Ok I’m disappointed the set doesn’t *actually* look like Tron, but I’ll get over it. Probably.

Another missed opportunity of 2020.

My VP Debate thread, such as it is, will commence below: /1

The bar is so low for Pence tonight, if his head doesn’t spin around like the exorcist, or he doesn’t collapse in covid-fever mid-debate, he’ll have passed (in very pass/fail sense) /2

Pence’s make-up is a fail; looks like mildly warmed death. Kamala, flawless.

Kamala writes down TUMULTUOUS on her pad.

I think a blood vessel just ruptured in Pence’s eye? No, like actually.

Pence is going for his signature sad head shake of denial as Kamala lists facts.

Seriously what is happening to Pence’s one eye? Is it bionic so potus can see out if it too?

Pence, who represents an admin that has cut immigration and refugee numbers deeply, race-baited, mongered fear re everyone not white and from the 1950s — calls Biden xenophobic.

Ok sure. 🙄

The faux sincerity is melting like acid through the plexiglass. It’s was an honor to get covid from a chickenpox party, he says.

Kamala is not undermining confidence in the vaccine.

Pence did not answer the question about whether the line of succession is secure if POTUS is incapacitated.

🎶 🎵 Mike Pence is not answering any questions 🎶
🎵 He just wants you to think he believes women are his equal, but made sure you know this was a gracious gesture by him to say so 🎶 🎵

Pence now lying about Trump taxes, that Trump hires illegal workers at his resorts, saying words, so many words, with fake sincere nods

This debate is terrible. Too many trained talking points and set pieces, no candor, just awful.

Useless.

Pence refuses to answer any question because actually he’s just a Chatty Cathy doll, and he can only say a certain number of things when you pull the string.

We just got chased out of Iraq because this admin’s Iran policy isn’t totally failed btw.

Listening to Pence on foreign policy: please remember right now we are the laughing stock of the world

Also remember there’s a lot of stuff from pre-Trump we need to address, especially on Russia and great power completion:

Laughed out loud at Pence complaining about not answering questions! What a ******* *******

The fly resting on Pence’s hair raises questions about whether he is alive or not.

His eyes are getting redder and redder and honestly I have questions
