Whooookay here we go! I don't know that any of us are ready for this but we're gonna do this anyway

Before I forget shout out to the mountain states love us all

Okay back to business.

Kamala Harris about to make history here no matter what happens

Audience members have to scream inside their hearts throughout the debate, just like the rest of us

Debate opening with a subtweet of the president from the last debate

Debate opens with COVID and question to Harris is what would a Biden administration do

Harris starts with an opening statement like a seasoned prosecutor would

Pence asked why so many Americans are dying from COVID

Pence blames China

sorry I had to grab some pizza and I missed Pence's thoughts and prayers

Pence and Republicans are going to try and paint Democrats as FailKids

Oh fun now we're talking about the social spreading event that is Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination circus

Mike Pence talking about a Supreme Court vacancy "happening upon us" is real clear Dominionst whistles.

Presidential disability is the second topic and wow Pence dodges literally won't answer

Pence basically giving the tell that the Trump administration is trying to roll out a vaccine during the election

Pence using the question on presidential disability to talk about anything other than Trump's health and well being and how it impacts leadership

Pence has zero charisma and also zero scruples it's a wild combination in national politics

Next question is about Trump's doctors misleading the public on the president's health

Literally Mike Pence just said he "knows the feeling" about the historic nature of Kamala Harris' nomination which lol that was a moment

Now Mike Pence is talking about the tens of millions of dollars that Trump has paid in taxes

Oh god a bad faith taxes question to Harris.

She is solid on her answer and I also feel like there is some of Mayor Pete's prep help here too.

That was a decidedly different way of taking that question on and I'm not pro-capital but that was good

Pence talking to country club Republicans right now

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

Pence now basically

Also proud of my initial restraint on not making a cuntry club republican joke but that failed

Good on Harris for controlling her time since the moderator wont

Here's your reminder that Republicans have claimed to have a health care plan for the last ten years and the only plan is lolol good luck suckers

Gonna talk about climate change with Mike Pence

Lets also talk about dinosaurs and how he thinks they walked the earth with humans

Green New Deal is really so scary for these folks and I think that should tell us all about how important and impactful a Green New Deal would be

I've been in this game for a while now and I haven't seen conservatives as shook about a policy proposal as they are about the Green New Deal since the Affordable Care Act

"As I said Susan" only makes me think "Jane you ignorant slut" and I can't help the way my brain works

Honestly having Mayor Pete play Pence in debate prep is perfect. I can HEAR Pete saying "you're entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts" in the mock debate

Have Mayor Pete play Mike Pence on SNL you cowards

Mike Pence just called Kamala Harris more liberal than Bernie Sanders like he's intentionally trying to fuck up my mentions for covering this debate

I know this is impolite but Mike Pence has a weird tan am I the only one who will say this

Also I need to talk about the dead eyes

Pence has dead eyes and I wont take it back

O MY GOD IS MIKE PENCE THE OUTSIDER

Mike Pence is not about to respect female authority and Susan isn't about to make him, apparently

Now we're talking about the Supreme Court and Amy Coney Barrett and I should get another can of wine because here is the abortion question

To Pence: If Roe v Wade is overturned what do you want Indiana to do

Mike Pence starts by talking about not abortion

I think it is worth noting that when given the opportunity to be square with the american public about his entire campaign to end legal abortion Mike Pence punts because he knows its deeply unpopular and undemocratic

Mike Pence immediately invokes Amy Coney Barrett's status as a mom

Pence trying to suggest Democrats are anti-Catholic.

Pelosi is a Catholic. Biden is a Catholic. 5.5 SCOTUS justices are Catholic.

Harris starts off by noting that if Biden is elected he'll only be the second Catholic ever elected to the presidency.

And reminder:

Don't Fall For Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett's Motherhood Trap

rewirenewsgroup.com/article/2020/0…

Harris also ties Amy Coney Barrett to the attacks on the ACA.

The Supreme Court hears that case on November 10th

Now Mike Pence is not apologizing for being pro-life

Tax payer funded abortion up to the moment of birth is a thing Pence just said.

It is also a total lie and one that gets providers attacked and sometimes killed

O MY GOD PENCE TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRATS CHANGING THE RULES ON JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS JUST SENT ME NUCLEAR

I just deleted like 12 tweets right now

Republicans are as scared of expanding the court as they are of the Green New Deal

PAY ATTENTION TO THAT

Mike Pence says his heart breaks for the loss of any innocent life and also he trusts the justice system so make of that what you will

I make of it that Mike Pence is preeeeety racist

The pained delivery of Mike Pence is ripe for lampooning

Who is the witch responsible for the fly staying on Mike Pence's head I SALUTE YOU

Grabbed another can of wine what did I miss

Oh I see I came back to Trump loving his Jewish grand kids

I'm really stressed about a peaceful transfer of power so I appreciate this question

Here comes Pence not answering the question about a peaceful transfer of power and nobody will probably talk about it tomorrow

Pence is repeating Trump's talking points of being spied on that Trump uses to "joke" about staying in power for more than 8 years so.....

There's your tell. They don't plan to leave.

So I guess we're done!

That was fine.

My first thought is the fly really won tonight's debate. Strong showing. Didn't waver. But knew when enough was enough.

My second thought is it's a unique political gift to both lie with abandon while sucking the energy out of a room.

1000% convinced Mike Pence is an energy vampire and maybe the inspiration for Collin Peterson

Do I have a third?

Gimme a second

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COLLIN ROBINSON BUT I SAID PETERSON AND THAT IS MAYBE EVEN FUNNIER

To like the 10 of you who both know middling politics and What We Do In the Shadows

Someone take away my keyboard pls 😂😂😂

Maybe the joke is that all Collin's are energy vampires

All kidding aside Kamala Harris made history and had an impossible task and handling it with the kind of unflappale grace we demand of Black women in a way that truly sucks
