Original Article

There’s no one else quite like Donald Trump. What other candidate in American history would start polling his audience, live, as Trump did this weekend in Philadelphia, on what his debate strategy against President Biden should be? “How should I handle him? Should I be tough and nasty?” Trump said, then took on a comically tough-guy voice. “Should I be tough and nasty and just say ‘you’re the worst president in history’?” The crowd roared. “Or should I be nice and calm . . .” Boos rained down. “. . . and let him speak?” Let no one accuse The Post of taking Trump literally but not figuratively. We know it was a bit.

Comments:

Some excellent tips.

A little off topic but earlier today my husband and I were talking about how the 'rats and corrupt media will try and cheat during the debate. We wondered if since last week Biden's handlers have been changing his 'internal clock'. Making him stay up a little bit later every night, past his usual bedtime, and letting him sleep in later. This way when the debate starts at 9pm Eastern time it will seem like it's more 10 or 11am for Biden. People with senility usually don't do well starting in late afternoon and evening, it's called Sundowners syndrome.

No doubt, Joetato will play the " you're a convicted felon" card. Trump's response should be, "you're right Joe, but at least I was competent enough to stand trial."

I think Trump should let compost bin do most of the talking. The gibberish, word slurring, and the "moderators" trying to cover for him would be priceless.

If they bring up the "Hush Money Case" PLEASE remind the world that Congress has spent 17 MILLION to pay off extortion cases since Clinton was in office. It is in the BUDGET. Even CNN wrote abt it. So Trump paid with HIS OWN money to avoid embarrassment for his family and should spend decades in jail but Congress spends OUR TAX DOLLARS and THAT is OK? https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/16/politics/settlements-congress-sexual-harassment/index.html

i think DJT should ignore/hijack very first question, turn to JoeyBoy and ask him eye to eye if he intends to lie to the American people like he did in the debates of 2020, denying that Hunter's laptop was his - just the first of many lies to follow, then enumerate them- that the border is secure that inflation was transitory that he would unite us as a moderate etc i imagine that will set the Dementiac back on his heels. the point being what an incorrigible liar he is - and always will be

The article makes a good point. Make biden defend open borders and importing crime, human trafficking and drugs. War on fossil fuels. 16% inflation. Creeping toward WWIII with Zero accountability of monies sent to Ukraine. "The world is questioning whether the POTUS has diminished capacity. It is a sad state of affairs that such a question must even be pondered. But I can tell you this: his policies are certainly demented..." Make it aaaaalll about the policies so that Biden will look like a fool defending them. Then weld those policies and the pain they're giving us to whoever dems get to replace Biden.

Mr. President, when the abortion topic comes up, ask biden the cheater this important question - "Joe Biden, are you grateful that your mother did not abort you?" The cheater's answer would be most revealing.

Stick to three things. Promise the people that you will - Protect them from crime -Protect their money from inflation -Protect their children from perversion. Ignore Biden except to use your time to point out deliberate falsehoods being allowed to go unchallenged. Let the demented idiot prove his own senility and incompetence. And he will.

Good comments. I think not having an audience can play to Trump's benefit. When speaking to a crowd, he always goes off-script to please the base, even though it turns off many. For me, he's best one-on-one (even with Hannity, who's a lousy interviewer). In my dreams, I see Joe Rogan inviting both for individual three-hour interviews. (Trump could return for the 2:45 left of Biden's time.)

Trump will not be allowed to make the best comments he needs to make. These "Hosts" (I think parasites) will interrupt him and cut him off at every point he makes. "We have to move on" and "That is off topic and we can't allow you to go on" will be the mode during this "debate".

As Trump stated during his first term, "I don't need any stinking advisors" or words to that effect. He knows exactly what he is doing as evidenced by his highly successful four-year performance. He will take Biden to the cleaners and have a crease put in his head.

The cheating has already been done. The candidates will NOT be starting on a level playing field. Having the debate questions in advance is worth their weight in gold to Joe. There's no reason he WOULDN'T want them and for sure there's no reason his operatives wouldn't do whatever it takes to get them.

When Biden pops off with the old leftist Democrat talking point that he will make billionaires pay their “fair share” in taxes, Trump should ask Biden what is a billionaire’s “fair share”?

Courts block Biden from canceling any

President Biden’s latest student loan bailout was blocked Monday by federal judges in Kansas and Missouri following a lawsuit from several Republican-led states. The nationwide preliminary injunctions issued by US District Judges Daniel Crabtree in Kansas and John Ross in Missouri – both appointees of former President Barack Obama – prevent the Biden administration from canceling any more federal student debt for borrowers enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan. The 81-year-old president’s Education Department will also be barred from implementing new SAVE plan provisions while the litigation plays out. The judges did not call for debt relief already handed out to be clawed back.

The so-called “conspiracy theorists” have put together an impressive winning streak and they’ve once again been proven right, this time about illegal aliens voting in the 2024 election. Republicans are very concerned about the impact of President Joe Biden’s “newcomers” on the upcoming election, the most critical in the nation’s history, and House Republicans have introduced an “election integrity” bill to require that proof of citizenship be required to register to vote. But despite denials and ridicule over GOP concerns that illegal aliens could vote, the truth is that nearly every state provides voter registration forms to non-citizens without proof of citizenship, according to the New York Post.

Despite being reportedly worth upwards of $10 million, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have refinanced their Delaware home multiple times over the last few years. The constant refinancing has raised questions about the fast cash provided by the renegotiated loans on the Delaware properties which the Daily Mail noted occurred “an astonishing 35 times.” Since 1975, the Bidens have lived in two houses in Delaware with their first property in Wilmington being sold in the 1990s. The couple reportedly secured a “new mortgage or credit deal on both homes every 17 months,” according to the outlet.

30-Year-Old San Francisco McDonald’s

A long-standing San Francisco McDonald’s franchise has closed down after 30 years because of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new $20 minimum wage law, the owner said. The Stonestown Galleria McDonald’s became a casualty of the economy on Sunday; franchise owner Scott Rodrick told ABC7 that it was a “gut-wrenching day” for him and his family. Rodrick said the closure was related to being unable to negotiate reasonable rent with the building’s landlord, taxes, and the state’s $20 fast food minimum wage that went into effect on April 1. The previous minimum wage for California fast food workers was $15, more than twice the $7.25 federal minimum wage.

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday on “The ReidOut” that rich people were “kissing Trump’s ring” because they wanted tax cuts and more deregulation. Reid said, “America’s billionaires, oil, gas, tech, media, and otherwise are busy tripping over themselves and stampeding over each other to get in front of Donald Trump and hand him millions in campaign donations so he can get back into the White House. And in exchange for the bribes he’s soliciting door to door, hat in hand, he’s offering to let them operate with less regulation, including drilling on public lands. That’s one of two things you need to understand about the upcoming election.

I know I've shared this before, but the Number One lesson I learned on my very first day of law school was: "Don't pi** off the judge." It's axiomatic — you do yourself zero favors by aggravating the person who holds your fate in their hands. You can be a zealous advocate for your client while still being respectful of the person in the black robe with the gavel who's ultimately going to rule on whatever issue you're arguing before them. Apparently, Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecution team forgot that rule while arguing before Judge Aileen Cannon in Monday afternoon's hearing in the classified documents case

Instead, authorities arrested protesters who disrupted the PGA Tour's Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., on Sunday. As Scheffler, Tom Kim, and Akshay Bhatia approached the green on the 18th hole in the final grouping of regulation play, six protesters — including the requisite chick with a buzzcut — ran out onto the green from multiple directions. Some wore t-shirts emblazoned with "NO GOLF ON A DEAD PLANET" and set off red and white smoke bombs as they descended onto the green.

CBC called the race a “nail-biter to the very end,” with Stewart’s Liberal opponent Leslie Church in the lead for about six out of seven hours of vote-counting. Stewart only took the lead when the final batch of votes was counted, vaulting to 42.1 percent
