It took Trump about two rounds of questions to see that, not only was CNN not going to fact check what he said, they weren’t going to do anything to make him respond to the question he had been asked. After that, the night was over.
CNN didn’t pick the topics. Trump did. Then lied about them.
Donald Trump is the ONLY American president who has called for the violent overthrow of American democracy and for terminating the American Constitution.
Donald Trump is the only American president who ignored, denied and mismanaged a pandemic that killed ONE MILLION AMERICANS, most of them senior citizens.
Donald Trump is the only American president who has taken away half of American citizens reproductive rights. Women no longer can control their own bodies.
Donald Trump is the only American president who quotes Hitler, and admires other dictators such as Putin and Orban.
Trump poses a threat to every fundamental American value.
He doesn’t care about the country.
He doesn’t care about you.
He cares only about himself.
And he’ll hurt anyone or anything in pursuit of power.
He’s called for a “termination” of the constitution.
He wants to be a dictator on day one.
He’s continuing to stoke the flames of political violence.

TRUMP LIES: “I am the one that got the cost down for insulin.”
FACT CHECK: Trump did not cap insulin costs. Joe Biden did.
TRUMP LIES: On overturning Roe v. Wade: “This is something that everybody wanted.”
FACT CHECK: The overwhelming majority of Americans support Roe v. Wade.
TRUMP LIES: Trump says his 10% tariff on goods won’t raise prices for Americans.
FACT CHECK: Economists say his tariffs will cost American families up to $8,300.
TRUMP LIES: “[Joe Biden] is a criminal… I did nothing wrong.”
FACT CHECK: There’s only one felon on the stage tonight — and it’s NOT Joe Biden.
TRUMP LIES: “He wants everyone to pay 4 to 5 times more in taxes.”
FACT CHECK: Joe Biden has not raised taxes on anyone making less than $400,000.
Trump continues to refuse to answer if he’d accept the result of the election.
Trump repeats his false claim Biden indicted him. Grand juries of citizens approved the indictments; two of the prosecutions are led by local DAs who do not even report to the feds; Trump has shown no evidence Biden had a personal role in orchestrating any of the cases.
The record China trade deficit was set under Trump in 2018. Biden was right that it’s now at a low since 2010.
Trump’s claim that Biden is seeking to quadruple people’s taxes is pure fiction.
The Satanic Temple in anticipation of demanding that its “7 Tenets” be given equal time:
I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.
V Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
The Bible thumpers will fight tooth and crucifixion-nail to keep those tenets from the eyes of children. They’ll just lead to reasonable, happy and well-rounded adults.
“When I was hungry” you put up posters of the Ten Commandments in my classroom while making sure I didn’t get lunch at school.
GOP Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, who just signed a bill requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in classrooms, rejected $71 million from the Biden administration to feed nearly 600,000 hungry children in his state
“Whatever you do for the least of these, you do unto me.” -Jesus
If you want to put the Ten Commandments in schools but take free lunch out of them, you are worshipping something other than Jesus.

“Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication, and courage. But if we don’t practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us—and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along.”
The Republicans Feeding You Cheapfakes Think You’re Stupid
Their clips are made to hurt Biden, but their flagrant deceptiveness could backfire.
Republican operatives know these snippets of footage are chum to left- and right-wing social-media personalities, and likely to disturb more politically detached users, so they splice them in house.
Some they clip suspiciously short, because it’s easy to make someone seem lost or confused when recorded out of context. Some literally edit down the view frame, because it’s easy to make someone look loopy when you cut the people they’re talking or waving to out of view.
But last week they made a mistake.
On Thursday, RNC operatives posted a 31-second long video of Biden seeming to meander away from fellow leaders at last week’s G7 summit in southern Italy. They uploaded the clip, captioned it with rote propaganda—”WHAT IS BIDEN DOING?”—and let it fly.
Except this time, the smear job was too obvious. The original wire-service footage reveals Republicans used an artificially narrow frame; in full frame it shows Biden turned to greet skydivers who’d landed nearby the assembled democratic leaders. Republicans simply cut the skydivers out of the video.
Once again you and your fellow gullible maga morons are the idiots.
The ruling is BS as well. The seditionists were literally there to obstruct congress and obstruct verifying the election.
