"Hello and welcome to the Vice Presidential debates. I'm your moderator, Norah O'Donnell, and I will be sitting here and listening blankly to JD Vance as he tells an entire flotilla of the most grotesquely racist lies you've ever heard in response to my question about FEMA."
Here’s what I firmly believe about climate catastrophes: the answer is never to place blame or to shrug and say certain people need to “just move.” There is no place that isn’t going to need help in some kind of a catastrophe.

A sale of the Infowars website and other property is set for November, and could determine the conspiracy theorist’s fate as a broadcaster.
And the dummies cheer him. Pious men cheer his blaspheming. Working men cheer his talk of strike breaking and refusing to pay OT. Women cheer his vows to protect them from deciding their own fate. I'll never understand.
Better to watch this in its entirety than to see it in heavily edited propaganda-sized chunks. Harris sends a clear message about US support for Ukraine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tifq...
