the other weird thing about not admitting that your running mate lost the 2020 election is even he's been saying it more and more in his own speeches - mr mooch Oct 2, 00:29 1
- That was one large whisker. -- nm - . Oct 2, 00:32
I mean, let’s just be completely dishonest about the economy. That’s fine. -- (pic) - Qale Oct 2, 00:22 [Attachment] 1

“It makes him the very first vice presidential candidate in history who doesn’t know who won the last presidential election.” -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 1, 23:36 1
- Well, I mean ... him and John Adams. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 23:42
"Stop it, you're torturing him." "Yes, I know, and it's f***ing great" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 23:15 2
- "So that unit that got the better of you ... was for shitheels and burnouts." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 23:19 1

"Roughly equal shares of debate-watchers scored JD Vance (42 percent) and Tim Walz (41 percent) the winner, the poll showed." - David Oct 1, 21:57 7

- Michigan swing voters swung by the 2020 election denial -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 1, 22:20
- Not sure I'd say pointless. Feels like Vance cemented himself as the guy for 2028 vs Harris -- nm - TRENDING Oct 1, 22:19 3
  - He’s so not the guy. He’s the fake guy that’s holding someone else’s seat warm. -- nm - Qale Oct 1, 22:48
  - He's not that guy. They'll scrounge around for another celeb. -- nm - David Oct 1, 22:20 1
    - Don Jr. They didn't put sis-in-law in charge of the RNC for just this election. -- nm - jnine Oct 1, 22:23
- I'm unchanged of course, but if you can show two candidates actually debating without berating each other - especially to other countries - worth it -- nm - Max Oct 1, 22:18
Kevin Smith does the “recaps his movies” GQ video. He’s got a couple of great George Carlin stories. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Oct 1, 21:33 [youtube]
so when’s Obama hitting the campaign trail again, with only four weekends left to do it? -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 20:42 1

After a moot court competition at my law school one night many years ago when I was done, I went upstairs and leaned on the railing looking into t -- (edited) - jnine Oct 1, 20:39 9
- Who is it that said the other day that you’re the coolest person we know? -- nm - Mop🧹 Oct 1, 21:37

  - no. she's perfected it. -- nm - mafic Oct 1, 21:00
  - I'm inactive, but I could. I just couldn't take the paperwork any more, but I miss trials. -- nm - jnine Oct 1, 20:59 1
    - I get that. -- nm - pmb Oct 1, 21:12
- why would he be at a moot court?! -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 20:40 2
  - outlaw country -- nm - Max Oct 1, 21:24
  - His wife went to my law school and was a judge on my panel. I guess he wanted to watch her. I didn't see him there or I would have had a hard time - jnine Oct 1, 20:48
Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? Tim, I’m focused on the future. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 1, 20:32
Tim and Gwen going out for a slice -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 1, 20:29

i was supposed to have an outpatient medical procedure this afternoon, I got an early morning call asking if I could come in 2 1/2 hours early because - jnine Oct 1, 20:07 3
- So sorry that happened and I'd definitely complain to someone about the poor treatment. -- nm - Krusty Oct 1, 20:20
- that is assault + battery (criminal if not civil) -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 20:13
- I'm so sorry. -- nm - David Oct 1, 20:12
I’d say it was roughly a draw. Walz improved a lot after the first break, but I think Vance enhanced himself more than Walz did. -- nm - pmb Oct 1, 20:01 4
- I think anyone who was afraid Vance was a total whack job who shouldn't be near the White House grounds feel relieved that should Trump not make - jnine Oct 1, 20:10
- the actual newsworthy thing from his dossier is the campaign only vetted him for any anti-Trump statements, not the crazy podcast shit. hence this -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 1, 20:05 1
  - This was Walz’ best moment and fortunately it was right at the end. -- nm - pmb Oct 1, 20:16
- I agree. I think Vance could have poached some undecideds while walz only mainly solidified base. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 20:03
Early voting will again be available at Texas Southern and University of Houston. -- (link) - Qale Oct 1, 19:59
Sens-Habs had like 80 minutes of penalties in a preseason game. you guys ok over there? -- nm - mafic Oct 1, 19:58 4
- Arber Xhekaj, who is not in fact a poisonous snake, needs to be brought under control -- nm* - Reagen Oct 1, 20:00 3
  - do they suspend people in the preseason? I have a feeling we might find out. -- nm - mafic Oct 1, 20:04 2
    - He already got himself fine for some nonsense behavior a couple of days ago. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Oct 1, 20:07
    - Only everyone who's not a Habs fan would say that. -- nm - Mop🧹 Oct 1, 20:05
the nude Trump statue has been removed -- (link) - Peglegpete Oct 1, 19:55
Happy October 1, I just got my first Turbotax ad e-mail of the year. -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 19:53
the moderators should give a question saying: this is a yes or no answer. you have 5 seconds. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 1, 19:41 1
- Nes! -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 19:41
Vance's closing argument pretty good. I hope walz can take it back. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 19:33
what Trump did to "save" the ACA (it didn't need saving) was allow a bunch of cheap junk plans to sign up customers for peanuts (coverage!) but didn't -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 1, 19:24 6
- There is a faith based health "care" plan that is literally they pray for you for $300 a month -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 1, 20:50
- I mean the easy response was he tried to kill it. He didn’t save it. I do have to say that as weird as Vance is, he’s done a very good job of hiding - pmb Oct 1, 19:30 4
  - He was very good at double speak, and may have even attempted triple and quadruple speak. -- nm - . Oct 2, 00:23
  - he's a Yale law school-trained sociopathic liar. yay for him -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 19:34 2
    - anyway he's auditioning for 2028 more than trying to win 2024 -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 19:57 1
      - Verily. Will not listen to his podcast though. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 20:02
Cat enthralled by debate. Oh wait. -- (pic) - amanda Oct 1, 18:59 [Attachment] 5
- Cute! -- nm - Krusty Oct 1, 19:24
- Girl loves her a warm flame -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 19:00
- If chubbers rolls her eyes any harder at these answers she'll go blind. -- nm - Max Oct 1, 19:00 2
  - She's busy googling "tattooed eyeliner" and "chubby neck size hot pink tie." (Ollie obvs voting for Jill stein.) -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 19:05 1
    - I could see chubbers modeling Bubblegum Goth on the catwalk. -- nm - Max Oct 1, 19:07
I hope “The rules were you guys weren’t going to fact check.” gets some run. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 1, 18:59 3
- so leave then -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 19:15
- I need “ WE ARE PRO WOMEN” to trend -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 19:00 1
  - In my neighborhood, many people have signs that say "in this neighborhood, we trust women." I feel like your "we are pro women" is better. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 19:02
it's 50 minutes. the first 4 minute break should be soon. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 1, 18:53 8
- Just gonna hit the powder room. BRB! -- nm - Vance Oct 1, 18:56 7
  - remember 1 of the rules. no talking to your staff during the break. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 1, 18:57 6
    - Or reapplying guy liner -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:59 4
      - Obviously I've read a lot about the guy liner. I think it's tattooed. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 19:00 3
        
        What about those blue contact lenses. He probably bought them at Spirit Halloween with the Angsty Broken Hearted Vampire Outfit. -- nm - Max Oct 1, 19:03 1
        
        Ohhhh we assumed they are real. Chubs: his eyes are just like mine. Just his are more sultry. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 19:08
        
        That makes so much sense - Pippy Oct 1, 19:01
    - I doubt he deigns to gossip with the make up crew. -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 18:58
It's October 1st so we started our horror(ish) marathon for the month. We didn't have much time so we watched some eps. of Alfred Hitchock Presents. - Krusty Oct 1, 18:49 2
- I know so many people who do a horror movie fishbowl in October. I wish I liked horror but super bloody movies make me actually barf. - amanda Oct 1, 18:58 1
  - We mix it up so it's definitely not just super bloody movies and you can make your own list that doesn't include those kinds of films. - Krusty Oct 1, 19:22
1 week til real Hockey season -- nm - budice Oct 1, 18:38
Walz is quite good actually. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:31 16
- Also an excellent voice. Would listen to his podcasts. -- nm - Max Oct 1, 18:34 4
  - Verily actually. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:41
  - (but when he turns to watch Vance respond, in profile he looks like Don Rickles about to pounce on his target) -- nm - Max Oct 1, 18:36 2
    - Exactly -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:38
    - heh -- nm - mud Oct 1, 18:37
- He found his groove. Had initial nerves -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:32 10
  - He has missed a lot of opportunities. I actually think Vance is winning here. -- nm - pmb Oct 1, 18:45 8
    - I hate that you're right. -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 18:49 1
      - I don’t get why they won’t take credit for what this administration has done. When Vance is arguing about offshoring jobs, why don’t they point out - pmb Oct 1, 18:59
    - I can see that point. The China question was unanswerable -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:47 5
      - Just say “I was there during many protests but I misspoke about the exact timeline. Stumbling around looks bad. -- nm - pmb Oct 1, 18:49 4
        
        Much better on abortion. -- nm - pmb Oct 1, 18:52 3
        
        Slay, Tim. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:52 2
        
        Though not fact checking himself on "murdering babies" was not fab. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:55 1
        
        I give him that one because he said it’s not true and Vance’s gotcha would require reciting something from the statute word for word. That’s a heavy - pmb Oct 1, 18:57
  - yep -- nm - mud Oct 1, 18:33
CUT HIM OFF -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 1, 18:28
The moderator is good at "answer the fucking question." -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:26 2
- Would you separate parents from kids? Kamala Harris Kamala Harris. Again would you separate parents? Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 1, 18:32
- Yasss -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:27
from b2 for mafic: When problems are "user based" that means poor design. - loosilu Oct 1, 18:23 1
- that's for sure a part of it. also partly training and an IT department that really just wants everything locked right the hell down. -- nm - mafic Oct 1, 20:43
Vance is making it really seem like Harris is already president. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 1, 18:21
what channel are you watching the debate on. MSNBC -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 1, 18:18 14
- NBC -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:23
- NBC. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Oct 1, 18:22
- I only have CBS. Vance calling moderator by name is nice craft. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:20 10
  - Rubs me wrong. Like he’s mansplaining to her and not actually addressing the question/people. -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 18:52 5
    - It feels too informal, like he's superior. -- nm - jnine Oct 1, 19:07 2
      - Yup. They are the moderators. Be respectful not (I feel) condescending. -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 19:38
      - I do think it's greasy that he calls walz "Tim" -- walz calls him "senator Vance." Thank you Janine for opening up this topic. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 19:15
    - Fair,VMan. That's a fair point. Thanks for making that point VMan. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:56 1
      - I’m also predisposed to disliking him. -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 18:57
  - He is slick. Sounding like he is answering but he is not -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:21 3
    - he listened to his preppers. Trump didn't. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 1, 18:25
    - My coworker Abby texted me "guy liner and hit pink tie. Is Vance trying to be a gay icon?" A+ Abby. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:23 1
      - L3! - Pippy Oct 1, 18:28
- ABC -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 1, 18:20
Walz found his inner teacher. Much stronger now. Vance also quite good. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:18 10
- Vance better than I’d even imagined -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:22 7
  - Watched a little pre-game on MSNBC and more than one person predicted Vance would come off quite well. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Oct 1, 18:27
  - He's very lawyer. It's impressive. He is so much more articulate than trump. This feels dangerous. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 18:24 5
    - that's the plan, isn't it? -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 18:45
    - Yup -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:27
    - he articulates every nuance of their horseshit quite well. -- nm - mud Oct 1, 18:27 2
      - Vance is now angry enough to count to ten in his head. - Pippy Oct 1, 18:32 1
        
        *tags in from the wings, cracks knuckles, starts baiting Vance* -- nm - Kamala Oct 1, 18:44
- It would be fantastic if he held up a paper with Vance quotes circled in red pen. -- nm - Max Oct 1, 18:20 1
  - L3! -- nm - Pippy Oct 1, 18:22
I have the debate on screen, on mute. By body language, Walz looks to be the more agitated, but Vance looks like a hippie with that beard, so a wash. -- nm - Max Oct 1, 18:16
Quikrete patxh on the Braves uni not fashionable -- nm - budice Oct 1, 18:13 1
- a concrete company patch???? -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 1, 18:26
