Wikipedia is great. Trump and Maga suck. Of course you don’t believe anything there. You don’t believe anything that doesn’t comes from some random guy on Twitter.

Wikipedia also has some random dude create their pages, but they just happen to be far left and push that narrative.

If you say so. A quote from his book is fake now because it was on a non Maga sanctioned web site. Maybe if I put it in an X post you would believe it.

The real question is, what do the Truth Ninja and the News Ape have to say?

If Mori Chu or whatever your or Nodack's pseudo name on twitter is made a good point, would it be ok to post his X/Twitter post?

No! Well... maybe if they added sirens.

I never tweet (xeet), only read. But still, we might make a good point, but it isn't news, and we aren't an authority on anything.

If you speak truth, it doesn't matter if you are considered the authority. What makes an authority the arbiter of truth and the only one that can speak truth or is worthy to be heard? I'm curious, as this is a concept of only those with titles are worthy of any attention, and feels very fuedalistic.

Biden's and Trump's people have been having conversations about having two debates this summer/fall. But they are thinking about doing them outside of the standard debate commission process so that they can set some of their own rules. Weird.

DEBATE: Biden’s debate challenge to Trump came with fine print:

• No live audience
• RFK Jr. is banned
• Trump’s mic is muted when Biden speaks
• Only hosted by NPR, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, or CBS
• Moderated by Democrat-aligned reporter


But, in his defense, Trump did say, "Anytime and anywhere". So I don't blame him for stacking the deck in his favor.

This has to be a rope-a-dope strategy for Trump to come in overconfident.

Donald Trump is such a weirdo. Why does he thank himself in his own tweet? "Thank you, DJT"? I do think that Biden asking to debate Trump is a smell of weakness. Biden knows it could help him to get him and Trump on TV. He thinks he's less old/decrepit than people realize, and he thinks Trump is more diminished than people realize. He could be right, but he likely wouldn't offer to do these debates if he were up by 8 in the polls. Overall I think it's good for them to do debates; I don't like how the candidates have been dodging them lately. Don't like that they are sidestepping the debate commission but oh well.

Boom, right off the bat. The deck was stacked against him!

No live audience works for me. We aren’t there to listen to Trumps cult heckle Biden all night.

This is about Trump and Biden. RFK is just a side show. Let him debate Hailey. He doesn’t poll high enough to qualify anyway.

Trump muted when Biden speaks should definitely be a prerequisite. Trump cannot shut his pie hole long enough to let anyone else talk and won’t stop even when a moderator tries. Cutting his mic is the only answer. Not your turn. Mute button on. Biden and Trump refused to go through the presidential commission. Biden refused because they have always failed at controlling Trumps impulses to talk over everyone all the time. Your time is up. Mute. You’re done talking now.

They call them moderators, not reporters.

Could that be the end of the message and a signature?

This is totally normal? It doesn't favor either side? Interesting takes.
