Mike Pence is performing the coherent version of Donald Trump and what's fascinating is that it doesn't work nearly as well.

The question Page should ask Pence is simple: If you're serious about containing the coronavirus, what the hell are you doing here tonight?
Binyamin Appelbaum Thu 08 Oct 2020 01:18

So stupid that these candidates are debating in person tonight. Both of them should be embarrassed. How many thousands of Americans are dead because we keep failing to take even the most obvious steps to prevent the spread of the coronavirus?

I'm beginning to worry that the period between November 3 and January 20 may not go well.

I could pretend to be surprised the president is turning down an offer from Congressional Democrats to send checks to every voter just before the election, but the evidence of recent days suggests that his much-hyped instinct for self-preservation is... somewhat overstated.

The thing I just can't get over is that not wearing a mask endangers ***OTHER PEOPLE.*** It can be heroic to risk your own life. Would someone please explain to me how it is heroic to risk other people's lives?

Tens of thousands of Americans are dead precisely because Trump has persisted in refusing to be afraid of Covid.

"Don't be afraid of Covid" says the president of a country where the official death toll tops 200,000 people.

If the doctor misspoke, then bring him back outside and let's hear him say it. Because otherwise why on earth would anyone believe the White House account?

What is the possible journalistic justification for allowing Mark Meadows to speak anonymously to contradict a doctor who just spoke on the record?
