    What reality is this? There’s enough evidence at this point that he’s fucking lost his mind. It’s beyond dangerous now, he has got to go. Fucking VOTE, make sure that you’re registered and check your registration!!

    Remember the fly that landed on Mike Pence’s head when he debated Kamala Harris? It was the only memorable thing about that debate.

  3. The fly is actually Trump’s better angel that abandoned him 75 years ago as a lost cause. But has since come back from a life spent in Mexico.

    Biden forgets a word in ‘doing a 9/11 memorial’ and Conservatives lose their fucking minds. Trump goes on a weird side tangent about a fly that makes it look like he’s having a stroke & Conservatives are silent.

  5. search for his speech where the lights go off and when they’re turned back on he gets the crowd to start shouting “turn them off! turn the off!”

  6. > “Oh there’s a fly,” the former president said. “I wonder where the fly came from?” 

    > One audience member shouted out “Kamala.” 

    > Trump continued: “See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. You’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer.” It wasn’t clear who the president was referring to before changing the subject.

    Pence’s Fly has returned! He has come back to us at the turn of the tides, to signal the deathknell of Trump’s campaign!

    (More seriously: goddamn he looks like absolute shit here. He genuinely doesn’t look physically well. )

  8. I like that their first reaction to “where did the fly come from?” is Kamala. Like, she’s somehow powerful enough to control insects now. Good for her.

  9. First the fly on Pence, now the fly near Trump. What say ye Christians? Flies in the Bible signify God’s displeasure and divine punishment.

    I’m watching the speech now. About a quarter in, he realizes he’s boring the people in the front row. It’s unreal how bad he is.

    God sent down a little bird to Senator Sanders, to show us whom He wanted us to vote for. Glorious Leader, meanwhile, was chosen by The Lord of the Flies.

  12. Not enough comments mentioning the actual quote:

    “Oh, there’s a fly. Oh, I wonder where the fly came from. See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. You’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer.”

    Like what in the ever loving fuck could he possibly meant by this. Like every sentence

    “Oh, there’s a fly.” Relatively normal statement but… Why bring it up during a campaign speech?

    “Oh, I wonder where the fly came from.” … It is a fly… Either it came from outdoors through a door or some shit or an ancestor of it did and it was born in the building. Most buildings particularly large ones have some flies in them.

    “See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here.” What does he think has changed in the last 2 years specifically? Like even if he is trying to say “Biden and Harris ruined America and there are flies now!” like he wasn’t president 2 years ago so… Like beyond the obvious there have been flies for all of human history… What does he feel changed 2 years ago?

    “You’re changing rapidly.” Who the absolute fuck is he talking to here? The fly? The American people? If the American people what is the change? They change from a people who would not allow flies in buildings to one that does? The fuck?

    “We can’t take it any longer.” Who is we? If the previous sentence the American people were the you… Who is we? Just him? He can’t take Americans’ allowance of flies in buildings? Or is we the American people, meaning that you was indeed the fly he was addressing the whole time?

  13. “See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. You’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer.”

    This is not normal. At all
