Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This is the real story, from the bottom of the article:

Vance and Democratic vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will debate on Tuesday. The final faceoff of the 2024 presidential campaign is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS News.

I think they're about an hour and a half.

Also, here's a date: Oct 1, 2024. (I know Tues was already mentioned, just wanted the calendar date myself)

I honestly believe that Trump would rather have a lickspittle turncoat at his side than a true believer.

A true believer might question Trump when he does a 180, but a full on kiss ass will just smile and ask for another chance to pucker up.

You never heard 'lickspittle' before? What are you, a witling?

jk.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Back in the day I had to write official government reports. One of my proudest achievements was slipping 'cromulent' into my of those reports. Funnily enough, the actual word 'folderol' was pulled by my manager, who thought it was made up.

Just more proof that Vance is a shell of a man. He’s completely lacking in character and willing to sell whatever soul he has for a taste of power.

[–] RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wish I was the kind of person that could feel surprised, disappointed, or offended by that. But I'm not.

They’d be plenty surprised, offended and upset if a black guy did it. Unless he’s on their team apparently.
