There are people who cut a dog's vocal cords to keep him from annoying them with his barking.
What kind of people do things like that?
Well, people who don't want to hear a doggie's opinion of the cat across the street, of course.
And the Commission on Presidential Debate.
This supposed "unbiased" organization is pulling out all the stops to stop President Trump from talking, short of strapping a muzzle on him.
They'd do that, too, if they could.
There are things they want to keep under wraps. Like China. And Hunter's laptop.
Stuffed to the rafters with Anti-Trump Republicans and die hard Democrats, The Commission is going whole hog to make it tough for the president.
None of this is anything new. We've grown used to seeing the Left lie, cheat and beat up Trump.
Their latest is to cut off the candidates' mics during Thursday's debate, ostensibly to avoid unnecessary interruptions from both candidates, but we know who it is they are really trying to silence.
They should have cut off Savannah Guthrie's mic in her Trump Town Hall performance. And Chris Wallace's, too, in the first debate.
But they had to do what they had to do. If they don't perform the way they are expected to perform, their liberal friends won't invite them to Washington parties.
It's just the same ol', same ol'. So when The Commission chose NBC's Kristen Welker to moderate the final debate tomorrow night, it wasn't surprising. Just disappointing.
Kristen Welker has deep ties to the Democrat Party.
Her family has donated thousands of dollars to Democrat candidates, including Barack and Joe.
In 2004 and 2012, she was a registered Democrat, according to the New York Post, but that information has since been scrubbed.
During Hillary's 2016 presidential run, Welker was caught on a hot mic/live TV, signaling Clinton's comunications director, Jennifer Palmieri, what question she'd ask the candidate.
That makes her perfect for Thursday's Debate.
In America, we always expect to get a "fair shake." We're unapologetically "Half glass full" people." But there's nothing in this political season that can be called fair.
Foreign Policy won't be debated tomorrow night, although it has been the custom to do so.
Instead The Çommission has chosen the topics: Race. Covid-19. American Families. Climate Change. National Security. And Leadership.
Why those? Don't ask. But we do know that with The Commission and moderators from The Swamp in charge, the only other question Lunchbox Joe will be asked is one asked on a campaign stop in Durham, N.C.:
"Mr. Biden. What flavor milkshake did you get?"
Liberals are running scared, and they should be. They have to have seen Trump averaging three or four rallies a night, while Joe snoozed.
They've seen Trump supporters, numbering in the thousands, in boats and caravans coming to support him. And they've heard them chanting, "We love you!"
But most likely they're scared because of the Cookie Poll.
A bakery just north of Philly has accurately predicted the winners of the three past presidential elections. With cookies. And they're doing it again.
Owner Kathleen Lochel tallies the numbers of Trump and Biden cookies sold every couple of days.
"So far, as of 10 a.m. Friday, Trump is in the lead 3 to 1," Lockel said.
"But," she added, "what we are doing is winning for the bakery." The huge Presidential Cookie sales "have made up for losses suffered during the Pandemic," she said, and she has happily had to hire more workers.
Wow. Just wow.
While Joe slept, Donald J. was putting people back to work.
Hold the line, America.
Where We Go One, We Go All
Stay strong, Patriots.
