As ew points out, Trump didn’t “agree” to a debate with Harris. He agreed to a debate with FoxNews.Seeing a lot of international media fall for Trump's ploy (my local radio @Live95Limerick did so) on debates. He didn't AGREE to debate. He OFFERED to move the existing ABC debate with rules onto his own propaganda channel, Fox News, w/o different rules. pic.twitter.com/iacXhDewaP

He’s not just weird, he’s a coward. This is a “suggestion,” not an agreement.Donald Trump is blaming his lawsuit against ABC for backing out of the debate. But Trump filed his frivolous lawsuit in March and agreed to the debate in May. The math ain’t mathin’. But he is clearly terrified. pic.twitter.com/PaK7LJUXPB

Trump's "debate" suggestion is the equivalent of saying, "i am only going if my mommy asks the questions, and all my preschool friends can come, and i can bring my binky and my blankie."

It’s really kind of pitiful how big the ring is in the nose of the “independent” “Fourth Estate.”Trump backs out of the planned debate on September 10 on ABC. He then unilaterally sets a new date, changes the hosts to Fox and says that, instead of no audience, it will be in an arena. And this is how the NY Times headline reads:@DougJBalloon pic.twitter.com/jKApDHTDQX

I expect the Times to change that article by noon, based on recent experience.The Times has a piece on Trumps unilateral debate ploy which takes the whole thing at face value, says “unclear” if Harris has agreed to it yet and barely mentions the ABC debate Trump just pulled out of but follows his line of criticism agst it pic.twitter.com/nrK28HyRRQ

The NYT is in the tank for Trump, or any other Republican-fascist who has the nomination. This is the year the Sulzbergers tell the Democratic subscribers to the NYT to FOAD. And it's clear that its all about the tax breaks continuing because it's not like they could have the same kinds of things they had against the Clintons and President Biden against Kamala Harris. I should look farther into that "Etnical Society" atheist prep A.G. went to because it's clear he didn't learn any "ethics" from them.
