Last night's debate between Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence was an easier show to watch than the shit show that was the presidential debate, but only by a matter of degree. The most notable difference being that when Mike Pence was going over his allotted time, as he did for every question, he did it in a quieter tone of voice than his boss did. Otherwise it was clear that, going forward, the moderators of future debates, if there are to be any, must have a switch to kill the microphones of the candidates, but mostly for Donald Trump. Its clear that the R.N.C. or the Trump campaign or whoever it is that agrees to the rules for the debates on behalf of the President and Vice President simply lies when agreeing to the rules for the debates because they have absolutely no intention whatsoever of actually abiding by the rules! So, going forward the moderator of each debate must have the ability to kill the microphone of each candidate, and they must actually use it!

Mute Switch for Republicans Going Forward

Astounding Hypocrisy
So, the President is right back to where he has been all along, downplaying the effects of the corona virus based on his own experience. "Don't be afraid of the virus," Trump says. Those are words easily spoken by a man who has access to the very best socialized medicine in the entire world. AND, all this while he is trying to roll back the Affordable Care Act and take away insurance for approximately six million people, during a pandemic. And because of the lingering effects of this corona virus, it becomes a preexisting condition which would bar millions more people from health care if the president has his way.
And don't worry, I know he hasn't done it, at least not directly, but I still have faith in the smallness and pettiness of this president and I still say he will find a way to insult or belittle people, directly, who have suffered this disease and who have died from it. He will find a way to say that people who died from this virus weren't strong enough or that it was somehow their fault that they died. You watch, he'll do it.
