Honestly, the Trump debate team should hire Sasha Stone to set strategy and tactics. She’s in touch with the mood of the country and knows the capabilities of both candidates very well.
This is correct, Trump will be censored just like the last 8 years. People know it now, though. I think few will watch except the 20% financially independent and militant Left.
He was banned for his tweets on Jan 6 when he tried to endanger pence by increasing his mob's anger towards him, then tweeted a video when he told his thugs that he "loved" them and they are "very special." Trump has been having proxies come in to court to say unhinged things in his place to get around the gag orders.
The only unhinged people are the totalitarians in this regime and the terrorist supporting lefties. You’re not keeping up with the facts and are still believing and spewing the leftist propaganda. The only coup was in November. Now the left must destroy Trump, trying desperately to keep him off the ballot, out of office and in jail. That’s so American. Most are not crimes, some are misdemeanors that the “let out of jail free” folks are bizarrely trying to turn into felonies. Trump should not be gagged when they are all going on endless talk shows and the AG is tweeting her heart out about his guilt. None of that is how a Republic works. Trump should never have been banned from social media. This is fascism and totalitarianism in our faces, and somehow you buy it all. It also wasn’t a mob until the police, unprovoked, began spraying the crowds causing panic. J6 committee was a tv production, producing theatrics as they love to do. It was an unconstitutional committee, shredding evidence and selectively choosing videos. How many FBI were in the crowd? Why was Trumps national guard request refused? It was a set up. You’ve been indoctrinated by leftist totalitarian scum. You’re not the resistance when leftist activist media is on your side. You are no longer thinking critically or rationally.
Read your earlier posts and can't believe I'm agreeing with you on anything, but I do agree that the worst thing Trump did in the 2020 debates was to interrupt Joe before giving him time to implode. Joe would have made a complete a ss of himself, lied blatantly, began to mumble and forget what he was talking about, etc. except Trump kept saving Joe by interrupting him.
“Give him (Biden) enough rope to hang himself” comes to mind. Unfortunately Biden could admit and say “I was corrupt and am demented now it’s true” but the NYT, CNN, and WAPO would still deny it or not mention it. Such is the Fascist state of the press core.
Right wingers have defective memory and somehow missed trump's strategy of taking over Biden and not letting him finish a sentence in the 2020 debate. Wonder what unhinged thing trump will do this time?
Excellent advice. Plus there is Reagan's question of are you better off than you were 4 years ago. If that goads Biden into citing his fake statistics then ask who are you going to believe, him or your lying eyes.
Pretend like you're at one of your rallies. Take the question and frame it in such a way that it hits on the positive points you talk to people about at rallies. Use the force of positive. The last 4 years have been the force of negativity, fear and anger. Counter that.
"Make my day pal". The challenge comes in a 12 second piece that had to be edited 15 times for him to get it right. He's gonna need a lot of Adderal for the debate.
He will listen; he is not stupid. He does also learn from the past and will apply as he already has. Calling out Leslie Stahl recently was a pretty good example.
Me thinks 70% of the electorate already know the 'debates' will be rigged and will tune out regardless. You do not have 100,000 people rally in a blue state without folks knowing the bias.
I have read SO many articles by right wingers telling trump what he "OUGHT" to do. Trump does not take advice, is impulsive, and does whatever he feels like at the time.
That is who Trump is aside of the satanic forces within Sodom on Potomac. It blows me away at how evil DC is. I am reading "Grant" by Chernow and the DC Blob started after the Civil War and has metastasized ever since.
You realize that the questions will be given to Biden ahead of the debate and the topics will be geared to Biden's advantage. The moderators will interject on Biden's behalf. Not sure what Trump gains in a debate on CNN or any of the MSM
Great suggestions Sasha. The one item I might disagree with is avoiding J6. That narrative absolutely has to change and people need to know the truth. There are still people in jail from that because of false premises.
I don't agree. One guy showered with his daughter, a daughter who admitted that was all real, the other guy is ON TRIAL for allegedly possibly oh so maybe having sex with a pornstar...all above board, without payments for acts committed....then got extorted by said person....a President whose lawyer actually made the payments is screaming PRISON FOR THAT GUY....for a paper trail that doesn't make any sense.
This alternate reality will not stand. We are living through fascism, communism, whatever you want to call it. This is not good. Trump should come out firing from both barrels.
I miss the good old days when America had a southern border and safe city streets. I miss the good old days when most of my “fellow Americans” were sane enough to know that such things are the very basics of being a country. Will the good old days ever return? Fat chance. Very easy to imagine democrats becoming far more wildly deranged. Impossible to imagine them becoming less so. This does not bode well for our future.
Trust me, I know. I am doing every thing I can to not be the cause of a civil war. But all this has to end, somewhere, and somehow. It's pure corruption. It's a cancer of humanity.
The devil is in the details. We have already divorced internally though. Our social fabric and commonality have been shredded by the deranged fanatics who rule us.
I don’t think we have to go that far. The center has held, and the past month has proven that the left is losing and losing badly. Allowing them to achieve the national divorce, which is their goal, would be a mistake on our part. The goal is not division and divorce, the goal is triumph. And we are headed that way. They are toast.
Depends on the level of leftist fraud. I get emails from the communist Indivisibles on the far left. They’re sending emails every day. They are freaking out. It makes me happy. Hope we’re happy in November and dementia Joe and Obama can’t “finish the job”.
We are. For sure. The Woke BS is swirling the drain! DEI is being banned in multiple states. The Trans BS is being exposed as abuse as Europe and the UK ban it. Trump leads in swing states by a lot. Never Trumps are becoming Never Bidens. It’s all been exposed.
If you haven’t already, maybe give a read to the now two books Sasha named her stack after. We are in a 4th turning Crisis era now, it can end in triumph or tragedy. But history says another different era will arise after this Crisis passes (a High era), then an Awakening, followed by an Unraveling (what we saw in 90’s and 00’s) then another Crisis again. 4 turnings in roughly a 100 year period. We’ve been here before, if you believe in theory of generational cycles (vs. pure linear history)
Howe published an update to the ‘97 book (4th Turning is Here) in 2023. I haven’t read it yet but plan to later this year. The generational mood stuff is intriguing and truthful, IMO.
Chicago always had No Go Zones known to be off limits but they were on the black south and west side. Downtown, north side and southwest side were fairly safe. Not anymore. City wide black wilding has ruined our once beautiful downtown by the lake and the trendy north side neighborhoods near the lake are now hunting grounds for black crews from the south side driving around looking for prey. Today I had a couple of plumbers come to my house to do some work.
As almost always, they were immigrants. One from Albania, the other an Assyrian from Iran. I asked them if they do jobs on the south side. They said they used to but no more. One said his truck was broken into twice while on a job there, the other said they stole his whole truck. They said for a while the company tried sending blacks on jobs there but a few years ago one young black guy was killed on a south side job. Now they will send someone but if he feels the area is too dangerous he can call the dispatcher who will just cancel the job and send him elsewhere. This is just not working at all. I always enjoy talking to the immigrants though. I worked with many for many years, mostly from Vietnam, Mexico and Assyrians from Iraq. Great people with traditional values. Very much an asset for our floundering society.
Many are but I’m sure the 81 million is just fake bs. Something like 40% though do support the democrats according to RCP polls. That’s way too many to ever again have a functional country or a governable country.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - Some Old White Racist Guy.
This will happen over and over every 4 years or so. The people opposed to that quote will take power and break the thing.
You misspelled "evil". When talking about Fonda always remember that Ted Turner divorced her because she was too religious (some New Age thing). That takes evil to a whole lower circle of Hell.
Why don’t you come to Chicago and visit the south side blacks? As they’re grinding your fat white face into the sidewalk for being white don’t forget to tell them how much you love them for being black.

The problem is that Trump will be debating two people not one - the left wing moderator as well as Biden. We have been trying since 2020 to get Trump and the RNC to insist on two moderators - one chosen by Trump and one by Biden. Also, how can Trump have a fair debate when you know the biased CNN and ABC will very likely give Biden the questions ahead of time?
Biden doesn’t even need the questions ahead of time. He knows the first question to him will be: “President Biden, sir, why has it been so hard to get the American people to understand how wonderful things are, and how great Bidenomics is?”
First question to Trump will begin: lMr. Trump, now that you are a convicted felon…”
If everyone would do themselves a favor and read whatever brilliant guy wrote this, it sums up our situation perfectly. It'll take you all of three minutes if you aren't brain dead. No I didn't write it and no I don't make money from it.
Everyday we read headlines in the news like at least 13 killed and 62 others wounded over the long weekend in Chicago, a 6-year-old-boy-shot-Virginia-teacher, 5 children among 8 dead in Utah murder-suicide after wife sought divorce, at least 2000 people have been killed or injured in mass shootings since 1999 to name a few headlines in the recent past. The list goes on. It seems like No Lives matter anymore.
But, mankind has always been corrupt which is why our Founders wanted to keep the federal government small – so the people can keep a close eye on it. Would you say John Adams was being good when he signed the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798? The ink was barely dry on the Bill of Rights (1791) when the Adams administration began locking up publishers promoting “democratic republicans” who supported Thomas Jefferson during the election of 1800. Human nature is and always will be corrupt. The only way out of this mess is to Seriously Downsize the federal government!!
We the People are the Heirs of the American Experiment and We are Squandering Our American Inheritance!
I don't fault the founders for not being perfect. They were figuring it out as they went along. It's 2024...half the country is trying to destroy it, and the other half is trying to go back to it working. That's where we are at.
We recovered from the Alien and Sedition Acts and the various depardations of Jackson. The break came with Lincoln using massive force to enforce his vision. Then came TR, Wilson, FDR. LBJ and here we are
All true. Everyone tries to nail down "when it went wrong." My argument is that it has been going wrong at an accelerated rate, and then the internet hit and it spiraled.
It comes down to doing the best with what you’ve got. Our founders understood both the calling of scriptural holiness and the depravity of the human heart. Even amongst themselves in their own time most would fall short but they knew the importance of ethics and strived to do what was right. We’re called to do the same today in a time that is far, far less conducive to the likelihood of even mediocre success. Donald Trump, with all his shortcomings, will serve our nation in a more fundamentally positive way than will Joe Biden and the Democrat party. That may not be saying much in 2024 but to believe otherwise is, to put it charitably, delusional foolishness. If you haven’t yet seen it, take nine minutes and watch Tom Klingenstein’s video presentation on the choice that we’re presented with --- https://youtu.be/XEIk6ic-Nj8.
Sanctimonius BS but I can't help but feed the dumb troll. There is a man, and there is a Presidency. Trump is a normal dude. He was an awesome President, and he was a President for everyone. I don't want a spiritual leader, I want an effective one. He was. Your potato isn't, and is going to lose.
Besides Trump, how do you explain Gaetz, Alabama Roy Moore, IL Dennis Hastert, former Repub speaker of the house 1999-2007 sentenced for sex crime with minor, ID Larry Craig, a Repub US Senator from Idaho, was arrested for lewd conduct in a men's restroom, Idaho Aaron Von Ehlinger , ND Ray Holmberg, Minnesota Republican strategist, Anton “Tony” Lazzaro, NB Repub gubernatorial candidate Charles W. Herbster, accused of groping by eight women...
Right! Donald Trump told the press that sentient Reaper drone Nikki Haley is “going to be on our team” because the two of them share “a lot of the same ideas.”
This man is openly saying he’s going to once again team up with warmongering swamp monsters for his next term, and is openly saying he’s going to continue Biden’s warmongering in Ukraine and Gaza. But I am with absolute certainty still going to get brainwashed Trump supporters telling me he’s going to end the wars and fight the Deep State.
I completely agree with Sasha. Biden did a VP debate after Obama's debate was considered a failure, and utilizing his rude junkyard dog tactics, Biden was credited with "talking demoralized Dems off the ledge." And if Trump would wise up and tap Tulsi for VP, she would steamroll Cackling Kamala as she did before.
Trump needs to get Tulsi on board ASAP as VP and get her out there to start trouncing Joe and Kamala immediately. She will make quick work of that and I am confident that Tulsi will make that all look easy. Another thing to consider… Biden did decent in the debates leading up to the last election but now he is far worse off cognitively. I am sure Biden will be given all the questions ahead of time but team Trump must absolutely insist that zero notes, teleprompters, ear pieces, etc. will be allowed. Under those circumstances I think Biden will be left bumbling and stumbling through one word salad after another. Despite a giant dose of adderall I just don’t think he’s capable of getting through a debate without things going sideways in a big way.
Excellent advice Sasha. To paraphrase Michael Herman, Dems are pro child mutilation/Title IV trans, open boarder, racially divisive DEI, and economic failure. These topics are low hanging fruit.
I also own. But I’m concerned for next generation being able to do the same. Inflation is accumulative and costs of food & energy are way up, way burdensome to young people, especially. The slight ‘dip’ in April inflation doesn’t erase what’s happened over last 3-years.
Biden & crew point to 40K Dow (new record) and erasing student debt. That’s what I call being tone deaf. But that’s pretty much all he has.
Yeah, I'm feeling the tuition fees right now for my daughter and they are too damn high. My take is the internet/streaming/phone costs are a bit higher than past comparable (when it was newspaper, cable, magazine subscriptions). But these costs are just tiny ones compared to housing, cars (and insurance!), food and energy expenses. These 'staples' have really gone up, and getting closer to what the country experienced in the late 1970's. I grew up in a household where my parents first home carried a 16% mortgage rate, a house they eventually lost to the bank. The tug-of-war between the haves and have-nots continues.
I'm anticipating there will be another crash/pull back at some point before 2030, and when it occurs, I'll have mixed feelings about it. Feel bad for investment losses but feel good that youth can finally catch a break and create some wealth. It's funny, at Dow hits its all-time high I have many investments benefiting. But I keep selling those that have made a lot and ploughing the proceeds into safe fixed income assets. Nobody knows when the next crash will occur, but I'm going to keep a good deal of powder dry for when it does.
Honestly, the Trump debate team should hire Sasha Stone to set strategy and tactics. She’s in touch with the mood of the country and knows the capabilities of both candidates very well.
She's even more in touch with what Democrats think .
Can we send it to X?
This is correct, Trump will be censored just like the last 8 years. People know it now, though. I think few will watch except the 20% financially independent and militant Left.
Censored? He's been running his mouth non-stop and posting on Twitter, then Truth Social non-stop for the last 8 years!
He hasn’t posted on Twitter since the left banned him. That would be censorship. Same with the unconstitutional gag orders.
He was banned for his tweets on Jan 6 when he tried to endanger pence by increasing his mob's anger towards him, then tweeted a video when he told his thugs that he "loved" them and they are "very special." Trump has been having proxies come in to court to say unhinged things in his place to get around the gag orders.

Yesss, another network. They makin us watch NFL on Netflix, good grief. We can watch a debate on CSPAN....
This is Trump's first blunder of this election. No way he should debate Biden under their terms. Strike 1.
LOL! Did you watch the 2020 debate? Trump looked like a fool and a bully since his strategy was to talk over Biden and not let him finish a sentence
Read your earlier posts and can't believe I'm agreeing with you on anything, but I do agree that the worst thing Trump did in the 2020 debates was to interrupt Joe before giving him time to implode. Joe would have made a complete a ss of himself, lied blatantly, began to mumble and forget what he was talking about, etc. except Trump kept saving Joe by interrupting him.
“Give him (Biden) enough rope to hang himself” comes to mind. Unfortunately Biden could admit and say “I was corrupt and am demented now it’s true” but the NYT, CNN, and WAPO would still deny it or not mention it. Such is the Fascist state of the press core.
This;
Do not interrupt Biden - let him talk and talk and talk and talk. The more he talks, the worse it will be for him.
A gem. Hope he does that.
Amr Australia
And when he stops ask him "Can you elaborate on that please?"
Troll Fondle.
Jane, you’re sad. Just give it up. I know the cognitive dissonance is intense and it’s hard, but you’re wrong on every point.
Are you still hyperventilating on that? That’s sad.

As occurred in the past, it is likely that ABC and CNN will telegraph the questions to Ol' Joe's team ahead of the debate.
Great advice, both strategic and tactical, If only Trump would listen.
He will listen; he is not stupid. He does also learn from the past and will apply as he already has. Calling out Leslie Stahl recently was a pretty good example.

I am not sure that America ever had safe streets at least in leftist cities that restricted self defense.
Chicago always had No Go Zones known to be off limits but they were on the black south and west side. Downtown, north side and southwest side were fairly safe. Not anymore. City wide black wilding has ruined our once beautiful downtown by the lake and the trendy north side neighborhoods near the lake are now hunting grounds for black crews from the south side driving around looking for prey.

That is so true of so many cities all over the country. I see no way this can be reversed and believe only AI can save our sinking ship.

You are too young to remember when people never locked their doors. When kids could play without supervision in the neighborhood, when

You are such an obvious troll it isn't even arguable. Pray tell? Who do you pray to, Beelzebub?
It comes down to doing the best with what you’ve got. Our founders understood both the calling of scriptural holiness and the depravity of the human heart. Even amongst themselves in their own time most would fall short but they knew the importance of ethics and strived to do what was right. We’re called to do the same today in a time that is far, far less conducive to the likelihood of even mediocre success. Donald Trump, with all his shortcomings, will serve our nation in a more fundamentally positive way than will Joe Biden and the Democrat party. That may not be saying much in 2024 but to believe otherwise is, to put it charitably, delusional foolishness. If you haven’t yet seen it, take nine minutes and watch Tom Klingenstein’s video presentation on the choice that we’re presented with --- https://youtu.be/XEIk6ic-Nj8.
Sanctimonius BS but I can't help but feed the dumb troll. There is a man, and there is a Presidency. Trump is a normal dude. He was an awesome President, and he was a President for everyone. I don't want a spiritual leader, I want an effective one. He was. Your potato isn't, and is going to lose.
Where pray tell do Clinton Obama Biden Harris Schumer Pelosi Reid fit in to morality and virtue???! Liars, rapists, pedophiles?
Besides Trump, how do you explain Gaetz, Alabama Roy Moore, IL Dennis Hastert, former Repub speaker of the house 1999-2007 sentenced for sex crime with minor, ID Larry Craig, a Repub US Senator from Idaho, was arrested for lewd conduct in a men's restroom, Idaho Aaron Von Ehlinger , ND Ray Holmberg, Minnesota Republican strategist, Anton “Tony” Lazzaro, NB Repub gubernatorial candidate Charles W. Herbster, accused of groping by eight women...
I'd like to think Trump could discipline himself as this article explains...become a bit more Reaganesque.
Lets hope he reads TheFourthTurn w SashaStone.....
Trump disciplined? LOL!
Right! Donald Trump told the press that sentient Reaper drone Nikki Haley is “going to be on our team” because the two of them share “a lot of the same ideas.”
This man is openly saying he’s going to once again team up with warmongering swamp monsters for his next term, and is openly saying he’s going to continue Biden’s warmongering in Ukraine and Gaza. But I am with absolute certainty still going to get brainwashed Trump supporters telling me he’s going to end the wars and fight the Deep State.
Good, short read. Please keep’em comin’👍🏽 and I hope your hand is healing well🙏🏽
If Biden mocks Trump for not accepting the 2020 election results Trump should mock Biden for accepting them.
I completely agree with Sasha. Biden did a VP debate after Obama's debate was considered a failure, and utilizing his rude junkyard dog tactics, Biden was credited with "talking demoralized Dems off the ledge." And if Trump would wise up and tap Tulsi for VP, she would steamroll Cackling Kamala as she did before.
The Cackler, it is a train wreck.
Trump needs to get Tulsi on board ASAP as VP and get her out there to start trouncing Joe and Kamala immediately. She will make quick work of that and I am confident that Tulsi will make that all look easy. Another thing to consider… Biden did decent in the debates leading up to the last election but now he is far worse off cognitively. I am sure Biden will be given all the questions ahead of time but team Trump must absolutely insist that zero notes, teleprompters, ear pieces, etc. will be allowed. Under those circumstances I think Biden will be left bumbling and stumbling through one word salad after another. Despite a giant dose of adderall I just don’t think he’s capable of getting through a debate without things going sideways in a big way.
Excellent advice Sasha. To paraphrase Michael Herman, Dems are pro child mutilation/Title IV trans, open boarder, racially divisive DEI, and economic failure. These topics are low hanging fruit.
Not adjusted for inflation ... Bid-inflation-omics strikes again.
Jane, are you a renter? I doubt it. Rents, since 2019 have far outpaced wage growth. The kids are hurting.

Yes, this image sums it up:

I also own. But I’m concerned for next generation being able to do the same. Inflation is accumulative and costs of food & energy are way up, way burdensome to young people, especially. The slight ‘dip’ in April inflation doesn’t erase what’s happened over last 3-years.
Biden & crew point to 40K Dow (new record) and erasing student debt. That’s what I call being tone deaf. But that’s pretty much all he has.
Yeah, I'm feeling the tuition fees right now for my daughter and they are too damn high. My take is the internet/streaming/phone costs are a bit higher than past comparable (when it was newspaper, cable, magazine subscriptions). But these costs are just tiny ones compared to housing, cars (and insurance!), food and energy expenses. These 'staples' have really gone up, and getting closer to what the country experienced in the late 1970's. I grew up in a household where my parents first home carried a 16% mortgage rate, a house they eventually lost to the bank. The tug-of-war between the haves and have-nots continues.
I'm anticipating there will be another crash/pull back at some point before 2030, and when it occurs, I'll have mixed feelings about it. Feel bad for investment losses but feel good that youth can finally catch a break and create some wealth. It's funny, at Dow hits its all-time high I have many investments benefiting. But I keep selling those that have made a lot and ploughing the proceeds into safe fixed income assets. Nobody knows when the next crash will occur, but I'm going to keep a good deal of powder dry for when it does.
