The First Freedom

Thursday night will be the first presidential debate where a sitting president is muted.

it's also the first time a sitting president has blatantly talked over his opponent and repeatedly ignored requests from the moderator to stfu...*shrugs* - what's the problem here, HR?

Thursday night will be the night prayers are answered.

Freedom of speech" can equal "Freedom to finish your sentence when it's your turn to talk without some loudmouth interrupting".

*can equal... :lol:

Freedom of speech has already been lost.

The question people might want to consider is what kind of government they have.

Thing is, people really dont have the ability to critically think.
They have no idea the meaning of whats been happening to Assange.

The last two are a bit precarious also.

Last time they tried to mute a Republican, the Republican won.

interesting clip Saxi... Is it common practice for presidents to put their holdings in a blind trust to avoid the appearance they are using their office for personal financial benefit? Why didn't trump follow this norm that Romney is talking about?

Is choosing not to do this and then spending four years complaining that the media is being unfair when they uncover your shady dealing all over the globe something we should consider inappropriate?

What does that have to do with Obama rudely interrupting the debate?

by **riskllama** on Wed Oct 21, 2020 2:57 pm

not even close to Trumps' boorish behaviour in the first debate, c'mon now... :roll:

- first debate was basically a new low for 'murican politics, imo.

I agree. Trump outdid Obama at his own game.

by **riskllama** on Wed Oct 21, 2020 3:15 pm

what was "the game", exactly?

Yes, you can play CC with or without pants and without fear of prosecution.

That is all

Sometimes I play without pants on. But it depends on whom I'm playing against.

betiko? Always pants

AoG? depends on my mood

And Biden will also be muted. Considering how many undecideds felt that Trumps constant interruptions were annoying and made him look immature and unpresidential, being muted might actually play to his advantage.

First time in history that America has a president who isn't capable of debating on ideas, and whose only debating strategy is to shout over and drown out his opponent.

You should be ashamed of him. You should be very ashamed of him.
