I think this will be a more satisfying if less important debate with respect to the election. It will be interesting if the moderators are biased here like the terrible ABC moderators. However, I suspect that Vance will rip them if they are. Vance is more self-aware of the drift as an attorney. Trump's ego gets in the way... they have him playing defense.
My general unbiased opinion is that Vance should come away with more points. He is quite a likeable and well spoken human.. and he is very, very bright... and more than anything, he is honest.
Walz does not get the minority woman benefit, and he is friggin' weird. Sort of a pseudo man. Some old Hippy that took a wrong turn or that lacked the requisite artistic ability to survive in the commune.
So true. How does a man get to the point in his life that he does this to himself? You will notice that women are taking the opposite path and self promoting as much as they can, sometimes to excellent effect, sometimes to terrible effect.
I rather like JD lots....I relate re: dysfunctional-early-upbringing-but-was-able-to-escape....he's gotten a bad rap......JD is a very good guy indeed.
He is the only member of the two executive teams who is obviously intelligent and very capable of sparring with the MSM people (I can't call them journalists or reporters). I am impressed with him.
Are you Debbie Wasserman Schultz? Your handle and whataboutism make me wonder. Make no mistake; Racket readers have a particular disdain for Ms. Wasserman Curling Iron.
Is this what they mean "waiting with bated (baited for midwesterners like me) breath"? I got a bottle of high-class bourbon for my 80th birthday last night. Should I uncork it tonight or save it for Election night with you two?
I recommend near beer - there will be just too many times to drink.
Plus which, a VP debate isn't worth the good stuff. Save it for a happier occasion - something really celebratory. If you didn't think your 80th birthday merited a shot of it, why this spectacle of nonsense?
I hear White dudes for Kamala are doing a drinking contest as well. But their drink of choice is Kool-Aid. Please Vance don't bring up, "they're eating the pets!" Talk about how women's sex based, rights have been taken away. How violent, male, felons are allowed to be in female prisons in blue states under the guise of "equality." Talk about Walz's law to remove your kid if you don't allow them to become a transvestite at age 13, and take drugs that atrophy their organs, and will give them osteoporosis by age 20. Talk about Tim's snitch line during covid, but he's the guy who says, "mind your own damm business!" Get ready for the folksy contest!
I love the Kool-Aid comment! LOL! The rest of your comments are also excellent. Trump hasn't been dueling with the Adversary in the ways that sway undecided voters, if that is even possible.
"Hormones Matter." Great read. Weren't you the subject of a big photo spread in its pages a few years back? Captioned, "Then Again Maybe Hormones Don't Matter"...
No, I was a comedian but the censorship party ( the democratic authoritarian death cult) killed comedy. It killed art. Killed democracy as well but we’re going to get it back on Nov. 5
Who’s a” right wing” comedian? And what is right -wing? Accepting biology? Rejecting faith based policies like male felons in female prisons who feel like women?
All comedians pre 2020 are censored. All of them are cancelled. And I don’t suggest you watch Murphy, Pryor, Carlin, or Rickles. You’d be triggered and start binging Greek yogurt. Be safe.
Last time Walt went with Nitro cold brew, a favorite of mine. So I joined him and the caffeine kept me up until 3am. But I still felt better than most of you the next morning.
I mean, just the word "folks" alone will send someone to the hospital for a stomach pump. Ever since Obama somehow enshrined it as the completely-unoffensive-to-absolutely-anyone, go-to word to address all Americans, its common usage is as bad as an 80's valley girl with the word 'like'.
I say "like" all the time, including when I write, because I thought you were allowed to be yourself here. I also write "folks." It makes me feel all Pete Seeger.
Those people who stick exes on the ends of perfectly good Spanish words are overstepping, though.
When I was young, back in the punk Jurassic, I briefly toyed with a tat that read 'Born to Lose'. Of course I always thought that maybe it would apply sometime when I actually met a human who did those WS Burroughs substances who could lead me into temptation or something. Which for good or bad, never happened. Here I am 40 years later realizing that it would eventually have wound up being a commentary on the drinking games of the 2024 election season.
Alcohol is unnecessary, your brain cells will die just watching.
They definitely were under assault.
good one.
Still recovering from the last debate. Doctor says I gotta stop.
Same here and I don’t even drink.
switch doctors. you know. if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. it works both ways right?
Wasn't that awful!
"A moderator fact-checks either candidate."
Come on. If a moderator fact-checks Vance, drink. If a moderator fact-checks Walz, drink everything and order more from Drizly.
If you liver can stand it . . .
If Walz wears his earrings we’ll know something’s up.
Microphone? No. Miniature speaker. Or with him probably a fashion statement.
Are Walz earrings really a thing?
Microphone reference
What about his tampons?
his tampons will be sending him messages in Morse code,,,,,,and he'll proudly say he knows Morse code from his days in Combat Zones
Please, that’s a mental image I can do without. 🤪

Self emasculation is the price of admission in woke, globalist circles. Walz is clearly paid up as a card-carrying member.
So true. How does a man get to the point in his life that he does this to himself? You will notice that women are taking the opposite path and self promoting as much as they can, sometimes to excellent effect, sometimes to terrible effect.
Way worse, a wannabe, most old hippies are old Libertarian now.
Not the ones I know.
You know the wrong ones then, do you live in Cali-fuck you?
Not even close. But you're entitled to your opinion about "the right ones" and "the wrong ones". I'm less judgmental about that.
He should be exorcised to china so he can spread his BS in his favorite vacation spot.
I think you mean ostracized, though given his abortion policies, exorcism is a good idea, too.
Good point. The only part of Walz that exercised is his mouth—both for eating and spreading bs.
Hell, yeah. I’m always down for an exorcism!
You don't know China.
JD Vance is not a likeable person. Neither is Walz. They are the phoniness you pretend to despise.
I rather like JD lots....I relate re: dysfunctional-early-upbringing-but-was-able-to-escape....he's gotten a bad rap......JD is a very good guy indeed.
He is the only member of the two executive teams who is obviously intelligent and very capable of sparring with the MSM people (I can't call them journalists or reporters). I am impressed with him.
Plus JD likes Lina Khan
What would happen if the FTC investigated the federal government? (Aside from some divide by zero error). I think it would be interesting?
What exactly makes him a good guy?
Having some level of sympathy for the working poor. And yes I get the Peter Thiel connections blah, blah, blah.
I had no idea he was in the Thelian Galaxy.
Do your homework.
Vance has real poverty cred, though. He’s seen both sides.
He grew up in a suburban Ohio home where the household income was (today’s dollars) $175k a year. His parents paid for his golf lessons.
He overcame this deprivation to attend Yale Law School.
Poverty cred?
Are you Debbie Wasserman Schultz? Your handle and whataboutism make me wonder. Make no mistake; Racket readers have a particular disdain for Ms. Wasserman Curling Iron.
I think you ID’d her correctly.
He discovered little boys.
Aw, nothing about cats.
Or couches?
You know Walz will deal a low couch blow in there somewhere.
I've noticed that Trump never gets accused of resorting to couches. I assume that liberal male politicians don't want to talk about that subject.
Is this what they mean "waiting with bated (baited for midwesterners like me) breath"? I got a bottle of high-class bourbon for my 80th birthday last night. Should I uncork it tonight or save it for Election night with you two?

I recommend having one good drink and then switching to the cheap stuff.
Or the baseball game.
I like the cut of your jib. Go Friars.
Top shelf bourbon is meant to be shared with friends! 🥂🐸
Save it for the winning night and invite me over!
Happy 80th birthday! 🎉
congrats. I am close. open it .. there is a wash of high class bourbon in the world. and you can afford a second or third one
baited breasts
Looking forward to seeing Matt get absolutely hammered again haha
Gotta admire his commitment to the game & authenticity to get loopy!
For sure - I could never keep track of all the rules & watch at the same time :)
hmm anothere great “hammer” word for Kirn.. maybe he should sing. If I got hammered.. “ LOL

Did they get the koolaid from Jonestown?!?
Flavor Aid. Grape, specifically.
is that in Ohio? oh what. that is Johnstown
You are not funny. Please stop.
Sorry, the people here don't tend to care about your tender sensibilities.
And it's true about 13 year old gay and autistic youth being mindfucked and sterilized at puberty. https://hormonesmatter.com/lupron-reproductive-injury/
"Hormones Matter." Great read. Weren't you the subject of a big photo spread in its pages a few years back? Captioned, "Then Again Maybe Hormones Don't Matter"...
Oh you again. Have some Kool -Aid on me pal.
Sounds like you and baker spend a good deal of your time thinking about children and their sex organs.
Whatever you need to get off, I guess.
Huh? Listen to detransitioners and get back to me
you dont know what funny is
Savi claims to be a comedian. Maybe the whole thing on substack is an Andy Kaufman style performance art.
No, I was a comedian but the censorship party ( the democratic authoritarian death cult) killed comedy. It killed art. Killed democracy as well but we’re going to get it back on Nov. 5
What's the plan? Storm the Capitol and hold a MAGA Telethon of the worst off the worst in Right-Wing "Comedy?"
Who’s a” right wing” comedian? And what is right -wing? Accepting biology? Rejecting faith based policies like male felons in female prisons who feel like women?
I’ve heard comedians say that. The thing that all those “censored” comedians have in common is that they’re not funny.
All comedians pre 2020 are censored. All of them are cancelled. And I don’t suggest you watch Murphy, Pryor, Carlin, or Rickles. You’d be triggered and start binging Greek yogurt. Be safe.
So you thought that was funny?
Debbie Wasserman Schmaltz, are you at it again? You're not welcome here.
Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz.
To be welcome in this neighborhood….
We welcome everyone. Even trolls like you.
Remember to mute the audio during pee breaks!
Yes, please! Give Walter a chance to fill those gaps undisturbed.
Last time Walt went with Nitro cold brew, a favorite of mine. So I joined him and the caffeine kept me up until 3am. But I still felt better than most of you the next morning.
Racket is now sponsored by Constellation Brands, I guess.
HAHAHA!!!!

that is Folx. use your pronouns
80's? Have you been listening to anyone in any unscripted interview? Worse today than 80s ever were.
100% agree! I thought I was the only one who detests the use of “folks”. Condescending in the extreme.
Awesome screed Elliot! H.L. Mencken's got nothing on you.
I say "like" all the time, including when I write, because I thought you were allowed to be yourself here. I also write "folks." It makes me feel all Pete Seeger.
Those people who stick exes on the ends of perfectly good Spanish words are overstepping, though.
As with the last debate, with those rules, no one is sober after midnight.
The last debate was fun for the first hour or so, and after that we just drank out of the sheer disappointment of the whole thing.
Yes. We tried to forget how f*cked the US, and consequently the world was with politicians like these.
seems like a game people play to lose

Well said Though I was thinking More Douglas Adams and Ford Prefect
I can see that... Pan Galactic Gargleblasters all around Barkeep! There's a centimeter of liver I haven't killed yet...

I’m ready for number 15 right now.
Right?!
Get so drunk you can’t find the car to drive off that cliff in despair
