Seriously? lol. Way to lose the debate before it’s begun.

I really hope Walz hammers Vance on women’s rights and LGBTQ issues. Just make that the focus of the whole thing, because those are the issues that will win in the margins of historically nonvoters. I really hope this campaign can finally understand why many voters are disenfranchised, and start finally enfranchising them.

Vast swathes of voters are unaffiliated because nobody cares about them. I know the dem candidates are capable of caring, but they need to show it.

Yeah, I live in The Land of the Free™ (to be a complete arsehole).

Thanks so much! I wasn’t able to find a good online feed, and it’s even worse since I’m old and watch these things on my Xbox, so entering URLs is worse than trying to input software codes.

Your link worked, thank you!

e: I’m seeing the pre-game coverage there, so 🤞

e2: I may have been premature. That link shows me a couple of minutes of video before I have to refresh and watch 60 seconds of ads to see another 2 minutes of asynchronous (not live) video.

I’ll post a link if I can find an actual live feed, but unfortunately it seems MSNBC really doesn’t want me to watch it.

Does anyone know how to watch MSNBC’s coverage of this (i prefer their commentators) without having any subscriptions?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ooooh. Welcome blast from the past. That sound…

This isn’t surprising at all, if you look at their rhetoric.

They need the world to self-destruct so Jesus will come back and give them their paradise. Nearly all Christian sects are doomsday cults, because Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher.

Nuclear war? Good, that brings Jesus back. Climate apocalypse? Awesome, because Jesus will come back, as prophesied. Israel implodes? Best case scenario, because this is exactly how Jesus comes back.

They want all of us to burn for the sake of their doomsday fantasies.

Say what you will, this is an efficient and elegant way to store your adapters. I’m envious.

Remember when trump threatened to withhold aid to Californians impacted by a disaster because their governor didn’t kiss the ring with enough gusto?

As we have to deal with progressively worse disasters due to climate change, some morons want to vote for the guy that will refuse to help their own communities if his arse isn’t kissed enough.

If you live in an area that will be hit with such disasters and are still considering voting for this lunatic, you deserve what’s coming to you. But consider that your sane neighbours won’t deserve the consequences of your actions, and will be entirely justified to refuse to help you when your orange god hangs you out to dry.

 

Four members of a Florida family were convicted Wednesday of selling a toxic industrial bleach as a fake Covid-19 cure through their online church.

A federal jury in Miami found Mark Grenon, 65, and his sons, 37-year-old Jonathan, 35-year-old Joseph and 29-year-old Jordan, guilty of conspiring to defraud the United States and deliver misbranded drugs, according to court records. That charge carries up to five years in prison. Their sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 6.

Prosecutors called the Grenons “con men” and “snake-oil salesmen” and said the Bradenton family’s Genesis II Church of Health and Healing sold $1 million worth of their so-called Miracle Mineral Solution. In videos, it was pitched as a cure for 95% of known diseases, including Covid-19, Alzheimer’s, autism, brain cancer, HIV/AIDS and multiple sclerosis, prosecutors said.
