Sounds like I didn't miss much.

Anyway, there seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for Harris post debate. I honestly didn't see that coming.

How many fingers am I holding up ? Didn't see that coming either, did ya ?

News flash: If it didn't happen you likely won't see it coming !!!

That’s what the court is there for, as a counter weight to any push left or right of government. Look at how the courts have kept Trump in check, even the conservative judges have went against Trump.

The first two questions by the moderator set the tone for the rest of the debate.

First she tees up a softball to elicit or allow criticism by Harris of the Covid response by the current administration, which by the way the Democrats have no track record to criticize, because it is a unique situation that they never faced when in a position of power.

Then the moderator asks Pence a question that was designed to steer him away from responding to Harris's criticism. He refused to play the moderator's game, though and responded to Harris's claims.

It's too bad the candidates cannot play videos of the opponents saying what they would have done at the time the situation is playing out, so the viewers can actually see how their mistaken ideas might have caused more problems. Since the Dems were not in power all we have is what they said in the past, and the libs refuse to tune in to conservative or balanced news outlets reporting the past comments that dispute what they say in debates.

That's pretty wild that you wouldn't want to know that answer!
The GOP raised this to an art form by refusing to hold hearings on Obama's nominees to the courts, almost 100 were held up. This is what McConnell said to Hannity on Fox when asked why:


"I'll tell you why," Mr McConnell said, laughing. "I was in charge of what we did the last two years of the Obama administration."

Mr Hannity said: "I will give you full credit for that, and by the way, take a bow."

It is curious to wake up in the morning and suddenly, everyone is making jokes about the house fly, posting memes of how great he it, of what a wonderful volunteering citizen he is..........................and have no clue to what the heck is going on.

Then, I recalled that the VP debates were last night and figured it had to be about that and so here I am.

So what is all this stuff about flies? Please don't tell me to google it because google is WORTHLESS no later than an hour after the fact and often, a lot sooner than that.

So why all this attention, suddenly, on the house fly?

The bolded is quite obvious.

Going to be honest here, my biggest takeaway from it was that I was no longer confident in saying Hillary Clinton had to be the most unlikable female candidate on the planet. I never understood why Harris bombed so spectacularly during the primaries - I understand why now.

There is a huge number of well armed Americans who will not accept Karen Harris as a President if Biden kicks. She might be the last President.

Incorrect....…. the court exists to determine if a law passed by government is constitutional. The court should follow the letter of the constitution as written. If you disagree with the constitution there is a system in place to change it.

I’m pretty sure that’s what I just said. Counter weight to extreme ideas. Sorry I only know English.
