    If your Network had to pay $787.5 million to settle claims for lying to your audience, you don't get to host a debate EVER!
  • @spir5102
    During the Dominion lawsuits, the court said that Fox News is recognized not as news, but as entertainment. They do not deserve to host a debate.
  • I wonder if praising Putin at the Atlanta rally, along with berating the Governor will make a difference to his fans.
  • @joerogain5025
    Dear Republican MAGA's, please remember voting is woke and that voting early and by mail is extremely woke.
  • @dianakidd4219
    That’s a lie. He said he wants to debate her on September 4th. Kamala has remained silent
  • Trump lost the election when he called America’s Veterans “suckers and losers “
  • @J.P.C.-ut
    "This is America's 911 Emergency Service...can I help you?" 'There's a guy trying to break into the White House. He's acting really strange, weird, and irrational, and he's carrying what looks like nuclear weapons. Could you send the law over here to take care of him?' "We're sorry, man...but what he's doing is legal. We really don't have the manpower to handle it, but I see we have a female officer available, so just keep your distance from the guy until she gets there."
  • @blipmachine
    I like presidential candidates who don’t chicken out of debates.
  • @theowl3756
    People from outside the U.S. are laughing at us for arguing that if a candidate is more Black or Indian !!! and arguing that a person who incited the crowd to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, and set up Gallows to hang his own vice president, is still qualified to run for office...!!!...LOL
  • @RSEFX
    I think it would be funny for Kamala to say something like, "we won't stoop so low to start calling names. Like, I refuse to refer to Trump as FAT ELVIS. Yes, I think it would be in bad taste to call him FAT ELVIS. So, no, I won't be ever calling him FAT ELVIS, because, for one thing, it's kind of an insult to Elvis, sho, if he was overweight, was at least very talented." Just an idea. Trump does this sort of thing all the time, ie saying he won't use an insulting name by actually using the insulting nickname to say he won't say it.
  • The Fly on Pence head showed how full of crap He and Trumpy were
  • @joerogain5025
    Why did the bone spur chicken cross the road? So he didn't have to debate Kamala Harris.
  • @pisces363
    I hope she shows up at the scheduled debate venue with the moderators there asking the questions they planned on asking. Then, show the podium without him there when it’s his turn to reply.
  • @kw99190
    Hey Ari, one of your people said that the agreement was to debate the democratic candidate on ABC, not Biden in particular. If so, then Trump is backing out of something he had agreed to.
  • Kamala Harris Sat on her terrace Watching the NABJ. Trump opened his mouth Things quickly went south She laughed as he waddled away!
  • According to someone close to the Harris campaign, the contract /agreement didn’t have a specific name . It just states candidates. Just a rejoinder.
  • Foreigner here. Sadly, I have learned never to underestimate the ignorance and venality of Americans. Oh, we have our own share of that out in the world to be sure, but you guys have managed to concentrate it and call it virtue.
  • Trump is a walking old boring disaster that they had to pull him off the stage!!
