oliverdarcy Where is Hunter?!

oliverdarcy He should be debating him now and not hiding in a basement taking weak dog all questions from your joke of a network. You don’t ask thought questions or press Biden in anything. He gets a pass. clownnewsnetwork

oliverdarcy Uh-what well you see, it’s the well, Um the thing is when we, uh, forget it

oliverdarcy This clown can't remember what day it is. Now he wants to have a debate? Come on.. he didnt do a damn thing for this country in the 8 years with OBum

oliverdarcy His nurse leads him around by the arm!!! He can’t debate but I can’t wait to see him stumble through them!!

oliverdarcy Further; unless they will fact-check trump on the spot, anything he says will be made up, and as long as it is legal to lie during a debate, trump just wastes our time.

oliverdarcy Trump is gonna make Biden look like a fool. Biden has no idea what he's talking about. He walks around with a nurse, is not allowed to answer press questions, and has shown no plans to improve the country. Biden is totally incompetent.

oliverdarcy Do I see CNN in there.

oliverdarcy I wouldn’t give Bunker Boy the legitimacy of a debate. Just saying.

oliverdarcy Once again false headlines how many people have already said Joe Biden shouldn't attend the debate they are starting to make excuses for him and soon the rules will start coming in

oliverdarcy Honestly do you believe that 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧 would debate Trump.

oliverdarcy Oh sure he is

oliverdarcy What about the NYT op-ed, they do not agree with you. State that the debates are useless.

oliverdarcy Ok, so give us the dates it’s happening!! I’ve been waiting for this! 🍿🍿🍿

oliverdarcy No mention of liberal talking heads suggesting Biden not debate, huh?

oliverdarcy This is fake news. What about CNN saying that Trump won’t leave office in November if he loses? More speculation by the enemy of the people.

oliverdarcy In fact both are not capable to stand in a debate that needs strong endure nerves helping them to continue it!

oliverdarcy I think Joe should NOT debate Trump. How do you debate someone who will lie at a rate of 5/minute, fact check him, refute his falsehoods then try to get across your agenda. It's not possible because Trump doesn't debate, he lies and mis-leads on purpose.

oliverdarcy Speculation? As in fmr. Press Secretary to Obama Joe Lockhart speculation? Or 1/2 of the Democrat Party and entire print newspaper speculation? I would love to see Joe debate our President. He won’t last 30 minutes against Trump, but it’ll be interesting... that’s for sure.

oliverdarcy A lot of independents I know think Joe will get crushed at an in-person debate, it is not just “right wing media” that thinks so. I mean go back and watch Joe at the primary debates, he did awful and barely spoke.

oliverdarcy Umm theres literally articles saying he shouldnt debate him.

oliverdarcy CNN was the outlet advocating for no debate

oliverdarcy The nytimes is Right Wing? Who knew?

oliverdarcy No Democrat leader wants to see Biden make a fool of himself in a debate.

oliverdarcy The current debate format is akin to offensive linemen running the 40 yard dash at the NFL combine, it tells you something but very little to nothing related to the job the person is asked to do.

oliverdarcy This is the classic, “I want to, but they said I shouldn’t “ crap. Visualize a guy in a physical confrontation saying “Hold me back”.

oliverdarcy This has become a parody account.

oliverdarcy Biden can’t even spell his name. Just stop with this guy.

oliverdarcy I don't hear Biden calling Trump out. Do you?

oliverdarcy There Will Be No Debate Republican President Mark Patrick Seymour Is Commander In Chief

oliverdarcy

oliverdarcy Umm, CNN, you got your own guest like Joe Lockhart saying he should not debate Trump. You got NYT and WaPO with opinion pieces saying Biden should not debate Trump. I guess you forgot about your own pundits Lockhart. 🙄

oliverdarcy Really your a joke!

oliverdarcy Left Wing Media: Biden shouldn't debate Trump because he's a liar! Right Wing Media: Look! The left is trying to make an excuse for Biden to avoid debates. Left Wing Media: The Right Wing Media is saying Biden doesn't want to debate Trump! Lies!

oliverdarcy Debate or suffer assaults and unfounded accusations from realDonaldTrump?

oliverdarcy If JoeBiden debates realDonaldTrump and he will, there needs to be a live fact checker there or Biden will be calling trump a liar thru the entire debate and trump will be telling us how great he is even though he never did anything

oliverdarcy That’s hilarious

oliverdarcy Of course, because the Donald would lose the debate. Republicans aren't rational people!

oliverdarcy A kindergarten could debate trump

oliverdarcy He will butcher him

oliverdarcy Yeah like COVID19 .

oliverdarcy You have Democrats saying this. Newspapers writing Op-Ed’s about it . It’s not Fox putting these statements out there now.

oliverdarcy This should be GREAT! Can't wait 😂😂🤣🤣 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲TRUMP 2020 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

oliverdarcy It’s almost like lying is a Republican strategy

oliverdarcy Oh.

oliverdarcy Ok, for when the dates of the three debates and right now is better, Why the fear .......? . 44 years in politics give you the advantage. FoxNewswewantdebate

oliverdarcy Fox News and right wing media. Got it. 🙄

oliverdarcy Hey Oliver, have you ever heard of Joe Trippi, that Clinton guy that YOUR network employs? How many shows on your network did he say Biden shouldn't debate Trump. I don't know who is worse you or Tater Stelter

oliverdarcy Great. Can't wait.

oliverdarcy His handlers know he has no mental capacity left due to dementia to be able to debate. They know if he debates it’s over. So they will not let him debate. Everyone knows that.

oliverdarcy Fox is the fake news .

oliverdarcy I really hope Biden and trump get a chance for a debate. But I don’t think Biden is going to do it

oliverdarcy I don't know why or how you get away with lying sooo goddamn much! U think it would be illegal to do so!? GARBAGE NEWS

oliverdarcy It’s not an imaginary controversy when the New York Times published an opinion piece talking about doing away with the debates. The “right wing” media was responding to that for starters.

oliverdarcy I really wonder why people call you fake news!

oliverdarcy

oliverdarcy You serious, Clark?

oliverdarcy Will be interesting to see debates now that Trump has his administration's record as subject matter. Doubly interesting if they shut microphones off after candidates time has expired. Triply interesting to see Trump attempt to control narrative & if Biden or moderators let him.

oliverdarcy GO TRUMP!

oliverdarcy I will remind you of this when the debates don't happen.

oliverdarcy I seriously doubt it

oliverdarcy Ha. We'll see.

oliverdarcy Not a right wing talking point. The left wing MSM and talking heads are saying Biden should not debate. How do you blame Fox for talking about what a prior Obama person states? Keep twisting the facts...take News out of your name!

oliverdarcy 'right wing media' CNN = 🤡🤡🤡🤡

oliverdarcy Candidates 4lowed convention & posted their taxes to show they didn’t cheat the gov’t but trump didn’t. His taxes may show he’s a thief & traitor. No debate till he proves otherwise by showing his taxes. Let d media hold him to that rule and not repeat the error of 2016

oliverdarcy Apparently you missed Joe Lockhart on your own network program. Epic fail!

oliverdarcy The New York Times has suggested otherwise. They were just reporting on the NYT piece.

oliverdarcy ‘Right-wing’ média outlets reports left-wing cnn.

oliverdarcy Bet he don't!

oliverdarcy That and ppl on the Democrats side floating the idea and locations for the event deciding not to host even though it wouldn’t have an audience is certainly fueling the rumors.

oliverdarcy Or, media advocacy in The NY Times.

oliverdarcy Sure....

oliverdarcy Biden can not speak. This is dnc fed propoganda to suggest Biden is eager. Surrogates will begin pushing for no debates due to _________. InsertExcusesHere CognitiveDecline

oliverdarcy Joe blow

oliverdarcy CrappyNN false information.

oliverdarcy Fox News saying something not true? I’m shocked! 🙄 I don’t care if they debate—I KNOW I’m voting for Biden. They aren’t really debates. They are shows for networks to see who they can “bring down”, embarrass, or to get elevated discussions. Do we really learn anything from them?

oliverdarcy Ya..nice try! Bidens people will never let him..that's why dems will lose again! There is no excuse NOT TO DEBATE..but we all know bidens camp will come up with something and will be the laughing stock of the world..cant wait😂😂🥴🥴

oliverdarcy I’m gonna screen shot this for later KinnishSam

As Trump trails Biden, 2020 aide pressed on broken jobs pledge, Obama-Biden economyTrump 2020 Campaign Adviser Steve Cortes faces a probing interview from MSNBC anchor Ari Melber over Trump’s failure to keep his 2016 campaign pledges on the coal industry and jobs. Pressed to provide factual answers on the economy, Cortes says he does not want to play “quiz show,” and Melber walks through economic data showing Trump has not overseen a net gain in coal jobs nor come close to the new jobs created during the Obama administration, even before the pandemic recession. Melber also asks Cortes to address public comments he made about whether Trump should be a little bit “more fascist.” AriMelber This guy can not be our President the country will be left in ashes AriMelber Perhaps it is more difficult to add jobs at 49-year low unemployment and first time there was more open positions than unemployed?
