CBS News, hosting vice presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz for the general election campaign’s third debate next week, says it will be up to the politicians — not the moderators — to check the facts of their opponents.

    No holds barred free for all. I like it. This is going to be an amazing debate. Midwest against I have no idea what the hell Vance is.

      what the hell Vance is

      A couch-fucking weirdo, from what I’ve heard.

      “No holds barred” is still an honest fight.

      “No facts checked” favors the opponent who has no real principles or policy to defend. It’s like walking in the ring shotgun and the refs being like okay y’all on your own.

      It’s gonna be an absolute shit show and basically be a demonstration on how well can a liar Vance lie without being too obvious about being a liar. Best we can hope is that Walz will make it very obvious.

      Hopefully there will be a second or 2 to slip in something of more substance while we wipe the shit off our faces.

        Vance and Trump keep making the same lies even after they’re debunked, so Walz could make a bingo card ahead of time.

        Here is how you win. Prepare for lies. Do a quick fact check during each round and then punch him in the face with the truth. Laugh at him regularly for being a lying clown. Treat Vance with no respect.

      Midwest against I have no idea what the hell Vance is.

      Ohio is also considered the Midwest.

        Eh, only really to people in Ohio and not in the Midwest.

        Or maybe that’s just my upper Midwestern heritage coming through. To us, it may as well be Pennsylvania, and nobody calls that the Midwest.

            Midwestern here.

            I think the fact that EVERY Midwesterner mutually shits on Ohio at any opportunity kiiiiinda makes a case that they’re Midwest also.

            There are other states MORE deserving of the shit-talk, but it’s not personal and visceral the way every other Midwestern state hates Ohio.

              It’s not shitting on them - Ohio is simply too far east to be in the Midwest.
