Sleepy Joe probably won't even be able to keep up with making the announcements. The media will have a hard time wiping clean the evidence of all Harris' previous radical positions on every issue. She is in reality to the left of Bernie Sanders.

The free-fest has already started. You left out college loan bailout for all.

So are we reaching new levels of hypocrisy?

Interesting that the same people, politicians, celebrities, etc. who were loudly proclaiming that Biden was the best choice for President instantly switched to saying that Harris was the best choice for President…..hard to take any of this seriously.

This election keeps giving me flashbacks from Orwell’s 1984.

No doubt, those same people never had the opportunity to vote for little miss kamala. She was chosen and installed by the party power brokers. Whats frightening is people see no problem with that and just go right along with it.

These are the same people who believe Trump orchestrated his own assassination attempt.

Hence the label "sheep".

It's a non-issue and she has the delegates. People don't have to vote for her in November.

Now, what if Trump backed out due to (fill in any reason) a month ago? Do you think the RNC would try to redo primaries before having a candidate to rally behind? I don't think so, but I also don't think they could find anyone the delegates would back in short order and fall into the chaos Fox was hoping the Democrats would.

No because the RNC would not perpetrate a coverup we all witnessed. Let it sink in. This has been going on for at least 2 years. Democracy is dead. Power elite do as they wish.

Jim, that was sarcasm. I'm not voting Harris or Trump. My vote does not count. Local or national elections.

Ah, okay

Donald Trump agrees to head-to-head debate with Kamala Harris

Donald Trump has agreed to hold a debate with Kamala Harris, after she said she was "ready" to take him on.

Mr Trump had previously said he would not debate Ms Harris - the current vice president and likely Democrat nominee for November's election - because she was not the official candidate.

But Ms Harris has now secured enough votes from Democratic delegates to become her party's presidential nominee - though the online voting process does not end until Monday.

"I am totally prepared to accept the results of this "coup," and replace Joe on the debate stage with Crazy Kamala Harris," Mr Trump wrote on his own social media site, Truth Social.

"I spent hundreds of millions of dollars, time, and effort fighting Joe, and when I won the debate, they threw a new candidate into the ring. Not fair, but it is what it is!"

"Rules will be similar to the rules of my debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his party, but with a full arena audience," he added in a later post, referring to President Joe Biden, who has since dropped his re-election bid.

This second post was then removed for a few minutes before being reposted, with Mr Trump deleting his proposal for a "major" town hall gathering on the same date if Ms Harris was "unwilling or unable to debate".

Although no official details have been released, Mr Trump says the debate will be hosted by Fox News and will take place on 4 September.

"The Fox News debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined," he wrote.

"The moderators of the debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum."

Ms Harris had previously said last month she was "ready" after Fox News proposed a presidential debate between the two candidates.

Harris is poised to be the first woman of colour at the top of a major party's ticket. She has yet to chose her running mate, but is expected to be interviewing candidates over the weekend.

Earlier this week, Mr Trump again courted controversy after he questioned the racial identity of the vice president, drawing gasps from the audience at a convention hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago.

Believe is a strong word. More like willing to accept any accusation or theory no matter how outlandish because they so desperately want it to be true. If someone theorized that Trump ate newborn babies for breakfast there would be people in this very thread promoting it as fact.

Actually, we're working on a post linking you to eating babies...

Yep.

Just pondering...

Given how Trump is loath to do anything under oath, if he were to somehow win the election, when it came time to take the Presidential Oath, would he plead the Fifth Amendment...?...
