First, it wouldn't be 'legitimate' wireless communications, it's cheating on a test! Imagine a 'candidate' for Police Officer having an earpiece during their oral boards....NOT Legitimate!

Second, they wouldn't need to 'jam' the frequency, just transmit distracting audio like Sleepy Joe's Greatest Hits/Gaffs, or Hey, Macarena! C'Mon Man....You Know, the Thing!

This ^^^^^

Plus, given his famous lapses in remembering things and forming coherent sentences--even to the point of stumbling over stuff he's seen reading from cards, I can just imagine Joe trying to recite what he hears in that earpiece resulting in a short-circuited version the Telephone Game.

Something like that may work well for cheating at Jeopardy or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but I doubt it'll work well in a debate scenario--particularly with somebody exhibiting diminished abilities.

My bigger concern is Joe's team will be fed the debate questions ahead of time, as allegedly occurred with the Clinton team in 2016.

Why does this concern you? Who’s the president?

^^^ Not only that, but being fed the debate questions ahead of time won't make a bit of difference.
Chris Wallace has already publicly announced the 6 topics to be discussed. Both Trump and Biden will have the opportunity to prepare. Biden can rehearse and memorize and repeat his lines all he wants... he will just come across as rehearsed.

Having an earpiece INCREASES problems with attention and concentration. Simple as that.

I'd say let him have the earpiece, and let it operate as normal. Should there be one in use, Trump's team should intercept its transmissions and record them. He can then play them back for the public to hear.

All this talk of earpieces and such, we are all still assuming Biden even shows up next week.

Was listening to Rush Limbaugh‘s podcast yesterday on my way home from work, and he surmised that the reason why Biden‘s team has suddenly put him back in the bunker is due to the fact that they arrogantly believe they have this in the bag and do not need to campaign much further. That any further exposure of Biden in this next 40 days just opens him up to more public flubs and gaffes which they cannot afford, and that he will most likely drop out at the last second from the debate next week.

If you’ve noticed Angry Kamala has also dropped out of sight, this is very strange for a vice presidential candidate, usually they are the ones out there leading the campaigning for the presidential candidate.

If Team Biden thinks they have this in the bag and they don’t need to campaign any more in the next 40 days, they are just repeating the same dumb mistake Hillary made, I say let them keep doing it!

For the love of God, please stop with that stuff. Just stop it.

The Biden campaign called ANOTHER "lid" for today. Amazing.

I’m Feeling a little down with putting a lid on Sleepy. I’ve become accustomed to the gaffes & miss them.

I’d love to hack the audio feed to Biden’s ear piece. I could have him talking about almost anything. I’d get him going and then urgently say, BUNNY PANCAKE!!! BUNNY PANCAKE!!!!

Wasn't there an SNL skit back in the day with the president having an ear piece for a speech?

Yep, little or no mention of her in the news lately. Truly a bizarre election campaign. I think there may be something to the notion that they don’t feel highly confident that Joe will win and they’re going to try to save Harris for a later run, so this way, she’s not generating a wealth of soundbytes, quotes, and video clips that can be used against her next time. Either way, everything about the way they’re running Joe’s campaign has a really weird feel to it.

It is much more likely that their candidates simply poll better based on their perception rather than the reality. It seems half the country is OK with Joe or Kamala unless they actually hear or see them. It's a bold strategy.

Kamala likes to play to the black crowd and she can't do that without praising and supporting all the BLM bullshit. And that is making sound bites for the President.

Vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris called Tupac Shakur the “best rapper alive” during an interview at the NAACP’s virtual convention Friday — even though the legendary emcee has been dead for more than two decades.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a nice soundbite!

TSE, I think we’re presenting a “chicken or the egg” type situation here. I guess the real answer is: it’s both. If the idea of these candidates is better than the reality, then it's in their best interest to keep the candidates from disabusing their supporters of that notion, both now and in Harris' case, the future.

Oh yeah, Joes's at the top of his game. Ya think the host would have jumped in to help Trump finish his thought?

It cannot be just anyone talking to him. I'll bet you the person on the other end is someone he implicitly trust. The only person that fits is his little sister Jill, so you'll need someone who sounds like her.
