On a separate topic, recently started watching Oliver Stone's The Untold History of the United States.
So, so good - for anyone who is a fan of history, definitely recommended.
Totally changed my perspective on quite a few characters and events. The episodes on WWII, the A-Bomb and the Cold War, especially.
Pretty convinced that if Henry Wallace had not been cheated out of the vice-presidency at the DNC in favor of Harry Truman, so much of the world (order) as we know it would be different.

A simple example - Harris claimed Trump will ban abortion if he wins the presidency. This is clearly false and Trump is on record saying he will leave it to the states. Surely easy enough to fact check that? Honestly, my dislike of both candidates doesn't get in the way of seeing a different set of gloves were used for Trump vs Harris. Still, Republican voting numbers are notoriously under-represented in MSM polls, so will be interesting to see how the swing states play out. You sure about that record mate? Past history would comfortably say Trump's records/promises aren't worth the air they're uttered in. Have a look - www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trumps-many-abortion-positions-timeline-rcna146601. Totally fair that she'd make that claim. I think the sheer volume of lies he tried to get away with mandated moderators stepping in. There was no other way.

He’s the dangerous combination of being completely insane, a compulsive liar but also very, very stupid.
I honestly don’t care about Harris’ credentials, it simply has to be anyone but him.

omg that was mind numbing. Both said a whole lot of nothing.... just spewing bullshit. They both blatantly lied about things, I can remember if either actually answered a question given to them with any real educated answer. It is pathetic that these are the 2 people representing my country.

It isn't simply anyone but him... because she is just a bigger idiot than he is. She has no clue what she is doing, the Dems literally put out a person no one voted for because Biden could kill over at any second and they have no one else that is ready for the national stage other than Newsom and I don't think he wants to step up just yet. Trump is a narcissistic liar and just a narcissist overall. He looks like a fool 90% of the time

Sorry but this ‘both did this, both are awful’ etc is simply obviously a coping mechanism for a person to justify voting for a criminal insurrectionist. There is only one takeaway a normal person takes away from that last night- Trump is a pathetic, lying, deranged old bully who has no business being anywhere near the White House.

Weird assumption, because I've never voted for him... I think you need to relax making these assumptions about me whom you've never met.

Let's see if Harris does any more unscripted appearances before the election, other than the debate she has been utterly avoiding the media.
People have legitimate concerns, moments in interviews border on satire.
