Court-packing.
Elect Joe. It's coming.
Well - we're moving firmly into the era of "if you have the votes, do it".
Well, it certainly worked for Dingy Harry.
And look where it got you.

My summary:
-
a better debate than last week, for what little that’s worth
-
both sides managed to say what they needed to say to not upset or disappoint their people
-
this changes nothing, like every other VP debate.

As if the fucking debates weren't already like horror movies. Now, there's a fly crawling into his orifices like he's a freaking Nazgul.

Daily Beast: Honest Headline Shut Us Down
"We had nothing to lose," said one editor, "so we decided to take a flyer and tell the truth." DB's website was down for 17 minutes as a shocked America tuned in to witness the phenomenon. "Knocked the crap out of our servers," he added.
The headline? VEEP DEBATE AS BORING AND POINTLESS AS POLLS PREDICTED IT WOULD BE. "Nothing to see here," the lede said.
"Well, except for the fly," said Ernest Schlachtman of Biloxi, Mississippi in a man-on-the-street interview.

This is fly-related but a serious comment so I’m posting here.
The Trump campaign hasn’t been able to come up with a single humorous spin on the fly yet. My guess is by the end of the day they’ll settle on Rand’s deep state joke.

Turley sums it up:
Overall I thought both Harris and Pence did well though I would have liked fewer smirks from one and fewer overruns from the other. The problem is that the lack of follow up questions resulted in little more than rote answers. This was a debate that was more about the delivery than scrutiny of the candidates. Both made comments that could have been seriously challenged but were brushed aside for the next topic. Moderators need to be able to cover less in order to uncover more with followup questions.
In the end, the most notable performance was the fly. It showed everything that was missing in the debate: spontaneity, clarity of position, and ability to adapt.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The only question that mattered much last night was the last one from the eighth grader.
Why?
I think a lot of the others were good, but neither side was willing to answer

That's because it's by politico. A leftwing trash rag that knows Pence kicked her ass.

That is precisely why.
