OK but what if they mute BOTH of the mics for the whole debate? Has anyone considered that?

@futurebird I can't get to the Irish oddsmaker sites, but I'm wondering if anyone is giving odds on TFG even turning up.

@futurebird An actor friend of mine likes to watch debates with the sound off so he can better see the non-verbal cues candidates are using, either intentionally or not!

Alternate idea: let *me* control the mute button and I will mute whoever is being annoying, lying, illogical, or vague. It'll be fun, I promise!

@futurebird It's not a debate when one side is muted the whole time. 🤣 Seriously though, I think the reason Harris doesn't want/need a mute button is she's going to interrupt the Cheeto whenever he says something stupid.

@whknott So she's just going to talk over him the whole time? I mean I get it but that sounds exhausting. Dude can't complete a single sentence without telling *multiple* lies. It's remarkable. One of the mysteries of nature how it's even possible to pack so much dishonesty into so few simple (often repetitive and vaguely offensive) words.

@futurebird @whknott alternatively (or additionally): enforce weird rules, like mandatory rhyming scheme and verse length. Debate is broadcast on a delay, so only when the rules are respected what they say can actually be heard. Have foreign observers who don't speak the language evaluate that, so they won't be swayed by what's actually being said. On each "mistake", the podium is lowered a bit so the speaker looks shorter.

@futurebird first they give myrmepropagandist control over the presidential debate mic button. Next, they give Pica control over all mic buttons in the world.Sounds like a plan!

@futurebird keep the mics on, but they alter speed and pitch to produce chipmunk voice effects

Trump might like this because he thinks he is better looking that Kamala Harris. I think he'd be doing this...Trump wouldn't actually look this good, but Trump is delusional so...

@oblomov The less true it is the higher the pitch. Corrections are lowered in pitch and get a vine boom sound effect.

@futurebird @oblomov Galaxy brain:* route the mic audio only to the green room* in the green room, the candidates' comments are reread by voice actors, including Jason Lee, Clancy Brown, James Earl Jones, Matthew McConaughey, Julie Kavner, etc., with the actor chosen based on the truthiness of what they said.* audience hears that audio
