’t make that accusation…. although…. why did she earn that unflattering nickname from the folks in California?
Why It Should Matter to Women That Kamala Harris Slept Her Way Up
She has already run for vice precedent.

There is an opportunity here, that I would hope the President would consider, and that would be to invite the Libertarian Party nominee (who is on the ballot in all 50 states), Mrs. Joanne “Jo” Jorgensen, Ph.D. to debate him, while excluding Biden form the event.
This would provide her with an opportunity to finally be in one Presidential debate, since the two parties kept her out of the main 3 offered to the other two candidates (Republicans / Democrats). Further, it fits with PDJT’s independent spirit (he was toying with a third ticket run for years), and would be an opportunity for a civil discussion of ideas / issues.
Additionally, she does not really hurt his base, yet she can really hurt Biden with a good showing.
My feeling is that another PEP rally is a waste of time. Schedule a debate with Dr. Jo. and actually enjoy discussing ideas about the direction of the nation, while addressing concerns.
https://jo20.com/
He would come off as magnanimous toward the first debate, while being generous to a third party / the American citizens while offering the debate stage to other ideas / a different perspective. She would finally have an opportunity to present her ideas to a much wider audience. Biden would just look pathetic for not taking part, and as coward for never even offering a third party candidate a chance for a wider audience.
No…that could only help the Libertarian candidate get exposure and credibility and might siphon votes from Trump
Unfortunately, I will have to (respectfully) disagree with you. You seem to be coming at this from a standpoint of fear. Either PDJT truly has the best ideas or he doesn’t, which do you believe? If he does, then he could have a polite debate with Dr. Jo. and all should be fine for the both of them.
There are Conservative Libertarians and there are Liberal-ish Libertarians. PDJT’s base is secure and already contains Libertarians counted amongst the group (I know, as I am one of them). With Biden being a “no show” some of his less radical followers and some of the independents that might lean BLUE, could go to Dr. Jo and PDJT would look very good by giving an opportunity to the third party, when the Democrats would never permit such a thing.
Plus, it shakes off the UNI-PARTY accusation, if an opportunity is opened up. What is there to fear?
All debates and political races are supposed to be about ideas, and permitting the best ideas to win; simple as that. The fact that the two parties keep out any challengers is basically illegal, but extremely hard to litigate.
Why would the President even consider debating a nobody and lend any credibility to a nobody? As well as, why lend any credibility to a party with ideals so lofty (as Tom Hulse in the movie “Beethoven”) they crap marble (but mean nothing as far as governing is concerned)?
Why, what ideals are you speaking of? Do actually know any of the ideals of the Libertarian party?
In terms of credibility, neither the party or its candidate require being lent credibility. Also, you may wish to recall that PDJT was originally going to run as a third party candidate in 2000. Should he have done so, would you have wanted him left out of the debate as well?
Did you agree with the many attempts to keep Mr. Perot out of the debates in the 1990s?
As for your “Why would the President even consider…”, I have already provided ideas as to the “why”. If you simply do not like them or simply disagree, so be it.
As for the Beethoven quote, I would ask you why anyone would choose that quotation for this (polite) conversation?
Thanks for your response.
Simply put, Perot would govern while there is NOT a single libertarian leader I have known who would have the slightest idea how to govern. They spout lofty ideals but zero on governing. There is a big difference which is why Libertarians should never ever be allowed near a leadership role.
Actually Gary Johnson was a pretty good Governor, until he started getting the really good weed.
The early Libertarian Party, of which I was a member for a while, was much different than this bunch of clowns. Completely infiltrated with leftist Democrats, whose only thing was the legalization of weed.
It used to be more closely aligned with Jefferson than with Bozo the stoned Clown.
YMMV
Okay willthesuevi; however, Dr. Jo does not seem to be smoking any weed or saying anything stupid. You should look here up if you have a moment; I do not think it will be a waste of time and you might respect her (you may not vote for her, but at least you might respect her and some of her ideas).
She feels like a return to form and a good steward of Jeffersonian ideals. Mr. Johnson has faded into the wood work, and I only mentioned him as one example of legislative experience within the party.
Not a chance. She is only one person. They completely lost me when they actively pursued open borders. The Libertarians are Libertarian in name only, and are far, far too infiltrated to be an effective party.
I will never waste my vote again.
Okay, but my original post was simply to say she should be allowed to debate and PDJT could provide an opportunity that is not uni-party.
I am still in the Last Refuge for a Rag-Tag group of Conservatives, aren’t I? Conservative do not normally mind a spirited debate of ideas. Leftists consistently try to shut down a spirited debate of ideas.
Simple as that.
Best…
This has always been my sticking point
==============================================================
Immigrants’ rights: The Libertarian party argues that borders should be open but surveilled. Everyone who does not pose a threat to public health or national security should be allowed to enter the country legally.
Is it safe to assume that you both do realize that the Honorable Ronald Ernest Paul, M.D. was the libertarian candidate of 1988?
Could we also assume that both of you know that Messrs. Johnson and Weld were governors (the last was also an Ambassadors and at one time considered a challenge to President Clinton, which was often cited as the reason he was sent to Mexico)?
So I would have to, respectfully, reject the notion that Libertarians do not know how to govern.
As for thedoc00, you still have not provided any good reason why Dr. Jo should be left out of a Presidential debate. Are you afraid she would actually win in this indoctrinated nation of the Uni-party? If not, then why not let the two (the President and the candidate) have a nice debate?
And booger71, we have often had some good dialogues, which I am appreciative of; however, I just have to disagree with you on this one. So if the ideas behind the borders are so wrong, then why not let her make her case in a Presidential debate, and let the Big Guy counter with his perspective / now experience with the wall, as well as ICE?
It could not hurt him one bit to have a civil debate with a candidate that he does not need to prop up every few minutes through interruptions. He could have easily, hands down won that first debate if he simply made a comment, did a quick follow-up and then fell silent. Joe would have rambled himself into the ground with verbal stupidity. Instead the President propped up an old man to make him look like a real opponent. He would have to do not such thing with Dr. Jo.
Wow, I thought I had arrived at the Last Refuge for a Band of Conservative Rag-Tag Misfits. Mr. Sundance has often made a coherent case for ending the uni-party control and supporting the once Democrat, once Independent, and finally Republican candidate Mr. Donald J. Trump. If we can support an outsider as not being a uni-party stooge for the case of electing him to be the President, then why not support other candidates who are also not uni-party? The logic of not doing so, seems flawed.
Should we also now tell all our youth that they can never grow up to be President, unless they subscribe to the uni-party ideals and become slaves to the swamp? That does not sound like the United States of American to me, and I do not thank any true conservative would even hint at such a notion.
Best to all of you,

I agree with some of the Libertarian Party, but until they get off the open borders, legal prostitution, and insistence that all drugs should be legal, I will stand pat. As far as Mr Paul goes, he would have never been elected to the House running as a Libertarian.
Okay, far enough and I do appreciate your response; however, all I am saying is that the candidate should be permitted to debate, and PDJT could make it happen without Joe and his people baring the possibility. Plus it leaves Joe in the basement, which does not look good for the old man at all.
As for Dr. Paul, okay I could agree with you, but it does not make it right. We are supposed to be truly free. It is the core reason for this nation. So why not let third and fourth party candidates get a chance to freely speak their minds?
Why not start change now, with the outsider, President who actually gained so much independent and Libertarian support?
Listen, I really like the way you framed your response and did not switch to attack mode on me simply stating an idea that in the end can really hurt no one. As always it is great to speak with you and I wish you very well.
If this is the Last Refuge for all of us, then we need to be true to ourselves as conservatives and let the ideas flow. If not, then CTH becomes like so many other sites out there, where screaming drowns out conversation, ideas are refused and hope dies.
Thanks for the response.
Meant to say, “fair enough, not far enough”…Sorry about that.
This one time registered Reform Party supporter had never been elected to anything before (which he states) in the interview, and he had zero legislative experience going into the office. Yet things seemed to work out okay and he has been accepted, regardless of his CV prior to going into office.
Now as I have already pointed out, some Libertarians have had legislative experience, which could have been seen as a deeper aptitude regarding our government (at least if you had the two CVs in front of you, before PDJT assumed office).
It was an idea for a civil debate, not an idea for the end of the world. Either you believe in the President and his abilities to easily share winning ideas that inspire, no matter who the opponent, or you don’t.
Let us recall that no republic on the planet has made it to a 300th anniversary. The model for our nation was the Roman Republic, which fell in large part due to crushing debt. We are now facing a point where the “VIG” will be larger than GDP. Having a conversation on ideas and how to save the future of the nation could be very helpful to us all.
Best…
Respectfully disagree.
However, a good case could be made that the CPUSA had candidates involved in POTUS debates, and therefore the Libertarian candidate should have been included.
Fair enough, and I appreciate your point, as well as your response.
Thank you.
I’ve always considered myself to be a small L libertarian who typically votes Republican, especially for President Trump. That is because most libertarians are completely confused when it comes to global trade. They believe that tariffs are always bad and they should never be used, even if other countries are using them to keep U.S. goods out of their markets. We’ve seen the result of 30 years of that thinking and I’ll just say, “That’s really stupid”. President Trump has demonstrated how tariffs can be a very useful tool.
Brian in CA4,
Respectfully disagree, and I believe many of our farmers might as well. Tariffs are an indirect tax on citizens. PDJT had to go this route because the uni-party in Congress would not have supported a unilateral measure to place China in “check”; basically, he did not have a lot of other options on the table and although I do not agree with tariffs, I can reasonably respect his thoughts and actions in this matter. Yet, as a Libertarian, myself, I am not confused about tariffs at all.
What Libertarians are in favor of is not creating our own enemies through first propping up a nation or nations (Russia and China since lend lease), which we have very little in common with, and then creating our own enemy that we have to deal with at some future date through such measures as tariffs or threatening war.
Calling an idea “stupid” does not necessarily make your opinion correct; however I respect you either way and will thank you for your response.
Best,

Just and FYI, CTH friends:
My original post and idea was simply about having a debate and excluding Joe Biden, it was not a referendum on Libertarian ideas or the platform.
From my (humble) perspective, we should allow all candidates to bring ideas to the table in our debates if we are truly free. Let ideas complete, and may the best ideas win.
Simple thought, from a simple citizen.
Best…
Meant “an FYI”, not “and FYI”…mea culpa, I do not know what it is with me and keyboards today. = )
That’s just my point Simple Citizen. Even when it was obvious that PDJT had no other options with China, Libertarians (and many globalist RINOs) still didn’t want him to use tariffs for leverage. I think you made my point for me….thanks 🙂
Hardly. Respectfully, you may have missed that I am a Libertarian, and I understood the tariffs, without issue as the only measure left. To lump Liberatarians in with RINOs is like saying you actually paid attention to anything I said here. It is misguided.
My original post was about debates, not trying to sell a party to anyone.
To not permit free speech and inclusion in a dialogue has a USSR feel.

BrianinCA4,
Respectfully, I have never seen you on this blog before, ever. Further, the only place I see you here today is speaking with me. While I am flattered that you would give me your time, I do have to wonder why I am the sole winner of your attention?
Certainly you seem to be an opinionated sole, with good writing abilities and yet, you are only sharing them with me…why?
Oh well, my guess is that I will not see you again here, and either way I wish you well.
Best,
Simple Citizen
YEAH!
Ha… smells like desperation?
He already has blamed it on bad intelligence. The part he appears to continually leave out is that it is his OWN FALSE intel pushed again and again into the FBI and State Run Media
Yep:
False INTEL released from agencies under his control and gee it was his notes referenced.
Cities burning and incidents of system racism only seems to be occurring in long run democrat cities and states.
Interesting how those points never seem to be mentioned.
Anyone who says “Full stop” to shut down any other argument or due consideration, is the same fool who describes concepts as “a no brainer”, and has no rational argument besides the non-statement of “it is, what it is”
Like saying “Clearly”, one of Fauxi’s favorite gimmicks, it is preemptive attempt to forestall any disagreement, and a cheap trick.
JCM800 says: ‘Anyone who says “Full stop” to shut down any other argument or due consideration, is the same fool who describes concepts as “a no brainer”, and has no rational argument besides the non-statement of “it is, what it is” ‘
Oh noes. My forum nick resembles that remark. 🙂
You left off: “It’s settled science“.
“it’s settled anything, is a demand to cease debate…..Lazy or Inept speakers often attempt to use one word to describe complex detailed concepts, thereby oversimplifying.
i e. “it’s all about the __________” (game, music, sounds, look, moves, nookie…)
Add “problematic”, “micro aggression” and “privilege” to this list.
BS Brennan is at it again. Russia Russia Russia is a ruse.
Biden is THE candidate because of China. China gave us Covid. China is the real threat.
Funny thing is that 68K liked his comment. Its sad how may low info folks buy into his BS.
I want to know on what date Brennan or Litt briefed Biden and framed the Logan Act.
So the 1000 page Binder of classified docs that Ratcliffe refers to didn’t necessarily happen yesterday as I read it. It could have been anytime since he took over last Spring
“At my direction, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has now provided almost 1,000 pages of materials to the Department of Justice in response to Mr. Durham’s document requests,” Ratcliffe said Wednesday. “I will continue to ensure the Intelligence Community’s responsiveness to the DOJ’s requests.”
Correcting myself:
“Justice Department investigators must cross Washington to review the material on-site at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in McLean, Virginia.”
He must be adding pressure to Haspell and Wray, but I thought they worked for him. I am sure they redacted all. We need to come out of this with consistent redaction standards. Standards that favor the taxpayer and TRUTH
Gina Haspell works for Director Ratcliff under ODNI.
Director Wray works for AG bagpipes and the DoJ, providing the FBI staff actually doing the investigating.
You may have already seen this video from a doctor explaining how corrupt at least one of the wuflu “vaccines” are. It was just forwarded to me this morning and, the “Luciferase” part of the drug — purposely named after Lucifer = Satan = demonic angel of light — gives a whole new meaning to deep state.

Saw a comment on something I was reading over early this morning, stating that covid spelled backwards is dovid, which is the Hebrew for ‘possessed by the devil’…..
The “CO” stands for corona, “VI” for virus and “D” for disease.
Covid spelled backwards is Divoc, not dovid
What Divoc was theis virus that China unleashed on the world?
“Dibbuk”, דִּיבּוּק English translation for something attaching itself to a person or other thing, in this instance it could be a negative influence attaching itself to a person.
If true-no wonder Mark Meadows deliberately shot his mouth off outside Walter Reed
here is insanity..evil….
Word soup. scientists! Nancy give us the names of those scientists and a copy of their resumes.
She is pure EVIL.
Now we have a pretty good idea how the president got COVID-19.
Pelosi Plotting to Remove Trump? Tells Press “Tomorrow We are Going to Be Talking About the 25th Amendment”
By Kristinn Taylor
Published October 8, 2020
Now we have an idea how they plan to get the presidency. Through another lie!
If Donald The Great’s decision to walk away from further negotiations with the conniving and dishonorable Speaker of the House of Representatives WERE ACTUALLY HELPING DEMS, the Speaker would not have been out today so publicly PLEADING FOR HER POLITICAL LIFE as she is seen doing in this groveling and self-demeaning video.
Obviously the President hit a bull’s eye in reining in this wildly out of control, power-hungry Speaker of the House.
Ball’s in your court Nancy!
This Pelosi video must have been a public relations disaster because the Hill has disabled it. Wouldn’t surprise me if they pulled at C-span as well.
It’s still available at C-span. Must see!
You know, based on the below, that saying may actually be accurate!
Pence has suggested too many deep state people to President Trump to place in positions of power to not be deep state himself.
My jury has been out on Pence ever since he handled the Interview with Karl and follow up with Flynn/PDJT. That set the ball rolling to remove Flynn as he knew where ALL the bodies were buried from Zero’s administration.
I have always personally felt Pence was duped. I don’t think he’ll make that mistake again, but once was enough to ensure I don’t want to vote for him for POTUS. I’ll tolerate him in my foxhole if he keeps performing like he did last night.
Maybe duped, maybe too much of a good guy? I agree that he won’t be the President we need in 2024.
They trot out the same things over and over from 2016– same arguments, same questions, same comments, same polls, same fly.
Something else they have in common besides flies crawling on their faces is the shrill little cackle and sardonic grin
TO MsM: If all you got is a fly comment, then you’ve already lost.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1314229843018555392?s=20
The most interesting part of the President’s comment is its accuracy as investors are being bombarded directly by Financial News Outlets and Financial Management Companies using Financial News outlets as sources with commentary about preparing for post November 2020 election results. Their articles ALL contain, word for word, democrat party platform points saying exactly the same thing as in the President’s tweets and in recent Joe B adds. My financial advisor went defensive when I pointed that fact to him.
Remember that Wall Street and Chamber of Commerce have endorsed the democrats.
WTH.?
Pelosi is saying President Trump is mentally ill and needs replaced.
The Socialists are running out of ideas. They are cycling through their own garbage trying to find something new.
What a hoot!
Don’t hurt yerself laughing too hard.
25th A should apply to Congress and the Senate. There are many in Congress and the Senate who need to be removed immediately if not sooner.
Boy is that a mouthful of pure truth in a few well-chosen words.
May we start with Pelosi?
Jeans, that was my next sentence. I hit post comment too soon.
Another Treeper posted “great minds think alike”
Oh well. Liked it the way you left it, too!
Nancy Need’s To Put Her Shoes Back On Because Even With Her Mask On She Clearly Smells “De-Feat”…
She’s been trotting out that PDJT is incapacitated by covid, and the steroid drug he is taking.
As soon as Pres. Trump left the hospital, the narrative changed to the “damaging and lingering effects of the virus”. Trot out more pearl-clutching doc’s and pseudo scientists in lab quotes and then toss the ball back to Nancy.
coats not quotes. But I kinda like what spell check did there.
Yep, they are so pathetic.
File away for future reference –
Billy Bush Weekend. A supposed October Surprise, intended to knock out Candidate Trump (it didn’t).
Billy Bush was fired. Candidate Trump became President Trump.
Last week Steve Bannon told us Jason Miller was the one who ordered the 24 hour communications blackout (which worked well).
Today, Bannon tells us it was Chris Christie who insisted Candidate Trump drop out after the Billy Bush tapes.
Christie’s firm opinion was Candidate Trump could never recover.
Thankfully Bannon was his usual boorish self and refused to allow it.
Today, Bannon tells us Christie chose Mike Pence for VP.
Not true.
The Trump kids had the Pence interview and approved.
It is true that Chrisite chose Rod Rosenstein for Deputy AG, as well as a couple other Trump-backstabbing insiders.
Sundance believes Ronna Romney was the China CCP Virus Superspreader, which is most likely correct.
However.
Chris Christie was debate coach. Christie was also at the ACB event.
Christie was also at Cleve Clinic Debate Night.
New Jeresy was second only to New York for China CCP Virus infections and deaths.
Chris Christie checked himself into a New Jersey hospital “as a pre-caution.”
Ronna Romney McDaniel is not smart.
If Ronna was WH/RG patient 0 how did she contract China Flu? Maybe it has nothing to do with smarts.
Dunno, AoW. Just mulling things over in my mind, looking for patterns or something.
Ronna McDaniel could have been unknowingly infected, but honestly, idk. just kickin’ things around…
Me too, lots to mull over the next 26 days.
“Ronna Romney McDaniel is not smart.”
Agree with you, Jeans. But maybe, just maybe, that is what President Trump can use. Someone who can follow friggin’ orders and not over think stuff.
Chris Christie needs to take a long walk off a short pier. Best, if he takes Reince Preibus with him as an anchor.
My opinion – Billy Bush and Stephan Halper were both sacrificed by the Bush family, trying to get even for POTUS squashing the chosen Blue Blood successor.
Now, that’s a thought i’ve not yet heard, re: both Bushes and Romney McDaniel.. Interesting.
Thanks. Will add that to the bundle.
No one you mentioned would purposely let themselves be infected so that they could pass it to POTUS. The virus is quite unpredictable, you know? And in a guy like Christie, fat and asthmatic, it can be fatal.
No one would purposely allow infection. Is Christie dumb enough to be infected without knowing? idk.
Just musing aloud, hoping for a new idea or refutation.
OK here’s my idea for the debate format…
Two Lexan cubes containing the candidates. (Corona proof..Ta da)
Each time a question is asked and a candidate fails to directly answer the question one foot of water is introduced in their cube.
…and Biden has to wear shorts so black kids can admire his floating blond leg hairs.
LOL….
Unsee! Unsee! Ouch, can’t unsee.
Always a pleasure to give one of my favorites from the Emerald Isle, Ivor Cummings a plug. Speaking here to a radio show in Ireland. Why when there are people speaking with such rational and scientifically backed analysis, do we keep going round and round with the hysteria. Mind boggling how they have completely turned so many into mental migits driven by fear and media BS. Anyway as always a good listen. Fat Emperor on major Radio Show – Keeping it Real – Be Informed on the DATA! https://thefatemperor.com/fat-emperor-on-major-radio-show-keeping-it-real-be-informed-on-the-data/
Brave young woman scientist, refuge from Kong Kong, continues her scientific work supporting the conclusion that SARSCOV19 is a bio weapon, despite the CCP’s recent ham-handed arrest of her mother to silence her. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/covid-19-unrestricted-bioweapon-whistleblower-releases-second-paper-alleging-large-scale
I’d like to see an hours-long scientific debate between her team and scientists who disagree, before a large and diverse scientific audience, who vote at the end, on a scale of 1 to 5, how likely her allegations are, no politicians allowed. It is inexcusable that our formerly enlightened society, suffering through this pandemic, doesn’t treat this issue with the utmost gravity and transparency. It’s a disgrace to our scientific community and the level of our public discourse.
Maybe a separate panel of independent journalists to evaluate the factual bases for the public narrative of what happened in Wuhan and when.
I personally give her a 4 out of 5 probability, and, if supported by independent scientists, that justifies the most stringent international efforts to overturn the CCP.
Unfortunately, we face the strong risk that our own bio weapons resources are complicit, our own national security services engaged in cover up.
Any scientists out there care to rate the likelihood she’s correct?
I suspect that SARS-Cov2 was manipulated, but likely not as a bioweapon. It doesn’t target a militarily-relevant population. Rather, I think the Wuhan folks were playing around with it trying to create a vaccine vector. They added the Furin cleavage site so that it would be more effective at infecting human cells.
There’s a simple test that could be done to see if SARS-Cov2 really came from a bat and that would be to see if the furin cleavage site allows it to infects bat cells (or bats themselves) efficiently. My guess is that it wouldn’t.
Different kinds of warfare, DD. Destroying the Trump economy is a highly relevant military target, for both CCP, and the Deep State.
I believe that test has been done. Cov-2 is found to infect human cultured cells much more efficiently than bat cultured cells.
Here you go.

WHOA!!!! POTUS ON RUSH TOMORROW!!!!
Just came here to post this, guest host!
Ditto….Biggest Radio Rally Ever!!!!
Rush announcement:
“Now, later today, folks, we’re gonna be posting more details on the Rush Limbaugh website and on the Rush Limbaugh Facebook page. So keep a sharp eye out there. And you know what? There’s gonna be a special in-box set up for you to send your questions for President Trump. So be thinking of things you’d like to ask him today, and then get ready for the largest virtual rally in radio history tomorrow.”
My American friends, I am writing from Edmonton, Alberta Canada so I don’t get the privilege of voting for President Trump as you do. But there is a very real basis in my interest in your election. If the citizens of the USA vote in a socialist dictatorship it will mark the end of Western civilization. The tyranny will be unimaginable and will spread, even to my little corner of the world.
I have been fortunate to live in the United States and travel to many parts of your country. I have met so many wonderful Americans over the years. Many have become my close friends even though we are separated by distance. I worry so much what might befall them if Harris would become President (Biden i think is just a placeholder).
I feel powerless to help in any way other than to encourage you all to put your all into getting more and more votes out by the 3rd. I will pray every day for your well being and that God may bless your nation with continued liberty and justice.
God bless all reading this on this site.
I choose Freedom.
QV, thank you – you make me proud to be American and inspired to make it great. And you are right: if Democrats can pull this off here, the global socialists are going to be emboldened like never before. I predict 40 countries will go socialist within 18 months, either by free election or revolution.
Thank you so much for your kind words and your support of our awesome President, QV. I feel prayers are important too and we all can take time every day to do that. God willing we will save this country by reelecting President Trump.
VIRTUAL RALLY ON RUSH TOMORROW!!!!
Donald J Trump the ultimate guest host!!!!!
????????????????????
Sundance says there are no coincidences. Well… I assure you my post urging President Trump to take Rush up on his offer earlier this morning had nothing to do with this! Just lucky…. or maybe great minds think alike! Thanks to all who responded. It will doubtless be the largest audience in radio history.
I still like the imagery of POTUS in a boxing ring hosting a rally!
MAGA!
