There's Liz, his only remaining sibling. Nobody seems to know or care much about her.
Or maybe he could persuade Junior to get "lost" on a hunting trip.
I don't think he's ever had laryngitis before, so that might not be convincing.
Maybe he could say his bone spurs are acting up?
Strange.
That's true. But I don't think Biden would refuse either. As long as Trumpty agreed to do it too.
They have to put the spin on why he backs out, though.
One thing he IS good at is lying. He'll come up with something. Unless he's so far gone he doesn't realize he has less than half a functioning brain left.
I really can't think of any plausible excuse. If he says he's sick, that will just emphasize his age. And since he isn't in office, there isn't really an "emergency" he could plead. He really should have withdrawn a while back. Only 11 days to go.
His brain is failing fast- how on earth is he going to manage a debate?
And the debate is less than two weeks away, on June 27.
Biden and Trump campaigns agreed to mic muting, podiums among rules for upcoming CNN debate

My guess is he'll find a way to beg off. If he doesn't, it will be... interesting.
One thing is for sure, you don't give a dementia patient one of the most powerful positions in the world or the people that want to just use him to gain power only for themselves knowing full well that trump will not be around in any capacity for very much longer, he's really not too capable now.
That is most certainly true. And the politicians who cheer him on are indeed trying to profit. Now, and when he eventually becomes so demented he'll have to be institutionalized, or will die. I suspect just about all the VP hopefuls believe if they could just get the job and hang on for a little while, the prize will be theirs.
The trouble with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia is that people don't like to talk about it. One of the good things Nancy Reagan did was try to raise awareness, but she didn't get far with it. I suspect much of the problem is that it's something people don't like to think about. Many children and even spouses are in denial for a long time before they accept the diagnosis; sometimes they never do.
A few weeks ago, Sanjay Gupta did a special on CNN about Alzheimer's. It was quite interesting. Its thesis was that it can be to some extent reversed by applying some fairly simple lifestyle changes. It began with a woman who'd been declining for several years. She no longer left home by herself, talked less, frequently didn't make sense, and all the rest. Her husband was her chief caretaker, and the responsibility was weighing on him. He'd heard of an experimental program in California, and decided to try it.
It was pretty simple. The participants had to eat a vegan diet; exercise for an hour a day, usually by taking a walk; participate in a support group; and meditate for an hour a day. I think that's it. Not complicated or difficult. Sanjay was impressed. He's a neurologist, but I don't know how reliable his impressions are. The woman who was the focus of the show stayed in California with her husband for a while, and then they returned home. They both felt things had improved enormously, as did their adult children. She wasn't "normal", but she was at least once again a participant in her own life. The whole family felt it was worth doing.
Obviously, if the program even delays the worst effects of the disease, it's worth doing. And it's inexpensive and pretty easy to do, unlike most medical regimes. So...
Oh, birds can do more than that. I once watched a TV show about Jane Goodall. In it, she paid visits to some people who'd had interesting pets. One was a woman who lived in New York City, and owned an African Grey. I forget what the Grey's name was; it wasn't the famous Alex, though.
As soon as Jane arrived, the bird got excited, and said, "There's Jane!!" His owner had shown him some videos featuring her. Soon they all got to talking. The woman explained that she'd taken the bird out for a drive with a friend and that he'd enjoyed it.
The bird said, "Wanna go for a drive!!"
The woman replied, "But I don't have a car..."
The bird replied, quite loudly, "GET A CAR!!!"
Like all villains throughout history, he's one of those defective human beings who have made this world a much worse place...
He most certainly is.
No, you are not.
There are an estimated 5 million people over 65 years old with dementia in the United States, who in turn affect millions of family members and other caretakers.
Only five million? That very much surprises me. Out of 62 million people in the country who're over 65?
Yes, it is. I hadn't known about her. it's evolved into something pretty nasty.
Huh? what? I explained it very clearly. Here is a longish history of the term. It goes back a bit further than I thought:
The subculture is often characterized by deep resentment, hatred, hostility, sexual objectification, misogyny, misanthropy, self-pity and self-loathing, racism, a sense of entitlement to sex, blaming of women and the sexually successful for their situation (which is often seen as predetermined due to biological determinism, evolutionary genetics or a rigged game), a sense of futility and nihilism, rape culture, and the endorsement of sexual and nonsexual violence against women and sexually active people.

I am sure you are a great catch! What is not to like? Misogynistic, self-important, intractable, preening "compassionate", narcissistic.
Newmed is none of those things. You are not good at reading people. You should work on that.
It isn't what "they" call those men. It's what those men call themselves.
So there's no equivalent for women.
Yes, that's what they are. I think in most cases, it's what they've always been. They're just unattractive jerks. It's their fault, but they try to blame women for their sorry state.
I DO think Trump has something on Lindsey Graham.
It's maybe 8 or 10 years old. Or perhaps older for those who qualify. It means "involuntary celibate". They're very resentful of women. Why anyone would want to advertise the fact beats me. But they do.
I would think that a decent supermarket would do well in the space, especially if they cater (arr arr) to busy people who want to pick up either the ingredients for a quick meal or maybe an entree and a couple of sides.
Sounds like a natural for Whole Foods.
Does trumpty have videos, audios and receipts?
True, he probably does have something on a few of them. But not all. Romney is a real straight arrow. And some of the others, too. MTG genuinely believes he likes her but then she's VERY stupid.
I hope he isn't another incel...
She is right. My a/c is set to 70, winter and summer. Except that in winter, it's off during the night.
But rather than live in Alaska, I think the solution would be to live in the Southern Hemisphere during summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Not that there's anything wrong with a beach vacation occasionally. Just not all the time.
Interesting. I wonder if he's been involved in any other US public companies recently.
I just hate summer... And it's only just getting started.
I see. What an odd coinkydink that you'd have heard of him in the past.
In this case, it's not a question of disagreement. It's a question of deliberately posting lies. You could have fact-checked that story yourself. It was obviously ridiculous; clickbate for the ignorant.
And you snapped it up.
I wish it were getting chilly here. Next week is supposed to be brutal.
I've only been there a few times. It seems okay to me. The prices aren't bad. Right now, $1.47 for a pound of strawberries.
LOLOLOLOL!!
I'm sure that nowadays, there are many that can say "nevermore". But I couldn't find a video.
Some would argue that ravens and crows can speak, though it seems they rarely carry on conversations. There's some argument about whether they're really different species, but at any rate they're both corvids. It's said the ravens are bigger.
And starlings can also talk:

lol, you may be right... Do the idiots who criticized Dolly not realize that even people who aren't crazy about C&W love her?
I suppose so...
Up to 64 degrees now but no wind off the lake means 80 today and 93 and 96 tomorrow and Mon.
And apparently for the rest of the week, and maybe the next. Here, it's okay at 80, and will be cool tonight and not too hot tomorrow. But starting Monday, things will be different. Might even go over 100 by the end of the week.
We've been lucky for the past two or three summers, but this one may be different.
Imagine that! You learn something every day!
No, I have not. Perhaps it's an Indonesian thing.
You know, I think Trumpty may actually believe most black people have committed crimes and served prison time.
Or at least the ones who aren't athletes.
That is how his tiny, nasty mind works.
LOLOLOL!!
That's somewhat surprising...
