But that fly was bilingual. I'm pretty sure it was born in America too, but Trump will deny it.

I thought at first my TV had sprung some dead pixels, I had fallen asleep and awoke to see the fly, only when pense moved ghis head did I see what it was. Hard for the little guy to ignore the stank of that much shit.

I agree. However if she was more forceful she would have been called nasty or bitch or some other derogatory name for doing exactly what pence did.

It would have been justified but America can’t handle that. She is a pro and knows this simple truth. Women aren’t allowed to be angry in American politics, especially in a general election.

Do not underestimate the double standard in America for what a man can get away with versus a woman.

I'm saying I don't know what is the major driver in the right wanting to get rid of it, both probably.

Their major driver is the same as it is for everything, they don't give a fuck about anyone they don't identify with and they'll agree with whatever their authority tells them to.

I completely missed it. I was to busy arguing with someone on Facebook regarding Pence calling Obama 14k dead a failure and Trumps 215k and counting a success. Also and to point out the H1N1 vaccine was being mass distributed within six months of H1N1...
This whole false narrative on h1n1 pisses me off.

Just the fact that they need to keep reminding everyone that there was a virus back then tells you it was weak.

"Remember in 2009 and there was the swine flu?!"

-"umm, no, not really. I remember in 2009 that the economy had imploded from the last R president..."

"No. There was. It was bad. Totally worse than now. So bad you can't remember. But you remember corona, that's because we're doing a great job *cough*"

Are people's memory so short they don't remember republicans with trump's direction almost did repeal the ACA? They did not have a plan to replace it and still don't.

It's true and it's been over 3 years and still no plan. Goes to show, Obama and team did a phenomenal job. The Republicans can't even fake a plan.
 
Doh! Missed the debate. Is it true Mike Pence forgot to zip up his fly on national television? 😀

Reactionaries do not have memories, by definition. They live in a constant now without memory, except for how they can twist the past to serve their now.
 
a wizard!

crazy and a bit scary how there's only a 2% gap for men as to who won the debate. But then I remember all the proud racists out there and the many closet ones. I'm not saying it was 100/0 for Harris, but 48/46% WTF? Even if there was the 7.7% margin of error all in Harris's favor 55/39%'s still hard for me to understand. Pence was terribad. Now I understand though why I rarely hear him speak.

The male part of the population needs a culling.

Kamala showed a lot of humanity, Pence none whatsoever. She won votes versus the guy with the bug on his head.

You know, I had an idea. That black fly on Pence's ultra-white head can be seen as a metaphor for how black Americans feel in white supremacist America.

Uh oh... no this means that the VP debate actually tore into female Trump base...
30%? That is 8-10% too deep for comfort, bad news for team Trump.
(also, why is men more likely to be morons than women?)

I've been saying right along (because B&H have polled better with women than men) that it is the women who will save us. Yes, men are morons and I prefer the company of women as a rule. 😀 The fact that it was 48/46 in men polling tells you, men by and large are a confused, absurd bunch.

Edit: OK, should note that many men are anything but morons and many women are morons, to be fair.

I always assume they have some kind of personal financial interest in whatever decisions they make that has nothing to do with the best interests of the country or others.
 
Re: the gender gap on Pence's performace

My mom texted me outraged that he kept talking over her. I'm going to suspect that tactic wasn't all too popular with female voters who they desperately need to flip some of into their column.

How many more clues do people need to tell us to get rid of this administration

I think that was Harris's play all along. I have no doubt she could have bulldozed him if she wanted.
 
My wife summed up her view of the debate in one word-mansplaining. Pence, in other words, inadvertently did his absolute best to further turn off woman voters.
