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.
There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.
Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.
And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.
So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.
I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.
Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.
Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity
The choice is between normal and crazy.
Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.
Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.
The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.
Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.
“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!
It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.
You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.
Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.
Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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.

@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.
