Trump & Biden To Be Muted During Next Debate, President Calls Move “Biased”

The political world is still reeling from the disaster that was the first presidential debate for the 2020 election. Weeks ago, President Donald Trump and his opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, shared a stage and attempted to answer questions about political topics plaguing American citizens. Instead of a debate, worldwide viewers were met with over-talking, interruptions, insults, and attitudes as both Trump and Biden subtly battled it out for the chance to speak. Things will reportedly be changed the second time around in an effort to not repeat mistakes of the past.

We missed out on the second debate and instead received dueling town hall meetings from Trump and Biden that aired at the same time. While it did give each presidential candidate the opportunity to answer questions from the American public without interruption, citizens still want to see these two share a debate stage before November’s election day.

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced that another debate is on the books, and they shared the precautions they’ve set in play for the next televised event. “We realize, after discussions with both campaigns, that neither campaign may be totally satisfied with the measures announced today,” the commission said in a statement. “One may think they go too far, and one may think they do not go far enough. We are comfortable that these actions strike the right balance and that they are in the interest of the American people, for whom these debates are held.”

There has been no change in debate rules, but those regulations will be enforced next time around by muting microphones when it isn’t someone’s turn. This will hopefully eliminate interruptions and help the debate go by smoothly. President Trump’s camp is less than thrilled about the announcement.

“President Trump is committed to debating Joe Biden regardless of last minute rule changes from the biased commission in their latest attempt to provide advantage to their favored candidate,” said Bill Stepien, Tump’s campaign manager. “This was supposed to be the foreign policy debate, so the President still looks forward to forcing Biden to answer the number one relevant question of whether he’s been compromised by the Communist Party of China.”

The next presidential debate is reportedly scheduled for October 22.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
