We here at the Bucket noticed that the image of the fly on Mike Pence bore an uncanny resemblance to a fly on a pile of shit. The similarities are remarkable. We&#8217;re sure some alt-right, QAnon nut job will come up with some conspiracy theory that good ol&#8217; Super Fly was some kind a miniature drone built by the Democrats in order to make Mike Pence look bad. Sorry, conservative wing nuts; old Puritan Pence is quite capable of looking bad all by himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"462\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mikepenceflypileshitseparatedatbirth.jpg\" alt=\"The image of a fly sitting on Vice President and modern day Puritan Mike Pence's head during the VP debate bears an uncanny resemblance to a fly sitting on a pile of shit.\" class=\"wp-image-7809\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mikepenceflypileshitseparatedatbirth.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mikepenceflypileshitseparatedatbirth-300x277.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>The image of a fly sitting on Vice President and modern day Puritan Mike Pence&#8217;s head during the VP debate bears an uncanny resemblance to a fly sitting on a pile of shit.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vice Presidential debate took place Wednesday night in Salt Lake City, Utah and at least it was civil despite Vice President and modern day Puritan Mike Pence trying to do his best Donald Trump impersonation by lying his ass off and interrupting Democratic candidate Kamala Harris repeatedly.
