Rules are rules.

Walz said he's friends with school shooters --- twice.

That was a mistake and he should have went straight to his rebuttal. I’m sure he was not happy with them targeting just him with fact checking. Even though I would say they were disputing a claim not fact checking. He was correct in his original statement about the Haitians getting special treatment. The left appear to care more about the immigrants than the US citizens.

He was right, and now everyone is talking about him fact-checking the fact-checkers.

My .02, the missing questions about the Middle East, Iran, Ukraine, botched FEMA response, inflation and so many other topics that were left off the table made another 3 on 1 debate situation. And JD Vance STILL won easily.

Normies beat the Knuckleheads.

And then he cited a loophole that they were utilizing thanks to Kamala's border "policy" as they cut his mic/went to commercial.

Walz enjoys a stroll during one of his 30 visits to China as a student. June 3, 1989, colorized.

Border Czar that allowed in 13,000 CONVICTED MURDERERS and 16,000 CONVICTED RAPISTS. My DOG can't go anywhere without proof of her vaccinations, and I guarantee these illegals have no clue what a dip tet is.
Oversaw the rollout of $7.5 billion in electric charge stations, of which only 7 were built
Oversaw the rollout of $42 billion in broadband rollout, which hasn't even started

Elon Musk has done more for rural broadband this week than the federal government has done in the past 3 1/2 years. There are so many facepalm moments it's too hard to keep up.

I am surprised that Randall hasn't gone down the following path for one of the two 2024 predictions:

"No Black candidate for President or Vice President has ever lost to a White opponent."



I mean, I suppose it's possible that the Republican party might field a black VP candidate in '24, which would invalidate such a prediction.

It'd be the intelligent thing to do. Actually, fielding a black P candidate and a gay female VP candidate would be the really intelligent thing to do, which... is probably why they won't do it.

(Setting a Google Calendar reminder to re-visit post #20287 in this thread on October 1, 2024.)

Well, here we are four years later. As I predicted, the Republican party was not intelligent enough to field a black candidate for President nor a gay female candidate for VP. Instead, they have nominated an old white man to run against the Dems' young black woman.

At least the old white man had sense enough to select a young white man as his VP. On the downside, however, Vance is a theocrat who has publicly stated on numerous occasions that Braineack and I are both sociopaths because we have no children, and that we should have less voting power than single mothers on welfare because of that.


Brainey, who'd have thought that you and Mrs. Braineack the childless cat lady were actually radical leftists? And you seemed like such a nice couple...

Also, as you know spend all my money on expensive doors and overpriced day-labors instead of gov't propaganda for my offspring.

I've often wondered why Kamala Harris hasn't talked about her family's successful business ventures in Jamaica. It shows initiative and entrepreneurship. Trump can only point to buildings, while Kamala can point to all the people her family has affected.
