so, its Tampon Tim. Interesting choice. And by interesting, I mean awful. Harris needed to pick a candidate who can appeal to the more moderate members of the party as well as independents that usually wind up picking the president. Instead she is signaling she is planning on abandoning that effort to instead run up the numbers of the leftist and AWFL voting blocs.

This was a truly huge mistake on her part because of just how much ammo there is against this guy. Hes already facing all sorts of Stolen Valor claims because he abandoned his unit when they were called up to go to Iraq. Something JD Vance is going to hammer relentlessly.

 

In a way though, it does make sense that Tampon Tim is the pick. Harris couldnt go with Shapiro even though he is the far better choice, and presented a far more dangerous threat to the GOPs chances of winning. The pro-Hamas and antisemitic wings of the democratic party are just too strong anymore. They already worked together as well, so I guess thats a reason she picked him. Back in 2020 he let his cities burn during the BLM riots, and then she worked to get bail money to get the rioters out of jail.

 

This is also likely the first ticket in modern Presidential history where neither the Presidential nor Vice Presidential candidate picked up a single delegate in a primary process. Which will have absolutely no possibly chance of backfiring on them in any way. Nope, no possible way.

Ooooooooh, a duel of the dumbs!

Who will come out the stupidest? Distorted? MD?

Find out next time on..... DUMBASS BALL PEE!!!

Idk how you can’t like Wallz. He’s the first candidate that I can remember that actually has done things that I want for the nation 

he took a multi billion dollar surplus and invested it in infrastructure and his constituents instead of giving it back to the wealthy 

that is how free college and student meals are getting paid he’s also for a higher fed min wage. He’s a fine choice that people are actually excited about

MSNBC looks into the idea that hes going to somehow bring Rural votes along. Turns out, he does not have a history of actually doing that.

He won his race by virtually the same margins as Biden did and he does not bring along those Rural voters who Trump is carrying by huge margins. Its pretty clear that the idea that he is somehow going to bring those rural voters along is a myth. It sounds good for the media, but reality does not back that up.

Wtf is the point of bringing up military service when the dude is running with Mr Bone Spurs?

the man served 24 years. in national guard. and retired in '05. 

yes...that compares to a orange nut sack playing dressup at a military academy he barely graduated from. and then...the bone spurs. all the bone spurs. lmao...

Walz enlisted in the Army National Guard in Nebraska in 1981 and retired honorably in 2005 as the top enlisted soldier for 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery Regiment, in the Minnesota National Guard, according to a copy of his records provided by the Minnesota Guard. He reached the rank of command sergeant major and served in that role, but he officially retired as a master sergeant for benefits purposes because he didn't finish a required training course, according to the records and a statement from the Minnesota Guard.

His Guard career included responding to natural disasters in the United States, as well as a deployment to Italy to support U.S. operations in Afghanistan, according to a 2018 article by Minnesota Public Radio. Walz earned several awards, including the Army Commendation Medal and two Army Achievement Medals, according to his military records. Working a civilian job as a high school teacher and football coach, the Nebraska native was also named that state's Citizen Soldier of the Year in 1989, according to official biographies.

During the 2022 Minnesota governor's race, Walz' opponent accused him of leaving the Guard when he did in order to avoid a deployment to Iraq, though Walz maintained he retired in order to focus on running for Congress, according to the Star Tribune newspaper.

Far-right commentators and media resurfaced those allegations and knocked him for never serving in combat -- something he has never claimed to do -- in contrast with Vance's deployment to Iraq as a combat correspondent.

"Looks like it is time to bring back Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Oof. Walz is a really unforced error. He bailed on the military when they decided to send him to Iraq. JD Vance actually served," conservative talk radio host Erick Erickson posted on social media Tuesday.

Walz was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2006, becoming the highest-ranking retired enlisted soldier to serve in Congress.

His tenure in Congress included sitting on the House Veterans Affairs Committee, rising to be its ranking member in 2017.

Then there's this wonderful piece of news. Cori Bush, one of the most vile antisemitic members of Congress, is out.

That's a great result from the Democratic process.

She was forced out by the pro-Israel lobby

When Trump loses, he's going to blame JD Vance and then ruin his political career. 

I'm amazed by the lemmings who choose to ally themselves with him.

They're both formal liberal darlings who went hard right. It's like throwing a younger version of himself under the bus lol

He served for 24 years and decided to run for Congress instead of going to Iraq.  He won his Congressional bid, serving his country as a US Rep.
 

Conservatives bringing up Wallz retirement after 24 years sounds so desperate considering Trump is a draft dodger that faked bone spurs

maybe producing a slick video and leaking it ahead of the decision was the wrong play

Shapiro was being too presumptuous and was too concerned with his own political aspirations. Shapiro screwed himself out of the bid 

fetterman apparently said as much to the campaign team beforehand, does that make him antisemitic

I wonder where Mark Kelly came in on this, not that Tim Walz isn't the best possible choice..

Oh yea, this is going to be fun. Good luck winning that rural vote when his own men are saying hes a coward who abandoned them before being deployed.

Ah, how could I tell a video posted by a group called Alpha News shared by MD would have a low factual reporting rating?

Hmmmm.... 🤔

Is it because he showed less interest?

I'm not actually sure why, tbh. I don't think he didn't express interest, he was one of the three finalists who did an in-person interview. If he wasn't interested he'd have pulled a Cooper and dropped out of the running early.

under-discussed race from yesterday's primaries: 

image.png

The incumbent flipped this conservative seat in 2022 through a combination of a moderate campaign, an arch-conservative opponent (who took the incumbent R's slot in the open-party primary), and 2022 being a Dem-leaning election cycle.

And Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is going to face that same arch-conservative again. Assuming these numbers hold, she'll have won the open primary with just under half the votes which puts her in a great spot to hold the seat in November.

no one debates policy, at least not anymore. they barely talked about any policy the last 2 elections. trump is old but he did handle those other candidates in 2016 and 2020 in the debates. and i use the term debates loosely since its all a show. a shit show. all we know is both candidates support israel and US hegemony world wide. they been trying to distance kamala from the failed biden policy which is the right strategy. 

 

What do you mean by "no one debates policy, at least not anymore"? Trump has only run in two elections, and at the beginning, before he rose to the top, yes, people did still at least attempt to discuss policy. He has definitely tried his best to dumb politics down to his level but he's hardly been around for decades.

Let's not be so accepting of nonsense just because it worked for a few years. Kamala still has the option to, at least within her own campaign and future handling of Trump, turn that around. The right will predictably ignore it, but the right isn't going to vote left for anything. Remember, these are the same people who fell for anti-vax rhetoric; they are already lost causes. They gladly sacrificed their "loved ones" just to back a snake oil salesman so setting your expectations and behavior based on them is a bad idea.

The fact still remains that Trump wanted Biden in the race, which means he felt he was an even/easy match. Why would he be worried about Kamala?

I think he's worried for the reasons I already provided. If she doesn't rise to his bait and she sticks to her talking points with some snark added in, he'll make himself look stupid. Stupid people will always vote for stupid people but he's a narcissist and he hates being laughed at.
