Well they vetted JD Vance so... maybe they should keep on truckin?
I encourage them to keep that truck on that path. It may appear to be swerving like it's being driven by a duck on heroin, but that's just a cunning strategy, I'm sure.
Does the machine spin like a laundry agitator?
Oil? ..... I think the liquid they are covered in came from a golden shower.
Trickle down in a nutshell.
They spent all of the money on lawyers to defend his crimes.

Nevertheless, the Trump campaign’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Caller Friday that Trump will be doing three debates and Vance will be doing two.
I'd have sympathy for the people having to deal with trump's bullshit working for his campaign, but they're working for trump. Fully deserved.
Wait, hold up, why is Vance doing two?
I think they are getting riled by the "Trump/Vance are cowards" argument and this is there pathetic attempt to counter it: "Nuh uh, we actually wanted more debates!"
These people are such weird losers.
Not quite an answer, but:
Vance, confusingly, proposed two vice presidential debates as opposed to the traditional one. One of his proposed dates is the same day Trump is due to be sentenced for his hush-money trial.

No, that’s not what they said. They said Trump’s publicist told Daily Caller he’d be doing two.
Based on history, there is no way to predict reality from that statement.
He's trying to pull a power move by not just simply accepting the invitation to the one debate. They feel like they need to one-up the offer by offering ANOTHER debate, on their terms this time!! It's childish

I'm pissed that we're trapped with Trump for three fucking election cycles.
It's like one of those shits where you keep wiping and it just doesn't go away

I've been trapped with Trump since the fucking '80s. For young people today, it would be the equivalent of 40 years of Logan Paul, with him being President at the end of it.
It was funny when he complained that his campaign wasn't doing well here in New York City where he's from. Dude, we've been over your shit since before the TV shows when you were just another one of the scummy rich landlords none of us have ever liked.
Three so far!
Hopefully they come out with an anti aging vaccine and that mother fucker refuses to take it and we don't have to see him ever again. Who am I kidding, he would be the first in line.

three debates—two presidential and a vice presidential debate.
Trump will be doing three debates and Vance will be doing two.
One of the VP debates is between Vance and Trump
Whiny little bitch.
This campaign has shown just how much of a little bitch that he is. Every time you turn around it's another example of him just whining like an entitled child instead of doing something about it like an adult. I know there's cognitive dissonance, but damn, it must be working overtime in a lot of Trump supporters.
Congratulations on an absolutely outstanding image
World's smallest cello
Trump mentioned the award after he was introduced by one of his top patrons, Miriam Adelson, a heavy-handed Republican donor who became the richest Israeli in the world after her husband, billionaire Sheldon Adelson, died in 2021. The couple earned Trump’s favor after they funneled $25 million to Trump’s super PACs in 2016 and donated $5 million to his inauguration. That earned them a spot on the dais, just a few rows behind Jared Kushner, as Trump was sworn in. In 2018, their contributions effectively bought Mrs. Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and in 2019 influenced Trump to recognize Israel’s sovereignty in Golan Heights, an Israeli-occupied portion of southwest Syria that the religious state captured in 1967.
Four years later, the Adelsons eclipsed their previous spending on the pro-Israel politico with a $90 million donation, and gave $300 million to Republican-focused Senate and congressional Leadership Funds, outspending the next three donors combined, according to Intelligencer.
Now I finally have info about who this lady is, after seeing a number of headlines about the comments. She's some shithead Israeli right-wing billionaire asshole. Fucking piece of shit. No surprise there.
When I see stuff like this all I can think is how crazy it is we'll look at "third world nations" and call them corrupt when we have stuff like this going on. This is just bribery but under a different name and with rules to only let the wealthy do it.
If you watch Veep, Sheldon Adelson was the “inspiration” for Sherman Tanz (read: is 100% a direct parody of).
Actually, it's worse for Harris. Debating against someone with marshmallows in the mouth is a nightmare.
It only sounded like he had marshmallows in his mouth because ~~Twitt~~ I mean X has shitty enough tech that they couldn't support things. /s
Also, you're 100% right. Debating against someone like Trump is hard because the will spit out lies faster than you can debunk them.

Cry, bitch!
Ah, gaslighting himself now. Gotta love it
motherfucker YOU WANTED THESE DEBATES IN THE FIRST PLACE
Against Biden, sure. Trump's scared of seeming less intelligent than a black woman on a public stage. He'll find excuses to never debate Harris.
Why does Harris even bother? Just do the one debate in September and be done with it, since the venue and format was already agreed on. Anything else, Trump is going to move to FOX and have it rigged. And it will just be Trump soundbites (more so that it already is.)
I really hope he doesn’t show up on Sep 10. Then Harris can have all the tv time for herself. And then she can refuse to do any other debates, simply stating Trump is unreliable and doesn’t show up therefore she won’t waste time scheduling any more.
I hear he is feeling more targeted these days ;)
I 'ear the same thing!
lol cry more
I didn't know there was more than one agreed-upon debate. Fox is kind of a non-starter, but I only knew about one other, and I've been trying to keep up!
