One of Biden’s stipulations is that microphones be turned off when their time is up. Trump will still be obnoxious but it will at least be limited a bit.

Stipulation: You will just shut up, man.

Damnit! I spent 3 solid minutes trying to figure out a way to include that. Well done.

I almost think that it would be better if they didn't turn the mics off. Not because it would be more productive but because it would make Trump look terrible.

If you want to see that, just watch the last debate between them. Donnie interrupted and talked over Biden so much It was cringey to watch but his base ate it up I guess. I would actually watch this one if I could listen to Biden, instead of being forced to hear Trump

In their world, rude = strong. Truthful, logical, respectful, thoughtful, nuanced... not in their vocabulary.
