I tried to watch a bit of the VP debate, but it was so incredibly dull -- kind of a portent to what will happen if Biden wins and Lord Dampnut is out of the picture. You might have whole days and even weeks where absolutely nothing happens and there will be a tremendous loss of entertainment value to the office. You bet Biden will be just the most boring president in the history of the US.
On the other hand, right now the US has this to offer to the world:

Yes, you too can be airlifted to one of the nation's premier hospitals and receive an experimental treatment that needs a compassionate use approval. Just priceless!

Some "very fine people" tried to "liberate" Michigan (fairly long article):

Federal agents said Thursday they thwarted a plot to violently overthrow the government as well as kidnap and harm Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer — a conspiracy that included visits to her home in northern Michigan and training with firearms and explosive devices.
The alleged plot mainly involved six conspirators unhappy in part about Whitmer's coronavirus restrictions, calling her a "tyrant." They wanted to create a "self-sufficient" society free from what they called unconstitutional state governments and discussed plans to storm the Capitol and take hostages, according to FBI documents filed in court.
Organizers allegedly met starting in June, including at a Second Amendment rally in Lansing and in a Grand Rapids shop basement accessed through a secret door hidden under a rug.
The plot also included at least seven members of a Michigan militia known as the Wolverine Watchmen accused by state officials on Thursday of targeting police, making threats to "instigate civil war" and helping to plan Whitmer's kidnapping, according to state and federal officials.
The federal court filing alleges the conspirators twice conducted surveillance at Whitmer's personal vacation home in northern Michigan and discussed kidnapping her to a "secure location" in Wisconsin to stand "trial" for treason prior to the Nov. 3 election.
"Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. "The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message."

Clearly the real problem with extremism in the US is the people who punch Nazis and throw milkshakes, though.

Secretary Pompeo tells Fox he's working to get more of @HillaryClinton's emails out before the election.
PERINO: Will that happen before the election?
POMPEO: Doing it as fast as we can. I certainly, I certainly think there'll be more to see before the election

Shit. What do you think this'll do to Hillary's chances in the election?

Better than Trump's?

I imagine it'll have lots of references to "pizza", and other unimaginable things.
Man, she could actually lose over this!

You know how the right always accuses the left of having "activist judges" forcing liberal values on citizens...

The Federalist Society, according to former Trump White House Counsel Don McGahn, plays an outsize role in choosing the judges Trump nominates. McGahn told the pressure group as much in 2017, boasting that rather than outsourcing judicial selection to the group, Trump had brought them inside the White House.
"Our opponents of judicial nominees frequently claim the president has outsourced his selection of judges. That is completely false," McGahn said. "I've been a member of the Federalist Society since law school — still am. So, frankly, it seems like it's been insourced."
"INsourced." Sounds a bit Deep State to me. It also sounds a lot like incest but that's just a trick of the shadows.
