Vance is an utter sophist. Americans seem to adore sophism, including our political pundits.

On my bingo card I had the over/under on when the first mention of Governor Shapiro would occur at about 10 minutes. The fact that it occurred at the 26 minute mark, showed some restraint. Tim Miller's words about letting go of your preferred VP choice, keep coming back to haunt these conversations. Though I am not sure how exactly that version of the debate would have looked, given what is happening in Israel. As much as I liked the chameleon comparison, I think the Eddie Haskell comparison is probably more accurate, I believe that Sara's focus groups will show that to be true. JD Vance comes across as too slick by half and no one is buying it.

Unlike you I was surprised Shapiro was mentioned. Unnecessarily self serving in my opinion. I’m with Tim Miller.

That "decent" guy should take a field trip to Alington Cemetery and look out at the 400,000 graves and reflect on the fact that he is willing to piss on them in the servitude of a criminal. Then that "decent" guy should hop a flight to Normandy, France and do the same to the 9,388 graves of US soldiers who died protecting all that he and his cult master want to obliterate.

Harris-Walz should expand their messaging on 'the rich pay their fair share': the 1% practice buy-borrow-die (tax loophole) - Elon Musk borrowed against his Tesla shares to buy Twitter. We should tax large $ asset-backed loan proceeds (possibly at earned-income rates). Effectively that approach carves-out which unrealized gains are fair game to tax.
