Kamala’s VP Pick

[Aglaopheme]

Members of the Kennedy family felt compelled to speak out against their black sheep. Looks like a member of the Walz family is in a similar situation.

One person vs most of your family is not quite the same thing. Nice try, though!

And as for that Jeff Walz “endorsement” Trump was touting, it stems from posts that Jeff Walz published on Facebook saying he opposed his brother’s ideology and claimed to have “stories” he could tell that would show brother Tim is “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.” It certainly sounded salacious, but Jeff Walz — who donated to Trump’s 2016 campaign and said he’s had minimal contact with his brother over the last eight years — told NewsNation that he regrets the post and doesn’t want to be involved in the race.

idiot sounded off a little but didn't grasp what magats and team trump would attempt to do with his life... he's certainly no 'endorsing' trump. Now he's all 'leave me alone!'

And those “stories” about their younger years that he was prepared to tell? “Nobody wanted to sit with him, because he had car sickness and would always throw up on us, that sort of thing,” Jeff Walz told the NewsNation. “There’s really nothing else hidden behind there. People are assuming something else. There’s other stories like that, but I think that probably gives you the gist of it.”

they've tried attacking him though his valor, his dog, his son, his family... and now, because he uses a straw in his milkshake... strawgate. yes, really:

On Wednesday, Watters said on his network: “Women love masculinity, and women do not love Tim Walz, so that should just tell you about how masculine Tim Walz is. The other day you saw him with a vanilla ice cream shake. Had a straw in it. Again, that tells you everything.”

so, by not being weird and using a straw in his milkshake like a normal person seems like something they think they can use against him? w.t.h.f???!

First off, as Watters demonstrated, the properly masculine he-man way to say “vanilla shake” is “vanilla ice cream shake.” That’s how every real, normal man says it, whether at Dairy Queen, the McDonald’s drive-thru or your local ice cream shop. You don’t ask for a “vanilla shake.” That’s weak. You ask for a “vanilla ice cream shake.” It’s firm, there’s no ambiguity about what the vanilla ice cream shake contains and you’re making clear it’s a full-fat, genuine American milkshake and not some delicate hippie oat-milk beverage.

‘He Did Not Complete the Degree Program’: Tim Walz Repeatedly Claimed He Was ‘Nearly Finished’ With Doctorate Years After He Disappeared from University​

Walz was only enrolled at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota until 2004 but said until 2011 that he was close to getting his doctorate​

September 5, 2024

As recently as 2011, Tim Walz claimed in official biographies for his campaign and congressional office that he was on the verge of completing a doctorate in education, a decade after he enrolled in a doctorate program at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in the small town of Winona.

The university, however, told the Washington Free Beacon that its last records indicating Walz was an active student are dated to 2004.

"We can confirm that Governor Walz attended Saint Mary's from 2001-2004 in our doctorate level Ed.D. program," the school's communications director, Ashly Bissen, told the Free Beacon. "He did not complete the degree program."

Walz would nonetheless claim through 2011 that he was an active student "nearly finished with his doctorate at St. Mary's University in Winona, Minnesota," as his congressional biography put it, four years after he arrived on Capitol Hill.

What a reach. Did you read the language used in his bio? It's 100% factual. But I guess nothing burgers are the bread and butter of Free Beacon.

Tim Walz hit back at Republicans with a “fact of life” Saturday after Sen. JD Vance’s (R-Ohio) response following the deadly school shooting in Georgia.

The Minnesota governor, in a speech to the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner in Washington, D.C., knocked right-wing book ban efforts by pointing to a bill he signed into law this year that prohibits book bans at libraries in his state.

“Like reading about two male penguins who love each other is somehow going to turn your children gay and that’s what you should worry about,” said Walz, referring to the frequently-challenged children’s book “And Tango Makes Three” as he paused for light laughs from the crowd.

“But here’s what I’ll tell you. It’s a fact of life some people are gay but you know what’s not a fact of life? That our children need to be shot dead in schools. That’s not a fact of life.”

“Look, that’s not this country, it doesn’t have to be this way, it doesn’t happen elsewhere,” said Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate.

He continued, “We’re gonna make sure our children are seen, they bring their authentic selves and then we’re gonna make sure they’re safe when they get there.”

Minnesota Gov. Walz, giving a campaign rally speech in Asheville, North Carolina, talked about Trump’s attempt to “violently overthrow” the last election result and declared there’s “no doubt” Trump lost and there’s “no need to have fair and balanced news coverage on that because there is no fair and balance, he lost the election fair and square.

“you play hard, the other team plays hard and after the game, if you lose you walk across and shake hands and congratulate the other team.”

“In politics you take it another step forward,” he continued. “You walk across and congratulate the winner and then you pledge to do all you can to help them succeed because that’s good for America.”

“Now I did teach for a while, I think I’m a pretty good teacher, and I would always give me students extra chances to learn. Sometimes you don’t learn the lesson the first tme. So Donald Trump did not learn the lesson the first time, but the good news is he’s going to learn the lesson in November.”

i appreciate Tim's sense of optimism
unfortunately, i see trump as more that mentally unwell student who fails to learn, acts out, gets expelled, threatens to come back and blow the school to bits

I hold out more hope for republicans if they see trump get defeated again, that they'll distance themselves post-haste

please be right, Tim.

To be excruciatingly fair, the deplorables probably honestly don't know how common it is for doctoral students to never complete their degrees (*raises hand*), or that it's perfectly kosher to let things stand for a few years before deciding whether or not to go back and finish.

you tell 'em, Tim

In an apparent dig at Robinson, Walz, who is Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate on the Democratic ticket, explained during a campaign stop on Saturday the role that Minnesota and Pennsylvania had in defeating Nazi Germany in the 1940s, but claimed to the people of Allentown, Pennsylvania, that neo-Nazism exists in the Republican Party.

"That iron from the northern Minnesota iron range fueled the steel mills here right in the Lehigh Valley. Together, it was our people that built the tanks that won World War II and freed the world from Nazi oppression," Walz told the crowd. "I don't know if you noticed Nazi tyranny, we got folks running as Republicans for governor that are proud to refer to themselves as Nazis. Let's not pretend that there's a gradual difference between the folks that are running here."

A video of Walz's comments posted to X, formerly Twitter, has received 590,400 views since it was posted by a senior digital editor for MeidasTouch, a liberal news network, who goes by the name Acyn shortly before 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday afternoon.

Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump super PAC, shared the video and wrote on X, "He WENT THERE. And I'm here for it. As I like to say, if the jackboot fits..."

Lol, Walz's "deplorables" moment has arrived. Calling the American voting public "nazis" isn't going to win any votes and could cost a few.

As Hillary found out in 2016.

meanwhile, trump held a rally in NC and completely neglected to mention robinson... you know, that guy he's played cheerleader for, the same one running for governor as a trump pick. yes, that one! how absurd.

Former President Donald Trump returned to the key battleground state of North Carolina for a rally Saturday, but declined to mention Mark Robinson -- his party's nominee for governor in the state.

The rally went on amid the allegations surrounding the Republican lieutenant governor, who the former president had previously supported and called "Martin Luther King on steroids."

the lines between deliberate misinformation and just plain dumbarsedness blurs:

His name is Tim Walz, of course, but it didn’t appear that way on 257 ballots sent to service members and voters abroad, as Wendy Sartory Link, the county elections supervisor, told the newspaper.

Link, a Democrat who’s running for reelection on that same ballot, said the office became aware of the mistake 18 hours after the ballots were distributed. Voters were notified and given the option of downloading an updated ballot, she said.

Palm Beach County has a checkered history in terms of balloting. In 2000, a so-called butterfly ballot used there is believed by some to have led thousands of Democratic supporters of Al Gore to accidentally vote for Reform candidate Pat Buchanan instead, in an election narrowly won by Republican George W. Bush. In 2018, Palm Beach County machines malfunctioned on a recount and missed the deadline for submitting results.

Link blamed the recent goof on a vendor making a “manual typed change” to what was an accurate ballot.

Whether the ballot reads “Tom Walz” or “Tim Walz,” an intended vote for the Democratic ticket will be properly tabulated, Link told the Times.

Poll suggests GOP effort to smear Tim Walz didn’t work at all

With six weeks to go before Election Day, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz enjoys surprising levels of support. JD Vance does not.

They can't even smear properly

It doesn't hurt that he just comes across as a fundamentally decent man on most people's first impressions. While that is emotional rather than factual or rational, it's an excellent start and tends to make smears harder to land. Vance just doesn't strike one in quite that manner.

 

[adrina]

Has he done one interview yet?

Why do you care? Trump gives interviews which makes zero sense on a regular basis, rambling on endlessly about frankly stupid and false things, making ridiculous and irrational statements. It's not like if Walz gave any interviews that you would vote for them.

You've already shown that your propensity for rational thought is wrapped up in wishful thinking.

 

[JoePepsiCo]

Has he done one interview yet?

Uh..., yeah..., are you..., ahem...,



... blinded by hate?
(And Hate is a virulent form of Envy, as in I, metaphorically, want to have what he has [only better]).

 

[SevMax2]

If you're asking me to vote based upon which candidate I would want a heartbeat away from the Presidency, I'd prefer the coach to the writer who keeps rewriting his own story and who describes himself as "postliberal."

Frustrating, isn't it?
You devoted most of August to impugning Command Sergeant Major's integrity, and not a single G-d damned one of your smear attempts had any staying power.

Typical of your kind, you've now pivoted to attacking his loved ones, hence your "crazed wife" comment.

Thank G-d your father never lived long enough to see what a failure his son had become.

 

[adrina]

Walz is apparently the brain of that ticket by default. If all they have is voting against the other team, then they've already lost, but the next assassination attempt could be successful.

This is just another incidence of you coming off as devoid of reality.

Kamala Harris is accomplished in her own right and for you to even say that is just not... serious.

Or either you're biased as all get out - or dumb as a rock.

Pick one.

Have you listened to his wife? Come on man. When she addresses the American people she becomes a public figure subject to criticism.

I have not listened to his wife. I have no idea who she is or what she has said.
She's irrelevant to my decision making process.

In fact, I cannot recall the spouse of any vice presidential candidate with the exception of Sarah Palin's now ex-husband Todd Palin. What a dingleberry he was!
