Trump had a rally in Arizona last night where he boasted that the VP's brother endorsed him after the debate.
Kamala Harris doesn't have a brother.
Other than that, go Don!

All this time, no-one has been talking about her complete and TOTAL FAILURE to have a brother. What are they trying to hide?

Losing the Plot: The “Leftists” Who Turn Right
What do we make of former friends who fell down the rabbit hole of the Right?

I thought this was pretty good about leftists who end up going to trump and adopting some/many far right views. I feel pretty horrible about some stuff I believed for a bit and this helped me put things in perspective too.

The cat-eating claim Trump and Vance amplified was fact-checked about as well as you'd expect from them
NewsGuard identified and tracked down the two people central to the claim: Erika Lee, the Springfield resident who wrote the original Facebook post, and Kimberly Newton, the neighbor who had provided her with a third-hand account of the rumor, making Lee’s social media post a fourth-hand account: the alleged acquaintance/cat owner; Newton’s friend; Newton; and Lee, who posted it on Facebook.
“I’m not sure I’m the most credible source because I don’t actually know the person who lost the cat,” Newton said about the rumor she had passed on to her neighbor, Lee, the Facebook poster. Newton explained to NewsGuard that the cat owner was “an acquaintance of a friend” and that she heard about the supposed incident from that friend, who, in turn, learned about it from “a source that she had.” Newton added: “I don’t have any proof.”

“I’m not sure I’m the most credible source because I don’t actually know the person who lost the cat,” Kimberly Newton told NewsGuard. She is the Springfield, Ohio, resident whose story started it all.

Maybe he's getting mixed up and meant the prospective VP, as Walz has a maga brother, plus other members of his family

what a crazy timeline, as the youngsters would say
"Laura Loomer, a Social-Media Instigator, Is Back at Trump’s Side
The former president’s decision to elevate Laura Loomer, a far-right activist known for racist and homophobic posts online, has stunned even some Trump allies."

Yeah, saw a picture of Trump giving her a cuddle at Mar-a-lago.
His wife was in New York because she calls his place in Florida a swamp.

Years ago, I was doing an A'Level in politics at a local college.Losing the Plot: The “Leftists” Who Turn Right
What do we make of former friends who fell down the rabbit hole of the Right?
I thought this was pretty good about leftists who end up going to trump and adopting some/many far right views. I feel pretty horrible about some stuff I believed for a bit and this helped me put things in perspective too.
A'Level = Advanced Level, which was next step up from O'Level = Ordinary Level, which was roughly same level as US high school diploma.
Anyway, the teacher had a special interest in US politics, so we followed the syllabus for UK and US politics (not just UK).
One time, she set us some homework to watch a documentary on television about US politics.
This was back in the day before internet/video on demand, etc. And because I'd planned to watch it live, I hadn't arranged to video record it (not sure if I even had a video recorder at home at the time).
Unfortunately, I missed the start, missed the first 10 minutes or so, but watch all of it in a slight state of confusion. Because due to missing the start, I'd missed the bit where they put some of the interviewee's names, job titles, [political party/think tank/whatever] on screen. I was really into UK politics and could've recognised most British politicians and political commentators, but because they were American, I wasn't sure who many of them were.
During the next lesson, teacher asked for our thoughts on the programme, and I explained something along the lines that I wasn't sure whether some of the interviewees were left wing or right wing, because they'd start off saying something that seemed left (or right) wing, but then as they carried on talking it would seem that they'd gone so far left that they'd come out the other side as far right (or vice versa).
To me, it seemed as though it wasn't so much a political spectrum with polar opposites, left on one side and right at the other, it was more like a circle.
Thinking back now, I feel like it was happenstance, because if I'd watched from the beginning and new who they were, I would've anchored their comments to either the left or the right of the political spectrum and reflected on them in that context.
I suppose that political compass, which has left and right axes, and also libertarian? and authoritian? axes is more accurate than left-right/x-y, but still doesn't capture that backflip nature of some people's politics shifting from (usually) left to far left to far right, although the opposite does sometimes happen, albeit seemingly more rarely.

If you’ve never noticed Trump’s ‘neck pussy’ before (or even if you have) the presidential debate was a horrific treat
Readers of a sensitive disposition, look away now. We’ve written before – a long time ago – about the phenomenon of Donald Trump’s ‘neck pussy’ (don’t say we didn’t warn you!) But never has it been quite so in evidence as during the first presidential debate between the White House wannabe and...

No, I don't think that.
I was defining what the A in A'Level meant and putting it into historical context - given that, as I clearly explained, I was talking about something that happened "years ago" - for an urbanite who I assumed to be American.
