I was unaware that the vice president directly controls food prices.

Phew. This debate does not have enough pee breaks.

oh he is ducking the will he certify results as a vice president. ok so I got two good laughs.

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.

Immigrants making almost nothing and sending everything they make (after taxes) back home and living with 10 people in a small apartment are the problem? Not Blackrock and corporate landlords buying everything on the market?

Vance won't answer the question about the 2020 election fraud by trump

JD got upset when Tim said Minnesota has the lowest teen pregnancy rate, it's kind of his thing

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.

Stronger locks!!

Good lord, what a moron.

Okay, guys. I get it. You're both way into Jesus.

"I've been consistent" says JD.

Consistently lying.

Thank god, they actually muted!

Will the fly be there to fact-check?

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.

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?!?

did vance just say he thought the american people don't know much about him or waltz???

This has been such a tame debate that the argument my neighbors are having about one of them masturbating to much distracted me.

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.

Vance, that's Congresses job not the vice presidents

Sorry... what? Houses are expensive because of diesel fuel prices?

Moderator: "How do you stop gun violence?"

Vance: "Stronger windows in schools!"

We'll have tremendous healthcare, and I'll make China pay for it!

Well, what about Facebook though? What about censorship? What about that baby hippo on Tiktok? What about Flintstones vitamins?

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.

Solar panels from China make “dirty” clean energy, while American fossil fuels create “clean” dirty energy.

here we go. hold onto your buts.

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.

Do people actually believe the Vice President can single handily pass legislation?

They will have the study in 2 weeks. Also, was it done by the evil experts we can’t trust?

GOP was setting the bar low for Vance before the debate, and he easily cleared it, so with low expectations, the consensus will be that he was fantastic. Walz was no surprise, he was fine, so I think folks are going to call it a slight Vance win. It won't matter, neither got hit hard enough, it won't move anything.

“Shortage” more like venture capitalism and artificially limiting supply.

First question is about the Middle East and Iran's attack on Israel. Walz is talking about how we need steady leadership for dealing with that, contrasting it with Trump.

Started a little stumbly, but already seems to be finding his footing.

Waltz really just needed to say "I goofed." And moved on. That was embarrassing.
