Tim Walz

But Vance is not so sure...


Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance skirted questions from Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on whether he will “be there” for an Oct. 1 debate with Walz.

“I strongly suspect we're going to be there on October 1, but we’re not going to do one of these fake debates, Laura, where they don't actually have an audience there,” Vance said. “We’re not going to walk into a fake news media garbage debate.”

During her show, Ingraham tried to pin down a slippery Vance on the topic.

"Senator, are you in?” she asked.

“Look, Laura, we're certainly going to debate Tim Walz,” Vance said before deflecting. “We just heard about this thing three hours ago, so we are going to talk to them to figure out when we can debate.”

He continued: “I actually think we should do more than one debate so hopefully we're going to see him on October 1, but hopefully we're going to see him either before or after that, because I think it's important for the American people to actually see us discuss our views.”

Ingraham pressed Vance again.

"Senator, is there any doubt you will not be there on October 1 to debate Walz?” she asked.

“Look, Laura, we want to actually look at the debates, look at the moderators, talk about the rules a little bit,” he said.

Lucky duck!  We're getting stupid JD, but they're being quiet about the exact location and time info.  I wonder why.. 

Especially when the account is empty due to the schools clerical errors ( drawing lunch on my kids card on days my kid was verifiably absent ) it’s still angers me 15 years later.

I have no issue paying for my kids lunches but then they stopped accepting cash and I no longer trust their accounting because I was not refunded all of the mistakes they made. The lunch account system can be a fucking mess if you ask me.

Great point about Republicans calling Walz a socialist and the universal free lunch program.



We're still a capitalist country

Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen
Republicans have been pointing to Democrats and crying socialism for years. We had 8 years of Bill Clinton. Are we a socialist country? We had 8 years of Barack Obama? Are we a socialist country? We've had 4 years of Joe Biden. We're STILL not a socialist country. So at what point does the socialism actually kick in?'

This suburban woman has a teenaged daughter. Damn straight I care about abortion rights, especially as long as pregnancy continues to be unpredictable and some men continue to be predators.

Precisely. I’ve read so many stories about women who have been denied care and it’s absolutely horrifying. As someone who has had a miscarriage, with a sister that has had multiple miscarriages and my own mom delivered a stillborn baby, I know first hand that pregnancy can go sideways in a hundred different directions. I can’t even imagine having to watch my only child go through any of that and having necessary care withheld.

Didn't Tx Gov Abbott get rid of all the rapists, as promised?

Attended the Walz rally in Omaha last night. It was so fun to be in a safe space and be able to talk openly about politics in Nebraska. Inside venue filled up. We were in the outside spillover area. Watched on screen. Tim did come out to meet the crowd. I was in the 2nd line of people behind the rail so didn't get to meet him.

We are flying to Omaha to get to central/western Iowa in September for a family wedding. I found a Runza nearby for us to stop at before/after the airport. Any other recommendations?

I’m so glad you got in! I have read good things about the rally. What was your experience? I have attended two rallies in my lifetime that were held locally - I got to see Hillary Clinton when she was campaigning for Obama. I find it amazing now that I stood in line for quite a while to see John Edwards when he was the running mate for John Kerry. What an asshole he turned out to be. One of the best things was that it ended up being the legends of Minnesota politics in attendance - very cool to see Walter Mondale. 

A friend and I are planning to try to make runzas this fall. Her daughter is going to Nebraska in a couple weeks and she said she was going to do some research with the locals on this. 

Haven’t lived there in years, but Little King subs was a family favorite.

We waited in line for about 2 hours. Everyone was friendly. Even organizers handed out water bottles. We were about 40 people from getting into the auditorium so we ended up outside. They had a big screen. The crowd was energetic. Lots of cheering. Everyone was super pumped when Walz came out. He was shaking hands and taking selfies. Very, very positive!

I was laughing when he said something about Vance not knowing what a Runza is. I moved to Colorado in '87 and every time we'd travel back home, I'd make my husband stop at a Runza. Imagine my shock at finding one in Loveland and now there is one in Longmont. I took a friend there for lunch when we were at a crop in Loveland. She said a few hours later that her stomach felt like lard. Hahahahaha. Amateur.
