OMG, re: Brad, those body cam photos are nuts, but this one may be the best:

Vice President Pence has canceled his trip to Indiana on Friday where he was going to participate in early voting.

The advance team was not able to assure Pence that the region had been completely cleared of houseflies.

"After all, what actually is a "tough guy"?"

Apparently you define it as "anyone who can inflict harm on others"

do: by that definition, everyone is a tough guy

tough guy quiz.

you see a turtle walking in the middle of a busy intersection:

do you

1) eat it
2) help save it's life
3) shout insults at it for 20 minutes as it walks across, then go home and cry because you'll never know "real love"

Let’s just say it… Suburban women sense that Pence knows how to lay pipe.@JesseKellyDC https://t.co/I9PfAg8o9r

I have to assume that phrase doesn’t mean what I thought it did

Wasn't Schlichter recently musing on how much pussy Barron was gonna get during the second term?

Are suburban women afflicted with a scat fetish?

i demand that we end this conversation right now

I feel like there’s a lay pipe/ lay cable joek at the beginning of The Boys that’s instructive here

This McConnell thing--avoiding the White House for two months because "my impression was their approach to how to handle this is different from mine"--I know it's not a big story, but the mere fact of McConnell publicly voicing anything other than abject obsequiousness can't be reassuring to Trump.

Pfft, it makes sense that Pence would leave his fly up.

just putting this here for reference, the Michigan affidavit

Yeah -- it's what The Fixx called a secret separation

You know I'm not an '80s guy, so, honest to god, it took me about 10 seconds before I realized The Fixx wasn't a political website like Politico or TPM.

man Buttigieg is going hard in this interview, I gotta admit

thank you, MatthewK, can't wait to traumatize friends with that

Mike Pence probably shakes his wife's hand post-coitus, maybe pats her back

There's never a post-coitus

Decent chance the Pences are absolute freaks in bed tbh.

The whole mother thing is just roleplay, gets him harder because they can do it in public.

Isn't her ex husband the Viagra creator? Or something like that? She may still be very much in charge of that aspect if so.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday revealed that he is currently taking ineffective coronavirus therapeutic hydroxychloroquine in an effort to fend off a possible COVID-19 infection...

Don't stop believing.

his head is going to be humpty dumpty sized

This is a masterclass in gibberish

Apparently him on Hannity tonight is...a thing.

Yikes. Trump's voice is extremely hoarse and at one point gave out. pic.twitter.com/kf0gwNyPCI

Trump is on some kind of a rant about California dumping water into the Pacific because of some tiny little fish that doesn’t do well with something something, and then he went off on forest fires and Hannity is trying to stop him

— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) October 9, 2020

So... he's not a 'senior citizen', I gather? No royal 'We'?
He lives in Florida.

Okay, yes, I'm convinced that he is actively trying to lose

Governor Whitmer of Michigan has done a terrible job. She locked down her state for everyone, except her husband’s boating activities. The Federal Government provided tremendous help to the Great People of Michigan. My Justice Department and Federal Law Enforcement announced...

...today that they foiled a dangerous plot against the Governor of Michigan. Rather than say thank you, she calls me a White Supremacist—while Biden and Democrats refuse to condemn Antifa, Anarchists, Looters and Mobs that burn down Democrat run cities...

...I do not tolerate ANY extreme violence. Defending ALL Americans, even those who oppose and attack me, is what I will always do as your President! Governor Whitmer—open up your state, open up your schools, and open up your churches!

My "I do not tolerate ANY extreme violence" shirt raises a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

They oscillated the mic, and they actually oscillated it very seriously? Did they also oscillate it ... wildly?

he's gonna be rehospitalized by this weekend

I hope he dies as he lived ... dead.

Mayor Pete has been very very good on Fox News. I think people underestimated him. I’m sure he’ll have a cabinet position. Or maybe he’s jockeying for VP.
