Just 2 military officers having a word on what the officer’s oath may or may not mean ..... yawn

Lots of talk about him pulling out of the Debates with Trump.
What are they scared of?

How about Trump produce his tax returns. There is obviously something in there that Trump is very scared of being exposed.

It does indicate the level of concern in the populace that the president will refuse to accept the election result. Has this ever been an issue before?

But how many times have you seen Biden interviewed in the last 3 months.The answer is only twice.
It is often his campaign manager or wife who front the media..

Seems a good strategy to me, no need for Biden to say anything when the Donald is behaving so erratically, just let him cut his own throat.

I agree, however Harris VP has had to talk about her approach to leadership (current lack off). So, that opens the area for the Trumpers to start the criticisms and attacks. Stand by. Pence had a long list of complaints. Trump's approach is to go on about Harris's questions to the right wing evangelical Supreme Count Trump nomination, firing up his base who many of them seem to be a lot of one issue mob.

We can only hope that the notorious BRG stays on the Court till a change of govt should it occur.

Here's a detailed profile of Harris from the PBS Newshour (generally considered independent). Pick it up at either 2:36 or 6:30.

PBS Newshour August 12

It balances the FOX News programming I watched for a couple of hours this morning that was 100% disparaging of Harris (and Biden) and obviously aimed squarely at the 35% (or so) of committed Republican voters. I just wonder where the Trump campaign believes it is going to pick up the other 15+% of independent voters it needs for victory in November in the midst of the pandemic. Its usually the 'economy stupid', but this time it has to be the 'virus stupid' one would think.

Even the swing States will need to move a long way to even up the Electoral College in Trump's favor at the moment.

fivethirtyeight.com has just released its model and has Biden/Harris at 70% v Trump/Pence at 29%. The same as the percentage for Clinton in November 2016, so there is still a long way to go.

It’s the same as the last few cycles, who can get their vote out........maybe just add and votes counted.

FOX News?

So, you and the current POTUS have something in common?

Just trying to get a view from both sides of the aisle.

Why? There’s no sanity in views from FOX. That path leads to madness.

I saw an interview with Fox and Trump that was really good and actually challenged Trump and informed viewers!

I’ve since watched some bits of it (very frustrating viewing, by the way) but unfortunately the responses provided by the POTUS were just too much, to put it mildly.

Well they were pretty expected but I found the fact that Fox put up a rebuttal of the claim to be doing better than other countries, the most fascinating bit. Not what you get from other commentators on Fox.

Watching FOX will degrade your currently excellent brain.

Fox News threw everything but the kitchen sink at Kamala Harris

Fox News was in full attack mode Tuesday night, throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Kamala Harris.

Childish behaviour,

"Carlson mocks name

But it was Carlson's mockery of Harris' name that drew the most attention. Carlson repeatedly mispronounced the senator's name, even getting called out by a guest for doing so. Carlson claimed his mispronunciation was unintentional. But it should be noted that Carlson often mispronounces the names of people he doesn't like. It's sort of a feature on his show and it seems pretty intentional. And, as Mediaite pointed out, he kept doing so after his guest corrected him."
