President Trump announced via Truth Social that both political campaigns had agreed to terms of a presidential debate on September 10th. However, according to Politico – the Harris campaign is saying they did not agree to all the outlined terms.
.
(Via Politico) – […] the Harris campaign rejects the claim that the Sept. 10 debate will have the same rules from June. The issue regarding whether mics will be turned on during the entire debate is still being discussed, a Harris campaign official said.
“Both candidates have publicly made clear their willingness to debate with unmuted mics for the duration of the debate to fully allow for substantive exchanges between the candidates — but it appears Donald Trump is letting his handlers overrule him. Sad,” a Harris campaign official said in a statement to POLITICO.
The rules of the debate have become a point of contention between the two campaigns in recent days, POLITICO reported, over the issue of whether mics should or should not be muted.
The Harris campaign wanted the mics to be hot throughout the ABC debate, which had been the standard in past presidential debates. But Trump’s campaign pushed to keep to the terms he agreed to with Biden in June, despite the former president saying Monday he’d “rather have” microphones on. The CNN debate also had no studio audience, no opening remarks and consisted of two commercial breaks. (read more)
It will be interesting to watch this debate because Kamala Harris has never seemed to be that intellectual.
Harris is like a female version of George Clooney, who -not coincidentally- was groomed along with Barack Obama to be a possible presidential candidate. However, as the story was repeated, eventually the handlers of Clooney had to give up because despite all their efforts he just did not have the intellectual capacity to pull it off.
The word “intellectual” should never be used in the same sentence with “Harris”.
Or Clooney…
“I’m Batman.”

Is there an alternate link, for those of us who are somewhat intellectual and don’t prefer to read GP content?
The NY Times links in that GP post are behind a paywall.
Ok, looks like I can get past the paywall via archive.is
I read articles on the Gateway Pundit. As oilfield trash, I can’t take any offense against your not liking that site, since I have no reason to respect your opinions.
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. You’re witty and smart and down to earth and I’d chat with you over beers any day. I was not very articulate. Just tired of click bait and hyperbole. Sorry.
I have immense respect for your having apologized.
Been there myself…
“Somewhat intellectual”? Give us a break. Surprised you don’t already have an NYT subscription.
I was referring to “intellectual” in the sense SD was, in his article above. NYT is worse than Trash, read mostly by Clooney, Harris, Krugman and their brainless ilk.
Try Daily Mail…

What content?
Obama never debated PDJT. Obama did debate fellow Uniparty Insiders McCain & Romney. Clooney would fare as well or better than Obama in a debate against PDJT. Obama got his butt kicked in the first debate with Romney. McCain was too Uniparty to even challenge let alone attack the Lightbringer Obama in their debates. In other words, I disagree that Obama was any brighter than Clooney. But I’m biased, when I still had a full head of hair, people said I resembled Clooney.
The reindeer games are strong with this one. Lol
She has finally agreed to do an interview…with Dana Bash. Bash could certainly be called one of the reindeer playing games with the US public.
“CNN’s Dana Bash Awarded First Interview With Kamala Harris and Tim Walz”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/cnns-dana-bash-awarded-first-interview-kamala-harris/
“Awarded” is a bit of a stretch… Perhaps “will endure” first interview is more like it.
Dana, who will fawn over her and ask no pointed questions. It won’t even be an interview…just a chat.
This is great. We will finally get to find out what their favorite ice cream flavor is.

Brer patch.
How catty will Que-mala appear when her cackle is all that gets to be heard?
BRING IT ON !
It is another trap. Why does the evil media always get their way?
“Its another trap”.
Agreed. Its another PDJT trap.
” Why does the evil media always get their way?”
Because that’s the way PDJT gets them to fall into his trap. Over and over again.
Death Cult Wile Es versus Road Runner Trump.
Meep. MAGA. Meep.
ABC can give Kamala Harris the debate questions and replies to those questions all they want, but she won’t be able to handle the pressure of a presidential debate.
An empty suit like Kamala Harris will be exposed as the lightweight she truly is when going up against President Trump.
Sundance, if you come to AZ especially seeking out MC and the Clyburn effect, send me an email letting me know when you are coming and I’ll pick you up at the airport, and offer my home for you to stay at, at No charge. I know this state like the back of my hand. I was B&R here. If you need a vehicle, I can help with that as well.
Set him up at Boulders in Scottsdale. No guest room stuff for our guy 😉
lol… I’m trying to save him money.
There’s a message here about being grateful vs egotistical.
It’s hard when we read responses because we can’t always see the other person’s face to know if they’re being serious or just kidding in a sarcastic manner. I consider everyone here a friend so I trust that Greg is giving me that dry humor that I was born and raised with.
I even deserve to be knocked around a little or a slap upside the head from time to time because I consider all us who bless these comment sections to be my extended family.
😁😁
I hope he takes you up on this, VAIO! Blessings!
Me too and thank you for that.
WOW That’s awesome. Some classy people on the Tree.!!
I love the gesture VAIO…. hopefully one day we can all come out from behind our handle and embrace each other… meanwhile we remain focused on the Death Star, aka Langley.
Sun Devil here, class of ’85. Love AZ, loved it more in the early 80s before McStain..
the fake news frames the agreement as President Trump being against hot mics all debate to allow for meaninful back and forth.
what a joke these people are.
The machine is being exposed to us daily. Its hard to see Mid West Democrat voters repeating Kamala is about Border Security (pure proof they repeat whatthe News says).
She must have a lot of adolescent minded people on her team. A bunch of childishness.
They went to the same campaign school as Trudeau’s acolytes
Good Golly Miz Molly!
If it ain’t one thang-
tiz another!🙄
This is hands down the biggest three ring circus of my multiple decades here on Planet Earth.🌎
Yes, I take it seriously, but Baby please! 🙃
Inside out and upside down is the new norm!
🤪😜🤪😜
So true. The past 3 1/2 years have indeed been the biggest political 💩show I have ever seen. I received my Political Science and Philosophy degree in 1991 (for law school). We most definitely didn’t discuss any of these things…especially in Ethics Classes.
It has all just been beyond Goofy…

Mordechai said this to Queen Esther when she had reservations about going to the King to request his protection for her and all Israel.
Perhaps you have been placed here for such a time as this.

“It will be interesting to watch this debate because Kamala Harris has never seemed to be that intellectual.”
Compared to what?
A horse or a dog?
A donkey…an ass!
A rock.
i’ve seen horses and dogs answer math problems more believably than kommie.🤭
Maybe an old, used toothbrush???
Horses and dogs at least have loyalty and common sense. This woman possesses neither of these.
She is the antithesis of intellectual. She is just a ditzy chick that used DEI and sex to get where she is today, which is simply a puppet of the Ds. They couldn’t have picked a more unlikeable candidate. At the very least, Hitlery showed a modicum of professionalism in public,
Speaking of intellectual I’m looking forward to the Vance, Walz debate. Let the creep unravel.
Might be worth watching, if only to see Kamala make a fool of herself and laugh at her.
Despite the Meatball’s continual opining that only he could beat Delusional Joe, President Trump took him out in less than one debate.
I expect the same for Queen Kamala.
She and her candidacy will be so stale and deflated already by then you will see a repeat of the media taking her the rest of the way down after the debate, just like they did with Delusional Joe.
Get yer popcorn and drinks ready.
I’m ibreathlessly awaiting the Harris-Walz TAPED interview with CNN this Thurs….NOT. All they’ve got is hammering Trump or stealing his policies. Interesting that she needs Walz beside her as she’s interviewed for the 1st time since her coronation when FJB got couped.
Is Walz there as Kamala’s service dog?
Sorry, but that should be reversed – she provides his service.
Trump’s living in her head. He’s running his own psy op on her by dragging this out. She looks like so scared and small.
But with a huge mouth!
A white russian sounds appropriate?
Even if it does take place, nope, not watching. I need to protect my precious brain cells.
Trump, dispense with the debates and let Harris/Walz run on the $10 Taco Joy platform. Why fight it….
They will never shackle that annoying cackle! This ought a’ be good!
I got a feeling she won’t be cackling. She can be a real bitch.
Especially when cornered.
Exactly.watch her debate with Pence and the fake Palestinian protester a few week ago.
Perhaps President Trump , when asked a question, just stand there and let her word salad her way out of existence.
Yes! And when she is finished with the salad, President Trump should respond as he did with Biden and say “I have no idea what she just said.” Then launch into his statement.
The look on President Trump’s face while Biden was spewing his gibberish was priceless! Would love to see it again with Fakamala, the fraud!
Exactly, Max!
I know I’m late to the party (and a bit slow on the uptake) but it finally occurred to me what that hydrogen peroxide spill signifies with Miss Gabbard. The independent streak.
I hope President Trump told her “….yes, let’s be independent together…”!
I do hope President Trump turns any questions on the border, inflation, etc back to Comala. “Why are you asking me, she’s still in a position to do something about”.
“I’ve already denied anything to do with project 2025, next question!”
That’s what I’d like to see and hear.
Absolutely! that would be the perfect reply!
He should invite all her old lovers, just like inviting Bill’s old victims of sexual assault.
Trump should tell Harris she can bring notes if he can bring tulsi gabbard.
Pantsuit Kamaaaaaaala will bring Timmy
Don you don’t need this. Let her wallow in her own s–t. Why walk into such a horrible setup. She will score on you cause she has all the refs. They are prepping you tell them to phkoffff. Too much riding on all this to go into the brier patch.
kamala speaking…..trump interrupt’s……’mr. trump, i am speaking..” trump….’then why did we leave the mic’s hot? oh yea, so you could do this…. hahahaha…’.
Why should she even debate if she knows that the fix is in for her to win.
She needs that adoration. I hope she brings up getting bussed again as a little girl.
He should then reply, Is that when you moved to Canada, for how many years?
She wants the hot mic so she can do her “Im speaking” act. She believes it makes her look strong. She wants the cheat sheets because you can be certain questions would have fed to her campaign by the network hosting the debate and shes too lazy and stupid to learn the answers.
Im betting the hot mic is at least left on “accidently” to which the network will apologise for if theres blowback. Of course no consequences.
Regardless…..shes an awful speaker, nasally and shrill and shes a dullard. Trump will eat her alive. All he needs to do is let her speak, her limited of policies are destructive and nail her on all her flip flops (if shes even aware of them….my guess is staffers are publishing them in whack a mole fashion without her knowledge).
You have nailed it and it is worth repeating: “shes an awful speaker, nasally and shrill and shes a dullard. Trump will eat her alive. All he needs to do is let her speak, her limited of policies are destructive and nail her on all her flip flops (if shes even aware of them….my guess is staffers are publishing them in whack a mole fashion without her knowledge).”
If she pulls the “I’m speaking” nonsense, he should reply, “I know. And somehow I’m hungry for a salad..”. 🤣
He should pull a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch out of his inside breast pocket, and just set it on the podium.
If she does her condescending “I’m speaking” act,
President Trump should say “and yet saying nothing.”
This guy is great…how to handle insults

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t it the Biden people who demanded that the mics be off between questions?
They’re trying to take their original demand and make it out like it was Trump’s and then belittle him for it.
I think they’re looking for an excuse to avoid the debate.
I think he should go to the first one too, even though she’s not coming, and point out her empty lectern. She’s afraid of unscripted questions.
President Trump can present his points.
That is brilliant!
Perfect!
Understood. Democrats like to change rules right up to the last minute, thus her campaign wishy-washes. Sad.
Funny how they have been claiming for some time now that this debate was already a done deal. Yes, it was, with Joe.
And now they are claiming the done deal rules should be changed but it is President Trump’s fault (always)?
SAD.
Kamala is too scared of Trump to do a debate. This is just more rope a dope, until Kamala runs away.
at the last debate they let their guy burn cause they wanted to make it all over for old Joe. This one won’t be like that. Prepped questions and answers..except for Trump and the refs will make all the calls. Why would you let her look good in such a setup. She only has to survive to be the winner. Come on RNC don’t be pushed around by radicals.
In what Universe would she “look good”?
Not possible IMHO.
Part of PDJT will be living in her head from now until after the debate. It will be empty and lonely in there….
trump will win the debate.
calling it now.
You take the easy ones. Hahaha
But the left will declare Harris the winner no matter what happens.
Who the hell is and has been running the country besides Candidate Zero and burned brain? What can’t anyone ask?
This entire ABC debate scam is shaping up to be an “I’m speaking, cacklefest”. She’s so pathetic no amount of help from the totally one-sided hacks at ABC will make much difference.
Yes. The stenographers have the headlines ready already, “Trump can’t handle strong women!” 😠
This will be fun.
Donald Trump has handlers? Who knew?
Kammala’s preparing all this week for the canned CNN interview Thursday night, and she needs Tim walz to hold her hand. September 10th is going to be glorious.
You can inject Crooked Joe with meds to make him alert. You cannot inject intellect to a dumb person. Look out for the extreme set up by ABC or Kamala dropping out of the debate on some BS! Trump is making them go on defense by making this announcement. My sense is he knows there won’t be a debate.
Kamala never put her money where her mouth was, she did however put her mouth where the money was.
She needs her notes, her brain is mush from all the years of smoking weed and drinking alcohol. Maybe this is a way to sabotage her too.
He would be foolish to leave the Mike on. She is a master of snoot saying “I’m speaking now” …
Do they have a double for harris?
(…) George Clooney, who -not coincidentally- was groomed along with Barack Obama to be a possible presidential candidate.
Groomed along? Sure, 2004 or 2008…Clooney for the win. Same coalition, huh?
Oh FFS!!!
Not only is she a moron, she’s a gutless moron.
well, they are going to “set him up” stupid tricks by stupid criminals.
Besides. this debate will not happen. Harris will have covid or something
When she interrupts PDJT, he should say, “I’m speaking now.” And if she ends up saying that back to him later in the debate, he should look into the camera and say that she copies him on everything.
Haha!! That would work!
2 things:
1. I’ll be surprised if Kamala debates Trump. And I did opine on these threads previously that I thought she would back out.
2. TY for pointing out the GROOMING of Obama and Clooney.
The important part of this observation has absolutely nothing to do with Clooney per se. It is the observation that Obama WAS GROOMED!
And if Obama was ‘groomed,’ that means he was an IC recruited, vetted and installed IC asset from before anyone knew his name.
And because of that reality, right there, that means that Obama has NEVER BEEN IN CHARGE of anything he has done.
So for those who keep believing, promoting, deflecting, pretending and BSing in general that Obama was the origin and responsible and ultimately still in control of everything then and ESPECIALLY NOW, WAKE UP AND QUIT PRETENDING!!
It’s puppets all the way down.
I have an idea ! And I think it’s a great idea, even if no one else does. Even if I am disappeared for having it.
If Trump can’t get Harris to the debate stage, maybe he could come over here, get an ID, and then debate others in the comments about whether RFK Jr., Enon Musk, JD Vance, Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabard (did I leave anyone out?) are assets to his campaign or terrible bad people who are just waiting to sabotage him..
Even better, he would not identify himself as Donald Trump until later.
It would be very interesting to say the least.
I think they are horrible people wanting to sabotage Trump, especially RFK Jr, IMO he’s trying to edge out JD. Watch your back Jack.
I can’t listen to Bobby speak, after a few minutes I’m gasping for air.
Love the way the MSM twists things around. Trumps full statement on Monday …
“We agreed to the same rules. I don’t know. It doesn’t matter to me. I’d rather have it probably on, but the agreement was that it would be the same as it was last time. In that case, it was muted. I didn’t like it the last time, but it worked out fine.”
“I mean, ask Biden how it worked out. It was fine, and I think it should be the same. We agreed to the same rules, same rules, and same specifications, and I think that’s probably what it should be, but they’re trying to change it. The truth is they’re trying to get out of it because she doesn’t want to debate. She’s not a good debater. She’s not a smart person. She doesn’t want to debate.”
President Trump’s
“handlers” ?? ??? 🙄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 😹
