VP Pence is an idiot and deaf ~ he can't hear how stupid he sounds ~~ back to the debate.

The debate kicked off on my drive home. Npr coverage.

Geeeeeez. Pence talks over both the moderator and Senator Harris. Wtf.

Can you hear the ominous roar of a gigantic 'blue wave', yet?

I do.

I am positive that American voters will deliver a big news flash soon.

I read tonight that Joe Biden has crossed the threshold, in terms of an electoral count. 270. That is positive news.

Me too (watch vp debate).

Go Biden, Go Harris!

And IF I didn't know any better I'd swear that Pence was "charlie mccarthy" and Trump was working the voice control!

Trump's erratic behaviour

A word to the wise, Melania: get away from him.

Did or Does Trump have syphilis ?

Patient confidentiality, nondisclosure agreements, payoffs...I guess we'll never know. But it's as good a conspiracy theory as any other.

Surprise: Trump does not win Nobel Peace Prize.

"The United Nations food agency, the World Food Programme (WFP), won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for its efforts to combat hunger and improve conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas."

Someone has to tell Trump so he can restart his hate campaign against the UN for ignoring the "nomination" that he kept bragging about.

I guess they are serious about the word "peace".

Why can't they fix it so during a debate if a candidate doesn't stop talking 10 seconds after being warned they just turn their mic off. It's just ridiculous already. They can make it part of the rules you must agree to if you want to debate.

Trump would have a fit but his last debate was a fucking shit show. I mean it's not really a debate if one party refuses to abide by the rules of conduct for a debate. Don't bother having debates if you can't control them.

And what is this shit where you can use the time you are allotted to talk about a previous question instead of the current issue at hand. If you really had to abide by the rules you wouldn't waste your time like that because you couldn't make it up by stealing more time. You would stay on point. That's what makes debating an art, a challenge, that's what makes a good debater. Not just steal time and have your say no matter what. Practice being more concise and live with your choices.

Instead it's about who's a big thug, who doesn't care about equality and fairness, who is completely without a sense of fair play, who is a shameless, arrogant, mansplainer, that's who gets to have more time to make their case. But I guess if those are the kinds of qualities people want in a leader then the choice is clear. Hopefully they prefer someone who understands how to play by the rules, shows a sense of fairness in their interactions with others, and in the case of Biden vs Trump can speak in complete sentences.

I guess I just needed to rant.

Kamala Harris beat Pence soundly. He got a few "zingers" in I guess but the fly stuck to his hair said it all. His condescending attitude toward Harris and the moderator won't do the Trump-Pence ticket any favors with women voters.

The debate commission has announced the next debate between Biden and Trump will be a virtual event for safety purposes. Trump is refusing to participate. I'm sure there are more twists and turns ahead with that.
