Pentagon confirmed there’s no protocol and VPs can do it if they want or not. Both Biden and Pence were photographed saluting but also sometimes not 

I’m old enough to remember when people lost their shit the first time Reagan gave a salute.

“For a despicable individual to physically prevent President Trump’s team from accompanying him to this solemn event is a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed [sic] grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. Whoever this individual is spreading these lies are dishonoring the men and women of our armed forces, and they are disrespecting everyone who paid the price for defending our country,” (Campaign manager Chris) LaCivita continued.

The Harris campaign is planning a Labor Day blitz in nearly every battleground. Harris will start Monday in Detroit, before joining President Biden for a joint campaign event in Pittsburgh. Gov. Tim Walz and Gwen Walz will visit Milwaukee. Doug Emhoff will attend an event in Newport News, Virginia.

New statement from the Dotard/SofaFucker campaign: "Ackshually, Fox News polls suck!" 

[Js1 85,574]

Oh yeah they’re losing when they’re unskewing polls 

[Hank Kingsley 21,054]

Yeah, they are freaked out. That Fox poll today was VERY good news for Kamala (and Dems overall). I don't think it's getting enough attention. In April, the Fox pollsters had Trump +6 over Biden in Georgia. Now it's Kamala +2. 

Yes, these results are all within the margin of error, but the momentum is real and still trending up. 

 

[Pato del Muerto 52,600]

Yeah interesting how that release doesn’t mention month-long trends.

I mean, Nate Silver is a hacky pundit but he said these polls look like a, currently, Harris +4-5 environment, which means she just matches Biden and wins easily in the EC. If it even goes up another point nationally, then you start talking about NC flipping (100 EV win) and FL getting dicey

A late Wednesday night press release to bitch about Fox News polls screams “our internals suck, the public polls suck, please don’t give up on us and stop sending us money”

Hey a quick point of personal privilege: I buried my grandfather last year at DFW national cemetery. He was 100 years old. He had been dead for over two years, so it wasn’t like a surprise and he was 75 years away from the war.  But stil, man. You’ve heard it 1000 times but then you are sitting there and  they say

“On behalf of the President of the United States, and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one's honorable and faithful service” 

and then they hand you the flag. It really gets you.  I mean, you realize and fully appreciate the gravity of the place, and what was risked, and why. And for whom.

my point is this: fuck JD Vance.

Bluff called, there was zero upside to letting them speak and it was obvious. Their entire strategy was idiotic as most here realized. They have an important viewpoint that should be heard but they played themselves.

This.  Though admittedly, I felt good enough about it that I offered to buy the first bottle of champagne at Le Bernardin at dinner the night before it was called on Saturday and the party broke out.

I will never forget the moment the NYT needle pivoted to Biden being the favorite in Georgia. The night had been filled with a deep feeling of doom prior to that. Also I think Fox News calling Arizona early is an underrated “saving democracy” moment.

2020 was definitely induced some butthole puckering until you started to see the swing states and Georgia come in....it took way longer than normal as well for that to happen which IMO added to how puckered the butthole was.

 

I'm not saying this one is over or won't be close but leading into November as of right now it feels like it may be an easier path to presidency for democrats, especially since there isn't an incumbent.

I doubt there are many 18-22 year old trump voters also.  He has no room to grow his vote, he can only drum up enthusiasm among his existing cult who haven’t died in the last 4 years.

You would be surprised. You think 18-22 year olds with 40 -45 year old parents who are fox news brainwashed don't exist? Lots and lots and lots of them do. The hope is the ones that do like Trump just won't show up to vote.
