My political take

So a container ship runs into a pylon and takes down a bridge. I have been on this planet for 56 years and this, to my knowledge, has never happened in the United States. Well now it has, what is the bullshit and what may have actually happened?

The Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore crosses the Patapsco River into the Port of Baltimore. Interstate 695 circles Baltimore. Until the bridge collapsed anything flammable or explosive had to take I 695 because the shortest route, I 95, runs thru the harbor tunnel. Apparently you can get a special license to travel I 95 north thru the tunnel but there could be limitations on time of day or how many at one time sort of deals.

Let’s talk about the container ship, the Dali. Before striking the bridge it was having power issues and you can see in the video lights blinking on and off and it suddenly veer into the path of the pylon. I watched the tracker video, the Dali comes out of port turns to the right then swings around and does a 180 degree turn in the channel to head to the bridge. Speeds start at around 3 knots and get up to 8.71 knots and slowing to 7.76 before hitting the bridge.

Here is my take. This smells like a field full of cow patties. I came across a video on X and MeWe that clearly shows two and possibly three explosions at the top of the bridge structure just as the Dali hits the pylon. I have read articles that say, a container ship can take out a bridge and no they can’t. You can also pay someone to say whatever you want them to, to get your point across. Remember Pfizer was buying up all the commercial time for the “vaccine”. Why did they wait until a minute and a half out from hitting the bridge before signaling mayday? Could someone have been just turning the lights on and off to feign a power outage? Why was there a huge billow of smoke coming from the smoke stack just before the Dali hit the bridge? The ship didn’t veer to the right and in the path of the pylon until that billow of smoke happened!! Were you not on course to hit the pylon as instructed? If the Dali had a complete power failure the 1.5 minutes before hitting the bridge, why didn’t it continue to list to the left and why did it turn to the right? The captain said he dropped both anchors. Now the anchors would not have stopped the ship immediately but wouldn’t the direction of the ship remained constant in the direction it was heading? Why not drop one anchor? The captain said the propulsion system was turned port/left, dropping one anchor would have helped turn the Dali to port. Did the ship have redundant power systems in place in case of an emergency?

As I just learned, the last major accident like this happened in the 80’s in the Tampa region. The new bridge built there has “dolphins” installed to prevent the same thing from happening. A dolphin is a group of pilings arrayed together to serve variously as a protective hardpoint along a dock, in a waterway, or along a shore; as a means or point of stabilization of a dock or bridge. Why weren’t these installed at or around this bridge given its location and strategic importance to the east coast of the U.S. The four bridges in the Philadelphia area are protected. The Delaware Memorial Bridge between New Jersey and Delaware planned for twenty years for it’s protection, again why didn’t anyone from the government see this as a red flag safety issue. Were local, state and federal officials bought off or silenced in an effort to keep this from happening? In the end my take is, this was set up!!

So we have all been seeing the lawfare by the Left against President Trump play out since February. Classified documents. E. Jean Carroll. New York fraud. Georgia. As it plays out you sometimes can’t fathom the stupidity that vomited out of these cases.

We have this thing, you may have heard of it, the Constitution. The law of the land. Ratified by the colonies in 1788. The framework on how the government operates. What it can and can’t do. Who has what power. Checks and balances. It seems to have worked for 228 years out of a possible 246 years. Apparently President Trump skewed the whole space time continuum in 2016.

So let’s talk about these lawyers and lawyers who become judges. You want to be a lawyer be prepared to spend 3 to 7 years of your life to get to the finish line. You will need to spend upwards of $193,000 to get that piece of paper. To become a judge it could take decades before you are appointed or elected. Miriam Webster: Judge, to form an opinion about through careful weighing of evidence and testing of premises.

The Constitution, being the law of the land and the Supreme Court the interpreters of the Constitution, here is basically the mission statement. EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW”-These words, written above the main entrance to the Supreme Court Building, express the ultimate responsibility of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Court is the highest tribunal in the Nation for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or the laws of the United States. As the final arbiter of the law, the Court is charged with ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution.

Here is my take. I am no lawyer. It seems pretty basic. You have a law and a possible punishment. Jaywalking, $50 fine. How could you interpret it any other way? The second Amendment, shall not infringe. Again, how could you interpret it any other way? The Left does all the time. “It means hunting.” ” They are referring to muskets.” They try to “work around” everything. In the 2A case they went after the credit card companies to make a “list” of who bought guns. The Supreme Court has ruled against them and yet here we are some guns are banned in some states. They do this to get as many guns away from as many people until the case goes to the Supreme Court again and again.

Where did some of these people go to law school? Did they get their degree from a box of cereal? Is there some sort of cognitive dissonance? Are you drunk with power? Who do you owe money to? Does someone have video of you doing something you shouldn’t have done? Tell me where is the equal justice when the idiot in New York, Engoron, won’t allow a jury or some evidence be submitted? Where is the rule of law? Thrown out the window. We might as well call the Constitution null and void since the Left can make up any laws or interpretations they need. Your vote matters in November. Viva la Constitution!!

Well right now I will have to give a shout out to the X-22 report. This is an ohmage to the work he has done. Secondary shout out to Dan Bongino for his reporting on this subject. In Dan’s books, Follow The Money and Spygate The Attempted Sabotage Of Donald J Trump, Dan lays out the ground work how the system works and how they tried to take out 45.

Old knowledge, the day Donald Trump rode down the escalator and announced he was running on the Republican ticket, the left freaked out. More or less it was the establishment. Washington D.C. the Bush’s, the Clinton’s, the Obama’s, the lobbyist’s, the donors. “He won’t make it out of the primaries”. ” He is not serious”. We should all know by now his campaign was spied on, fact. Steele Dossier, paid for by Hillary Clinton. Fake pee, pee tape, again facts. Not innuendos, Congress proved it.

In 2020 Dan Bongino released Follow The Money, where he laid out how Obama authorized spying on the Trump campaign. How the CIA used their London office to facilitate the “program” Oops, wasn’t Christopher Steele a former MI6 agent?? Who was head of the CIA office in London at the time Gina Haspel. When did she serve as CIA chief? May 21, 2018–January 19, 2021. Under President Trump. Why did she block FIOA requests regarding Russia Gate? Why did watermelon head, Schiff, come out with a disparaging media rant the day the Nunes memos came out in 2017?

Here is my take. Dan Bongino hasn’t come out with anything new at this point, he has a source close to what happened. This source or another source just came out and reaffirmed what Dan was telling us in 2020. With all the cloud and shadow surrounding the 2020 election from the Left. “Count all votes”!!! ” The most secure election ever”!!!! We know it was stolen, period end point!!! We are talking about 65% of the people in the United States believe 2020 was stolen. How hard did they try to cover it up? Very hard. How much pressure can the average person take before they break? How much evidence adds up before a willing accomplice comes forward? How many people have to suddenly die to protect the guilty? The bottom line is, are you willing to do your due diligence and look at all of the evidence adding up, regardless of what the media says? Are you willing to throw your preconceptions out the door of a man, who is not perfect, to find the truth? Your truth is out there, you need to find it on your own, not at the behest of someone else.

The Smith Mundt Act first passed in 1948. A quick internet search and you will find: The Act was developed to regulate broadcasting of programs for foreign audiences produced under the guidance by the State Department, and it prohibited domestic dissemination of materials produced by such programs as one of its provisions. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, which was introduced in 2010 and made part of a larger piece of legislation in 2012 will let people across America see and hear the valuable news reported by the Agency’s accomplished journalists.  It takes into account modern content platforms that are not restricted by national boundaries, such as the Internet, mobile delivery and satellite broadcasting.

Leading up to its passing. Congress harbored significant reservations about empowering the State Department to propagate informational and ideological materials to the American public. in February 1946, committee Chairman Eugene Cox (D-GA) informed Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs William B. Benton  that ten of the twelve committee members were against anything the State Department favored because of its “Communist infiltration and pro-Russian policy”. Other comments were similarly tough. The ranking minority member of the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee, Rep. John Taber (R-NY), called for a “house-cleaning” of “some folks” in the State Department to “keep only those people whose first loyalty is to the United States”. Congress, in recommending passage of the bill, declared that “truth can be a powerful weapon”. Congress further declared six principles were required for the legislation to be successful in action: tell the truth; explain the motives of the United States; bolster morale and extend hope; give a true and convincing picture of American life, methods, and ideals; combat misrepresentation and distortion; and aggressively interpret and support American foreign policy. As a Cold War measure, it was intended to compete with propaganda from the Soviet Union  and communist organizations primarily in Europe. The principal purpose of the legislation was to engage in a global struggle for minds and wills, a phrase used by Presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

That being said propaganda has been used for ages. The Trojan Horse is the first thing that comes to my mind. The Greeks lay siege to Troy for 10 years with no avail. They built a wooden horse as a trophy for the Trojans as a departing gift. The Greeks hid inside the horse and opened the gates to Troy after the horse was pulled inside the city. The Greeks decimated the city.

Propaganda during World War II. Used for the war effort to keep morale high, promote war bonds and let people know how they could contribute. The State Department collaborated with Hollywood to make films that fit what they wanted to public to see. Leaflets and radio overseas were used to let the Axis powers know how to surrender where bombs were to be dropped. Leaflets also dropped had counterfeit ration books, stamps and money. Don’t think for a second the U.S. government is the only government to use propaganda, they all do. It depends on the agenda needing to be achieved.

So our updated Smith Mundt act in 2012 signed into law by Obama, the modernization of Smith-Mundt will facilitate global connectivity and audience engagement and will provide greater transparency into publicly-funded broadcasting. Our journalists must abide by legally mandated broadcasting standards and principles to present accurate and objective news and information.  The U.S. Agency for Global Media responsible for the updated act states:  USAGM networks are legally mandated to present accurate and objective news and information. All of the networks are considered vital, objective news sources and are frequently cited by major media, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Miami Herald, and CNN, for their high-quality reporting.  

Here is my take. The fact the State Department has it’s dirty hands in this is my first flag. Although they can’t by law put out American propaganda in the United States, who is to say the propaganda laid out overseas isn’t picked up by the said media outlets listed in the previous paragraph and disseminated inside the United States. Can you say work around. Obviously all of these bureaucratic agencies have learned lessons over the years that benefit them. What to put out, how to frame it. Look no further than the Steele dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton to try and take down President Trump. Completely fake, made up and shoved down our throats by the media that is supposed to be unbiased, fair and don’t forget legally mandated to present accurate and objective news. Tucker Carlson going to Russia again proved our media is being manipulated. I am not even talking about the Putin interview. His trip to a Russian supermarket again showed the media lied. We were told by the media the sanctions against Russia were working, the shelves were empty and the Russian people were ready to take Putin out. Ukraine winning the war is our only objective. Sound a little familiar? Remember we were told, by the media, there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. How many were found? Remember we were told, by the media, who perpetrated 9/11. Osama Bin Laden the mastermind and like 8 dudes with box cutters. The media lies, period!! You must find your own truth in every story. How do you do that, research outside the bounds of the regular media.

The 2024 Election is going to be here faster than you think. Here we are and the Left is still throwing lawfare at President Trump. Eight years of bashing this man and they still haven’t learned their lesson.

Where do you start. Well in 2015 when he came down the escalator of Trump Tower and announced he was running as a Republican. The media announced he wasn’t a serious candidate, it was about self promotion. What happened during the primaries? We wound up with low energy Jeb Bush and fat Chris Christie along with fat pig Rosie O’Donnell. Plenty of fodder for the MSM or fake news.

Things ramped up from there. Once the President Trump became the nominee the news media polls had President Trump loosing to Hillary Clinton by double digits every week. By the time the 2016 election rolled around it was a foregone conclusion that Hillary Clinton was going to be President of the United States.

Once President Trump won the election, remember the that is when the Steele Dossier came out, the Trump pee pee tape. Don’t forget the FBI’s Peter Strokz and Lisa Page declared that Trump wouldn’t be President for long, there was a back up plan. Well guess what, that back up plan bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, failed.

Once in office President Trump didn’t get any help from his own Republican swampy compatriots. He was backstabbed at every turn. Remember the border wall? He wanted 5 billion to build the southern border wall. What did Nancy Pelosi tell us? We couldn’t afford 5 billion, it was too much. President Trump had to fight Congress and wound up suing to use Department of Defense funds to start the wall. How much have we sent to Ukraine? Do you want a kick to the nuts. We have “given” Ukraine 75.4 billion in aid from January 24th 2022 to October 31 2023. When is that too much?

Here we are to present day. We have a documents case. We have an insurrection case and a rape case all against President Trump. Lawfare plain and simple. Use the threat of a suit or an actual suit to make him go away. If they don’t win hopefully it will cause enough monetary damage in fees and damages he won’t survive and have to drop out. This is the end game.

Here is my take. They will try to destroy President Trump at all cost, lives be damned!! How sad, power has corrupted them so badly and to keep it they will destroy anyone and I mean anyone to keep that power. United States citizens, fuck you. The 34 billion debt, fuck you, we will make it 35 billion. Feign a border crisis and let millions in to get them re-elected. Can you see it yet? Are you willing to vote for the man that is apparently the devil re-incarnate? At what point do you wake up? Every attempt to take President Trump has failed! Damned near everything he has talked about has come true. Like conspiracy theories the last four years. How stupid to you have to be to continue down this path? Proceed at your own risk !!!!

So the European farmers have had enough of the Green New Deal and climate change pushed down their throats. I think they are at the breaking point and the governments are feeling the pain. Farmers in France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Italy and Ireland have taken their combines from the fields to the streets to protest all of this climate bullshit that the so called elites are pushing.

So let’s revisit this heaping pile of dung called climate change. When I was a small kid in the 70’s we were supposed to have another ice age. In the early 80’s acid rain was going to reek havoc on the planet. The 90’s it was global warming and all of Al Gore’s predictions of doom and gloom, in “An Inconvenient Truth”, never came to pass. Now it’s climate change, we need to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or we are all dead in 5 years, wait no 8 years, my experts say 15 years. Greta’s doom calendar ended in 2023. I think we are all still here but that tweet was deleted.

The dreaded CO2 monster that is going to kill us. The thing that all plants need to aid in photosynthesis to help them grow. What is the by-product of photosynthesis? Oxygen, you know the thing that we breath in everyday all day. Oh wait, what do we exhale, carbon dioxide! So let me get this straight, we seem to have a symbiotic relationship with plants.

Carbon dioxide makes up 4% of the earths atmosphere. On the flip side if we take it down to 2.8% we kill ourselves. The climate crazies are always talking about our carbon footprint, what about all the CO2 emitted by the planet itself, how come that isn’t an issue? From Science magazine, September 2018, Scientists estimate that volcanoes worldwide emit, on average, about 1.5 million metric tons of CO2 per day. There are usually about 20 volcanos erupting at any one time out of 1500 that are considered active. We then have the constant volcanic activity in and around the tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s crust. So carbon dioxide has been pumped into the atmosphere as long as the planet has been around. The elites think us pesky human race with our carbon emissions are going to take down the planet. There is only one God and it is not them!!

Here is my take. France started protesting because of an insanely high tax on fuel. Macron called up 15,000 police to keep the farmers from shutting down Paris. What happens when no food makes it’s way into the big cities, he’s got a problem. Germany has power issues, they shut down their coal and nuclear plants. The Netherlands is seizing farm land to build housing for immigrants. Ireland wants to cull 20,000 head of cattle in the name of climate change. We all need food to survive. If it’s not in the store all of these climate wackos are going to have a reckoning coming their way. Hungry people that have never experienced not having food will act a whole lot differently than what they normally do. People that once supported your call for change, may be calling for your so called “head” if they can’t get food. Fuck with the farmers and see what it gets you, pain!!

It’s about damn time. Finally Governor Abbott decided to do something about the border he is supposed to protect. We all should stand up and salute the flag for what the national guard in Texas is doing. New estimates put the number of illegal immigrants at 22 million.

Biden finally came out and said there is a border crisis and guess what there is a plan in place to solve the problem. First he had to blame President Trump. There is a Senate bill, if passed that would allow between 5,000 and 8,500 illegals in the country per day. Biden could cap that depending on his mood and totally shut down the border if someone gave him ice cream. Five thousand a day released into the country. That is 150,000 a month!! That is one million eight hundred thousand per year. I think there are immigration laws on the books and in the Constitution?????

The border patrol union chief just came out and said that his union would not support any directive from Biden and they support the Texas national guard.

Twenty five states have signed on to help Texas defend the border and of no surprise all 25 are Republican governors. Some of them are RINO’s which surprised me but we will take it. Troops, equipment and supplies are on their way to Texas.

Here is my take. Greg Abbott, why the hell did it take you so long to do this? People in your state have been clamoring for this for years. How many pictures of rape trees did you have to see? How many fentanyl over doses were reported to you before you decided to act? Charlie Kirk tweeted out you have shown a lot of restraint before you acted. To me it is more dereliction of duty on your part!!!! Trying to save your ass seems more to the point!

Greg Abbott aside, we are also witnessing political theater. How can either side inflict as much pain and suffering before an election to garner votes. The left has been doing this for years. Call your opponent a racist, homophobe, genocidal maniac and the Republican will back down without fail. Finally with President Trump someone had the balls to call them out and fire back at them , putting their ass to the flame!! Read Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals and you will understand.

Mr. Union Chief, please give me a break. Your union has been appeasing Biden since he “assumed” office. The people you are in charge of have been breaking the Constitution since day one. It seems to me you have a bunch of followers, not leaders. We have all seen videos of your employees raising the razor wire to let illegal immigrants in the country. Watching as they run thru breaches in the border. So why haven’t you been fired or more to the point told to resign by Biden because of your insolence to the regime?

Do you want a real kick in the balls? Epoch Times is reporting that the U.N. you know the United Nations, the peace keepers just spent 17 billion, in one year, to aid in migrants wanting to relocate to other countries. So our tax dollars and let’s be a little more specific, we pay for probably 90% of the U.N. is helping to facilitate the problem at the border with our tax dollars. In Venezuela you get a phone. A rechargeable debit card to the tune of $800 a month paid for by the U.N. and help to navigate your way to the country of your choice, disgusting. November can’t come quick enough.

So the Iowa Caucasus happened on Monday President Trump won with 50% of the vote. Period, end of statement. I think if you can add with general math you would say the people of Iowa have spoken and the choice is clear, they want President Trump in office in 2024. Since President Trump declared all of the polls have him winning all the states by massive numbers, Iowa was no different with a 30 point win.

DeSantis spent 31 million in Iowa ads. Haley spent 23 million in ads and President Trump spent 18 million. Haley, who came in third came out and said that the Republican race is clearly a two person race now. DeSantis, who came in second, said 50% of people don’t want President Trump in the White House. Team DeSantis also complained of election interference based on the race was called for President Trump in 30 minutes.

Vivek Ramaswamy ended his run for the White House right after President Trump was declared the winner and endorsed President Trump. I find it funny even though Chris Christie dropped out before the caucus he managed to get 30 votes. “Other” got 85 votes.

Here is my take. New Hampshire is right around the corner. I think the same result is in the making. Nikki Haley called the people of New Hampshire more educated, so exactly what are you saying, Hillary, I mean Nikki? DeSantis claim of election interference, did you forget when Arizona was called for Biden after 30 minutes in 2020. Are you so tone def you haven’t heard President Trump call election interference since 2020? The media and candidates are all about the polls. There is a poll for everything. Remember in 2016 ALL of the polls were calling Hillary the winner months before the election. President Trump declared for 2024 on November 15, 2022 and every poll, has had him winning by 30, 40 or 50 points. These numbers aren’t even close. President Trump lost the Iowa caucus in 2016 by a couple of percentage points, like 2 points!! Haley and DeSantis are delusional in their perspective after Iowa loss speeches, they didn’t lose by two, they lost by 30!!

So then the question becomes why are you in the race? Money? Fame? Notoriety? Neither one needs none of those three things. What else? Are you doing it for the people? Seems like a far cry from the truth for me. Come on Liz, damn, I mean Nikki continuous funding of Ukraine, she supports. Wait wasn’t Nikki on the board of directors of Boeing, you would be correct for $500 Bob. Aren’t they a defense contractor, correct again for $500 Bob.

DeSantis, just doesn’t seem like himself since becoming “Americas Governor” during the “pandemic”. Everything is awkward and weird. Platform boots, who does that. Crazy weird forced laughed. We all thought DeSantis was primed for 2028. It seems it was push, push, push to run now. I am not going to run, then suddenly I am. Let me announce it on Twitter video, only to fail. Why are you here at this point? It wouldn’t have to do with a supposed picture of you with two underage women?

In the end Haley and DeSantis know the outcome, Democrats know the outcome. The People are speaking very loud and very clear. We don’t want the same candidates pushed down our throats.

In a historic move, Kevin McCarthy was just ousted as Speaker of the House on October 1st. Here is the thing, he did it to himself, and now he is acting like a spoiled brat on his way out of the Speakers’ office.

Remember the 15 rounds of voting that ended on January 6th with Kevin McCarthy becoming the 55th Speaker of the House? Pushing and shoving, stare downs and yelling behind the scenes. He made so many concessions to get the job, here they are:

• Any member can call for a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair
• A McCarthy-aligned super-PAC (the Congressional Leadership Fund) agreed to not spend in open Republican primaries in safe seats
• The House will hold votes on key conservative bills, including a balanced budget amendment, congressional term limits, and border security
• Efforts to raise the nation’s debt ceiling must be paired with spending cuts
• Move 12 appropriations bills individually, instead of passing separate bills to fund government operations
• More Freedom Caucus representation on committees, including the influential House Rules Committee
• Cap discretionary spending at fiscal year 2022 levels, which would amount to lower levels for defense and domestic programs
• 72 hours to review bills before they come to floor
• Give members the ability to offer more amendments on the House floor
• Create an investigative committee to probe the “weaponization” of the federal government
• Restore the Holman rule, which can be used to reduce the salary of government officials

Here is my take. In addition to those things listed above McCarthy was supposed to release all of the January 6th tapes. Only a few minutes was released to Tucker Carlson which led to the release of the QAnon shaman from prison. So can you honestly say he did followed thru on much of that list? Speaker Kevin even caved on the debt ceiling negotiations! Hell he did a side deal with the Democrats to fund the government!! Guess who received about $132,000 for her re-election campaign, Lauren Boebert. She was one of those who opposed Kevin McCarthy becoming Speaker, it seems he bought her support. So this dumbass who was so desperate to become Speaker of the House agreed to all of these provisions and is lashing out at members in the House for voting him out! Kevin accused Matt Gaetz of fundraising off of bringing the motion to vacate the chair. Even if he did, you are the pot calling the kettle black. I get fundraising texts all the time from members of your own party every time anything stupid happens in Washington D.C. clown!!!! You couldn’t find it in yourself not to blame your own shortcomings as Speaker. As everyone in D.C. does blame someone else. Tell me how that is working for the American people!! It shows how self serving and self absorbed you are!!

The second GOP debate just happened. What a disaster. The first debate was a disaster. Both debates were won by President Trump, who wasn’t there and there was no need for him to be at the Ronald Reagan library. You can’t even say much for the moderators.

Debate: To engage in argument or discussion, as in a legislative or public assembly. So if this is the definition of debate. The so called debates of the last 12 years or so, on both sides of the aisle, are no more than screaming matches to see who can yell the loudest. Hell even the moderators yell at the live audience and ask stupid questions. Last night one of the Fox moderators asked a question of “Who would you vote off the island right now.” So you want to put a supposed next President of the United States in front of the nation and ask that stupid question. What are we in high school? O’Doyle rules I guess!!! At this point why not put them all in a WWE ring and have them fight it out, over the top rope Battle Royal. You would get better ratings!!

The moderators weren’t up to the job either. Threats of turning off microphones did little to quell the yelling and interrupting. Hey I am all for the hard hitting questions but if you can’t get an answer out of the candidate and let them duck, who are you serving here? Definitely not those who may on the fence about any one candidate. Obviously the pundits and so called experts also weighed in on “toddler debate” number two. How could you pick a winner or a loser from yelling and interrupting. Here is one thing that caught my eye even before the cough, cough, debate happened, Fox dropped advertising rates even before it started!!!

Here is my take. This form of debate is D.O.A. We don’t need it, it doesn’t do any Americans any good to watch it. Scrap the format and move to something like this: You still have all of them on stage and treat it like in the House or Senate. Candidate walks up to podium, moderator asks a question, candidate gets three minutes to answer question. Nobody else has a microphone in front of them. Everyone else gets three minutes to rebut the candidates answer at the podium with the only microphone. You follow suit with each other candidate asking a different question for every candidate. It would put each and everyone of them on the spot at some point!!!
