The Presidential Debate nearly made me ill. That person has somehow found a way for me to like him even less. I’m sure he’ll release a tweetstorm about himself during the debate tonight as well. Thankfully, Pence should be a bit more behaved – he’s a lapdog, but he does sometimes display some characteristics of respectable breeding. I’m going to give it at try. It doesn’t bring me pleasure.
2059: Access Hollywood tape 4 years ago today. One of the million things that should have prevented this.
2102: New England Journal of Medicine just endorsed a candidate for the first time in their 208 years. That’s because Trump is the worst human to be “leading” us through a pandemic.
2105: Mike Pence totally forgot to remove the plug from his butt before he walked out.
2105: Pence looks wayyy worse than he did the last time I looked at him. He looks crusty. But he still has that glimmer in his eye.
2107: Something is funny with Pence’s eye. Covid? In his eyeball?!
2109: Pence looks so excited to tell us about the 210K dead people. Why are we so dead?
2111: Licking the boots, but…why are we so much WORSE than the rest of the world? Even if we did the things he said we did (which we didn’t), why are we so dead. Ms Harris points this out well.
2113: She shut him down, pow.
2115: Pence is pretty good at this. They asked him why the President ignores his regulations, and he says we should have the right to infect everyone around us if we’re idiots.
2118: These people are so old.
2119: The irony of Pence and vaccines. The irony of “stop playing politics in people’s lives.” Holy moly. This is rich. The Swine Flu, which killed a few thousand people, he’s ridiculous here.
2123: I admire Harris for not answering Pence’s utterly stupid assertion that the Swine Flu was somehow worse than this – everyone’s like, uhhh, I don’t remember that…uhh, was it like this? I can’t remember? Instead, she did the normal tangential sort-of-answer to the question.
2125: I think the Pence’s hair is painted on.
2128: This is an appropriate debate. It’s chippy in the right kind of way.
2129: Spool up the conspiracy theories “great segue” as though Harris knew the topics. But, as you know…the topics…are pretty clear…aren’t they?
2131: All of these people are nuts on the economy.
2134: If Trump is not tweeting, he’s not well.
2136: Lots of hands. Meanwhile, I heard that Trump was going to have a new health plan in 2 weeks.
2139: Hello: Donald Trump will listen to climate science? Are you #$%#’ing kidding me?! Get out of here. This is an absurd point. Trump could not give a single f#$% about the environment.
2141: Meh, he’s wrong on Hurricanes.
2143: Pattern that they don’t believe in science. I mean, I don’t need to hear much more of this. They are having a reasonable debate here. Harris is doing great. But Pence is fine too. He’s not doing a bad job here. He’s measured and eloquent.
2145: The Green New Deal is a gimmick. The idea is in the right place, but it’s a poison pill. How about 20 100 billion dollar deals over the next 10 years.
2149: Good news to Progressives! Harris is the most liberal member of the Senate! More Bernie Sanders than Bernie Sanders!
2150: Incidentally, most American Covid cases are from Europe.
2152: It’s actually 215,822 at the moment, not 210,000. Two more 9/11’s since 210K.
2155: Foreign policy – a disaster, because they don’t actually do that work. Trump doesn’t do any of that stuff.
2159: Here’s the Suckers and Losers part – she snuck this in! Wowser! What’s in it for him. She’s nailing him to the wall on this. Damn.
2202: Moderator is doing pretty well here.
2203: Harris should give Pence a few seconds to answer whether he’d ban abortion.
2206: It must be frustrating to be a moderator. You think you’ve got a great question. And then neither of them answer it.
2210: Change the rules if they don’t like it. Meanwhile. how many of his appointees are just “acting” despite what the “rules” say.
2215: Harris is strong on justice and race. Pence is going to talk about defunding and ignore Black people.
2216: State of the Union tactics from Pence here – I have these people in the audience.
2217: Umm, America IS systemically racist. Police DO have anti-Black biases.
2219: There’s a fly on his head because he’s a rotting corpse. It smells the Covid.
2220: It’s impossible to keep track of all the terrible things Trump has done over the past 4 years.
2221: President Trump knows a Jewish guy!
2223: Somebody in the audience has a Covid cough.
2226: We’re going to win this election, despite being down 14%. “Every walk of *uneducated white guy* life.”
2229: Mike Pence: Great Question, if Donald Trump is elected president he won’t be a national embarrassment.
2231: Which candidate will have you come together? Trump or Biden? Not Pence or Harris – Pence is a normal, complicit human.
2234: Everyone in the audience is wearing a mask (except for Karen)
Words 
I signed into the internet I was greeted with a straight wall of snickering reaction to “the fly”. You’d think that was the only thing that happened. Unsurprisingly, it was all the same people who obsess over taking policy substance seriously and get up in arms about every little slight against “their” candidate. It’s almost as if people aren’t self-aware.
