Not sure if this has been posted yet. Surprise, surprise, yet another anti-drag Republican used to dress in drag. Guess which one?

It makes sense.  Its hard to believe that people don't see that the only people worried about what consenting adult's private parts are doing with other adults are struggling with their own private parts.  Its always projection.   Otherwise you would just mind your own damn business. 

Dressing up in drag for a costume or event (or even for no particular reason) doesn't necessarily indicate questions regarding gender identity.

I don't know, these types of stories are frustrating, because I so completely don't care that Vance wore a dress once. Vance hasn't been "exposed" like the thumbnail indicates. This is nothing, and making it into a big thing feels like it mostly just hurts trans and gender non-conforming people. I get that the primary criticism is around hypocrisy, but I feel like that conversation needs a careful step that "what would his drag name be" just doesn't satisfy. 

And with respect to China, they owns less than 3% of our DHBP (Debt Held By Public) and just 2.3% overall.  They aren't even the largest foreign owner of our debt.  Even Belgium owns a little less than half what China owns.  Hardly the end of days doomporn scenario they rant about.

this skepticism isn't helping anybody.  If you care that little, and presumably think that caring only a little is a good thing, then there may be a gaming thread or something that's more of your style.  

Hell of a day for polling today for Harris.

First was the Bullfinch poll, which showed Harris up 4 in PA, up 6 in MI and up 9 in WI (Registered Voters in a 5 way race). Bullfinch isn't rated by Nate Silver or 538 so who knows how good this pollster is, but those are big numbers. Especially following up that NYT/Sienna poll which had Harris up 4 in all three states, she's having a good couple days in the Rust Belt.

Then there were a bunch of General polls dropped:
Morning Consult (Aug 9-11): Harris +3
Morning Consult (Aug 6-8): Harris +4
Morning Consult (Aug 3-5): Harris +3
Redfield & Wilton: Harris +3
Big Village: Harris +3

Some of those polls are better than others, but that is a solid, consistent and reproducible lead across several national polls, pulling her national lead on 538 to +2.8pts (up from +2.3 yesterday).

There were also a handful of Favorability polls which showed Harris/Walz performing favorably when compared to Trump/Vance. The Big Village Favorability poll has the fewest "No Opinions" I've seen yet for Tim Walz and still gave him +7 Favorability among Likely Voters so it seems like the Right's new favorite attacks aren't really having much of an impact (but it is still early so a lot can change). Kind of unfortunate for them that they finally seem to kind of be finding some footing right when the DNC is about to start and dominate headlines for a bit.

Polls | FiveThirtyEight (I always sort by "Added" to see what just dropped)

Very curious to see where her numbers will peak. Presumably right after the convention (unless Trump does actually get sentenced to prison next month). Sure would be nice to see some double digit leads, but that's probably wishful thinking right now.

So that interview was interesting. The lisp won't hurt Trump in the election but knowing it will bother him is a great consolation prize.

Yeah, I was looking at the aggregate, it has swung several points in Kamala Harris's favour:

Foolish MAGA concern trolls: "B-B-B-But... Kamala Harris isn't who the Democratic voters want! It's NOT WHO THEY VOTED FOR!!! "

Genuine question for Trump supporters.
