I’m opening this thread a bit early today because holy crap is there a lot to talk about.
In the meantime, I’m going to prepare for the debate by taking a nap.

Final Debate! Open Thread!
We Hunted The MammothBucking the Backlash
Right now, i’m just hoping republicans lose senate majority. Orange Mussolini scares me less than he used to.
@VP Best fishes! 😉 <3
I’ll be picking up a bottle of tequila and walking to a friend’s house. We’ve watched both Clinton-Trump debates as well as the Kaine-Pence one. I feel like we should finish this journey together. First bottle of tequila, though.
I’ll be coming off a 12-hour work shift standing on my feet all day. I’ll probably soak in the tub, follow this comment thread, and play Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess on my Wii U tablet
Laser queen…this election has turned us into a bunch of drunks. Jk 😀
I wouldn’t watch this debate for love, nor next week’s lottery numbers…. I really feel Hillary has nothing to gain, and I’m afraid the Orange-utan is going to be so vile he will make all the uncommitted voters not vote at all….
I was sat in the chemists earlier waiting for a prescription to be filled and they have SKY News on all the time and holy shit if Kay Burley thinks the Orange Terror is bad news then he really has lost the rightwing in the UK. I can’t watch the debate because I have no TV service and busted audio on my PC so I am just going to follow this thread as I can see myself going through one of my can’t sleep nights.

“Over/under on Trump having the sniffles?”
We know that’s definitely happening, so we need to set a number per 30 minutes, or hour.
I say a distinct sniffle 5 times per hour. I think the good bet would be the Over here, but we’ll see.
Kudos to all of you who can stomach watching the debates and hearing Trump insult Secretary Clinton for 90 minutes. Tonight’s debate should be a hoot with a Fox News host who has already promised not to fact check the candidates. Sounds like fun.
Hopefully the polls hold steady and Clinton wins in a landslide on November 8th. Perhaps then alt-righters and White Supremacists will get the message that their influence is limited in this country.
@Patricia Kayden
At this point, I don’t want a Clinton win, I want a Clinton firebombing. I want her to have an electoral vote lead comparative to Reagan over Mondale in ’84. This is the best way, I figure, to maybe get through to certain elements that the non-delusional parts of the country are tired of their shit.
My husband and I were talking back in ’12 that if Romney lost, either the right wing would get a clue and walk back, or as we suspected double down on the extremism even more than they did after McCain. Unfortunately we were right on the latter and now we have…this.
The only good thing is that the worst shit is no longer hidden behind coy allusions and dog-whistles and is now open in all its gangrenous, pustulent glory for the public to see. Horrible to look at, but maybe now we can lance, air out, and treat that motherfucker.
I just hope it won’t come at the cost of any more human lives. :/
Due to the poll tie, I’ll instead be having a Nutella and raspberry preserve sammie.
It’s about six months too late, but still: the official troll Trump campaign begins!
@Troubelle
I think we all knew, in our hearts, that was the correct choice 🙂
@Axecalibur
It’s a lot quicker, and actually gets something resembling fruit into my system.
The bread’s bargain brand, but it does its job just fine.
It’s too bad we can’t have toasters in our dorms due to the exposed heating elements. (Then again, a friend of mine who lives in another time zone had his catch on fire only a few weeks ago…) And since I don’t have a baking sheet, I can’t make it in the oven. Which means no toasted sammies for Troubelle.
An addendum: Axecalibur, at least, may recall me talking about my grandma. She’s the one who taught me how to make toast in the oven. Once I get a sheet, this will become more useful.
If you’d like to Troll Trump in a more individualized way, the Trump campaign has asked for suggestions for his cabinet. While I’m sure there’s been plenty of mean stuff submitted I was seeing a lot of funny ones on Twitter today.

I’ll be missing the debate tonight due to working closing shift. I’ll be back to read the hilarity after I get home and shower though.
@Troubelle – you should be able to toast your bread right on the oven rack 🙂
I think I’m going to sit this debate out, though I’ll be checking here for updates. I’ll catch the lowlights tomorrow on the news.
I, too, am worried this might just be another chance for the Drumpf to pull some weird shenanigans.
Oh, and Pulled Pork will be the meal going w/this debate. Pretty appropriate, a delicious sloppy mess.
Pork here, too, @JoeB! Crockpot pork roast with stuffing and gravy mmmm.
I’m having frozen pizza and pinot grigio.
I’m just going to wrap myself nicely in tin foil, climb into the microwave and blow myself to next week (to paraphrase a bit of Scottish wisdom on Twitter).
@dreemr
Perhaps, but this is a community kitchen I speak of. Who knows what lurks upon those metal grids?….

Very off from topic here, but has anyone seen davis aurinis most recent blog post. It made me laugh a lot!
Interesting photo. Looks like Hillary’s grabbing him by the crotch, if you squint at it the wrong way.
