I mean, we all knew it'd be a moderate white dude.

The cynical part of us, yes. But our secret hearts vainly hope someone would just pick the best person for the job, not the best one to win the game.

A white male. I bet he's even straight, too. Gross.

I had no idea who Walz was before the selection, but I like him.

Without Biden around, Trump seems extra incoherent.

A feminist who is voting for Harris pointed this one out to me, so I know it's funny.

Just watch Veep to see how worthless the position is, as far as "executive experience." The only people you're in charge of are your own staff.

One thing she's had to do is been on the Senate floor casting votes to get people into government positions, due to Congress gridlock.

She's had to do it more than any VP, any VP ever. She broke the 1st and 2nd place records from Calhoun and Adams.

I'm just doing the research on this now because I'd heard she had to be in the senate a lot.

Is that an accomplishment? Or is it more about who voters put into Congress? It's not like she set out to accomplish that. Plus, I'm guessing her voting record was strictly along party lines, which would make it less impressive.

Although, to be fair to her, I have never thought much of any VP, in terms of, "job tasks". I truly cannot think of any VP who really spearheaded something or did more than act as a glorified ambassador.

Have we EVER had an amazing VP tenure?

Trump supporters are poors.

They can't be THAT poor. They have those really nice heavily modified trucks.

Debt. Just ask Gordo's ex.

I don't know nothing about her debt

She was posting on FB at some point about her cars, and she just kept rolling negative equity into new cars. It was like car buying train wreck.

Ahhh.

Eventually you just can't do that any more.

Weird conclusions for a chart based on rural vs urban GDP.

Nothing she says is wrong. However, we've been told a completely different story about ads promoting the other side.

Left wing PAC suing over Musk interview with Trump.

I think what's going to kill them is that Musk has already offered the exact same platform to Harris, well before this lawsuit.

Game theory. Retracting a lie later doesn't matter, it's already out there.

Dammit, more fucking tax cuts which we've learned are bad.

That Detrot Airport massive crowd on the runway outside Air Force One.... real or fake?

Snopes says it is totally real.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/real- ... n-detroit/

I just wish someone in that massive crowd shot to film video of the event, to put it to rest. Because it seems to me very odd in the era of TSA, Homeland Security, AI fakes, and paranoid Secret Service that there is a massive crowd on the tarmac to meet Air Force One.

So it's just too bad there's no video of the event.
