In an interview Tuesday with #HowardStern, the #Democratic #presidential #nominee revealed she’s a big #Formula1 #racing #fan. “We love it. Our whole family does,” she told the former shock jock. When asked to name her favorite driver, the sitting Veep was unequivocal. “Lewis Hamilton, of course,” she replied.

The #PoliticalViolence Spilling Out of #RedStates.

@Susan_Larson_TN not actually a problem? More for the rest of us? We can't save other people from themselves.
@Susan_Larson_TN People, by nature, easily forget pain & suffering. I liken it to childbirth. Also, we didn’t collectively grieve Trump & Covid. They created mass distraction, separation, division, kill your elderly parents for the sake of the economy, instead of collectively grieving like we had previously done with 9/11 & Katrina, where the world watched & rallied together against the suffering. We have none of that now.
@Susan_Larson_TN
There is no “60 Minutes edit controversy.”
There is only Donold Trump’s “60 Minutes edit” lies. When will the MSM learn that nothing that comes out of that guys mouth bears any resemblance to reality.
