  4. It’ll be nice to see Jeff Goldblum on SNL, again. He’s gotta be the fly, right?  
    I think Kamala saw the fly at some point. Bigger smile. 
    I still can’t believe Mike was fine with the grand jury in the Breonna Taylor murder and then immediately pivoted to the tragedy of salon being destroyed.  What a heartless, effing knob. 

  5. Not just that Harris win, but by how much folks think she won.   Mike was so not up to her level.  

  8. Glad I missed it. Did anyone ask about pence’s support for the most recent fetus-killing trump decree that any company can now dump mercury and cyanide in mommy’s drinking water ? Just asking.

  14. excerpt from wapo’s alexandra petri:

    An exclusive interview with the fly from the debate
    […]
    And so when Vice President Pence was asked about — I’m sorry, whenever I interview anyone I feel like it’s just me talking and talking and then at the end I look at the transcript and I’m like, oh, I should have let them say something. But that’s the opposite of the problem that Mike Pence had tonight, not getting to talk.
    BZZZZZZZZZZ BZZZZZ BZZZZZZZZZZZZ
    Are you a fruit fly? Or do you mostly — if you could land on any substance, what would you land on?(Very gracefully and with effortless cool, the fly deposits itself on a small pile of horse dung.)

  22. tRUMPence failed to rescue 200,000+ 
    Pence failed to call out the grand jury findings in the Breonna Taylor murder; he was OK with them.   He was more concerned about a hair salon that was burned down (probably by a tRUMP supporter trying to make trouble during a peaceful protest), than the murder of a black woman asleep in her bed.
    Yes, and let’s talk about tRUMP packing the courts with incompetent, white judges. 
    Was the toddler sedated last night?  Has he croaked yet?

  23. jamie, yeah, can’t you just see kamala slow walking in with a little bounce to the beat as they play a perfect jazz rendition of “ain’t no flies on me”  as her walk-on music –  maybe she’ll even say/sing a few lines softly as she takes the mic

  24. BBC coverage:

    If one measure of success is popularity on social media, the vice-presidential debate was a no-contest.
    Despite the candidates’ best efforts, nothing they said resonated with people online quite like the wanderings of one unsuspecting insect.
    For approximately two minutes, a fly landed on Vice-President Mike Pence’s head and became an instant internet celebrity.
    The phrase “the fly” has been tweeted and retweeted more than 700,000 times since it appeared during the debate.
    […]
    Meanwhile, one person has drawn parallels to the last time a fly appeared during a presidential debate – four years ago, when it landed on the head of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
    There is no suggestion that this is the same fly.
    […]
    The fly has united people on both sides of the aisle, with one person labelling it “an American hero” and another calling it “probably the most memorable thing that happened“.
    Former senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway called for the fly to be given a mail-in ballot, while Republican Senator Rand Paul joked it was evidence of spying as “the deep state planted a bug” on Mr Pence.

  26. Monarchs all over my buddleia, this morning.
     
    (…makes me less pissed Liz isn’t the VP nom, shhhh i didn’t say that, yay Kamala😒)

  27. Love Keith O.  As usual, he nails it.  Wish he could get along with network brass and had a platform other than YouTube.
     
    Kessler is catching heat from RW commentors offended by his debate fact check at WaPo.  Only thing I see wrong is that he’s bent over backward to try and present the usual false equivalence between Pope Pence’s lies and Kamala’s stretches.

  28. Every time Pence said some outrageous lie Rick and I laughed our butts off.  Had the best time we’ve ever had watching a debate.  
     
    ps… and of course the fly stuff today…. priceless!

  29. patd, lol – I see it a little differently – just another fly attracted to the horse shit Pence was spewing to land on.

  32. Missed another one, good.  That SFB refuses to do it on camera says all he cares about is bullying people.  Tough.
     
    Something odd is happening to the orange rind face.  It looks like the right side has a slight droop.  Which with his twitchy right arm and the right arm hanging limp at times, makes it a bit weird if he has not had a serious medical issue.

  33. Won’t do a virtual debate?  Nope – he’s headed for the bunker I’m betting – either that or looking for another super spreader opportunity. 

  41. NPR just played a soundbite of Typhoid Donnie and he sounded lethargic.  
     
    Meanwhile, the Trumpies are emboldened to not wear masks, today; i’m dodging and weaving.

  45. On behalf of all of the non-crazy people in Michigan, I hope those militia guys never see daylight again.

  51. Whitmer shouldn’t be the only one saying it
    There is no doubt this behavior is S F B inspired

  52. Here is the straight info from a trump party enthusiast.  COVID-19 is not contagious, it has a death rate at about one thousand of one percent, even for the old and overweight.  He was very not happy when I told him the source of my information, Johns Hopkins COVID-19 website.  Damn facts.

  54. “Just cap her”.
     I hope that pendulum which is currently picking up steam on its way back smites them, and knocks them frightfully asunder.

    Who Dey?

    “Just cap her”.

    Damn a buncha ignorant sonsa bitches, all hopped up on uber Gonadism.

  57. To reveal why this happened, How the South Won the Civil War traces the story of the American paradox, the competing claims of equality and subordination woven into the nation’s fabric and identity. At the nation’s founding, it was the Eastern “yeoman farmer” who galvanized and symbolized the American Revolution. After the Civil War, that mantle was assumed by the Western cowboy, singlehandedly defending his land against barbarians and savages as well as from a rapacious government. New states entered the Union in the late nineteenth century and western and southern leaders found yet more common ground. As resources and people streamed into the West during the New Deal and World War II, the region’s influence grew. “Movement Conservatives,” led by westerners Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, claimed to embody cowboy individualism

  59. Pence is starting to look like Roger Stone.

    Those crazy militia groups are taking a hard right into Al Queda land.  
    The news said they were mad at Whitmer for closing businesses, including gyms.  
    Not a damned one of those rRUMP-loving losers is a gym rat.  The heaviest thing any one of those idiots has even tried to lift is  a keg of beer. 
    No townhall, so drugged-up Donny wants to have a rally.  By all means, go infect your followers.


  60. Every time Fox has Pete on he decimates them! I just love how flustered they get :0))))

  61. Sturg – Cowboy individualism has turned into mob mentality, where the mob doesn’t have two brain cells that fire in sync. 

  63. If the tRUMP brain trust in Michigan blames SFB for inciting their behavior, can the state bring charges against him, as well?   
     

  64. “ FOX bookers who keep bringing him on, because he decimates their hosts every time.”
     
    lol, just for you Mr. S.

  67. frank luntz focus group found Harris to be ‘abrasive’ and ‘condescending.’  That he-man talk describing 1. a woman who stands up for something a man doesn’t like, 2. a woman who has to explain things to a (male) dummy. 
     
    luntz says pence won.
