Not the bat I was hoping for, but I guess it’ll do.

A really big flying bat dropping baseball bats from a great height would also have been nice.

Not a bat, Satan’s messenger. He told me… At lunch, today.
PS. I’m high AF, right now.

Marsha Blackburn was not scheduled to be there. Must be a surprise visit.

As a point of interest, if a bat gets into your home, the Department of Public Health in my state (Massachusetts) recommends that everyone in the home get rabies shots, even those who don’t come into direct contact with the animal. The rationale is that bats spread their saliva as they fly, and the saliva can contain the virus.
Rabies shots are no longer intra-peritoneal, just your standard IM, but it’s a long course of treatment and the vaccine is generally stocked only at your local ER. It’s expensive and a massive hassle. Don’t ask me how I know.
The thought of Donald Ⱦrump having to be treated for rabies is really wonderful, but I doubt it would do much good, since to judge by his behavior, he’s already infected.

I’m on team Powers of Darkness myself, and I tell you, we don’t want anything to do with this guy.

Might it not follow that anyone who attended a Trump rally – at least those within spittle-projection distance – should get rabies shots? Heck, that might finally get the attendance down a bit.
My mind is also plowing ahead uncontrollably with thoughts of Toxoplasma gondii, its effect of making the prey less cautious around cats, and the inevitable parallels to Trump and his own (allegedly) infectious spittle. With the populace as the mice.

With so much batshit in the room, there had to be a bat somewhere.

Someone on Cape Cod died from bat-transmitted rabies in 2012, thus the precautions. Also, other strains of rabies can be vaccinated against, but not the bat kind.
Poor bats, they really are delightful creatures; cute, they eat bugs, and then that unpredictable flight they have is indeed like watching a mouse fledering around.

That poor animal must be traumatized now. Hope it got out at all.
