A good Salon article on tRump's psychotic debate performance last night.

What "civil" debate? The one I watched revealed Donald Trump as a cold-blooded psychopath
A calmer tone only exposed Trump's lack of basic empathy about the pandemic, family separation or anything else.

The word on the media reviews for Thursday night's second — and blessedly last — debate of the presidential campaign is that it was civil.

"It was civil, calm, sedate, substantive (at times) and, almost, even normal," Shane Goldmacher at the New York Times writes. "It came down to muting the president," Robin Givhan of the Washington Post writes. "That's what it took to stage a reasonably civil debate between President Trump and former vice president Joe Biden."

Deirdre Walsh at NPR declared the Nashville debate " a much different — and far more civil — night than the last encounter."

I don't know what debate these analysts were watching. Because the one I saw was between a normal politician, Joe Biden, and a man whose utter lack of empathy for any other human being is only matched by his baseless self-regard. The mute button only allowed Trump to speak at greater length, showcasing for all of America to see a textbook illustration of what sociopathy looks like. Afterward, I wondered if Christian Bale had been watching, and if so, if he was worried that his star turn in "American Psycho" was too understated.

And I asked the internet- "What is a fly's favorite food?" The answer is:

Common house flies are attracted to decaying organic filth such as feces and rotting meat.

Yep - 36 million viewers can verify.
