Water is wet and the sun comes up in the east.
One candidate doesn’t prepare and brags about not preparing. The other candidate prepares. One candidate appears more prepared at the debate.
Profit? No, ffs, conspiracy ensues.
Humans are too stupid for this world. Asteroid 2024.
What nonsense. Debate questions aren’t exactly rocket science.
I predict at the VP debate:
- Both will be asked about the economy
- Both will be asked about immigration
- Healthcare will get at least a mention
- Vance will be asked about Springfield, Ohio
- Walz will be asked about his military background
- Project 2025, January 6, and Vance’s contradictory comments about Trump over the years and during the campaign itself are likely to be brought up
There, just fed both candidates 90% of the debate questions.
Jesus Christ, do you want them to both cheat by preparing?
Where is the old days we stopped them in Vaseline and have them fight to the death, like civilized human beings.

Nah - this is one where I’d favour a return to tradition… Except for the fact that Fetterman would demolish the Democrat ranks like an IDF tank through a children’s hospital.

The matter came to a head when Robertson attempted to enter the Senate chamber to be sworn in and take his seat presiding over the session; he was attacked, beaten, and thrown bodily from the chamber by the Democrats, who then locked the chamber door, beginning four hours of intermittent mass brawling that spread throughout the Indiana Statehouse. The fight ended only after Republicans and Democrats started brandishing pistols and threatening to kill each other. The Governor deployed the Indianapolis Police Department to restore order.

On February 22, 1902, John McLaurin, South Carolina’s junior senator, raced into the Senate Chamber and pronounced that state’s senior senator, Ben Tillman, guilty of “a willful, malicious, and deliberate lie.” Standing nearby, Tillman spun around and punched McLaurin squarely in the jaw. The chamber exploded in pandemonium as members struggled to separate both members of the South Carolina delegation. In a long moment, it was over, but not without stinging bruises both to bystanders and to the Senate’s sense of decorum.
Although Tillman and McLaurin had once been political allies, the relationship had recently cooled. Both were Democrats, but McLaurin had moved closer to the Republicans, who then controlled Congress, the White House, and a lot of South Carolina patronage. When McLaurin changed his position to support Republicans on a controversial treaty, Tillman’s rage erupted. With McLaurin away from the chamber, he had charged that his colleague had succumbed to “improper influences.”
On February 28, 1902, the Senate censured both men and several weeks later, added to its rules the provision that survives today as part of Rule XIX: “No senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator.”
