- Hey now, Chickens can put up a fight when they need to and are smarter than people think. Can we really say the same about trump?
  
  This is kinda insulting to chickens. Chickens can be really nice and form bonds. Can we really say the same about trump.
  
  Chickens are fucking brutal. They'll tear a mouse to shreds in seconds.
  
  No
  
  That let me too fantasize about taking said orange chicken on in a fight.
  
  It's not my most ethical not pacifist line of thought, yet strangely satisfying.

“Fake News. 60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said.

“They insisted on cutting out of the interview to do fact-checking,” Cheung added.

lol looks like the campaign knew he couldn’t help but lie and he’d be made to look like a fool.
- Not lie... They knew he has dementia and was going to blow it by not answering a single question coherently.
  
  I'm not kidding... He's legit got dementia. Watch any speech he's made this year. Dudes got poo-brain.
The world would be a lot better place if Trump had learned earlier in life to pull out.
- *Trump Senior had learned to pull out.
- If he had we’d all just be left with a hardened jizz rag, but now we have Eric Trump
So now the press will start howling about Trump dodging media questions, right?
- maybe Americans should start telling The Press that they won't stand for it.
Wants to be president

🐔

Afraid of 60 minutes reporters
- Any "nasty" reporters would be in jail if he were president
  
  I heard that sort of talk last time around. Since I live in a fantasy realm, I bought a few rounds.?.
Too tired. Very tired candidate.

Lots of people are saying it.
- I saw people saying it on the television.
I get it though. The absolute safest thing Trump can do for himself is to shut the fuck up. I'd wager if he know how to shut up half the cases against him wouldn't exist. He'd still have done wrong, but he would have slid like everyone other billionaire who knows when to shut up.
- I guess they realized that Harris' just-let-him-talk strategy was working.
They would have thrown him nothing but softball questions if he had gone. He can’t even handle that.
- He has trouble in his own rallies with his own speeches.
  
  Well he is the oldest presidential candidate...
Orange Chicken isn’t just a delicious Asian dish anymore, is it? 😂
- Saw someone else reply with this to it and it kind of sent me a bit
  
  Awesome!!! I thought a thought someone more creative than me thought! I’m in great company!
- I would argue it never was. It's the lowest of Chinese cuisine. Fight me.
  
  I’d never fight someone over their food opinion! Stand down soldier! 😆
  
  I think it's a good barometer when trying a new Chinese restaurant. Like if they fuck up on orange chicken they're probably terrible in general. I do the same thing with Tikka Masala at an Indian place I'm trying for the first time.
What a pussy
Pussy bitch.

Scared little loser. Haha
Brave Sir Trump ran away,

Bravely ran away, away.

When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.

Yes, brave Sir Trump turned about

And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,

He beat a very brave retreat,

Bravest of the brave, Sir Trump.
- So i just sang that in my head. Its a good riff, not so catchy as to get lodged in my consciousness for weeks, but it's always there when I need it
What a loser
During her interview Harris should just pause and ask 'what did my opponent say when you asked him the same question in his interview?' over and over again.
superchicken rides again
Bah. 60 Minutes would just softball him and let him say whatever anyway. They’re not who they used to be, and who they used to be wasn’t that great to begin with.
- Yep, yet he's still scared to go on there. It tells you a lot about just how bad he's gotten.
The loser is afraid the microphone would stay hot.
There was no benefit for him. He was only bound to lose voters getting in front of a real crowd not used to his BS.

Kamala should do a long interview with Fox, and Trump should do a long interview with MSNBC. It's what would be good for the American people.
- Maybe? I'm not sure if we want to pretend the fascists are on equal footing as the ones that actually believe in democracy. Good and evil do exist, and we should deplatform the evil
- You know that makes perfect sense until I don't take my meds. Or I do take them.

  "Why in the everloving staircase does it make sense for two political parties to dandy about on how they will control 400 million people?"
  
  Edit: vote for harris you jerks. If Jill Stein wanted this she would have been building the Green Party up from local government back when she started yelling. I
