The debate is here! (Well, as I write this, almost here.) And I am practically jumping out of my own skin. How about you all? Discuss.

We Hunted the Mammoth tracks and mocks the white male rage underlying the rise of Trump and Trumpism. This blog is NOT a safe space; given the subject matter -- misogyny and hate -- there's really no way it could be.

Oh my. That’s something.
OoglyBoggles: magnificent!!!
A handful of articles off Yahoo Finance about the debate:
First, a succulent rebuttal from one of Clintn’s advisors over Trump’s reference to Captain Khan:

And the Khan family’s response to Trump:

Democrats and Rebublicans agree that threatening to jail your opponent is unAmerican:

And five of the best tweets of the night, according to the Yahoo peeps:

Enjoy. Or not.
One of my favorite tweets of the night from John Fugelsang:
“Trump’s worst nightmare. 2 women and a gay man telling him not to talk. #debate”
I kept thinking of Tor Johnson in Plan 9.

@Oogly: Bless your face, that was the EXACT face I was thinking of too. XD
I’m going to take a nap, and come back in a few hours with the other idea I had.
Extra link I found that might interest folks here. This writer only listened to the debate on the radio, and he had a little different interpretation of how bad/good the candidates were. Still agreed Hillary won it, though.
@imaginary petal
I can understand why she would be angry at Clinton and feel wronged over the outcome of her court case but I don’t understand how she and the women accusing Bill of raping them don’t understand that by supporting Trump (who has been accused of rape) and calling him a champion of rape victims they are literally doing the same thing that they are accusing Hillary of and I think you can be critical of how these women are acting in this election without denying their feelings or experience

Apple cider and mochi ice cream? I like the way you celebrate!
Long time lurker. De-lurking just to say that.
