  • Not 20 years later, but at all. At least that I’d their claim and I haven’t seen it debunked do far.

    I’ll reluctantly link a right wing article that at least tries to come across not overly sensational:

    The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris’s October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs—including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage—in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent.

    Harris lists three jobs on the application and five in total on an attached résumé, according to the documents, obtained through a public records request. Harris, who submitted the application as a second-year student at then-University of California, Hastings College of the Law, included granular life experience on her résumé—“extensive travel in India, Africa, [and] Europe” and “lived in Montreal, Canada for six years”—but not McDonald’s.

    They’ve got photos of the resume and all.

    Bulldozed over them. Alive and dead. Couldn’t take the gore no longer.

    I have empathy for him, honesty. He belived the propaganda about defending the country an all that. Then was ordered to to horrible things. He experienced the difference between a lie told and a lie lived and just couldn’t deal with it.

    He not the bad guy here.












  • Do you believe that climate change is largely driven by human activity, including the burning of fossil fuels? If not, is there a different cause you would cite?

    Didn’t say yes.

    Here I agree, the question isn’t answered.

    But:

    Do you believe climate change is making disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires and heat waves more intense?

    Almost said yes.

    "The science is clear. Extreme weather will only get worse, and the climate crisis will only accelerate.’’

    How is that not a yes?

    Should climate change be addressed through government action or market forces?

    Practically a yes. I award a half credit

    “Under Harris’s climate plan as a 2019 presidential candidate, she advocated for a blend of government action and market forces to combat global warming.”

    It’s not a yes because this is not a yes or no question. It gives a very clear answer though. How is this half credit?

    Do you support clean-energy tax credits such as those for electric vehicles?

    Again half credit. Not an actual yes.

    “In 2022, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies for electric cars and other clean-energy technology, including tax credits for clean-energy and energy-efficiency home projects.”

    That answers the question, again.

    So, in 3 out of 4 questions the answers are very clear. And giving a “long” answer to a complex question is, in my opinion, appropriate.
