That fly on Pence is a fascinating contrast to Bernie Sanders and the birdie he attracted when speaking in 2016. Do you all remember? It was very sweet!
There is such a marked difference between how the Bidens embraced after the debate, with genuine love and affection, and Twitler and wife.
Tonight, too, between Kamala and Doug, real love and affection and pride. Pence and Mother looked like Evangelical Ken and Barbie on an awkward first date.
Mammas. Don't let yer MAGAts. Grow up. To be > houseflies
Love a meme I just saw. RBG in her justice gown saying: "I sent the fly."
?
I put this over in the random predictions thread as well but it looks like Donald has decided to sit the next debate out given it's change in venue to virtual.
This article makes it sound like the debate commission is trying to decide what to do. I've got a suggestion - give it to Biden and Harris! If T doesn't want it (and lets face it, if he's able to he'll do a bunch of press conferences at the white house to distract) give it to someone who does :-)

Need a good icing-on-the-cake laugh this morning, after the fly incident from last night?
T. went on Fox news and gave his latest interview. He said, "I'm back because I am a perfect physical specimen and I'm extremely young. And I'm so lucky in that way." ? I've seen melted candy bars in better shape.
He also called Kamala Harris a "monster." I see he's risen above dehumanizing people. She is one of the smartest women I've ever heard and gave an amazing debate performance. "Excuse me, Mr. Vice-President, I'm speaking. I'm speaking now, OK?" ? Charming smile and cool stare.
Other noteworthy comments-Joe Biden is "not mentally capable", he (T) is "essentially very clean," "doesn't think he's contagious at all," and "could've been out of the hospital in a day."
Oh, and Harris the communist is going to open our borders so murderers and rapists can pour into our country. He does like to take about the latter. Projection is so ironic.
This. This is what happens when you refuse to condone white supremacists when given the opportunity. This is what happens when you tell them to "stand ready".
The arrest in Cadillac was about 6 miles from my home, near my kids school - I just heard about all of this today for the first time.

Thank god for the FBI and local law enforcement agencies.
EDIT: Local news is showing a place that matches my description above, but depending on the channel, there was an arrest there, or they just stopped there to question someone. UGH! Waiting for the livestream of the press conference to begin.
SECOND EDIT: Michigan’s AG (We love her) announced that their plans also included investigating planting explosives at the capital, creation of said explosive devices, targeting law enforcement officers homes in addition to the kidnapping of Whitmer and other unnamed politicians.
And one of the arrests was in fact in Cadillac.
You guys, my heart is heavy right now that this level of hate can exist. I’m so, so grateful this was thwarted.
@cc21 I have anger tears at my desk right now.
Michiganders can disagree on politics and still crack open a bottle of Bells Oberon together. This is domestic terrorism, condoned by the top elected official in our land.
The key needs to be thrown away if they're found guilty of what AG Dana Nessel just described. Thank god these people were caught.
I have two hours to figure out how to calm down enough to talk to my daughters about this, and the fact that our house is surrounded by homes where these people live.
