Maybe Bobby needs to have his own streamed simocast responding to the questions as they are asked :)

Not a bad idea!

Maybe, RFK needs to clarify his positions instead of playing wag the dog??

I hope Shanahan, the AI expert will design a virtual debate stage for RFK, putting him on that debate stage answering every question. It could be a technical marvel and a big screw you to the corrupt duopoly and their corporate media cabal. If done well, it would garner a lot of attention.

That's a fun idea!

Are you actually advocating for AI due to perceived shut out?

No Doreene "we" do not need AI anything and MOST DEFINITELY not a worsening of the garbage being served. You are clearly wowed suggesting it a "technical marvel"

I am wowed by intelligence from the human mind!

You don’t need it. It might enjoy approval from some.

That might be the way to make lemonade out of the situation. I say give it a go.

No. Nothing AI. Bad idea. Do you not realize how evil AI is?

AI is at least as good as it is possible to be bad. The beauty of Shanahan is that she knows the difference.

I hope that before too much longer the American people will be demanding publicly funded elections.

Our government has been privatized by big Pharma, the defense industry, the banks, legacy media and so forth. It's no wonder that the draft may be coming back. What we have now is indefensible.

Precisely. America is We the People, not We the Corporations!

Well, that’s what America is SUPPOSED to be.

Forget it

It will not be a debate, it is not intended as a debate

Allow them to validate what we have already watched

The "Nonsensical games of he says she says to THE BASE

Let Mr. KENNEDY continue to reach out to the %60-70 of Americans who are begging for an alternative.

YES. I am painfully aware of just how corrupt and vicious the so-called two-party managers are

I also consider lessons from history one of these has always been

Yes, but it costs to reach all those people, and the ones tuning in are the ones that need to see how Kennedy is different from the other two.

I agree with everything in this article other than the comment that CNN colluded with the Trump campaign. If it were to Trumps disadvantage - CNN would bring Kennedy on.

Trump accepted horrible debate terms that I doubt Biden's campaign ever expected - I think they expected Trump to decline to give them an advantage - so they could pretend Biden was strong and Trump feared a debate. Oops, they were wrong.

Kennedy was cheated by not being allowed to run as a democrat. Hiding this from voters is paramount to keep Kennedy out of the game. There is no way they will allow Kennedy at a podium to tell the voters this OBVIOUS fraud. For this reason, I think the colluding is between Team Biden and CNN only.

You must know that neither Trump, nor Biden wants RFK anywhere near that debate stage.

No matter how you spin it…PFIZER is BAD BUSINESS. ALL THOSE REQUESTING A SEAT AT THE HELM OF OUR ONCE GREAT USA..should be allowed on ALL forums. Period.

Big Pfizer is Big Bad.

Does anyone remember what they did to Sanders in 2016 and 2020? Outright sabotage, cheating.

CNN gave Hillary some debate questions, but that's only one example. The attacks on Bernie often happened at turning points when he was winning such as Nevada where false accusations of "chair throwing" were given big headlines. Bobby could win if he stood on the stage with Trump and Biden, but without that kind of mass exposure, I don't see how he can win anymore than Bernie could win the Democratic nomination. Few people challenged the Democrats and the media then, and here we are today with surreal choices for President and a Congress in the hands of a foreign entity.

"Will CNN’s Illegitimate Presidential Debate Be Brought to You by Pfizer?"

No... it will be brought to you by AIPAC... so all might not be lost for Mr. Kennedy...

Expand full comment

I don’t know what AIPAC is.

American Israel Public Affairs Commttee that pays for Congressional seats and the Oval Office. See "Track AIPAC" and other sources. My Congressman has received

$1,213,154 from AIPAC and related groups. Currently the most expensive Democratic primary ever is being waged by AIPAC vs. Congressman Jamaal Bowman because of his statements against genocide in Gaza.

Outstanding suggestion! Would LOVE to see that happen!

Another reason for commercials may be that Biden’s pit crew needs periodic pit stops to refresh and refuel.

I’ve decided that I am not going to watch this so-called ‘debate’.

One reason CNN loves this is that DJT will make vierership that is in the toilet, SOAR, at least for a few hours. Trump does not need the fake news. The Fake News need Trump.

That is a fact.

Expand full comment

Louis, the "debate" from CNN is not illegitimate, because the fake news is not capable of anything but fakery. Then you once again say something entirely simple minded.

"will Trump say something crazy"

Did it occur to Louis or Beaconites that just because you do not comprehend what is said, does not render it crazy. It renders you incapable of comprehension. That is somewhat explained by a short tenure off the Dem Plantation, but really its getting tiresome.

This is yet another screaming CANARY IN A COAL MINE warning that America has fallen, and things are about to get a LOT WORSE.

The once greatest "beacon of light" to the world - a simple thought that the living in Freedom and Democracy is achievable has been snuffed out and a black cloud of totalitarian thug psychopath billionaires call the shots (including the tocic one coerced into your arm).

So let's be CLEAR. What caused this?

The answer is SIMPLE.

Even the most carefully and beautifully crafted high level laws, such as the USA Constitution or Canadian Charter of RIGHTS and Freedoms become NULL and VOID when there is NO RULE of LAW and NO enforcement.

So with restoration of responsibility and a clear Rule of Law with ENFORCEMENT all is lost.

Yes ALL is lost.

Want CLEAR examples.

Let's look at the extreme violation of the USA Constitution by the WIDE OPEN border where illegals and foreign soldiers arrive forming terrorist groups to destroy from within.

This was CLEAR act of TREASON. And yes, ALL whom sat in power in WASHINGTON looked away and DID NOTHING.

Frankly, had the Rule of Law existed literally after the obvious, America could have SENT in the military and police into the homes of ALL in politicians in Washington DC.

THEY ALL SHOULD HAVE been found guilty with only three circumstances outcomes.

1. Death for TREASON

2. Considerable Jail time

3. You're fired with ALL assets and pensions seized.

Because UNLESS the RULE of LAW applies to everyone, get use to your minion slave life.

Oh ya, did I forget to say that BOTH Bush president's, BOTH Clinton's, Obama, Gates, Bourla, Bancel, the WEF/WHO/UN NGO thugs, FINK, Rothschild's etc should all be EXECUTED for Crimes against humanity and TREASON.

After all they have crafted and planned this takedown of humanity as well as the corrupt neocons that plunge America into eternal war.

After all you either LOVE all humans because without humans, there is no humanity. Or you are one of the people of evil and HATE and want the innocent masses exterminated.

Unless the world wakes up, and fast- it will get a LOT WORSE. Because the Rule of Law is not enforced and the rich and powerful are exempt to murder, terrorize, human trafficking, take kids as sex slaves and commit crimes against humanity.

Call it MADE IN USA.

God bless America, because at no time in history are there more meaningful prayers .

Ps I am outraged by WHAT HAPPENED to RFK at rhe hands of CNN and those thugs, but not surprised as it is just another example of the ongoing thug club and no rule of law.
