I woke up early and I can't go back to sleep because I just saw this news:

[Botany]

CNN is going to be hosting a Mike Pence Town Hall. Mr. Excitement himself for one solid hour.

Link to tweet

Can somebody post a countdown clock from now until 6/7/23 @ 9 PM?

Does any Ohio DUers want to meet up and have a party and watch Pence?

[FSogol]

1. Mike? Why are flies attracted to you? Why didn't you notice?

Which character in "The Omen" most closely resembles you?

[LW1977]

10. Norman Bates from Psycho comes more to mind with me.

[FakeNoose]

30. Hah! That suggests a recasting for the character of "Mother"

[Sky Jewels]

36. Karen Carpenter voice: Why do flies suddenly appear

Every time you are near?
Unlike me, they long to be, close to you…

[True Dough]

2. I hope CNN had the foresight

to line up "the fly" for this occasion.

&t=6s

[NJCher]

25. I'd tune in for the fly alone

But not Pence.

Unless, of course, I was trying to fall asleep.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. I might tune in, if ...

... if it's airing at my bed-time. Listening to Pence is better than counting sheep.

[EYESORE 9001]

4. I wouldn't watch if I got paid

I hope CNN gets even more abysmal ratings from this.

[hlthe2b]

5. Can you imagine the "real-time" posting reactions from TFG?

Unless someone hits him with an elephant tranquilizer, he's going to be merciless and beyond deranged.

[brooklynite]

6. Don't get ahead of yourself; there's a Nikki Haley Town Hall first.

[GB_RN]

13. Haley's "Town Hall"...

Is the only thing that is guaranteed to get lower ratings than Mike Pencil-head’s (R-Lord of the Flies). At least until Asa Hutchifelon, Tim Scott (Q-Delusional), and Governor DeathSentence (Q-The Florida Fascist) have theirs…🙄

[Takket]

7. It's funny to watch CNN try to regain some credibility after their drumpf campaign rally

“Oh look! We’re not biased! Now we have Nikki and pence getting a town hall too! Please come back viewers!!” Lol

Fuck CNN

[Beachnutt]

8. He will have a rethug stacked audience

and will not be pinned down on his answers from softball questions or his lies.
It'll be another scam townhall basically.

[samnsara]

9. i may watch that one.. hes not crazy but hes squirrely

..and may be entertaining

[MayReasonRule]

16. Fascists Are "Crazy" By Definition - Mike Pence Is A Y'all Qaeda Nat-C GOP Fascist

Mike Pence is crazy.

Mike Pence is a delusional Nat-C Fascist.

[Javaman]

11. I love a good segment on botony.

what better than have a sentient houseplant featured?

[dalton99a]

12. Yep.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. ...

[FakeNoose]

32. A classic! I'd rather watch an hour of Stephen Colbert than an hour of CNN

... any day of the week.

[BumRushDaShow]

33. You got that right!!!

[The Jungle 1]

15. Oh mother,

please prepare my milk toast.

He even looks like Caspar Milquetoast

[AllyCat]

17. Someone had Contains No News on in the break room

Apparently, they are having one for N Haley too?

Are they doing this because everyone had a fit about Cheeto Man being on? Try to look like everyone is getting airtime? Will every candidate get a curated audience?

[bottomofthehill]

18. Have I missed something?

Did Mike Pence officially announce his run for president?

[Joinfortmill]

19. F*ck CNN

[UpInArms]

20. Will the audience be packed with

Pence supporters?

[ChazInAz]

21. Both of them.

[kairos12]

22. The Fly will be in attendance.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. LOL! Good one

[Historic NY]

24. Hope the fly shows up

[FSogol]

38. I hope the sound crew at the CNN studio is already hiding bits of raw meat around the space.

Turn the thermostat up and leave the loading dock door cracked open.

[thatcrowwoman]

26. Beurk! No thank you. I'll wait for the high/lowlights here on DU and in the cartoons.😉 nt

[BSdetect]

27. What6 do you get when you cross a puppet with a muppet? A pence

[PXR-5]

28. I haven't had my coffee yet

I read "Excitement" as "Excrement". At least his pet fly will be happy.

[lastlib]

29. Not gonna watch it--Gonna paint that day....

and I want to watch it dry. I live for thrills, yanno.....

[Trueblue Texan]

31. Well, watch that town hall...should get you back to sleep in a jiffy! nt

[themaguffin]

34. Will the fly be invited too?

[H2O Man]

35. Recommended.

Surely the most charismatic, dynamic politian of our era, as exciting as Yoko's painting of a glass of milk in a snow drift.

[Demsrule86]

37. CNN will also do one for Haley...Fox light.
