The VP Debate Open Thread

(I see Robert had a post scheduled, but I’ll leave this up as there are comments on it).

Streaming now at Timcast for those without cable tv. Debate begins at 9pm Eastern.

Walz opens on a question on Iran’s attack on Israel with full deer in the headlights.

Show Me The Man

I’ll show you the crime;

I’m not a fan of RFK, Jr.

I remember some of his recent past, such as wanting to silence “climate deniers” and such, so I can’t support anyone who thought that was a good idea, even if he doesn’t now. After all, what other braindead, unconstitutional policies will he think is a good idea next?

But he’s not running for anything now. Now, he’s supporting Donald J. Trump.

And that makes him a target.

Some continue to claim, despite numerous prosecutions against Trump, that no one is weaponizing federal law enforcement against enemies of the Democratic Party. They say that the reason Trump is being investigated and prosecuted is because he’s a terrible person who did illegal things.

However, now RFK is under investigation, and it’s kind of hard to ignore now.

Scratch A Leftist

This is brilliant.

A little-known super PAC called Future Coalition PAC is airing ads highlighting Kamala Harris’s support for Israel, such as it is. “Vice President Harris has chosen a side—the right side,” a narrator says. “Harris has made herself clear, she stands with Israel and the Jewish people.” Another notes that Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, would be “the first Jewish presidential spouse ever”—that Harris and Emhoff are “making history, standing up for what’s right, supporting Israel.”

In every way, they echo what Harris and Emhoff have said they stand for. But the New York Times doesn’t like these ads. Neither do they link to them and allow viewers to decide for themselves, but it tells readers they are “antisemitic,” “intended to stoke more division,” and that they “signal a new level of ugliness in the race.”

Oh, we forgot to mention: The ads are airing in the Detroit area. Dearborn, Mich., is an inner-ring suburb of Detroit home to the country’s largest Muslim population, and what the Times report from Katie Glueck doesn’t say is that the 40,000 or so odd Arabs there don’t like Jews.

Google Commemorative Logos You’ll Never See

Via Ed Morrissey;

Google “growth strategist” Dakota Leazer got confronted by James O’Keefe after telling an undercover reporter that his company had been “definitely coordinating” with the Kamala Harris campaign. He had told the woman, who had set up Leazer on a date, that his platform and other Big Tech companies were promoting Harris in an attempt to “get her to win.” […]

Be sure to watch the whole video, which dropped on Wednesday, the day after the debate. Reasonable people may think Leazer looks a bit too low-level to reach a definitive conclusion about Google’s intentions, and maybe he just was trying to impress his date. Perhaps, but … Google’s actions at higher levels raise exactly the same suspicion.

For instance, did you know that Google’s attorney in their DoJ anti-trust case helped Kamala Harris prep for the debate that took place the night before O’Keefe released this video?

Well, this should help turn things around.
