Joe Lieberman, Doug Jones face off over No Labels' chances with a 'unity' ticket in 2024

Former Sens. Joe Lieberman and Doug Jones on Sunday faced-off in a debate over the viability of No Labels' potential bipartisan third-party presidential ticket in 2024

Former Sens. Joe Lieberman and Doug Jones on Sunday faced-off in a debate over the viability of a bipartisan third-party presidential ticket in 2024 and whether that effort could serve as a spoiler in the race for the White House.

Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent who represented Connecticut, is a founding chair of No Labels, which is preparing a possible "unity" ticket that would include both parties -- offering another option for those voters dissatisfied with a potential rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

"We're in this to give the majority of the American people who feel that the major two parties are failing them a third choice, both in policies, such as we're going to release in New Hampshire tomorrow, but also possibly in a third candidate," Lieberman told ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos. "And we've been very explicit ... if the polling next year shows after two parties have chosen or nominees, that in fact we will help elect one or another candidate, we're not going to get involved."

Jones, an Alabama Democrat, rejected that thinking.

"Those polls right now mean nothing," he shot back at Lieberman, referencing reticence for both Biden and Trump. "This past weekend, you saw that the Biden-Harris team raised $70 million, 30% of those were new donors. That is not a candidate that is being rejected by the American people."

Of No Labels, he said, "There is no way on God's green earth that they can get to 270 electoral votes, which means they will be a spoiler, one way or another."

Oblivion Mod Lets You Hang With Your Character From Morrowind

At some point we've all wondered: "Would I like myself if I met myself?" Unfortunately, only twins and clones will truly know the answer to this question. Similarly, many of us have also wondered if we'd like the version of ourselves from a few years ago – for that, we'd need a time machine. However, there is another way to answer these questions. A mystical technique, mastered only by a few – mods. Mods allow you to fulfill your wildest dreams. All you have to do is wish for something, and there's probably already a mod for it. In this particular case a mod for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion that lets you import your character from Morrowind. This means, you can hang out with your old character from TES 3, or if you didn't really like yourself then, fight them. As spotted by PC Game r, Cross- Game Invader Add-On is a rather unique mod that connects both the Game s. RELATED: My First Time With Oblivion: How I Missed An Ent...

Dozens of dangerous rail crossings will be eliminated with $570 million in grants

The Biden administration is handing out more than $570 million in grants to help eliminate railroad crossings in 32 states just as the industry is increasingly relying on longer and longer trains to cut costs OMAHA, Neb. -- With the rail industry relying on longer and longer trains to cut costs, the Biden administration is handing out $570 million in grants to help eliminate many railroad crossings in 32 states. The grants announced Monday will contribute to building bridges or underpasses at the sites of more than three dozen crossings that delay traffic and sometimes keep first responders from where help is desperately needed. In some places, trains routinely stretching more than 2 miles (3.2 km) long can block crossings for hours, cutting off access to parts of towns and forcing pedestrians to attempt the dangerous act of climbing through trains that could start moving without warning. “We see countless stories of people unable to get to work on time, goods being blocked from gettin...
