It's Walz

[George K]

I'm watching the Harris/Walz rally in Philly. Shapiro's on stage and he's spent the last 15 minutes yelling.

Literally yelling.

@George-K Wait until he finds out what Trump did to skirt his duty.

Just so you know, this is called a Ratio. When the number of views far exceed the likes and when the number of comments far exceed the number of likes. In politics, it will typically indicate a weakness and a position that may hurt the person’s chances…

Think about the moment in the VP Debate when Vance brings up the fact that Walz retired to avoid the combat that Vance enlisted for.

It is never going to be otherwise. It's not possible.

And when the number of comments far exceed the number of likes.

What that means is "kneejerk reactions." Usually it means an extreme—could be good, could be bad.

Although in politics, it would be exceedingly rare indeed for this to be a positive indication. Like if Biden punched out RFK or something I guess it might happen but it's far from the norm.

By the way, that article I linked - it's from 6 years ago.

I wonder what Brenda thinks....

Surely we all know the answer to that.

Walz reenlisted 7 days after 9/11, after serving his 20. That’s not what you would do if you were afraid of service during wartime like Trump.

My what prescient Swiftboaters they were!

Like I wrote they wasted no time to deploy. Hell, they were already in the water!

I've listened to Walz. I know he is a masculine and common sense sort of pick for the left. I didn't so much like the language he used when he called Trump a bastard. He wants to position himself that way, it will align the opposition.

And another loss for Trump to Biden. Trump only got 4 student deferments and on 1-Y classification. Biden got FIVE student deferments and a 1-Y deferment.

WINNER!

I listened to his interview in which calls Trump that. Didn’t care much for it all either. He does not use the epithet with the same erudition and panache as Sean Bean:

The most spontaneous, unscripted, not cringe-worthy phone call ever.

You know, the wife has multiple kinfolk who served in Vietnam. Including one with a bronze or silver star (TBH, I've forgotten which).

I don't think I've ever heard any of them knock anybody for staying out of Nam, by any legal means possible.

The Vietnam service argument might work with some of the below 40 crowd, who simply don't know any better, but I thinks it's a non-issue.

Cringey.

I am so pissed at DeSantis.

[Mik]

For?

[Jolly]

Walz...The guy that let his city burn for three days, while trying to get people to snitch on their neighbors for playing basketball outside.

One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness. - Walz

Well, if you like riots and Stazi-light, he's your guy...

[LuFins Dad]

@Mik said in It's Walz:

Running a piss poor campaign and not truly laying into Trump like he could have and should have.

[Aqua Letifer]

I'll tell you what I'm disappointed about.

It's been a whole freaking day and still no one here has made this joke.
