I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people, women, that they can’t control their body.

This is the best thing I’ve heard in so long.

And now Ryan is dissing the Supreme Court.

Bro

do not touch my fucking Court

Okay, but seriously, why should unelected judges make decisions?  Why?

WHY?

The Supreme Court is the most responsible branch because they are unelected.

When Biden answered the religion question, literally everyone started applauding.

Perhaps the Russian reset isn’t working, as Ryan says.

But calling Russia our number one enemy will probably not help our relationship.

Also? Outsourcing our foreign policy to the UN?

I believe that’s called fostering global cooperation.  But maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know.  I only study international relations.

Whenever Biden talks, everyone in the room is like, “BOOM!  AW YEAH, you tell him!”

Veeps

Just a reminder that the Vice Presidential debate is tonight at 9 pm EST/8pm CT.  You can watch it here.  The awesome thing about WaPo is that they do live fact-checking while the debate is on, so you can get live analysis and whatnot.

If you think this debate won’t matter, then clearly you weren’t watching last week’s presidential debate.  Consider this, okay: hundreds of millions of ad dollars were trumped by 90 minutes of TV last week, moving Romney ahead of the President in the national polls, briefly, and tipping several swing states in the challenger’s favor.  Debates never do that, unless they’re seriously momentous.  Debates, in fact, usually have little impact.  

So watch the debates.

Especially next week, because it’s foreign policy, and foreign policy has essentially decided this election for me.
