Debates commission plans to cut off mics if Trump or Biden break rules
The announcement from the Commission on Presidential Debates comes after the first debate between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden spiraled into chaos.

The commission that oversees the general election debates between candidates for president and vice president said Wednesday it will be making changes to the format of the remaining two presidential debates after Tuesday's face-off between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, was marred by frequent interruptions by the president and mud-slinging.
Thank. ****ing. God. If nothing else, only the candidate whose turn it is should have their mic activated.
In a statement following the presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio, the first of three scheduled in the run-up to the general election, the Commission on Presidential Debates said the event "made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues."
Massive understatement, but I'll take it. America deserves better than the shitshow trump gave us last night.
