  1. “Women are too frail and weak to do a real man’s job,” says placekicker.
  2. “It’s not fair that I don’t get to use 5x the amount of water other individuals use” is certainly a take.
  3. Brewed by Anheuser-Bush.
  4. Natural versus Nurtural.
  5. Shortly into Trump’s term, I attended a talk by James Baker. He was asked for his thoughts on the Trump Admin and his response stuck with me: “He just needs more discipline.” Normalcy bias and giving Trump the benefit of the doubt conspired to fuck the world over. These professional clowns repeatedly reacted to an empty, narcissistic parasite as if he were a normal human being that they, as seasoned politicians and manipulators of powerful people, could control. Whether naïveté or willful blindness or pure hubris, it screwed us.
  6. We’re too late to get in on the Bible gig. But Surly Qurans, Surly Satanic Bibles, and Surly Bhagavad Gitas might be a good racket. Because this ding-dong is walking into a real Establishment Clause problem that’s going to cost the people of Oklahoma a shitload of cash. And I’m more than willing to take what little money those toothless morons have stashed under their soiled mattresses.
  7. “Vote for Trump or mankind will never find itself isolated and miserable on a frozen, arid, lifeless hellscape bombarded by cosmic radiation.”
  8. It’s amazing how ignorant seemingly educated Americans are about the most basic historical facts of this conflict.
  9. Indeed. The best cross I’ve ever seen was an East Texas local counsel who took that “aw shucks” approach and just devastated an expert witness with it.
  10. Yep. I had the same thoughts last night. As a litigator, I would have made Vance choke on his words… and possibly made him look sympathetic in the process. Walz responded with affirmative statements of his own positions and policies, delivered like a regular Joe just trying to do the right thing. My sense is that will resonate better with the people that matter. Walz seemed rough around the edges, but genuine. Vance came across as a garden variety slick, lying politician.
  11. “The only reason dozens of Germans plotted to assassinate Adolf Hitler is because the mainstream media kept telling people that he was Hitler.”
  12. “Which just goes to prove: Americans hate JD Vance.”
  13. Vance is confusing Kamala Harris with Elon Musk.
  14. “INDUSTRIAL SCALE CENSORSHIP!” Vance is more Trump than man now.
  15. And do so in writing. Debates are a test of preparation, practice, and being quick on your feet. You’re time limited and on a public stage. You don’t have time to think deeply, and the best debaters are those who can recite rehearsed talking points smoothly. Literally none of those skills are valuable in real leadership, except on the circular basis that we keep expecting leaders to deliver precanned answers smoothly, despite the otherwise irrelevance of that skill to leadership. I’d rather the candidates be asked about policies in written questions, which they can then address in writing and, if desired, by delivering a speech addressing the points raised in the question.
  16. I agree and this debate is driving me nuts. But I’m a litigator and my absolute favorite part of the job is cross examining smug fucks who think they’re the smartest guy in the room, and exposing their bullshit for what it is. Vance has lobbed up literally dozens of softballs that I would have pounced on. Walz is not that guy, and I think that’s a good thing on balance. His value add is authenticity. And I’m betting that’s more palatable to the American public than a smug lawyer who verbally abuses another smug lawyer.
  17. Walz isn’t built for that. He’s not a litigator. He’s a teacher and a coach, and his comfort zone is anecdotes and practical solutions. He’d make a better leader, but debates test a different skill set (which is why they’re fucking stupid and counterproductive).
  18. It’s funny. In real life, Vance botches basic human interaction and Walz is supremely at ease. But Vance is clearly but for a formal debate setting. Which out to be a huge red flag. Good debater often equates to practiced liar.
  19. “The real problem is that people don’t trust us, the Nazis.”
  20. JD: I need that girls’ night out on the town look. Barber: Say no more, fam.
  21. And yet despite being not just President but Vice President, Kamala Harris couldn’t get ANY policies implemented!
  22. Vance looks like he is on feminizing hormone therapy.
  23. One of Vance’s kids is 7’4”?
