Joe Biden threw down the gauntlet on Wednesday, directly challenging former President Donald Trump – his expected 2024 rival — to not one, but two debates. Within hours, CNN announced via press release that it would be hosting the first debate in the presidential rematch on June 27 in the key battleground state of Georgia — where Trump remains under criminal indictment for attempting to interfere with the results of the 2020 election.

lmao

Participating candidates will be required to “appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to the eligibility deadline” — meaning that potential third-party candidate RFK Jr. will likely be unable to take the stage.

    This really is a battle of who has the better pharmacist. Also, I fear that if I watch this debate the collective insanity of the two of them will sonically liquidate my brain

      I really want a break down on the strategy of giving them enough drugs to keep them sharp but not too many that they crash by the end of 2 hours.

      Maybe a secondary analysis of risk vs reward of trying to get some mild uppers in their water bottle.

        I want a sports-style play by play with a panel of pharmacologists and drug users deciphering their every move.

        "Look at his pinky fingers twitching at different times, that's a telltale sign they've got him on at least 5mg of oxymethlnabacalcifermin. That's a risky move given it's short-lived high but it might get him through the worst of this"

          look look the second capsule is dissolving, you can see the pupils start to dilate and the perspiration increases

          when you're right you right, dave. look at him go about immigration. If second dose doesn't hit for genocide joe, he is in big trouble. I heard they've tried harder gelatine due to higher acidity in his stomach

          lets see if it pays off for them

      That's really all I want out of this. Honestly, my mind has been made up since Obama's second term about voting for these ghouls.

      Just entertain me while the place falls apart

    Trumps gonna insist they drop the requirement to turn off mics when it's not your turn and then if they don't do that back out saying they were being very unfair to him and the most gullible pathetic people in the world will see that as a sign of strength and his approval will go up 5 points.

    That or Trump just brings a bull horn and pulls that out when they turn off his mic.
