  1. Wettest run in a long time. Not much of a downpour, but very effective anyway… And yet, I loved it very much, because during the first half, I listened to the MSNBC commentaries on the vice presidential debate (Lawrence O‘Donnell was absolutely hilarious…), then switched to a new science fiction audiobook by Phillip P. Peterson for the second half. That took my mind off the copious amounts of wetness. Yeah! #Running #applewatchultra2 #uspol #VicePresidentialDebate #sciencefiction

  2. Finland’s largest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat declared JD Vance the winner of the vice-presidential debate.

    But they’re known for supporting right-wing conservatives in their reporting.

    In want to hear it from Americans. How was it really?

    Van Jones re JD Vance 👇🏼
    “His job was to come out tonight and try to sane-wash the crazy. Sane-wash all that crazy stuff he said against women, against Haitians, sane-wash Donald Trump. And he would’ve gotten away with it too if it weren’t for the pesky facts,” Jones said.
    “Donald Trump is the gaslighter-in-chief and this is his loyal lieutenant who came out here to try to polish up the crazy.”

  4. Hot take: I think there should be presidential discussions rather than presidential debates.

    In a debate, the candidates present their ideas and answer questions very superficially, essentially as sound bytes.

    I want to see the candidates discuss together, and watch how they collaborate. I want to see them figure things out together, "reaching across the aisle" so to speak. Discussing, not presenting. Because that would be their job, figuring things out.

    "YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T GOING TO FACT CHECK"

  6. I live on Ohio. I have to say that after watching the #VicePresidentialDebate I want to move to Minnesota!

  7. CW: US Politics, Vice Presidential Debate

    That felt like a fairly normal, uneventful debate. I think there's going to be a lot of think pieces about how "it's nice to have a return to normalcy," but really the debate, to me, shows how effective someone like JD Vance could be in taking Trump's extreme alt-right agenda and dressing it up in the trappings of normal politics. It was incredible to see Walz call that out directly, and I'm hoping him doing so will mean people are less fooled by Vance's performance.

  8. I just watched the #USA #VicePresidentialDebate and I am confused about one thing, throughout the entire debate Vance acted as if V.P. Harris almost had queen-like power to get her agenda in place over the last almost four years. Do Vice Presidents have powers I'm not aware of? She was not President, she certainly was not Congress (half of which is controlled by Republicans), but he acted as though she could have done everything she wants to do already. How, exactly, was she supposed to do that? Did I miss something about the powers of Vice Presidents back when I was in Civics class in High School?

  10. OK I'm missing something with #GOP immigrant logic:

    1) Illegal immigrants arrive in US
    2) They somehow have enough money to buy homes en masse
    3) They begin eating the cats, eating the dogs in their neighborhoods
    4) Donald Trump will give you federal land for a house to ease the housing crisis

    WTF kind of jankem is this party collectively huffing
