    In the UK a few years back, Boris Johnson refused to show up to a debate on climate change, so Channel 4 replaced him with a slowly melting block of ice.

    It annoyed him so much he tried to privatise the entire TV station lol.

        Unfortunately replacing Trump with an inanimate object would only help him, as he does most damage to himself when he speaks.

      I’d call Trump “Courage the Cowardly Dog” but that doesn’t fit at all. Courage actually cared for his people and Trump has never cared about anyone but himself.

        Courage actually had courage. Doing what you need to do to save/help the people you love, even tho you are so fucking terrified your skeleton screams separately from your flesh.

          Which really teaches us that courage is not the absence of fear, it’s doing the right thing irrespective of fear.

    After the debate ended Tuesday night, Republican Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia posted to X, “You want to know who won? Find out who refuses to do a 2nd debate.”

    I know some folks are falling all over themselves to fawn over the various Republicans who have the, um, courage to come out against Trump now, but all I can see is a bunch of self-interested rats leaving the sinking ship.

    I figure the “I was never really a supporter” will start from both elected officials and your Republican neighbors and family members about 1 day after the election gets called for Kamala.

    And if Kamala somehow loses, it will be “I knew he could do it all along.”

      well, he’s been wishy-washy about this before, it seems at one point he said he wouldn’t even have that first debate with Harris before eventually capitulating: https://wgan.com/news/030030-trump-says-he-probably-will-debate-harris-but-can-make-a-case-for-not-her-team-says-hes-scared/
