I imagine being picked up with the tongs felt very much like being picked up in the jaws of a predator!
That’s a lot smaller than I had thought Gila Monsters were.

But it’s not just the official debate preparations that has the campaign feeling confident. They also view the sheer number of interviews, press conferences and gaggles that Vance has done as preparation in and of itself, this source added.
“The good thing with JD is that he’s done so much media that he’s been hit with oppo and defended himself so much,” the source told NOTUS. “He does multiple interviews a week where he’s being hit with tough questions. JD is fully comfortable answering the attacks on himself and has experience doing it, whereas Walz does not.”
Being unable to shut up, retorting “nuh uh!”, and/or babbling out rehearsed lies may sound cool to the wannabe tough guys hanging out with Dump, but I hope it falls flat with a general audience.
ETA only a rhetorical genius would think of approaching the VP’s plane for a confrontation when she’s not even inside!

Yes. Words fairly often come out of people’s pie-holes. Wonder-child has to tell things he’s just learned that nooooooobody else knew.

I think Walz is going to psych him out by bringing a couch to sit on in between his turns at the microphone.

GQP, so they can blame the Democrats.
Rape is a crime; a violent, destructive, horrifying crime with life long consequences for its victims. Piss off to hell, JD Vance or will that be inconvenient for you.

It takes a lot longer to get them out of the Solar System, though. So, for gratification in my life time I say we spend the extra money…

seeking to take advantage of a friendly 6-3 conservative majority
I have been reading a biography of John Marshall Harlan, the Gilded Age Supreme Court Justice known as “The Great Dissenter,” and who was the lone dissenter in Plessy v Ferguson (and a number of other important cases having to do with the Civil War amendments to the Constitution). His Plessy dissent was used by the plaintiffs in Brown v Board as a guide for constructing their argument against school segregation.
One of the things that has struck me is how much the Supreme Court of his day was like the Supreme Court of today. Most of the other justices on the Court were from the northeast, and worked as corporate lawyers for the railroads and other large “trusts” of the day. A Kentuckian, Harlan was the only Southerner on the Court when he was appointed, I think the only one who had served in the Union Army, and the only one who had owned slaves. His fellows on the Court, like the Court majority today, seemed willing to twist their reading of the Constitution as far as possible to get their preferred results. Harlan refused to go along, and this was in a day that unanimous opinions were the norm.
It made me feel a little less anxious about our current situation. Someday the tide will turn, even if we don’t live to see it. I just hope the planet hasn’t been destroyed before that can happen.

the campaign changed the story that
they were “coordinating” efforts from charities that routinely do it after
every natural disaster.
Trump Admits “Truckloads” of Hurricane Relief Didn’t Come from Campaign
===
I thought Chump wasn’t supposed to come within 100yds of any charity, since he and his whole family were found to have robbed the ones they were associated with.
If he is coordinating relief efforts (ha ha, the mere thought is ludicrous), I hope the hurricane relief people are keeping a tight watch over the assets.

If post-birth abortions are possible, then after-death executions should be possible as well.
