Biden Wins Crucial Coin Flip, Picks Curious
Debate ‘Advantage’ Over Trump

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 6/23/2024 10:24:45 AM

Given how much former President Donald Trump loves to get the final word in on any issue, one would assume that President Joe Biden would cherish the chance to strip his predecessor of getting a last word in, especially in a debate setting. One would assume wrong. According to CNN, which will host the first debate, Biden won a crucial coin flip ahead of the June 27 debate. The coin, which turned up tails, gave Team Biden the option to choose between either podium position or the order in which closing remarks are delivered. The incumbent, apparently, opted to lock in his podium position — a seemingly far lesser advantage

Biden picked "House Right" which is "Stage Left"...leaving Trump the opportunity to refer to Biden as "Way over there to my left"

He picked the right side because we read from left to right and our eyes are trained to look in that direction.

Does 'no conversation with aides' include no answers in Biden's 'hearing aid'? Maybe he chose that side to disguise it.

For starters, bidet won the coin flip. Shocking! Secondly, bidet chose a particular part of the stage. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to drop a sandbag on President Trump. They're probably already working on it. Thirdly, I think others on this thread are correct in asking for a drug or DNA test to see if it's really bidet, and if so is he being chemically amped up. Never trust demonrats or their minions.

They always use tricks to help the Dem candidate. Back in 1988 Michael Du-Kaka had a 4 inch riser to stand on behind the lectern so he looked as tall as Bush 41. Didn't help him much.

A very dumb decision by the dims. People tend to be influenced by the last speaker heard. DJT is the master of the two or three minute riff and if you’ve seen his rallies he knows how to summarize the previous two hours with several declarative statements….WE WILL MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN……etc. When the dims campaign makes this sort of unforced error you know the wheels are coming off. PS to DJT…don’t forget to sign off thanking the viewers and asking their help in restoring common sense.

They say that, during his 30+ years in the Senate, the Sniffer was wrong on every foreign policy issue that he came in contact with. Well, he just added another wrong choice. Agreed, the CNN 'Rats are plotting with the HairSniffer's 'Rats to do SOMETHING.... maybe as simple as 'cutting to a commercial' early, in order to cheat Trump at the end of the dog-and-pony show. (As others have stated, this is NOT a 'debate'.) Regarding height, I recall in 1980 the Peanut Man's team wanted Ronaldus Maximus, who was several inches taller, to have to actually step down into a lowered cavity in the stage so that they would both be at the same height. Reagan's team told Carter's team "Put your man on a box!"

They don’t call her ‘Lie-a-watha’ for nothing. Senator Elizabeth Warren appeared on ABC News this weekend and tried to defend Biden over the border crisis saying that he is doing everything he can. She then tried to blame Republicans in congress for not giving Biden everything he wanted in the so-called border bill. Even left wing journo Martha Raddatz wasn’t buying it, pointing out that Trump kept the border more secure with less resources.

The statement came after the Trump campaign ripped CNN for abruptly ending its interview with Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt was supposed to have an interview on CNN, but it was cut short because she told the truth about some of the network’s on-air talent. Host Kasie Hunt decided to pull the plug once Leavitt exposed the network’s overt anti-Trump bias. The segment focused on the upcoming debate between Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump this Thursday and how Trump prepares for the showdown. Leavitt delivered some jabs at Biden, touted Trump’s preparedness, and lashed out at the debate moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, which did not sit well with Hunt.

In total, the Administration has already approved almost $160 billion in relief for nearly 4.6 million borrowers.

Those close to the former first lady believe she will likely split her time between Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City – especially with Barron, 18, tipped to attend New York University. Melania would instead only travel to Washington, D.C. for ceremonial responsibilities like state dinners and other special events. The decision not to live with in Washington is an unprecedented move for a first lady and a break in two-and-a-half centuries of tradition.

Despite being reportedly worth upwards of $10 million, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have refinanced their Delaware home multiple times over the last few years. The constant refinancing has raised questions about the fast cash provided by the renegotiated loans on the Delaware properties which the Daily Mail noted occurred “an astonishing 35 times.” Since 1975, the Bidens have lived in two houses in Delaware with their first property in Wilmington being sold in the 1990s. The couple reportedly secured a “new mortgage or credit deal on both homes every 17 months,” according to the outlet.

On Sunday's "This Week," Martha Raddatz had a panel discussion with three "experts" on the upcoming presidential debate. The panel included Frank Luntz, and what he offered up made little sense. Luntz claims that the last two presidential campaigns, beginning with Trump versus Clinton in 2016 and then Trump versus Biden in 2020, were the beginning of the end of democracy. It seems everything in politics is “the end of democracy.” Luntz claimed that personal invectives and insults are too debasing and, apparently, a sign of the end of democracy. Luntz is a pollster, not a historian. Maybe he’s unaware of the long history of politicians insulting each other.
