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