A couple of correspondents asked to hear more about this story Donald Trump made up about Kamala Harris visiting Vladimir Putin. Here's more about it. I suppose Trump might not have made it up himself. But he seems willing to repeat and spread anything he hears about anyone he considers an enemy and that's just as bad as making it up in the first place. Trump is also making up (or spreading) bogus stats on the impact of Climate Change.
Here's Jonathan V. Last explaining what the Democratic Convention was all about. I think a lot of it was about showing possibly-persuadable folks leaning towards the G.O.P. that the opponents being demonized are not at all demons. I have no idea how many of those possibly-persuadable were persuaded but the Dems sure gave it a try.
