CBS: Biden says he'll participate in three debates with Trump
Joe Biden is planning to participate in three previously-scheduled debates with President Trump — and not one more, his campaign said Monday.
The Biden campaign is also calling on the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates to explain how it plans to hold the in-person debates scheduled for September and October, despite the coronavirus pandemic.
"There is no reason why Vice President Biden and President Trump cannot meet for debates with appropriate safety and social distancing measures (set by public health authorities) on the three dates the CPD has identified. Nothing should prevent the conduct of debates between Joe Biden and Donald Trump on these dates; again, we do not want to provide President Trump with any excuses for not debating," the Biden campaign wrote in a letter to the commission on Monday.

Update #1: Joe Biden Commits to 3 Debates, but Trump Campaign Wants 1 More (Time/AP)
Update #2: Biden campaign commits to 3 debates with Trump, claims president is shifting his stance on debate participation as ‘distraction’ (ABC News)
WNU Editor: The Trump campaign is reminding me of the cockiness of the Paul Ryan team before the 2012 Vice-Presidential debate. Everyone assumed that Paul Ryan would dominate and win the debate. That did not happen .... Biden goes after Ryan in VP debate (Politico). As debates go, that debate was one of the most one-sided debates that I have ever seen. And while it is true that former Vice-President is not the man 18 years ago, and he is exhibiting all of the signs of dementia. Do not underestimate Biden's capability or people like him who are suffering from memory problems. I noticed a few years back that my own mother was exhibiting signs of dementia. But everyone who talked to her said that she was fine and there were no signs of anything wrong. Even my own brother said that. But when my brother stayed over with his kids for a few weeks and had to deal with our mom on a regular basis, he noticed there was a problem. I expect Biden will be well prepared for his debate, and he will be acting by instinct. I also expect that he will be receiving medication that will keep him alert and focused. My prediction is that he will give a good performance that will placate those who are concerned that he is not well. But he is not well, and that is going to be a major problem for his family as time goes on, and for the country (and the world) if he is elected President.

sir--
You have no medical degree in areas of neuroscience nor in gerontology and so you're quick diagnosis of Biden's mental condition is at best questionable and beyond that simply a biased statement.

My observation is based on years of personal experience and intelligence guided by doing a lot of research and talking to professionals in the field to treat my mother. Anyone who has a loved one who is suffering like my mom and former Vice-President Biden and want to do the best know what I am talking about.
Agreed, WNU. Then there is simply old age. I personally daily experience this. Last century when my grandfather was still alive I was with him working in his strawberry patch when he suddenly said "Roger, I'm not half the man I used to be". He was 79 at the time and passed a year later in 1970.
Anon, you know better.
@wnu you're right in your general assessment not to underestimate an opponent and Trump was not that great when he debated hillary. But he too did better than expected.
All in all, Biden even in his 50s was not a good debater. He was aggressive and no one dared to push back when he - clearly high on cocaine-bullied his opponents (and even made highly sexist and racist remarks). But all in all your point of not underestimating him is correct, especially as the media gives him a pass over and over again.
"- clearly high on cocaine-bullied his opponents"
"Cocaine Users Face Greater Risk of Aneurysm" - NYT 2005
And the light goes on. It all comes clear.
So much for the genetic or unlucky hypothesis.
I hope BIden needs a pick me up and strokes out right there on stage.
"Cocaine users may risk brain haemorrhages 20 years earlier than non-users,
say doctors in Detroit. If the wall of a blood vessel is damaged, it dilates
and forms bulges (aneurysms). Doctors at Detroit Medical Center found that
the average age of patients with ruptured brain aneurysms was 37. Severe
headaches were suffered by 48 per cent of the patients. All 27 patients
had urine samples that tested positive for cocaine.
According to Richard Fessler, a neurosurgeon at Wayne State University
in Detroit, problems usually occurred within 6 to 12 hours of taking cocaine."

Kick the bucket for the team Joe!
Some aneurysms are due to infections, drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine, or direct brain trauma from an accident.

Cocaine Health Risks: Brain damage
A cocaine user is becomes far more likely to suffer damage to his brain due to his drug use, although he will probably not know about the effects until the damage becomes severe

"I also expect that he will be receiving medication that will keep him alert and focused."
That will get him through the debate ... most likely.
But after the high comes the let down. So will he be off the campaign trail for a 3 days or week while he recovers?
yes. old age is a bitch. I will be 91 in a month. do yoga, tai chi, read books endlessly, run my blog 7 days a week for the past 17 years...walk a mile daily...lift weights daily... etc etc. weaknesws? yes, knees have arthritis and I tire of the silliness in comments here
Trump's growing preoccupation in recent weeks over perceptions of his mental and physical health at a time when critics have mocked him for episodes in which they say he has appeared frail or confused. The attacks Trump has previously levied against Biden - dismissing the former vice president as "Sleepy Joe," secreted away in his basement and enfeebled - have boomeranged back on him, as opponents have seized on Trump's own missteps to raise concerns.
Another sign of Trump's unease came Saturday night in Tulsa, Okla., when the president devoted more than 14 minutes to regaling a campaign rally crowd with the tale of "the ramp and the water." Eager to dismiss questions about his fitness after he struggled with a glass of water and walked unsteadily down a ramp after his June 13 commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Trump offered a revisionist history.
And he wants a list of the softball questions he will be asked also. lol
I will be 91 in a month.
‘If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain.’
read books endlessly,
Books of the calibre of Das Kapital & Mein Kampf
run my blog 7 days a week for the past 17 years
i.e. look up & post of naked white women. Women of color not so much. Racist?
Also parrots/posts NYT & Washington Post. Think of parrot as a mirror server of everything Leftist.
Trumps rally was much better than Bidens.
Here is a picture of Biden's recent rally, which had all of 3 people with 2 of them being campaign staffers.

White House officials are putting a target on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, positioning the agency as a coronavirus scapegoat as cases surge in many states and the U.S. falls behind other nations that are taming the pandemic.
Trump administration aides in recent weeks have seriously discussed launching an in-depth evaluation of the agency to chart what they view as its missteps in responding to the pandemic including an early failure to deploy working test kits, according to four senior administration officials. Part of that audit would include examining more closely the state-by-state death toll to tally only the Americans who died directly of Covid-19 rather than other factors. About 120,000 people in the U.S. have died of the coronavirus so far, according to the CDC’s official count.
Aides have also discussed narrowing the mission of the agency or trying to embed more political appointees within it, according to interviews with 10 current and former senior administration officials and Republicans close to the White House. One official said the overall goal would be to make the CDC nimble and more responsive.
some anon commented that the old guy had a site with NSFW stuff...Either Anon is lying or Anon has visited the site. The question then is: how often does he visit?
Squirrel has bragged about his site many times. Surveying the site does not mean that you frequent it. But you can say that you have evidence and not hearsay. I surveyed the site of a hate crime once. Did I keep repeatedly going there? Hell No. I'll never forget the minority perched on a stop sign (The stop sign was bent at a 45 degree angle.) and a score of people just hanging out on a dusty windblown street late in the afternoon.
128, I encourage you to spend more time at squirrel's website. It will be quite salubrious for you.
"U.S. falls behind other nations that are taming the pandemic."
FACT: The common cold is not considered pandemic. So why is corona which make up 15% of common colds considered a pandemic?
As we test more, we find more infections or past infections. Which is not shocking to a intelligent person, but this stat is used by unscrupulous journalists and other muckrakers to try to scare the gullible like squirrels, parrots and other dim people. But hospitalizations are not rising.
See the graph in the upper left (link immediately below).

China did not tame a thing. It lied.
Russia is lying.
Brasil is having just as bad of time as the US or worse.
Look at a large country with a large population like the US and they will have a high number of cases just like the US. But I am talking to a brick wall, because squirrel just knows how to parrot (no reasoning or logical ability whatsoever).
"I have an unusual family. It’s multiracial. The skin of my grandchildren ranges from dark to fair! (None, by the way, is adopted.) Like most grandmothers, I utterly adore all of them. However, according to Black Lives Matter (BLM), at this juncture, only my black grandchildren are worth a cracker. Yet all the grandchildren are siblings and cousins, who (most of the time) love each other! When they see BLM signs, what are they supposed to think?
Can my black grandchildren now demand an apology for the systemic racism that BLM considers inherent in their white brothers?"
www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/06/blm__what_about_a_multiracial_family.html
What would mirror server guy, Mr. Parrot, say to Diana Mary Sitek?
Mr Parrot tells me to tell you that you have not seen any place and anywhere where BLM said what you claim they say. Not show us where they say this. Mary, finding a place where they listen to her: ie that ultra-conservative site makes the claim that you now lift. Again, show us where this appears.
In passing, I too have mixes in my extended family, including American Indian and Black blood.
a tip: the protests are not just about Black lives but also about policing and diminishing freedom.

"Mr Parrot tells me to tell you that you have not seen any place and anywhere where BLM said what you claim they say"
Can you try that again with proper English grammar again?
I am sure you have a run-on sentence there. I lost you between "...anywhere, where..."

I actually saw the place. It was a "car don't fail me now" type of place.
"In passing, I too have mixes in my extended family, " <-- Anecdotal evidence/whatever
The topic was how do you, BLM & BLM supporters, answer Diana Mary Sitek's charges? She lists at least two.
"policing and diminishing freedom."
Policing is getting better. It will never be perfect. Never. But I guess that lets you gets your 2 minutes of hate per Orwell. Hint there are not any perfect processes.
It also seems rather SELF-SERVING and RIDICULOUS to scream louder the close you get to 100% perfection.
It also seems more about power, when you just freaking ignore problems that are 1,000 time (3 orders of magnitude greater)
Police are going to be better (& more leery of confronting any black criminals). You'll declare victory and agitate more and more. The back drop will be a huge increase in black on black crime and deaths. Take a bow and marvel at your handieork.

You are right about diminishing freedom
The liberals have been working on speech codes. Demonetizing people like Glenn Beck and other similar crap.
Keep rocking the boat and you'll find China or Russia in charge. Word on the street is that they would listen to BLM once there (China/Russia) were in charge. They would treat BLM as kindly as the Uighurs. Could China be in charge? The precursors to your medicine (even aspirin), your electronmic and a whole bunch of other stuff is made in China. How do you propose to fend them off? A rousing rendition of Kumbuyah by a choir? Yeah, that will scare them!
Parrot fishes and dishes it out, but he can't take it. See 3:42 & 3:53 as an example.
please have Mary to show us where BLM states that which she imp[utes and which you suck up and spit out (sometimes you swallow)...she made a claim. you repeat it. I still see no evidence for that claim
