Random thought: I wonder if that 23-and-me data gets bought up by the healthcare industry when they go under. 🤔 I wonder what they will do with it when they can know if predisposed to heart disease…

Pikachu face
Pass the bill!
This is probably the best moment of this debate.
one thing I love is walz matter of fact way with things. some people villify regulation but you want to be able to have time to get out of your house if theres a fire. I love hearing a debate with quotes like that. point out the dumb.
Vance won't answer the question about the 2020 election fraud by trump
I love the way vance/trump likes to take credit for the economy they inherited and then blew up just as they left. if, satan forbid, trump got in again any successes will be on the coattails of biden. my devil it still drives me nuts what he did with interest rates which is a dead simple thing for a president to do, which is not to pressure or interfere with the fed.
JD got upset when Tim said Minnesota has the lowest teen pregnancy rate, it's kind of his thing
oh he is ducking the will he certify results as a vice president. ok so I got two good laughs.
Oh yeah, tariffs. Please, increase inflation for all of us who can’t even afford shit now.
And your orange god sources his shitty Wish watches from China, what are you talking about?!?
This has been such a tame debate that the argument my neighbors are having about one of them masturbating to much distracted me.

Stronger locks!!
Good lord, what a moron.
Vance, that's Congresses job not the vice presidents
I can’t watch anymore. Vance is riling me up too much and I’m not seeing enough pushback.
Cheers all, it’s been … interesting.
Well, what about Facebook though? What about censorship? What about that baby hippo on Tiktok? What about Flintstones vitamins?

walz is owning this one. he is doing great and vance goes between evading and just lying. Hes better and more consistent with his lies which makes this no where near as entertaining as the presidential debate.
did vance just say he thought the american people don't know much about him or waltz???

Okay, guys. I get it. You're both way into Jesus.
But did you know that JD Vance's family was working class and his mom was an impoverished, absentee, addict? He's only said it like 30 times so it's pretty easy to miss

Solar panels from China make “dirty” clean energy, while American fossil fuels create “clean” dirty energy.
PBS pundits are complaining that they were too nice to each other and agreed with each other too much. Sigh.
Moderator: "How do you stop gun violence?"
Vance: "Stronger windows in schools!"

Senator Vance, are you a traitor?
Forget everything I said before. I have a new answer now. I will go back to my old answer the second I step off of this stage. You aren’t allowed to fact check me.
How will we handle child care at a federal level?
Vance: Long stream of bullshit, followed by “give federal money to churches.” Tax credit? Paid leave? Fuck you.
Will the fly be there to fact-check?
We'll have tremendous healthcare, and I'll make China pay for it!
Vance: "Build the wall."
Yeah, no... I don't think you understand how big the southern border is or what terrain it's on, pal.
Waltz really just needed to say "I goofed." And moved on. That was embarrassing.

Excellent answer. Humanizing the issue, giving practical information, and raising project 2025.
“Shortage” more like venture capitalism and artificially limiting supply.
Do people actually believe the Vice President can single handily pass legislation?

Call ing out Vance’s disdain for trump, good
Walz just dropped the pet eating bomb back on JDs head.
There’s the attack on intelligence by dismissing PhDs by basically calling them stupid and replacing intelligence with “common sense”, feels before reals.
The “experts” said shipping jobs overseas would save Americans money?
That wasn’t experts, that was business lobbyists and CEOs who wanted higher profits.
