U.S. Politics, October 2024 -- “They smear because they fear”

Throughout his time as vice president, Quayle was characterized by some media outlets and journalists as being unprepared for the position. Given his position, his comments were heavily scrutinized for factual and grammatical errors. Contributing to this perception of Quayle was his tendency to make public statements that were either impossible ("I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future"[2]), self-contradictory ("I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy, but that could change"[34]), self-contradictory and confused ("The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. ... No, not our nation's, but in World War II. I mean, we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century, but in this century's history"[3]), or just confused (such as the comments he made in a May 1989 address to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). Commenting on the UNCF's slogan—which is "a mind is a terrible thing to waste"—Quayle said, "You take the UNCF model that what a waste it is to lose one's mind or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is").

Kind of reminds me of how the press treated a more recent VP.

Wow. WOW.

I don’t know if I’d trust that man to deliver a pizza!

If these debates don't matter, why didn't Walz just say "Yes, I would force catholic hospitals to provide abortions. THEY'RE FUCKING HOSPITALS!" Would have felt so good.

I think the general gist is "they don't move the needle, but we should avoid doing things that might hurt us nonetheless".

i wish he'd have said "nope, we are cancelling CAtholic HOspitals"

Walz coulda just kept going and going: "Lemme get this straight: somebody's fucking CONSCIENCE is worth more than somebody's fucking LIFE??!!" Would have been an epic rant. It's sure as fuck what I was thinking.

yr hardcore xtians would say "yes, obviously! your immortal soul, hello?!"

There was a lost moment when Vance said something to the effect of "The American people voted in Harris" and Walz should've jumped on that like a dog on turkey, "So you ADMIT THAT SHE WON!" etc., but he let it slide

he's a dick and he's drowning slowly

applauds

don't want to appear to kink shame in any way shape or form but JD's eyeliner squicks me out and I just don't understand why he do that or what he hopes to achieve

trying to impress Jodie Foster

As a devout Lutheran, Walz should have called the pope the Antichrist, but I’m afraid Vance would have agreed with him.

🖼

he played the Termite of Temptation

Brian Eno is in every Mad Max movie, but in the background, and only if you *want* to see him.

Eno does "Ambient acting"

He's only in those movies sometimes, he takes breaks now and then

Marquette poll has Harris holding steady with a 4-point lead in Wisconsin.

Rick Perlstein on ...undecided... voters is pretty good.

"Do you support a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran?"
Walz: That question is fundamentally fundamental.
Vance: I'm glad you asked. You see, my mom smoked crack-#VPDebate2024

Looks like the October surprise dropped

and it's about Dougie

?

NY Post story that he slapped his ex-girlfriend at a Cannes event.

Daily Mail were the ones who took the report

It's so far only running in right wing outlets, shocker

lol

Where is that? Not Madison, right?

My kid covered the Harris rally there last week for the college paper. Also got to interview the mayor and shake Tony Evers' hand. *The* Tony Evers!

Waunakee

But, I mean, suburban Madison. Definitely Democratic territory.

Is that the Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance guy?

I've lived in Wisconsin most of my life and I have no idea where some of these towns he's visiting are

btw I have also shook Tony Evers' hand, all I can say is Hank Hill would not be impressed

It's kind of insane how frequently both candidates are showing up in Wisconsin doing events. Can there really be that much added value at this point? I think basically everybody is massively overindexing on Clinton not doing a Wisconsin rally in 2016 as if that was the main thing that decided the election.

what else are they gonna do?

Depending on where in WI they go, local broadcast markets also serve western MI.

"Little Mascara" vs Tim

JD w/o the eyeliner would be revealed to have little, recessed, pigish eyes.

people clown on Trump for wearing a shitload of bronzer but he looks really bad and strange without it

The pig races at the WI state fair had bigger crowds than that Trump rally reddit pic

Trump has rallys all the time, pig races only happen once a year.

don't panic. the fix is in for mr. trump and jd vance, esq.!
