It’s a rare treat to be able to say to a future VP that yes,
Vance might have conditions for appearing at a debate.
The invitation has to be couched in terms he will accept.
Who’s going to chair it?
@mspie500 posted this in another thread…
Her face, tho!
One hopes he also gets the couch off, as such things should always be mutual.
I know that face- it’s the “Can’t laugh. Can’t Laugh. CAN’T LAUGH” face.
Walz made some faces as well, mostly during Harris’s introduction of him, which I’ve seen in the mirror. the “Ah, shucks, I’m just doing what is right and decent” face, with a tinge of “can’t cry”. (I have a trait of not taking praise terribly well, especially publically, and I’ve made that same face before.)
I like this ticket.
I wasn’t totally getting the Midwestern Dad vibe people say he has until he pointed out the joke after. As a Midwestern Dad, I can attest that is something that we apparently are genetically inclined to do when we think we made a clever little joke, as my kids will groan and attest to.
pure, uncut dad energy
The more I hear/read about Walz, the more I like him.
I was voting for Harris anyway no matter who she picked, but I am happy she picked him.
Shapiro may have been the POLITICAL choice, but Walz was the RIGHT choice.
I wasn’t expecting that
Shapiro supports school vouchers
He would have annoyed me. Walz was a public school teacher. Much better.
I’ve been hoping for that in a(nother*) POTUS since I’ve been able to vote (having had a rather inspiring English teacher in 12th grade). I’ll take VP though.
*(& yeah, he wouldn’t be the 1st; I’d forgotten about LBJ.)
I’m not sure about the Swedish, but my attempt at Norwegian would make uknullelig as something like “unfuckable”
Trump campaign says they are not talking about couches
Yes you are. By saying you’re not talking about it, you’re talking about it!
Everyone knows it’s a silly joke, but only one person is taking it to “fishsticks” level.
