In re endorsements for Kamala Harris: Yay, LeBron James! > **[LeBron James endorses Kamala Harris in presidential race against Trump | CNN...](https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/31/politics/lebron-james-endorses-kamala-harris/index.html)** > > Basketball superstar LeBron James threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid Thursday evening, emphasizing that “the choice is clear” just days ahead of Election Day. I mean, it’s not as though his fan base was likely to be largely MAGA. Still: his stepping up is appreciated. (No doubt a lot of celebrities don’t endorse because they just prefer not to get into politics or prefer to keep their views private. Holding back from endorsing may not be about fear of Trump but instead just a dislike of getting into the fray. So when they do step up, it means a lot.) ---

I know you’re joking, but Scaramucci’s been posting pro-Kamala stuff on Twitter for months. ---

He also co-hosts a podcast along with Katty Kay (“The rest is politics - US edition”) which has been once of the best out there this cycle and has been keeping me sane all summer, he’s a generally good pundit with especially good insight from his experience on what’s going on behind-the-scenes in Trumpworld. He makes no bones about the fact that’s he’s a never-Trumper but still holding old-school R economic beliefs. ---

If I express an opinion in the form of expressing a fact and somebody calls me on it, sure, I’ll accept the correction if I can’t back it up as a fact. If what I said was “I don’t like lemon in my tea”, that’s an unverifiable opinion that I’m entitled to have because it’s about the inside of my own head; not somebody else’s. I’ll just take it that you’re agreeing that what you said wasn’t factual. ---

Not sure how much of an “indicator” this is, but there’s some favorable movement today over at Predictit. Couple of different markets over there that would all be considered correlated : “Who will win the Presidency?” “Will Kamala Harris be the 47th President?” (I suppose the variable there would be if Biden resigns). “Which Party wins the Presidency”? “Will there be a woman elected in 2024?” **[PredictIt](https://www.predictit.org/markets/3/Presidency)** Anyway, for the most part each of them have had (as of right now 5:40pm Central) approximately 10-point swings today to the good. Most of them started out today in the range of 52 him 48 her, and have now flipped to around 53 her 47 him. ---

> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > Two more signs have sprung up near me, and they both read “Presidens are Temporary/WU-TANG IS FOREVER”. Amazingly, that manages to be both funny and dumb. Saw another Wu-Tang sign today, but beside it was a crudely handmade sign that said BUT STILL VOTE. ---

Today I saw a Harris-Walz sign spray painted to read “Harry-Ballz” I tittered like a ten year old for half a minute. Then I remembered the spray paint artist was likely a racist piece of shit that’s supporting a felon rapist fascist to destroy our Republic and it wasn’t so funny anymore. Maybe if things go well on Tuesday I’ll remember back on that sign and allow myself to giggle again. ---
