#1 Of course not. You should quit listening to the liberal spoon fed talking points.

"Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) skipped the vote to be in Florida ahead of Helene's landfall but supports new funding to refill FEMA's disaster fund."

Last week, as Hurricane Helene was on course to ravage Florida's Gulf Coast, Congress passed a government funding bill without critically needed supplemental disaster relief funding. But Rick Scott didn't lift a finger to fight for it. Instead, Scott opposed including supplemental disaster relief funding and left Washington early.

Little Ricky and Little Marco have a history of voting against any funding for FEMA, then crying and begging for it. Sweet deal for Florida because of course there's always going to be help from Big Daddy. This last go round Little Ricky did it - but I think Marco actually didn't quite so loudly. Ian they both cried about funding FEMA.

But all this goes away once NOAA is disbanded and the words "climate change" are removed from every government document and school text book.

So the GOP cries over what they've done and blame others. Always the same with them. Such irresponsible losers.

Sweet ------- of christ, man! How do you not fall over more often?

Oh this just is too good to pass up!

"the Bircher with a smooth face."

That is Vance.
The sane Vance that says post menopausal women's entire raison d'etre is to raise grand-children. Women should stay married no matter what - keep in mind his grandmother poured gasoline on his grandfather and threw a match on him to kill him - but they stayed married. Oh, and pro-life? Pro forced birth no matter what, and no exceptions if he had his way. Women would be tracked, nationwide.

But in one more example of his contemptuous lying (and of trump) he actually tried to take on the policies Harris and Walz have been pushing as his own. He knows those policies are popular and his/trump/GOPs are poison. Incredible blatant lying.

And some people here think he's just a moderate rock-ribbed "conservative." He's extreme and he remains weird.

An honest man wouldn't be

A trump supporter using this argument is hilariously rich in irony.
You have ZERO room to criticize an honest man's misspeaking when your candidate and his VP are notorious and massive liars.
Walz admitted his mistake.

Neither of you are worth more than this statement.

Vance's biggest problem is Vance's own words and beliefs - which were different last night than they were the night before. But you'll excuse that no matter what he says.

The moderators actually went after Walz for not answering the first time on Tiananmen Square and asked him a second time, saying he didn't answer the first time. You sure you were watching?

BTW Walz was in China 2 months after Tiananmen, and things still were going on, so misspeaking about that doesn't seem to be that important. It's not like a boatload of lies Vance spewed and wasn't called on, or all his positions like cats/dogs, Federal lands, abortion, cat ladies, post menopausal women, Springfield OH's pain directly due to his own words, 25 million "illegals", etc.

Vance is a total reprobate who falsely presented himself as reasonable. He isn't.

JD Vance is the "uncanny valley" of manufactured morality.

"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz saw a significant bump in polling after Tuesday night's vice presidential debate in New York, surpassing Ohio Senator JD Vance in postdebate momentum."

"According to the poll, the Minnesota governor saw a 23-point boost in his favorability ratings, going up from +14 to +37. Meanwhile, Vance saw a 19-point boost in his favorability ratings, going up from -22 to -3."

The same polls found the preponderance of those polled said Vance won the debate.

One thing Vance did in his favor is he came across as likable.

I don't think so. He came across as not too weird and disturbing. It was a low bar to meet. He met it, though. I certainly would not call what he exhibited tonight as "likable", though. Not one bit.

Yuck.

Please feel free to point out what CNN got wrong.

Those who think the moderators broke the rules don't know what the rules stated.

Where do you usually fall on the spectrum?

Irrelevant. The question is what others are seeing.

Wow.
Vance's being hung by his own words and website policy positions already.
Fact checking is destroying him.
He's coming off as a massive liar.
It's looking like it's going to be a bloody morning news cycle for team Trump, courtesy of Vance.

My take:
Walz did OK. I wish he was more forceful.
Vance was more forceful, made some good points, and made me *headdesk* over and over again and again with his lies, hyperbole, detachment from reality, and his synchronicity with Trumpers. In other words he played to the Trump base. He didn't come across as batshht crazy.

Vance was slick. Uncomfortably. I felt revulsion repeatedly when Vance spoke. There was such a discontinuity in Vance. A dissonance.

Not sure what people are going to see or if I'm an outlier.

Why do you?
You prove it every single day here.
That being an example.

Your pretending to be stupid so you can excuse russian actors and agents in their mission to destroy us being another example.

#7 - Ha!

#100 - sure sound like it.

Perhaps he thinks that anyone that doesn't believe like him should move out of the state he lives in or just deal with living under what he deems is the proper way to be, act, live. What he never understood is that you can't protect freedom for one group at the expense of another. You protect ALL groups. You just can't count on always being the one "in power" making the rules. That is the entire reason behind this nation's creation.

That's the fundamental reason for Freedom of Speech for all.
That's the why being separation of Church and State.
This is why we don't have a national or state religion.
It's why there should be no prayer in school, no 10 commandments, and why sex education should be truthful, accurate, and mandatory unless a parent says otherwise.
It is also why ALL rights should be granted to CITIZENS of the United States, and not by a state. We don't have "state citizenship." No one should have different rights based on where they live.

This is basic Civics 101 stuff.

What policy is that?
Give a few examples. Or just one.

I bet almost any other poster knows exactly the answer to that.

Damn.
He really said that.
Thanks, Doc.

(where's the mind bleach?)

One thing that could not be said is "forced to confront his offensive monstrosity."
It's just not that big.

She's a national treasure

Anything that destroys America is good with you.

The next image in that sequence is trump giving the middle finger back - in a weird and unmanly way.

Stein didn't even know how many members are in the House and the Senate - guessing "Congress" had 600. Too many people in America are just too damn stupid.

I have no idea what media Yav watches.

I don't watch twitter.
