Hey, yโall with Twitter accounts: Rumor is that should Vance do better than Trump (not win, just do better) Trump will do another debate because he is too proud to have Vance show him up.
So no matter what, after the debate say on Twitter, โVANCE DID SO MUCH BETTER THAN TRUMPโ (because, honestly, only a deranged hamster could do worse).
This will drive Trump to do another debate (probably).
And it would be glorious.

Vance preached that "we want our public policy to be motivated by the wisdom of loving thy neighbor, that we want our public policy to be motivated by an understanding that family is the most important thing in this country."
Just not Haitian families?
Or Black families?
Or Hispanic families?
Just rich white families with a husband and wife who are ONLY XY and XX DNA?
He literally is supporting a dozen bills that are SO NOT love the neighbor RIGHT NOW.

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?โ
Settle into the week with Joni's "Big Yellow Taxi," performed at the BBC Television Centre 53 years ago this month.
Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.
Many self-avowed 'critical thinkers', especially on Twitter, seem to not think critically.
