19th & 22nd

 I can't believe no one told Pence there was a fly on his head. According to the article below, his family got a kick out it. As usual, Trump is accusing Biden of something...this time it's relates to his mask. Vice President Pence ‘didn’t know’ fly was on head during debate https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/vice-president-pence-didn-t-know-fly-was-on-head-during-debate/ar-BB19XiDr?ocid=msedgntp SOURCE:  David Matthews, New York Daily News  (via MSN) Trump Accuses Joe Biden Of 'Playing Fingers' With His Mask In Bizarre Tweet https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/trump-biden-playing-fingers-214453717.html SOURCE:  David Moye, HuffPost  (via Yahoo News)

 Looks like Trump has changed his mind about a debate with Biden.  Speaking of Biden, he is now leading Trump in two key states.

 It looks like there won't be another presidential debate. That may be just as well based on last week's debate performance. In my opinion, Trump does not look healthy. Instead of worrying about a debate, he should be focusing on his health and his family. He should also be focusing on not exposing his staff and others to the virus.  Somehow, I don't think this will be the end of this discussion. Stay tuned.

It looks like the VP debate is going on as scheduled. I hope these new safety measures will prevent Kamala Harris and Mile Pence from contracting COVID.  I'm more concerned about Kamala, because Pence has been exposed to Trump and he may be carrying the virus even though he tested negative. Well, we will see what happens Wednesday. Trump took off his mask as soon as he returned to the White House -- just like a kid would do. I feel sorry for the people that work for him, because he seems to have no regard for their safety and well being.
