"Will you shut up, man?" US Politics October 2020

don't think her cranking her energy down to Pence levels was a bad thing strategically

man, seriously, is Pence ill?

well, I doubt any of that helped Trump's poll numbers at all

xp I HOPE SO

Harris is conscious of not looking like an Angry POC.

Americans deserve candidates with energy levels that not only accurately reflect their own individual energy levels, but also reflect the collective energy level of the electorate. This is something that I feel quite strongly about, and something that I will continue to feel strongly about, as well.

let's ask the president for steroids

let's ask his son for coke

Took this in 1960-style; first half on the radio coming home, the rest on TV. Does make a difference, even absent any five o'clock shadow on Pence. Can't see that anything happened that will stick. Harris was mostly fine (better on TV, when you could see her reacting to Pence), Pence typically unctuous and just plain weird. I thought Harris's last answer was her best. The one time I thought she really missed was not coming back hard at Pence when he was going on about her politicizing vaccines. She couldn't have been clearer in her answer just before: she'd be first in line if the doctors okayed it, but she wouldn't go near one on Trump's say-so alone. She should've gone back to that, but she didn't.

XP He'd give us Borax.

Didn't think Susan Page was very good in cutting Pence off.

insane shit is gonna happen in about 12 hours and no one's gonna remember a thing from this

a thing from what?

Should have said Will you shut up, man?

:)

this is kinda funny though

just heard that Biden staff sent out a pic that's just him with a flyswatter

Now I'm wondering if the reason Harris is not making an issue of Pence talking all over her time is to further alienate the GOP from women voters.

lol xp

(xpost) Good point. It's like they gave that a test run in the first debate and found it worked really well.

And the fly
On your head
And the fly
Means you’re dead
In your hair
In your hair
It is crawling

In your hair
In your ha-a-air

The limitations of radio: I missed the damn fly.

I've seen a lot of jokes calling the fly Pence's first black friend.

Pence's one answer was ludicrous: never mind the 200,000 who have died from COVID, if Obama hadn't gotten lucky, two million would have died from Swine Flu!

The fly was at the end, clem.

Harris really could have taken advantage of the split-screen perma-close-up format with the occasional rolleye and down-camera headcock towards Pence on bullshit she wasn't going to bog down in

One thing I don’t need is a bunch of white dudes passing Harris GIFs with “yaaaaaaas” captions so I’m very glad she didn’t do that

Ban reaction gifs imo

Damn, could have seen it--I moved to the computer in the next room towards the end. Didn't Obama have a famous moment with a fly? Maybe it was a fifth-generation descendent of Obama's fly.

Patton Oswalt:

Everyone who's tweeting, "I'm bored" -- this is SUPPOSED TO BE BORING. POLITICS SHOULD BE BORING, COMPETENT PEOPLE TAKING CARE OF SHIT SO YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE. IT SHOULDN'T GOBBLE UP ALL THE OXYGEN IN EXISTENCE. The fuck is wrong with everyone?

shut up and say "Pretty fly for a white guy," Patton

RIP fly memes, 10:17pm–10:47pm EDT

Wish Ilhan (and pretty much everyone who posts online) would proofread.

oh, how fast memes do.....................................................................................fly
