The final Presidential Debate is scheduled to be held in Nashville, Tennessee, between 12noon and 1.30pm, Friday 23rd October, our Australian Eastern time.

A new rule is that Trump's microphone will be muted when Biden is giving his 2 minute opening remark (and vice versa) in each of the 6 fifteen minute segments. See http://www.business-standard.com/article/us-elections/ahead-of-final-us-presidential-debate-new-rules-allow-to-mute-microphones-120102100058_1.html

This should reduce Trump's interruptions while not entirely eradicating them, or him.

The Moderator is NBC's Kristen Walker, of Native American and Afro American extraction, who should therefore give Trump a totally fair hearing before declaring Biden the winner.

Hi Pete,

If I were Biden I simply would refuse the debate.
Why humour a bully and give him a platform.
Let him talk to himself and tell everyone he's won.
Which is what he will do anyway. I'd rather campaign
instead and let him do his showmanship thing.
Poor USA!

Yeah Kirsten Walker, once a registered Democrat, a great admirer of the Obamessiah and from a family who donates to the Democrats on her behalf. Yep I'm sure she'll be totally even-handed.

OTOH, it seems only fair that Biden have somewhere there who'll happily hold his hand, just like Chris Wallace did.

It seems that they won't just be muting Trump. Biden will also be muted. But the moderator won't be so she'll be able to interrupt on sleepy Joe's behalf.

The third debate was supposed to be about foreign policy but that was tooooooo favourable to Trump so they've changed it. After all the only foreign policy Biden know is how to get foreigners to fund his kid's cocaine habit. Look for Trump to turn every second question into something about Hunter's computer and Joe's lies about Burisma.

Of course, many Americans will be puzzled as to why they hadn't heard about these bombshells previously, given that almost all the social and mainstream media are trying so very hard to censor the story. I'm old enough to remember when journalists and the free press were against censorship....the good old day.

Should be fun.

Hi Pete,

Did you happen to watch - "The Trump Show"
on Channel 9 - Tuesday? It was the first
in a three part series. Two more to go.
Not sure if I can continue to watch. Absolutely
frightening stuff.

The swinging door of the White
House was unbelievable. The resignations, people
leaving - incredible - I lost count of the number.
And imagine Donald Jr and Ivanka vying in 2024?

Trump accusing Biden of being corrupt and favours for his son.
When he's got his own family members entrenched in
White House top positions.

That's like the Mafia getting together to bump off the
Godfather for not going to church on Sunday.

The resignations, people, leaving - incredible -
Foxy,
It's called draining the swamp !

Individual,

Nah. it's called demolishing the democratic process
upon which America has been built. And Russia has been
trying to do that for decades and Trump has managed
to do that in one term.

And as for draining the swamp? He's up to his neck
in it? And it's merely a question of when he's going
to go under.
