President Trump has confirmed he will not be participating in the Fox News debate scheduled for August 23rd. The insufferable Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier will be moderating the first loser Republican primary discussion where leaked information from Ron DeSantis debate prep has been revealed.
[SOURCE]
Meanwhile the Never Back Down SuperPAC supporting Ron DeSantis has shared their goals and objectives with the New York Times.
Hundreds of pages of blunt advice, memos and internal polling were posted online by the main super PAC backing the Florida governor, offering an extraordinary glimpse into his operation’s thinking.
Ron DeSantis needs “to take a sledgehammer” to Vivek Ramaswamy, the political newcomer who is rising in the polls. He should “defend Donald Trump” when Chris Christie inevitably attacks the former president. And he needs to “attack Joe Biden and the media” no less than three to five times.
[…] “There are four basic must-dos,” one of the memos urges Mr. DeSantis, whom the document refers to as “GRD.”
[…] “1. Attack Joe Biden and the media 3-5 times. 2. State GRD’s positive vision 2-3 times. 3. Hammer Vivek Ramaswamy in a response. 4. Defend Donald Trump in absentia in response to a Chris Christie attack.”
The documents were posted this week on the website of Axiom Strategies, the company owned by Jeff Roe, the chief strategist of Mr. DeSantis’s super PAC, Never Back Down.
The New York Times was alerted to the existence of the documents by a person not connected to the DeSantis campaign or the super PAC. After The Times reached out to Never Back Down for comment on Thursday, the group removed from the website a key memo summarizing the suggested strategy for the debate. (more)


What if Ron was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Struggling to avoid eye contact like a drone?
Dunno, Rob’s wife and alma mater both give all away.
N’est ce-pas?
Desole, mais je ne comprends pas . . .
Moi, j’etais jouant avec un chanson . . .
Ron’s playing a song with a silver plate spoon in his mouth. And it AIN’T working!
LOL!
Exactement…le chanson de Joan Osborne…
j’ai comprise 😁
Moi non plus!
For starters, Meatball chose the wrong campaign manager
I see what you did there….Joan.
Great song.
Hate that blasphemous song.
Yikes! It’s like admitting you’re ugly and untouchable … just like him. Oooof
Dorks for Ron!
Wealthy, elite dorks for Ron.
Love it Sundance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍
If you have to have to outline this shallow of a campaign then clearly you don’t have a person to campaign for but just simply a shallow person…sad!
👍👍
back away from the hose.
Is this a Beachbum31 Original? It might be one of your best…
Awkward Americans who will therefore vote for De Santis because they identify with his awkwardness, notwithstanding our country needing someone very much NOT awkward?
That is sick and stupid.
What about awkward Americans who realize they have an awkward streak but in no way in hell would they want our President to be awkward!
There are people who love our country MORE than wanting someone “with whom they can identify as being awkward”.
Coming next suejeanne.
The “So God Made a Dork” campaign ad.
Identifying: kinda like women voting for HRC. 🤬
This is the media trying to tell us not to dislike Meatball because he is an anti social dork. They are going for the sympathy vote.
They did this with Fetterman. They tried to tell us that we cannot judge mental deficiencies, brain damage, or plain stupidity as something bad in positions of power within our government.
Because that’s what rises to the top… plain stupidity and all of its stepchildren.
People want their leaders to be their peers and not their betters. eg. Obama, Clinton, Carter, and most recently Fetterman
What does that say when you’re so self-absorbed that you don’t even realize that you’re a socially awkward person?! It took a presidential office run to find out how the majority of people view him….that must be quite an unnerving wake-up call for himself & Casey.
What certainly doesn’t help matters is that he also possesses a number of ticks or other physical attributes that add to his awkward persona e.g. Head bobbling; A wide open mouthed & obnoxious sounding laugh; A nasal pitched voice; What looks like a forced, strenuous or manufactured smile; Finally, an overall condescending & disingenuous demeanor. These will be remarkably difficult to overcome now & for the foreseeable future.
He has strange habits too.
I’ve never seen anyone more disgustingly wipe his nozzle and face in public like he does.
Icky dude.
The only time that I saw him as genuine was when he was prepping for a debate and leaning on the podium. He said with a huge sneer on his face something to the effect of, “I have to try to not reveal too much or else I’ll piss off Trump supporters.”
He was genuinely disgusted with the thought of having to be nice to MAGA voters.
I wish that I knew where that clip was on Twixxer.
The WaPo article reads like it was from the Babylon Bee.
They really are desperate to give TopGov anything resembling sidewalk-salt for the ice he’s on.
(I live in Minnesota so every house has sidewalk-salt near the front door in winter.) 🥶
YES!!
I will happily not watch the midgets having a food fight on Fox.
Wonderful news.
I will not watch this one on FOX. Let them reap what they have sown in lost viewership.
Are you talking about the mental midgets?
Single digit midgets can’t be too bright if they are pretending to be in the ring with Trump!!
Bring back “one-percenter” Mr President!
Why yes believe they are!
Me neither.
Why would I help Fox get ratings and take in advertising dollars.
Fox News can go to hell.
Debato no neccesita
Absolument non!!
The most savvy & star of the show will now be Chris Christie who’s political career has been over for a decade already.
In other words…. an unwatchable snooze fest.
Christy gots gravitass.
Non, he has not
Ah, but I misspelled it . . .
One might say he possesses an unattractive form of gravity.
😁
You mean gravy ass?
Christie is an honorable Atlantan: He never ever passes by a Krispy Kreme store.
Honorable like Jabba the Hutt?
Christie will be sizing up the candidates. He likes a good Donner Party…( not a typo)
Chris Christie says….Get in my belly!
😆😆😆
When he undoes his belt, does a giant vortex momentarily appear from his butt?
I’ll spend the evening living my best life with my family instead of watching state sponsored propaganda.
Bret Baier will have stuffing squirting out of his cabbage patch eyes tonight.
😆
Trump is not there, then I won’t be there either!
That is all! Carry on!
Smart Mouse!
No need to take any of the clowns seriously.
Why would a nationalist want to debate a dozen globalists anyway?
He has nothing in common with the neocons on that stage. ( Don’t forget neocons are descendants of Trotsky.)
Better to kick them and mock them than debate them.
I’ll never vote for any Republican again after this election.
I like that remembrance. Trotsky was a war monger who at the time had killed way more people than Stalin had. It was only after Stalin secured power that he ran up his death toll. (Including Trotsky.)
Except, Trotsky had a great advantage over all his neocon descendants. Trotsky won his war.
Alas for Trotsky, he had no advantage over Frida Kahlo.
It won’t even be a Republican ‘debate’ and instead a “discussion.” (ROTFLMBO!!!)
Sophy tecknically it will be a RINO debate
R.D.
It’s another example of straight up election interference.
If President Trump attended—Fox News would be wetting themselves while questioning President Trump on impending arraignment(s).
It’s almost as if Jeb DeSantis took lessons in How To Act Natural from the unprosecuted multiple felon formerly known as “Hillary in a landslide.” He’s just THAT awkward. The LAST place that Jeb DeSantis should be seen is anywhere around normal, real people, because it only makes his fake, focus-group “personality” that much more obvious.
oh, man, that’s funny
blessed are the meme-makers, for they shall keep us in stitches
You’re killing me…🤣
I. Can’t. Stop. Laughing 😃
Love it!!!
This is precious!
I will never forget the moment Jeb Bush was politically executed by Trump with 6 words… Jeb said “I’m low key..” and Trump – almost as an afterthought responded:
“Yes, you must be very tired.”
It was as if Trump had kicked him in the nads. Political crucifixion in six words. Jeb never got back up. Delicious!
If you are 50 points, why debate? All single digits contenders should just have an MMF style fight instead of debating.
Donald Jacksonian Trump My Man!
Is this story about this PAC real regarding the debate talking points or is it some kind of head fake??? 🤔
I would love to see President Trump!do a Rally that night and have him bring Oliver Anthony along to sing!!! 🇺🇸
Two things that Trump must do to “clean up”as he says the corruption
1. End the GOP and start the American Party
2. Convene a Constitutional Convention of the States and update the US Constitution to guard against the corruption and fix once and for all the election laws and process of our country.
The US needs to put the citizen back in charge of this country. We need to look at a system akin to Switzerland, where citizens participate regularly in the political process via referendum.
And the federal bureaucracy, especially the intelligence agencies must be placed under full political control. No more unaccountable branches within government!
Finally, the media must be subjected to libel and slander laws and must be depoliticized. No media organization should be allowed to have corporate or political links of any sort and retain unfettered first amendment privileges. They have abused those privileges and treated them as a license to lie to the people
We needn’t and mustn’t mess with the Constitution.
Our Constitution was never the problem, it was the accumulation of grotesque powers in the hands of uncontrolled agencies and the destruction of two centuries of Communist schemes.
We need to repeal the 13th, 16th, and 17th, and maybe nineteenth too, and clean house throughout the Federal Government.
Including banning Federal Trials and Grand Juries in DC.
We need to restore, not renovate, the Communists are begging us to initiate a ConConCon, it would be the end of our Constitution and the end of us, there could be no more dangerous capitulation to our enemies than that.
Agreed. The Founding Documents are fine, it’s the grifters we need to handle, I just wish we could hire H’s “wet work team” – couple of months of suicides on door knobs, or drowning with holes in their chest, or sucides by two to the head like Foster – and this would end in a minute – clever thay are.
Something for you, as I so enjoy your relaxed style, and that is, the airliner kal 007, that the Soviets downed, hasd the director of the JBSociety on board. The group was making excellent strides on gaining review of the United Nations, or getting out all together. Do you have any thoughts, Reagan appeared ambivalent to the issue which seemed convenient. Thoughts, and bless this group. Raven6 1965 – 1993
Still digging into that since it was brought to my attention recently, but it seems entirely plausible.
The Titanic was carrying men planning on blocking the creation of the Fed, after all.
Derps happen.
Thank You Maquis, so many do NOT understand the danger of a convention of the states, it’s never been done and their powers would be total with no oversight , exactly what the Marxist’s need to destroy what is left of America.
We cannot even seem to elect decent people or control school boards for our children. How are we going to have a convention of states and change the constitution? I wish people would think deeply on this and quit bringing up the subject. They do not understand what they are saying. Just sayin.
While I don’t like seeing it pushed, folks bringing it up enable us to refute it and explain the dangers, exposing many more minds to the true intentions of the schemers and the genuine hazards it represents.
The Treehouse truly rocks.
yes, and the way GOP, Republicans, ‘conservatives’ … whatever … get constantly outsmarted and outmaneuvered and outplayed by the Dems, what on earth would make us hope Dems wouldn’t commandeer the process to their own ends?
Disaster waiting to happen
It was actually done once, when a Convention was authorized for the purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation.
Out of that came our magnificent Constitution, by the Grace of God.
We have no men of such standing with God or man in our day, and it would indeed lack oversight, despite the many lies of those that push for it.
Some folks, most I presume, charitably, perhaps, don’t intend the destruction that would occur, but those behind the push most certainly do.
I’ve increasingly come to view it as a being presented as the only way out short of a bloody revolution, expecting good people to flock to their doom, the Derps closing every other door for a course correction leaving this one all too glittery and magical solution waiting on the other side of the cattle chute.
Blessedly, while this won’t work and would end in destruction, and a revolution wouldn’t work and would end in destruction and occupation by foreign powers, Mike Lindell has come up with a magnificent plan that has amazing potential to enable us to take up the fight to save America by fixing our elections.
Focusing first on getting rid of the machines, catching every single act of internet communication between machines and devices in every precinct in every election across America in real time, we shut the schemers down; we also will be addressing our benign hostile take over of the GOP in every single state with the Precinct Strategy and the assistance of the organization his team is building.
Much room for hope, a real opportunity to seek a Godly solution and refuse the Doomers.
How can we ask for a Godly solution to any of our governmental problems when the 1787 Constitution doesn’t mention God at all? Or when the federal judicial system suppresses all mention of God on our public buildings? Of course, the U.S. has always been a Christian nation, but not officially, and since around WWII, ever less so since, as we can all too readily see today. Abortion has rotted out the souls of a large part of the public over the past 60 years while slaughtering 65 million babies. About one third of the nation’s population would fight tooth and nail to keep any legal, constitutional mention of God off the books. And the feral wolves of the inner cities are apparently the recruits for the Anti-Christ, while actual Satan worshipers abound. Etc., etc. We are in dire straights, indeed, with the only long-term prayer of survival being a true national return to the God of our Fathers.
Governments have always been hostile towards free religious worship. We had a brief, historical anomaly with the US until recently, but of course it has always been doomed. I am grateful that we still can have freedom of religious thought and practice in the US, but that will likely be the last pillar to fall. They were successful to a large degree with Covid. It was the most effective method for destroying liberty the modern world has ever seen, so look forward to more and more Covid-like episodes. I would bet that the Deep state has it in their plans right now. The issue is that chemical warfare is far more effective in cities than in rural areas. The rural areas are what they need to control. Most red states have blue cities, and that’s the problem with covid like attacks. They probably killed more of their own with Covid, but they were able to make up those deaths by inventing mail in votes. 81 million? Rrrright!
Anyway, Religion is the opiate of the masses no more. Except for the worship of hedonism and self aggrandizement. That’s the new religion of the masses. Much to the satisfaction of the new world order.
We should also repeal the XIVth Amendment, it was already unnecessary by the time it was passed, and has been used to further all sorts of nonsense unrelated to its original purpose (including giving citizenship to anchor babies).
I’ve not done the studying necessary to comment on the entirety of that Amendment, yet, putting on mental list of tasks, but I agree that most of what seems to have come out of that is at this point destructive.
We have totally lost the plot on citizenship and the significance of culture in who we choose to rule us, and we were never intended to choose literal rulers, but here we are, and there seems an entire caste of new Americans eager to take on the job.
Naive Europeans used to subscribe to “The DivineRight of Kings”. It was an easier way to go-along-to-get-along.
In my generation (and I am old) I think a lot of us were taught to believe we had been blessed by Providence in a way that required no work and participation by citizenry. Meanwhile innumerable distractions have soaked up attention that should have been allocated to self-rule.
We can do a lot better at this
The scripture says to be careful of false brethren who are brought in unawares (Galatians 22:4).
Of course this is referring to our spiritual status but it fits perfectly with our government too.
Good point.
There are some good points to the 14rh, which if adhered to would help the cause. For instance
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; would seem to apply to the Texas vs Pennsylvania case.
Exactly.
Add balancing the budget and line item veto. DC has WAYYYY too much of our money to throw around on their no good activities.
Honestly there is no need for a Constitutional Convention – the convention is a canard for the Demoncrats to really muck it up.
The constitution is a big beautiful perfect document as-is.
As to #1- how about we do away with parties entirely. Each candidate runs as their own person. No party apparatus, no party rules, eligibility to run is determined by the Constitution only.
We only have the attire to put rules and blocks between voters and candidates.
It will be a snooze fest and probably the least-watched Debate.
Might just watch CNN.. It is still on isn’t it ???
ha. that would be like party-crashing.
Pres Trump should either have a rally or schedule an interview with Tucker during the same timeslot.
I was thinking, he should announce that he will be taking a dump at home, and therefore will be unable to make the debate. that would put it all in perspective.
Trump continues to make good on Beat Deepstate Pledge to us.
I know some people may not care for Trump to hint to his intelligence level but I like it and I’ll tell you why . The first is the fact that Trumps IQ is extremely high that’s no secret but even more so I know it drives the left absolutely berserk ha ha ha .
I know, it bugs some people, but I find this very funny. A Queens and/or Brooklyn thing ? My husband (Brooklyn) would say, after some clever thing he did, “I’m a ( )genius.” OK. I cleaned that up a bit. Or like, a wrestler coming into the ring, acting like he won already. Street.
VSGGEPDJT!!!
please spell it out, I have no idea of VSG~GE 😏
love it.
Next Wednesday, we should all be doing what the girls in high school replied to Meatball when he asked them out on a date.
“Sorry, I will be washing my hair that night. Maybe next time meatball”
I think Trump should do a live Twitter interview with Tucker at the same time.
Tucker maybe, Twitter live, we watched Meatball crater with that move!!
Just say no to Twitter Spaces!!
Nah……Trump should Never grace Twitter/X with his presence ever again. “They” aren’t worthy. Elon’s a “Bad Hambre`”…….with bad intentions for America. If folks haven’t realized that yet……they will soon!
Great idea, with his closest friends. Don Jr. , Gen Flynn, Rudy, Stone etc….
Live Truth Social interview, there fixed it for you 😁
Yeh….this is not looking real good for Rove, etal late pushing for President Trump to show up and debate…
Hillary’s new facial, (farcical) restructuring is iconic and creates perfect memes but that’s all. She is so totally irrelevant in the real world, along with her latest sidekick…the short-haired, skinny one with the long neck and big Adam’s apple…What’s her name?
Anyway…
I’m supporting President Donald John Trump; NO MATTER WHAT!!!!
.
Be nice to MadCow, he’s a handsome young man.
Speaking of Hillary. Just read on Daily Mail, Hurricane Hilary bearing down on CA. I don’t remember in my life time a hurricane hitting Ca…🤔
You have described her sidekick as a Giraffe
Ron’s a late Blooper… I mean late Bloomer..
late Boomer
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!
LOVE!!!!
Great news!
💃💃💃 Happy Dance.
Refusing to be part
of the circus!👏👏
What can I say….
election campaign
was over for me as
soon as President
Trump announced
he was running.💁
Hope he has a rally
that day!
I think he should have an indictment party on the 23rd. Stick it to them all.
Great – thank you for that confirmation, Sundance!
“It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world … but for whales, Ronald?”
Out: The Loser’s Bracket.
In: The Loser’s Racket.
Blah, blah, blah.
Two of these people are not even eligible to even run for office.
They pretend Zero broke the rule so who cares anymore?
I say we run Eric Trump in 2028, let them freak because his mother wasn’t natural born, and we have the argument we should have had in 2008 thwarted by machinations and assassinations.
How better to prove Zero was never eligible, and begin the process of erasing his entire illegal administration?
I am jonesing for a Nullification and Reconciliation Commission, led by PDJT, analyzing every single act and appointment, approving under his authority what he will, erasing the rest, including his nominations, Sotomayer included.
Erase Zero!!
Wish we could erase the division in which he left the country.
It will take a willful restoration and revival.
And perhaps a few nooses as well
Happy News.
Saw this on X/Twitter (not sure if it will happen):
You don’t debate enemies working to destroy you. Let’s finish them off. Plan a rally in the same time slot.
No Trump No Eyeballs. RDS wins either way if Trump shows up, just for the exposure at a minimum.
People will get sick of his bobblehead and non answers, I guess thats winning.
Reminds me of another bobble head…
The insufferable committee to lie to the people to elect. Meatball has the following comments that he should follow.
numero Uno always lie to the people and mislead them.
kiss, butt to those that are trying to elect me, the money-changers and political whores.
betray MAGA and lie like lying teddy boy.
say anything and do anything that will get me elected to the money changers.
That is my pledge to the American people.
not serious and I’m serious candidate only in it for the money meatball.
So, we have the first “who cares” beauty pageant for second place.
LOL!!
It’s what’s on the inside that counts, Mark… and that’s exactly why I will not be tuning in…
I like Sundance’s name for it. The First Loser Debate.
As we know, second place only means you are the FIRST loser.
No one remembers second place. Who came in second in the KY Derby….
Not pretending to be applying for a job he already earned and is rightfully his.
Everyone else supports election fraud and rigged elections.
That’s what makes it so ridiculous. He’s already been elected President of the United States…TWICE. Even better, the polls clearly and consistently show he’s been elected for a third time.
Their agony is glorious to me.
Wait till they try to disqualify Trump from running again because he really did win a second term. It’s the twilight zone.
I love Lauren3ve!
Now, why didn’t I think of that. Smart thinking. So Good. I will always remember that downpour with President Trump being soaked to the
skin. Priceless 🙂
All-time best meme! Perfect song, perfect meaning!
That wouldn’t be bad advice for DeSantis IF he wasn’t such a phony puppet. But then again, if he was authentic he wouldn’t NEED such a list to know what to do.
I wouldn’t call the lies serving as fodder for promotional ads “debates.”
President Trump is correct. We know his positions, WHICH includes not going to war. We have only to look at his previous record as POTUS.
No need to wallow in that political pig pen.
Ok so what he is already done Say good night gracy
Meanwhile….the dogs still don’t like the dogfood even though it has brand new, spiffy packaging.
So Sundance? Was that DeFraud prep material leaked by one of us, who is everywhere, seeing & hearing everything, then melting away before being spotted? I’d like to think it’s MAGA that leaked it.
Or is it the GOPe globalist Big Money donors getting rid of Rob bc he’s a dud, despite the money & propping up they provided?
Strange that it came from the Loser Jeff Roe…who wasn’t an original campaign hire.
Gonna have dismal ratings. They gave away their desperation weeks ago when Rona RNC chair (cooked election), Romney’s niece, tried to pressure Trump to attend to legitimize himself
I don’t want their money, I don’t need their money, and I’m the only one up there that proved it!
What they don’t like about the honorable President Donald J Trump is that he speaks the truth.
“Maybe a prostitute could teach you how to take a compliment ”
From the Tragically Hip’s song “Flamenco “
Perfect. To entertain the idea of a debate is to legitimize the never Trump effort. There is no upside to this. And Trump can choose the venue and moderator to have a town hall of his own. Go on all broad spectrum media. It will crush the losers.
Running on the (R) ticket also does the same thing. We want out of this village. No political party is necessary. The whole thing is a joke and always has been. It’s an illusion. It needs to be restructured from the foundation.
That means a much higher power than all of the people will probably be required.
Ramaswamy can think on his feet. A skill which DeSantis does not possess. Ron will be left whimpering.
Ramaswamy is a huckster. He practices his pitch over and over. He is a snake oil salesman. He knows he is not MAGA but practices to sound like MAGA. Lots of little bells and whistles that sell you what you don’t need.
That makes me happy!!!!!
My Theory: Meatball’s leaked docs showing him being supportive of Trump was a ploy to get Trump to show up.
Then, if Trump did attend, meatball would fire at him with both barrels. The old bait and switch.
💥💥💥💥💯 That’s my VSGPDJT. Make Fulton co pick up the tab for all the overtime. Is he not the best !!!
That would be hilarious.
