The VP debate was pretty good, and JD Vance had all the right answers, and Tim Walz had all the wrong ones.

Tim Walz said he wants congress to fix the border, but we already know that congress won't. (strike against Tim Walz.)

Tim Walz failed to explain a discrepancy over time he spent in China, not that anyone seems to care.

When responding in a conversation about illegal immigration and the economy, Tim Walz said "We need the labor."

Nora O'Donnell said she was covering "what's important to Americans" but she didn't ask them about the assassination attempts or the Biden-Harris admin's collusion with Zuckerberg to censor Americans. Those are pretty big topics that Nora didn't ask about.

JD Vance brought that stuff up though, and I'm glad he did. Tim Walz looked like his mugshot photo throughout the debate, and Vance killed it. I am impressed.

The media doesn't want to report on it and anyone else who cares knows that he's a liar anyway.

More like "we need the cheap labor after having worked for decades to make American labor too expensive."

Nora O'Donnell said she was covering "what's important to Americans"

The Elitists always say the opposite of what they mean. So "important to Americans" really means "important to the Elitists".

but she didn't ask them about the assassination attempts or the Biden-Harris admin's collusion with Zuckerberg to censor Americans.
Those are pretty big topics that Nora didn't ask about.

Of course. They've already memory-holed those. Only us "conspiracy theorists" remember them.

Let's face it. Walz will always looked like his mugshot. The only 2 people dumber than him are AOC and Kamala.

Hello Aaron,

The VP debate was pretty good, and JD Vance had all the right answers, and Tim Walz had all the wrong ones.

If last night's debate was for the title of America's Dancing Queen,
JD Vance would have won it.

Tim Walz said he wants congress to fix the border,

The same as President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and
most other Americans.

but we already know that congress won't.

The US Semate passed a comprehensive immigration bill, and the
US House of Representatives was prepared to do the same, But your
orange clown didn't like it so he got his Republican Speaker of
the House to scuttle it.

(strike against Tim Walz.)

Walz had nothing to do with it, as he is not a member of Congress.
However, he did mention during the debate that he is in favor of a comprehensive immigration reform being passed and signed into law.

Tim Walz failed to explain a discrepancy over time he spent in China, not that anyone seems to care.

He mispoke. Happens all the time when making public speeches.
Sometimes even live and on camera.

When responding in a conversation about illegal immigration and the economy,
Tim Walz said "We need the labor."

Of course we do. That is why our grocery stores are always stocked
with foods from all over the place.

Nora O'Donnell said she was covering "what's important to Americans" but she
didn't ask them about the assassination attempts or the Biden-Harris admin's collusion with Zuckerberg to censor Americans. Those are pretty big
topics that Nora didn't ask about.

Nobody was interested. And Americans wanted to be entertained, not
bored. So the debate continued ...

JD Vance brought that stuff up though, and I'm glad he did.

JD Vance did decide not to answer several questions. And Walz
called him on it, as he should have.

Tim Walz looked like his mugshot photo throughout the debate,

Walz was not trying to win a beauty contest, which is why he has
no mugshot photo to show anybody. However, Donald Trump does have
a mugshot photo, provided courtesy of New York. You can even view
it online - for free.

and Vance killed it. I am impressed.

Vance disqualified himself, by failing to certify the election
results, showing us all he has no respect for our democracy or the
American people.

For Life,
Lee

Yes, because if the Republicans coauthor the deal and promise to pass it,
they will go back on their word if their leader tells them it is bad.

What would she have asked about the assassination attempt? "Do you think
it was a good thing?"

We all have a leader. House members can do whatever they want though, and they do not have to follow their leader.

Example: Rep Molinaro voted against impeaching Biden, but Molinaro still picked up endorsement from Trump for 2024. Trump didn't hold a grudge against Molinaro for not doing whatever helps Trump.

I know you were in favor of the border bill, but understand that a lot of Trump's constituents were not. And Trump has a much deeper, more personal connection with his constituents than any house members do.

This right here is the biggest problem in governance today.

A REPRESENTATIVE should be REPRESENTING the people, and thus have a closer connection to the constituency.

These house and senate contests should be the ones that take up most of our time and energy.

Everything I say to my rep goes in one ear and out the other. And he doesn't even reply, he has monkeys do it for him.

They should have a tally on their desk of how many constituents want things 1 way, and another tally of how many want it another way.

For the vast majority of them, that was only after their Leader Trump told
them NOT to like it. Period.

Over the years, the Presidential race has been so noisey it is drowning out some of the other races that really matter. Maybe that is on purpose?

You know, I got dragged along to a production of Hamilton last night. (I really don't like musicals, but I legit enjoyed it. Aaaanyway...)

I had a similar thought during "The Room Where It Happens"

"The art of the compromise
Hold your nose and close your eyes
We want our leaders to save the day
But we don't get a say in what they trade away"

Is "representation" our opium?

You are the only person I know, besides Alan and maybe Bjorn, who was in favor of the border bill.

How can you say "vast majority?" There's no clear information about which house members were affected by Trump's suggestion.

Also, how can you call Trump their leader? Not all the house members are 100% loyal to Trump. Mike Johnson is their leader.

Trump is sarcastic sometimes and he's wrong sometimes too. I never said that someone who's chosen by God has to be perfect in every way.

This is uber-convenient.

God's not killing anyone for Trump. Democrats are killing people who stand in their way of killing Trump.

At least once but sometimes twice.
