The Veep Debate!


 It was all about The Fly. I know. We've heard all the jokes about flies and shit and the fly being Pence's only black friend and the fly being tested for Covid. But what this debate was really about was a Trump clone with a oozing eye and a black woman introducing herself to America.

Look, Pence lied all night, went over his time, didn't answer any questions and showed a disdain for both women on that stage. Him mansplaining race relations to a black woman was particularly grating. Him lying about the utter failure of this putrid administration to protect Americans health was jaw dropping. His failure to actually state what we all know, that he would throw women in jail for having an abortion, was stunning. And the fact he and his Karen don't follow rules because they don't think they have to (check her maskless prune face at the end) is typical Trump enabler behavior. But that fly. 

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris was saying hi America, I'm the person who may take over if the 78 year old guy falters . Did she pass? Of course she did. The right wingers who hate women are scared shitless calling her names and a President called her a communist (hello 1955) and a monster. The Covid King is also scared to death. The moderates all say well she seems reasonable and smart. The lefties all say ehhhhh she's a prosecutor but these are tough times so whatever. Besides, we may need her when Barr and the Republican fascists try and steal the election which they are going to do . A tough in your face Prosecutor staring down a weasel like Bill Barr and telling him NO.

I wasnt a fan early in the primaries. She was no Liz Warren. She was fearless yes, but not Liz fearless. Then she was gone . But as time went on I realized Trump understands just one thing, a kick in the balls. She was willing and able. She aint afraid of no ghosts.

Kamala Harris won the debate last night. Sorry Trumpers, but lies arent the truth and spending 90 minutes lying like the true Christian he isn't, Pence did himself no favors. In fact he probably needs a Covid test like yesterday. He looked sick as hell. Think Trump cares if he infected his lap dog? Fuck no, he expects Pence to die for him if necessary. And Pence is enough of a spineless gutter snipe that he might. Then Karen could establish her Handmaids Tale Queendom. 

The debate didnt change one mind. It pissed off most women with any dignity when Pence interrupted and mansplained , and condescended to the moderator and the Senator, both women of accomplishment. Its like Pence was the first husband. The one they vowed never to return to. Women are saving this country in 26 days and Pence solidified it. As ugly as Trump is, Pence is more real, more of the terrible man that's been in every woman's life.

26 Days. And then another untold number of days of Republican fascists trying to steal the election by manipulating their appointed judges into ruling that 60 million is more than 70 million. And it may happen. This country s is changed forever. And not for the better.

I'm sure you meant "60 millions is more than 70 millions"!
