Harris’ performance made her hopeful political leaders across the aisle could soon again work “towards some sort of common truth.” Aired on 10/08/2020

Caroline Randall Williams On Sen. Harris’ Historic Debate Performance | The Last Word | MSNBC
Harris flipped Pence like a flapjack nuff said.
I love how all the deplorables are trying to project SO hard “pEnCe dEsTrOyEd hArRiS!11!!!1!”. So funny. Karmala made him look like a shifty robot.
STONG BLACK WOMAN, I LOVE KAMALA.
“Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.” Mike Lee GOP Covid Carrier
This should motivate anyone who believes power belongs in the hands of the people & not the “elites”, to vote

Socrates was anti-democratic. He feared the “people.” Socrates thought that only those who had thought deeply about the issues chould vote. Ergo, being born is not a valid qualification to be able to vote.
I have absolutely no respect for Susan Page. She was deplorable.
vincent maldon
How so?
vincent maldon Page acted like a whiny little school-girl who was terrified of getting a man’s disapproving glare. She IS so deplorable.
You don’t even know what you are talking about, sheep!
Weak moderator needed a gavel and to not be complicit in pences misogyny.
Blair Haffly Moderator was playing the little-girl-game of being submissive to a man who expected it of her. She’s weak and childish, embarrassingly so.
Moderator needed a dog shock collar. Reinforces previously given instructions.
So stupid, how ya’ll think.
Sky news Australia is owned by Fox News & you can tell. Sky news here is saying how the VP owned the debate & how he is soo great. They say the same about trump. Not 1 negative thing on Sky News Australia about anything trump or pence has done all because Fox owns them. Its amazing just how far down the rabbit hole fox has gone to spread propaganda for the current american Govt. I wonder whats in it for Lachlan Murdoch
The Murdochs are the villains. They are beavering away behind the scenes sowing discord and disinformation.
Even the Russian trolls are realizing that Trump is an absolute sinking ship..
Last time I checked Russia didn’t release no virus to the world.
Beijing Biden knows who did.
That’s the whole plan Putin knows Trump is weak and profiled him and knew he’d blow up America while taking himself down and would take down America with him… However what no one can calculate is nature or the human spirit and that’s why America will survive Trump, Putin , the cult and at the ballot box we will get the last say as well as the last laugh 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
John Bat he will on the first day in office Putin only has the power to strike us just like all bullies if you give the power to do so 😷😷😷
You gather that from this debate bro? Actually its the other way around kamala made Joe look like an old man who doesn’t know rather he’s coming or going.(which he already doesn’t)
@Not today satan! from the debate, no. From his drug induced grandiose Idiocy. Watch the movie.. and I’m not your bro. Brother
Mike Pence’s new nickname, “Lord of the Flies!
She is such a beautiful and intelligent woman, amazing
WHYYYYY do they fear MUTING THE MIC!?!??🤬🤬🤬
The fly landed on Pence because flies can detect rotten festering meat.
They also eat sh1t so the Pents and the fly had that in komen.
The fly debated better than Kamala
susan page should go home FOREVER and sleep under her mamma’s bed
Susan Page was much worse than the first moderator, all that “thank you, mr. Vice President “ when he was being rude and selfish. She had a much easier job than Mr. Wallace.
I have problems with Susan Page, but to be honest, unless the moderators get some teeth to be able to enforce the rules (up to and including ejecting someone from the debate), they will continue to be milquetoast.
Sarcasm is completely wasted on the totally self consumed dense.
I was supporting her before Biden became the Canidate. I’m thrilled.
Susan Page is a sad example of what a crappy “newspaper” USA Today has always been.
MAGA – Vote a career politian out of office.
My wife didn’t like Harris’ constant smirking! Plus – she wouldn’t answer about stacking the SC! SHE also LIED about Biden not wanting to end fracking bec. we’ve seen several videos where they BOTH say they would end fracking!!!!! WE DON’T TRUST HER!!!!
Stop hiding behind your wife. Man up!
Decaying flesh jokes aside, flies are also attracted to certain sweetness odors generated by disease. Dogs have been trained to spot active Covid carriers because they evince an ever so slight sweet odor. There’s a strong possibility that Pence was infected but was asymptomatic. (possible sweet odor and the pink eyes) Testing negative with the Abbott test (the only one the Trump administration likes to use because it gives quick answers) provides false negatives between 40-60% of the time during the first week after exposure.
Calls out “Joe” associating with racists and Robert Byrd in Democratic Presidential debates.
Happily accepts being VP running mate.
