Tim Walz is making the mistake of thinking that JD Vance is a normal human being. Vance’s heart would break at the gun violence if he had a heart that could break. He is a mercenary for power. He doesn’t care about anyone or anything else.

This fucking bullshut about forcing #CatholicHospitals to perform #abortions? THEY ARE PRIVATELY OWNED!!! #Catholic Hospitals — ANY #RELIGIOUS BUSINESS — is not publicly funded!!! Not subject to federally funded institution regulations!!!!

There are numerous laws and regulations that apply to hospitals that accept medicare dollars. Most Catholic hospitals (perhaps all?) do.
The Department of Health and Human Services has argued in court that ERs at such hospitals are required to provide abortions in emergent situations.

I'm not watching the debate, so perhaps there is additional context here that I am missing, but your general statement that the federal government can't force Catholic hospitals to do stuff is not the position of the Biden administration.

#TimWalz killed it on the #healthcare #debate!!!

I mean really.

#JDVance actually tried to sell us that “#Trump saved #Obamacare” 🤣😂😆

#TimWalz: did Donald #Trump lose the 2020 election?

#JDVance: We are focused on the future…

#Walz: That’s a damning non answer.

[Damn straight Tim. Damn straight.]

#TimWalz reply excerpt
“…I see a candidate out there who refused…he lost the election. This is not a debate. This [reality doesn’t exist]…anywhere other than in Trump’s world. When Mike Pence made that decision to certify that #election, that’s why #MikePence isn’t on this stage.
“Where is the firewall? If he [#Trump] knows he can do anything including taking an election, & his VP’s not going to stand up to it?…Will you [#JDVance] keep your oath of office, even if the president doesn’t?”

#DailyShow coverage of the #VPdebate:

“Michael Kosta goes live after the first & only vice presidential debate between #TimWalz & #JDVance. The stakes are as low as possible: one of these men will lose & we’ll never hear from them again, & one will win, become vice President, & we'll never hear from them again.”

According to the letter Douglas Stilgoe received informing him he was being kicked out of the LDS Church, the decision rested on the belief that his online criticism of church leaders amounted to “actively seeking to lead others” away from the faith — a point Stilgoe disputes.

I can't believe how angry I am over Vance's anecdote about the dear friend whose abortion saved her from an abusive marriage

Trump is a deeply broken person with uncountable personality disorders and damaged mental faculties

Vance?

Vance is a guy who makes me rethink my notions about 'evil' being a bit too much of a religious term for my tastes

Let's not forget what Romney said;

“I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance,”

in reply to Kim Scheinberg

Also Romney:

Romney wished he could grab Vance by the shoulders and scream: This is not worth it! “It’s not like you’re going to be famous and powerful because you became a United States senator. It’s like, really? You sell yourself so cheap?” The prospect of having Vance in the caucus made Romney uncomfortable. “How do you sit next to him at lunch?”

I do love that Romney, ever the Private Equity guy, isn't angry that Vance is for sale, but rather that he's mispriced himself
