"My view is I want to defend natural gas. I want to defend repairing and building the pipelines we need to fuel our economy. I want to defend fracking under the right circumstances. I want to defend this stuff." --Hillary Clinton

It would indeed be nice if we stopped all fossil fuel production immediately. However, that's simply not feasible.

Clinton-Sanders fracking fracas heats up

Believing that it's "not feasible" to end fossil fuel production is one thing. Fossil fuel production has increased under the Obama administration, and will continue to increase under a Clinton administration. Hillary Clinton would be more public in her support for fracking if environmentalists would just "get a life".
 
The Atlantic endorses Hillary Clinton for president:
Today, our position is similar to the one in which The Atlantic’s editors found themselves in 1964. We are impressed by many of the qualities of the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, even as we are exasperated by others, but we are mainly concerned with the Republican Party’s nominee, Donald J. Trump, who might be the most ostentatiously unqualified major-party candidate in the 227-year history of the American presidency.

These concerns compel us, for the third time since the magazine’s founding, to endorse a candidate for president.

Is Donald Trump bad for your mental health? - France 24
"It has been on the minds of many of my clients, especially those from racial minority backgrounds," said Meredith Shirey, a marriage and family therapist based in New York.
"I will say that overall there has been a significant increase in symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder among many of my patients due to Donald Trump and this election," she told FRANCE 24.

Pratt and Shirey are not the only mental health professionals to raise concerns. An online "manifesto" denouncing Trump's comments and policies as "antithetical to everything we stand for as therapists" has garnered hundreds of signatures from psychologists across the country.

The manifesto was set up by William J Doherty, a professor in the Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota and a practising therapist for nearly 40 years, who says he was inspired to take action after seeing neo-fascist youths on the streets of an Austrian town while on vacation and feared something similar happening in his own country.
 
You know, I'm actually glad that Jerry's cable is out (he's not renewing it either)... I won't feel tempted to sit through the torture of another debate. LOL :p

Oh, I thought I share this little tidbit that my father mentioned... he's completely fluent in Spanish (many dialects), taught it for 35 years.... You know Trump's favorite gesture? This one...

To Latinos, that means "queer".... :im: :rofl:Perfect.

I'm tempted to wait and hear the highlights afterward.

Donald Trump is bringing President Barack Obama's Kenyan-born half-brother, Malik, to Wednesday's third and final presidential debate, a campaign aide confirmed to CNN.

Hillary Clinton will be joined at Wednesday's debate by two well-known billionaires who are backing her campaign, in what may be an attempt to rattle Republican nominee by subtly questioning his own net worth...

We've eaten noodle and tofu soup, and now we are well into the chocolate almond cake, topped with chocolate amaretto mousse, tart cherries, and peaches.

Donald Trump is a disgusting and dangerous individual.

I was at work during this debate. According to early Facebook comments, it looks like Donald Trump is opposed to c-sections.
 
^ I was rolling my eyes so much.:D

I didn't watch to the end of the debate as I was too tired, but I'm sure I will hear about it.

Oh, I just read that he called her a "nasty woman" at the end. "Bad hombres", oh dear.:p
 
I laughed out loud when he said he should have won the Emmy. He really does hate to lose. That was years ago and he's still obviously upset about it, I can't imagine how he's going to handle losing the election to a woman. :rolleyes:

Op-Ed: We already know who won the election, and it's not Trump or Clinton

It seems I'm not the only person who saw this...

"For the last six months, the only message Clinton has promoted successfully and repeatedly is that Trump is a bad person and she's not him. Sounds simplistic, but so far it's been enough to get the Nate Silver types of the world to proclaim her an 80 percent favorite to win the whole thing."
