First, some have speculated the timing of the first 2024 presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is so early in the election year, prior to any party convention, because Biden is anticipated to be replaced. This is considerable supposition, but the date of the debate is indeed very odd.
Secondly, without a doubt the headlines leading into the debate have been seeded with talking points friendly to the Biden position on economics, immigration, inflation and foreign policy (Ukraine). From economists publicizing letters to government agencies promoting lowered inflation, the talking points for Biden have been well scripted and practiced.
Third, CNN the exclusive media outlet for the debate, is notorious for structuring political attacks against President Trump. Biden has been in dress rehearsals and training for the optics and soundbites for several weeks. Knowing CNN gave prior debate questions to Hillary Clinton in advance during the 2016 primary, we can anticipate CNN working hand in glove with the Biden campaign. They don’t even try to hide this stuff any longer.
That said, if you are watching the debate tonight, consider this an open discussion thread. I will embed the livestream links below that should work despite CNN being extremely aggressive with the proprietary broadcast controls.

I honestly have no interest in watching. I don’t want to give CNN ratings, and I don’t feel like listening to sleepy lie for 2 straight hours. He’s like a used car salesman…his lips are moving, he’s lying.
Neither will I watch because I cannot stand the lying devious swines on CNN or SloJoe who no doubt will be juiced up and jump started.
I just hope Pres Trump lets Biden speak. a lot.
Also CNN have decided to mute the mikes and watch them do this often to Pres Trump
Same here. I just don’t care.
I care but I can’t stand injustice. It enrages me, and I’m sure the unfairness and injustice of the staging of this debate will off the charts. It would be too upsetting to watch.
I’m not interested in watching, but I hope to hell when they start talking about Ukraine, Trump looks dead at the camera and says “They’re coming for you. They passed automatic selective service. They’re going to draft you too, ladies. If you don’t want to go to war, vote for me.”
Or something to that effect.
Mute button time.
He should still say it. So tired of people not speaking up because they’re worried someone’s going to silence them. That’s what got us into this mess.
I’m with you Rho. Mute every time JoeBAMA speaks for his fearless leader and minions.
I wouldn’t watch but I want to support President Trump and keep him company.
I think I will watch Golden Girls reruns. Or maybe clean my drains.

Giving CNN ratings for one night doesn’t give them much, but it does give Trump yet another talking point.
.
Not planning to watch it on Commey NN
Thank you for posting this. It was the first post I saw here at CTH and was exactly what I was thinking. I don’t even know what Joe Biden is doing up there, completely fraudulent POTUS and therefore fraudulent debate. I don’t want to give CNN even a penny and my watching would confer legitimacy to the whole circus. Will vote again as I did in 2020 and support DJT unflaggingly and see if there is any integrity left in the system.
My eyes re not equipped to look at that demon. I firmly believe President Trump knows what he is up against. I will not waste my time on CheNN and its demonic stooge.
I tried watching. I had CNN’s Youtube pre-debate coverage on.
I turned it off less than 2 minutes in because of blatant bias and lies.
Cutting The Cord in 2005 I did not know cnn was a thing anymore….amazing.
I don’t recall the last time I tried watching it. 15+ years at least.
I turned it on specifically for the debate, but turned it off long before it ever started.
I hear you, the outcome will have no impact on me, I just returned from grocery shopping.
There are a lot of simulcasts though if anyone does not want to watch Fake Tapper on the Communist News Network.
I hear you but it’s worth one trump zinger.
It’s being simulcast so Newsmax and Real America’s Voice are carrying it.
Hubby says he may make me watch in another room. 😂
President Trump’s Truth – he posted this today
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/112689786167440697
Trump needs to open with that last paragraph.
Trump doesn’t have to answer any of Beaver teeth’s questions, the left never does.
Aside from CO2 being a non-issue in the grand scheme of things, those are accurate statements.
If he can keep the discussion on how growing the economy domestically is better for the environment overall he will do well.
People who are not destitute and struggling to survive tend to be better stewards of their lands.
Leaked video from CNN studio for Presidential Debate..
The Best – captures Our Man perfectly!
I love this one. 🙂
Brilliant!
too funny!
So the White House press is confined across the street in case there is a medical emergency?
There may be a 1 to 2 minute delay ( to edit?)
No live audience,
Mutable mikes,
hostile moderators?
It reminds me of Daniel in the lions den except
It’s Our Lion!!!!
and he’s hungry
Pray
Don’t have good feelings about it. The Dems and CNN are always up to no good.
We need to take notes and tweet them! Or Truth them, whichever.
Also, it IS Atlanta.
I love my state, but I detest Atlanta.
We are not blue… but the traitorous Governor and SoS have sold us out. I’d love to be wrong🫤.
They are not going to let the real president talk. Prepare to get angry. Not sure I am going to watch.
Agreed….what’s the point? I’ll likely watch Sopranos reruns. ‘ Nothing like Paulie Walnuts one liners to cheer me up….
My husband wants to watch it, guess he wants to try out his new blood pressure meds. I’ll have on my head phones listening to an audio book.
I’m with you sister.
I’m definitely not watching for most of the reasons outlined here BUT the main reason I won’t watch is
because it’s not a Presidential debate. Only one person on stage is the true President of the United States.
The other thing tethered to its podium so it won’t fall down (unless they’re sitting now) was and never will be
an elected President.
“wasn’t”
Will Tapper call DJT “Mr. Trump” or “President Trump”?
It’s always been the case that the news media address a former POTUS as “Mr. President.”

Preview of tonight’s debate. Satire.

Ayup. Sounds about right.
That was very funny. Probably because it is only partly exaggerated
Truth social:

I read the partial removal of Merchan’s gag order is to set a trap.
They will ask questions hoping he’ll violate the gag still in place.
I’m going to spend the 90 minutes praying for his protection.
I can see the highlights on the internet tomorrow.
It wouldn’t surprise me if President Trump was arrested on television
for violating the gag order
My thoughts exactly.
Now THAT is a good use of your time! Thank you!
They might try to pull something that stupid, but can they risk how President Trump might respond?
“Well, I would like to respond to that question, particularly during a Presidential debate, but my opponent has targeted me using his Justice Department and I am under a gag order. Unlike my opponent and his family, I believe in the rule of law and will respect that order.”
Will be watching the Yankees play the Blue Jays tonight and watch the debate highlights tomorrow on social media.
That game is over.
The game is still on as of this post. Top of the eighth. Yankees losing 9-2.
Right from the get-go. President Trump’s first comment/question to Joe Biden, to throw him off his game immediately should be “Is it true Joe, you used to take regular showers with your young teenage daughter?” Joe will flip out and be taken off his game for the rest of the debate. Jake and Dana will flip out, but the TV audience will love it!
with the delay they will cut of both mics
I get a delay of 30-60 seconds during Trump Rallies courtesy of Comcast alone…
Before the Donna Brazile leak to the Hillary camp in 2016, who can forget Candace Crowley in the 2012 Romney/Obama debate “just happened” to have some prior Obama interview transcripts in hand for a line of surprise attack questioning on Romney whereby Obama just happened to know Crowley was holding them when he told her to read them on what he actually said in the interview. I’m sure its safe to assume CNN has been assisting Democrat candidates in this matter long before this.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.
My prayers are with you Mr. President Trump as you ride into the jaws of Death.
As far as I’m concerned there is no debate. For those who have learned to cut through the noisy BS, see with clear eyes, and remained steadfast in the truth, there is only one reasonable outcome.
TRUMP 2024
Why would Trump agree to these rules? This is a staged event.
.
President Trump repeatly said that he would debate Biden any time, anywhere. When Trump says that he will do something, he does it.
.
OTOH, why not?
Haven’t the past 8 years been a constant stream of “staged events” and lies when it comes to Trump anyway?
Not like they’re suddenly gonna find a conscience and be truthful or fair.
I do think he should have demanded a Mike Off function for the Moderators, tho.
It’s not like he doesn’t have a truckload of evidence as to why that’s needed.
I’m sure you are just kidding with your question, but if President Trump didn’t agree to these ridiculous debate conditions the optics would have furthered played into the demonic lefts diabolical plans to smear Trump as afraid of biden. The one thing that truly is amazing is Trump always plays the hand that is dealt. Like him or not he isn’t afraid to take on these jokers. Glen Beck gave some sound advice saying Trump shouldn’t debate CNN and biden, but talk to the American people about what has been going on these last three years of this oppressive administration of Obama’s third term and where we are right now. But many people have already said that it’s very doubtful many will change their minds at this stage in the game on who they support. Trump supporters want a strong America, biden supporters want abortion on demand, mutilated children, sexualized children, human trafficking underaged children to enslave in sex trafficking, and no accountability for these depraved behaviors.
He is giving remarks in VA tomorrow…so he has an opportunity to right the ship and set her back on course….

I kinda hope DJT and bi-dumb tie in this premature debate bc my theory is that the dummycrats may suspect bidumb has a chance to win in a rematch against DJT in the upcoming presidential election. And bc of this error in thinking, the dems may be reluctant to replace him with an actual competent candidate that could influence some to vote for the dems, but only if Biden is replaced- so I hope they don’t replace him bc I don’t think or feel bidumb has a chance in 2024 against Trump – given there’s no funky-business or “irregularities” with voting and counting.
Is it obvious to anyone else that corrupt judge Merchan lifting part of the gag order was so that CNN could ask a question about the conviction that Trump could actually answer?
The Intel channel is “hosting” the debate and allowing almost no in-studio observers.
Two people for each side?Really?
Any CNN staffer who is in attendance is pro the Uniparty candidate.
This leaves our guy 🦁👑with two versus how many in actuality for potato 🥔?
😡
I’m looking forward to watching a bit of it, mainly to see PDJT solve the 1 vs 3 stack he will have to deal with.
An increasing majority can see the manifest unfairness in the system stacked against PDJT and the rest of us.
Me too.
Gov. Newsom disposing of Joe Biden carcass?
All Newsome needs now is the moderators to help Joe look as bad as possible. Could be a set up?
Not watching.
Personally, I think it is going to be very entertaining.
Interesting times.
What is to stop people from recording the Fake Debate with their cell phones (point the cell phone at the TV screen) and spreading the debate outside the confines of CNN? Did Musk say that he would remove postings from the little people on X?
No live audience. All the press in a different building across the street. Nobody in the studio but the two candidates and all the CNN “cheapfake” artists.
It’s a trap President Trump. There’s more publicity by just skipping the debate 5 mins. before the start and less chance that they trap you in some way.
When Trump is asked about his claims the 2020 election was stolen, I would like for him to remark that if the situation was reversed, if Joe had been leading in 5 states that suddenly shut down counting and then when resumed Trump was ahead, if he had won the precincts that had more votes than registered voters; if states where his party was in power and allowed for mail in voting in violation of the state law, and he won those states, that Trump would expect Biden to challenge the election and, if he didn’t, then he was not looking out for the American people because it was their votes being stolen. And then remind them that Joe still says 2016 was stolen from HRC.
They will bring it up, they want to goad him with it.
President Trump should point out that 1) all the news agencies repetition of “without any evidence” is wearing thin, given there is an ever increasing amount of evidence, and 2) if this Tegime had been legitimately elected they would welcome inquiries rather than being hysterical about shutting down any and all investigations.
Seriously, I sometimes wonder whether they realize how stupid their little mantra sounds.
I’ve shut down my politics for a year.
And now I’m firing it back up.
love me some PDJT killing a zombie with a tire iron.
i sort of did that.
For those who will be watching the debate, this 20 minute George Gammon/Rebel Capitalist video put out today just may be something viewers of the debate might want to be aware of – in case the economy comes up.
Titled “Sharing Results for the Big Banks “Stress Test” – he compares the results of the Federal Reserves bank stress test that was put out yesterday with a very contrary report released today by Jamie Dimond.
The difference between the two, the reports and what the head of JP Morgan sees is just short of stunning; the video author wonders if Mr. Dimond is covering JP Morgan’s behind for when stuff hits the fan and people want to know why no one warned them!
Personally want to be around when the Nobel prize committee asks for those 17 Nobel-winning economists to return their medals.
Imagine if PDJT was the one that requested no audience and depends changing breaks.
Mr. 45 & 47. Here’s to you. +300 EV.
Why have they cleared the room and are allowing no witnesses “spectators”. Praying for our leader President Trump-God place a host of protective guardian angels around that man. The enemy will stop at nothing.
I plan on NOT watching it; no need to get my blood pressure up LOL
I do plan on reading the comments here to gain a little insight to what
is happening.
That’s my plan, too. I’m going to follow it through the comments here.
Bingo drinking game: Ukraine, Economy, Felony, Border, Jobs, Abortion, Censorship, Drilling, Tariffs, Climate, Israel, ….
See my post earlier in the thread….
I won’t be watching. I quit watching debates after Bush v. Gore. I saw Bush just tear Gore up only to have the networks tell me afterward I didn’t see what I saw and that Gore won. I realized then that it doesn’t matter what happens, the spinmeisters are still going to tell you that you need to believe them and not your lying eyes.
I’m voting for President Trump. Nothing short of the Angel Gabriel coming to me and telling me to do differently is going to change that. So why waste the time?
Was reported that team Biden will be running attack campaign ads during commercial breaks.
I’m not subjecting myself to this, but look what Trump is doing – gotta love it!

I hope for a thread……
Trop mort pour ca, desole. 😢
Please rest Dear Marquis, praying for you, in Jesus name.
Please take care. Maquis! We will wait for you!
Mon cher Maquis! S’il vous plaît, portez-vous 🥺
I support Trump 💯. Therefore I will be watching this maleficence whether I like it or not.
I give the president much credit for even going through with this. The Book of Proverbs has much to say about arguing with fools (people who lack wisdom), and if Joe doesn’t qualify then no one does. On top of that, the Usurper’s team is so unsure of his prospects, that they heaped every advantage of venue and moderation (it’ll be a two-on-one, after all) on top of the debate request in the hopes that Trump would balk so they could use that as a cheap campaign point – “He’s afraid to debate!”
I don’t care what they pump Joe with to make him semi-coherent for this evening, the cat’s out of the bag – the emperor has no clothes, and half the time he’s not lucid enough to realize that he’s naked. If you have to so stack the deck for your guy, and pump him full of drugs just to have him “fit” to even show up for the debate, then what you’re signalling is that you have no confidence in your puppet and you’ll either replace him, or kill yourself trying for the steal in November.
But trying to get a bead on which path is likely is not enough for me to tune in to CNN. I’d rather get a root canal. I’ll wait until afterward, watch the clips from reputable venues and read the commentary. Frankly, one could go down to the local barbershop, listen to patron gossip about what happened, and get more trustworthy feedback than one is likely to get watching CNN and its band of merry partisans.
J
I’m going to watch grass grow
They will give Dementia Joe easy questions and different questions and not allow a rebuttal.
It POTUS Trump is muted vociferously by CNN, it would hilarious for Trump to walk over to Biden’s podium and ask Joe for his microphone or just stand there waiting for CNN to behave…..
The pre-debate jibber jabber by cnn and now is such bs
Wow, really surprised at the number of people here saying they won’t watch. How could you miss this? I’m going old school and sitting by the radio in my recliner.
So, until 9:00, this is the “Trump should say …” thread.
