I'm Speaking: Everyone Knows a Mike Pence - Meidas Touch

[Rhiannon12866]

After Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris was rudely interrupted by Mike Pence throughout the VP Debate, her response has since turned into a rallying cry: "I'm speaking." Everyone knows a Mike Pence.

1. Mr. Femmedem just said he doubts he's ever let a woman finish.

2. She handled that very well.

A public spanking for interrupting was needed.

4. Yeah, a SWAT team action

3. Kamala did a great job considering she was dealing with an interrupting lying MAN TOT!

5. I have to say...

I feel this comes from his religious view that a woman is subservient to a man and therefore he felt she was supposed to just stop talking and let a man speak. Of course, stopping that idiot from not following the rules was the job of the moderator, who of course had no way to actually stop him, as there are no penalties from misbehaving that I can see. But, all in all, I loved that she said what she said. I would have loved it better if the people hosting the debates were being impartial to the candidates but we all know how that works, don't we?

8. The weird thing is, he seems to be under the command of his wife, AKA 'Mother'.

So maybe he was compensating for that lack of standing in his own home by attempting to dominate at the debate. (I've kind of got the feeling that he doesn't interact, socially/conversationally, with many females, on a one-to-one basis.)

10. It's actually a fact that he doesn't.

He doesn’t interact with women on a one to one basis. He is never alone in the same room with a woman except for Mother.

7. If I did at trial what Mike Pence did during the "Debate,"

the Judge would hammer with an array of contempt orders.

I don't know if Roberts Rules of Order apply to debates, but they should.

9. This seems to be a Republican tactic.

Talk louder than your opponent and interfere while that person is speaking. I see it all the time.
