Of course, you’re watching the Vice Presidential Debate tonight (CBS at 9 p.m.) I’m hosting a Civil Discourse live chat so that we can watch the debate together.
So frustrated. Just texted with 45 yo nephew who thinks his VA benefits are set in stone. I want to cry for the lack of awareness and understanding. I sent him a portion of the 2025 document about VA benefits to look up. He won’t. I think I was overly annoyed and told him to “understand before you think you know”. I’m not good at this talking with others, little patience. A fall short.
Have dear family members who , despite evidence to the contrary, trump is their political.messiah! Cult Pool Aide guzzlers to the core. Am very concerned for the possibility of violence on.the horizon if the election does not go his way.
Keeping fingers crossed and hoping for a peaceful outcome!
Not true. 18% of Republicans did not vote for tRump in 2016. He gained office from support of Independent and even Democrat voters. Considering his performance in office and meddling since, it's not surprising how many Republicans have endorsed him. If our brains are locked, it's because of the terrible job he did and the fascist rhetoric.
I'm relying on Walz to showcase his public school teacher, cafeteria monitor, study hall enforcer experiences in dealing with a too big for his britches, unprincipled, duplicitous, misogynistic bully.
Me too or neither, depending on the perspective. Why subject ourselves to the torrent of unchecked lies and insults from Junior Varsity Vance? There's no profit in it.
Last time (Harris-tffg) I just recorded it on C-span & watched the next morning. I refuse to sit thru the "what they will say" pre-debate, then the debate, then the "what they said" AFTER the debate on CBS or any other commercialized channels.
Besides, watched the CBS Morning "interview of Ta-Nehisi Coates ) - it was awful. I always thought Tony Dokoupil was a good journalist (BEFORE he ended up on CBS morning) but his pro-israel attitude and kind of lack of respect for Coates was pretty obvious. Disappointing.
Sorry, but just can't look at or listen to Hillbilly for more than 10-15 sec...will tune in when it's over to check on the overall vibes...best of luck to those of the strong-stomach community!
Looking forward to the wisdom here. Not sure what to expect from Walz as I don’t think he’s an experienced debater, but I sure know what to expect from JD. Looking here to talk me off the ledge!
I saw a clip of Vance in his Senate debate against Tim Ryan (?) and he was getting killed. Yet he still won the seat because Dems didn’t put any money into it.
As a public school educator, saying all we need to do is make the school doors and windows stronger is as ridiculous as saying let’s make the NC Western mountains stronger so they can withstand hurricane catastrophes. NEVERMIND assault weapons and climate change.
Not watching. I’ll check in with my paid Substack subscriptions: Joyce, Heather Cox Richardson, Robert Hubbell, Simon Rosenberg in the morning for their assessments. With the serious escalation today in the crisis in the Mideast won’t sleep well as it is.
I read today that Vance missed the last 45 votes. Now he wants to claim they were so busy impeaching Trump,when all the House had one is hold hearings looking for a reason to impeach Biden. They’ve done nothing else.

I hear your frustration loud and clear, Ms Myers.

Yes!
Political enslavement is a bi-tch. So MAGAs their brains are locked. But let’s be reasonable. Our brains are locked as well.

Go get 'em, Coach!
I've been saying this too. We will see.
I’m going to knit and not watch. I didn’t watch the first one and don’t want to jinx this one!

My son works on the Harris Walz campaign. He’s really impressed with Tim. I’ve watched some of Tim’s rallies on YouTube. I wouldn’t worry.
Go Coach Walz Go!
Good to hear !

We need to see your knitting projects and chickens. I’m watching the debate. And I’ll be knitting.

Rick WIlson too.
Anyone else getting the used car salesman vibe from jaycee?
Yep. If he says Norah’s name once more I’m gonna puke. Does he not know he is speaking to voters?
Strong close by Tim.
Walz's last answer (on J6) was his best yet
I read today that Vance missed the last 45 votes. Now he wants to claim they were so busy impeaching Trump,when all the House had one is hold hearings looking for a reason to impeach Biden. They’ve done nothing else.
I agree! I wish Walz had said ' but you voted against it" more
I just want to slap the smirk off Vance’s face.
When did the job description of VP include fixing housing or food prices? I'm frustrated that this isn't being said
As I said before this is a bad idea. Very hard to try and debate with a liar.
Actually the guns are flowing from the US into Mexico fueling violence there.
I was just going to post that.
