Didn’t watch but I gather it was mostly about infrastructure and entitlement reform.
Let’s raise some money for Joe and Kamala.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Hot air and ill-informed banter
Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.
Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.
Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.
Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.
Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.
Peak wingnut was a lie.
The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.
Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.
It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.
Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll
One way or another, he’s a liar.
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
Usually wrong but never in doubt
A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.
You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.
I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.
Nothing worth doing is easy.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.
SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The Guardian went with “pretty fly for a white guy”.

Sorry, DougJ. I sent Biden the insta-$5 from the tweet and ordered the flyswatter. I’m done for tonight. I need to check the bank balance again before I click on your damn addictive thermometers!!
ETA: Last time I looked at Quicken we’d spent all of our stimulus money and then some on candidates opposing Trump and Trumpism. My goal is to match it 1:1 with our own $$.

I encountered a small line of cars this evening; we were returning absentee ballots to the board of elections in Cleveland. The state started mailing out ballots yesterday. I received and returned my ballot today, not taking any chances.

Looks like that fly choosing a fitting landing pad is this debate’s contribution to US political history.
Which fly was that? Never heard of it before. Doing great work, more and more people are talking about it.

I want this debate to have better ratings than the Biden/Trump ‘debate’. That would kill the apprentice guy.

Out of money for the moment, but doing phonebanking tomorrow, even though I hate it.

Well I just switched over to MSNBC where Steve Schmidt is about to unload.

@Mike in NC:
Ooh, thanks for the tip! Restored can wait until later. Tudor revival anyway, meh.

Just saw the vid Trump released today. Looks like he uses Minwax as a bronzer. Is tomorrow the day he crashes from a viral resurgence or the Dexy and steroids wearing off?
Mike in NC
Just saw the video of Pence and the fly. He should always be hooked up to instruments to monitor his vital signs.

An exclusive interview with the fly – Alexandra Petri
So, you’re the fly from the vice-presidential debate.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
You were on Mike Pence’s head. From what I can gather of your age, you spent — that’s — that’s like if I were to spend a month on Mike Pence’s head. Maybe even longer. How long were those minutes for you?
BZZZZZZZZ
And on it goes ……

@TS (the original): Important to remember that the for the fly, the time spent on Pence’s head was in fly years. What sacrifice. The horror of it makes me shudder. Oh, the Dipteranity!
frosty
@TS (the original): That was a great interview with the fly. And a great punchline!
Geoduck
@TS (the original):
The fly also has his own Twitter feed.
Bruce K
@Geoduck: Multiple Twitter accounts claiming to belong to the fly. Which one will get the blue check mark? Which one is a Biden/Harris operative? Which one is a Russian operative? And the most critical question of all: how do we ensure that henceforth, the only important courtiers for Trump and Pence are the fly’s kindred?

Drumpf lost the favor of the gods when he caught covid. The people noticed, and the polls moved against him.
The gods exposed his madness in the first debate. The people noticed, and the polls moved against him.
Pence lost the favor of the gods when fly and pinkeye descended upon him. The people noticed, and the polls moved against him.

@frosty:
It wasn’t the best I have read from Ms Petri, but so very well timed & suitable for the moment. Much truth in comedy.
TS (the original)
@Geoduck:
My gosh, that twitter handle could be read in a couple of ways! I guess that was the plan.
Aziz, light!
Alexandra Petri’s previous column is one for the ages. Masterful work.
