    The bitch caved.

    Edit: Harris has racked up some serious fucking wins. I hope she can keep this up. That they are debating on her terms after trump pulled his bullshit is utterly humiliating. She fucking owned him.

      And lied while doing it, imagine that:

      “I think it’s very important to have debates, and we’ve agreed with Fox on a date of September 4. We’ve agreed with NBC. Fairly full agreement subject to them on September 10. And we’ve agreed with ABC on September 25,” the former president said. … An ABC source was confident that the network’s debate would be the first one between Trump and the vice president, as the Harris campaign has indicated she will not agree to the Fox News debate.

      A source familiar with the NBC negotiations said September 25 was “one of the dates” given to the campaigns. While the network has been in discussions with both camps, the Harris campaign has not formally accepted.

        The use of both “we’ve agreed” in the first sentence, and “subject to them” in the third makes me believe he means we == Trump campain and them == Harris campaign. So lying liar though he is, I don’t read that as him claiming Harris agreed to a Fox debate.

          You’re right about use of “we” and “them”, and right that he doesn’t claim Harris has agreed to fox.

          But that next sentence:

          Fairly full agreement subject to them on September 10.

          Says “I’m only doing it if she does fox first”

      It’s so hilariously obvious what he’s doing, too! “We also want a debate on Fox on the 4th.”

      So you can get her on your turf, have Fox attack her, and then claim because of some bullshit reason that her behavior on the 4th means you won’t do the one on the 10th? Fuck that. No more playing children’s games.

      You lose! Good day sir!

      I don’t think he has.

      He’s trying to make it sound like all 3 dates are agreed by both sides, but Harris hasn’t agreed to fox. When she doesn’t show he can decline sept 10th.
