Kamala Side Eye & Pence’s Head Fly
The VP debate was a far more traditional and cogent affair than the Presidential Debate. The Candidates actually addressed policy and mostly refrained from personal insults or shouting over one another.
The pandemic was the first topic of the VP Debate Wednesday night and throughout the debate, whether the question was about the economy or health care, Harris returned to the administration’s response to the pandemic, and Pence recited classic conservative ideology while continually going over time and speaking over the moderator.
When Pence would take shots at Kamala’s record, and take much longer than his allotted time, he got the side-eye from Senator Harris.

Pence, also touted what he called ‘record-setting progress on developing a vaccine’ and pledged, as Trump has, that millions of doses would be available by the end of the year. Harris, now famously said she would take a vaccine approved by medical professionals, but “if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I’m not taking it.”

Pence said Harris was seeking to “undermine public confidence” in the effort to develop and approve a vaccine. “Stop playing politics with people’s lives,” he said. Which fell flat, given that Pence still refuses to wear a mask in public, while 34 Whitehouse staffers and contacts along with the President himself have now caught COVID.
Curiously, in the middle of the debate a flay landed on Pence’s very white head of hair, and remained for over two minutes. Which made for a bit of distraction when he spoke. Everyone’s favorite tv ‘Veep’, Julia Louis-Dreyfus weighed in on twitter:

The next morning she had a change of heart:
Actually, forget it. Too obvious.

President Trump, who currently has COVID, has refused to attend a second Presidential debate.
