I haven't seen Walz speak yet, but he can't be more wooden and awkward than Vance. Painful to watch. Somehow even worse than Trump. he's clever and funny. i think that will mesh well with Harris.

The Borowitz Report
Trump Claims Walz Was Never White BeforePHILADELPHIA (The Borowitz Report)—Responding to Vice President Harris’s choice of Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday, Donald J. Trump claimed that the Minnesota governor “was never white before.” “I saw him on television many, many times, and, quite frankly, he was never white,” Trump said. “Then, he suddenly became white.” Hinting that “there’s something going on,” Trump said that Walz’s “last-minute decision to become white” was “something that should be looked into.” Asked what Walz was before he became white, Trump responded, “I think Walz is some kind of a dance. So what is he, white or a dance? I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t.” The Borowitz Report Trump Claims Walz Was Never White Before

Walz is a good choice. He's managed to put abortion rights in the state constitution, so he supports women. He has the respect of the Muslim community. Walz didn't "bow" to the GOP when business leaders wanted to reopen the state too soon when Covid was at its peak. Walz has also pushed through things like paid maternity leave, and other benefits for workers. Those who like him, REALLY like him. Those who don't usually vote GOP.

A video from 2019 on why Trump probably rolled back CA emission standards back then. I think I only watched about two minutes in to get the jist of it.

Found that video in response to the silliness in this article. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/targeting-tim-walz-team-trump-flunks-a-test-of-self-awareness/ar-AA1okK94?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=b41df1610fc7466988ce8ecf42d3741a&ei=13No matter who Vice President Kamala Harris picked as her 2024 running mate, Donald Trump and his Republican campaign operation was prepared to go after him or her with a vengeance. In fact, it seems awfully likely that the over-the-top press statements and fundraising appeals were already written — and Team Trump was simply waiting for a name to fill in.
It was against this backdrop that the former president’s campaign sent a solicitation to prospective donors this morning, telling them that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz would “unleash hell on Earth” if the Democratic ticket prevails.
No, seriously, that’s what the fundraising message said.
But as it turns out, that’s not all the GOP nominee and his operation had to say. The Hill highlighted a written statement sent to the media from Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda,” Leavitt’s statement said.

I wonder if deep down, Biden is relieved not to be running. I doubt it, but I think he's been very busy with the prisoner swap and other foreign policy issues. Hopefully he is taking some time to watch the Olympics and make a few congratulations calls.

Sarah Huckabee, Arkansas governor, was trying to trash talk new VP running mate Walz. x.com/aglovesupreme19/status/1820827196010754074Walz got free breakfast and lunch for all Minnesota kids. Huckabee lowered the age when kids could get a job.

She can pound sand. she was a nepo appointee to her position to ass-kiss, and she sucked at it. that she ever got elected anywhere says everything about that electorate. /steps off soapbox

Well after 240 yrs of being a Republic, we now have 2 socialists, Harris and Walz, running for the top 2 offices in the land. Like a Bernie Sanders 2.0. Our only hope is that the GOP gets control of both houses of Congress to stop the up coming socialist agenda. A Utopian society. A socialist dream. Free housing, free medical, unlimited unchecked immigration, open borders, rampant spending on socialist issues and god only knows what else. A cradle to grave socialist idea. You don't have to work because the govt will take care of you. At least with Trump, we know he's a capitalist.

Not only is trump a capitalist, he's also a well known sexual abuser of women (the judge called it rape) and convicted felon. A role model for our nation's children for sure.

I guess the millions Trump has bilked from the taxpayers by his fuzzy accounting methods is okay with the GOP And you know what is really funny? JD Vance grew up on government assistance. Kept him and Mawma from starving to death. As the matter of fact, we now have two 2 faced communist, Trump and Vance, running for the top 2 offices in the land. Our only hope is that the GOP loses every race in the election to stop Project 25. I hope Harris/Walz pound this to the voters every single day.

Our only hope is that the GOP loses every race in the election to stop Project 25. I hope Harris/Walz pound this to the voters every single day. The interesting thing about Vance is his is not a rags to riches story, although they are marketing it as such. Vance was saved on both ends of his life so far. Government assistance helped to keep him and mom to survive for other things to be possible. I've yet to read his book or watch the movie. That said, Peter Thiel the hard right RW billionaire wanting to direct this election pre-selected JD Vance as a VP for Trump for this specific election. (From potential riches to big money millions into billions type of riches) He plucked him from Yale Law school and gave him not one, but two jobs he was not qualified for. This set him up to learn some things like investments and two have some bona fides like becoming a senator on his way to be VP for 2024, not even 2020. Billionaires have enough cash and resources they can fund projects like JD Vance. A big reason the GOP is against DEI is it disrupts the billionaire affirmative action program where they get to decide if you are worthy or not. They usually choose someone who will fit into the club they (billionaire patron) already belong to. (Movie homework - Trading Places) How are US conservative billionaires like Thiel and Musk get the breaks and service they are used to from GOP politicians if we change the rules? Sadly, as the Mendez conviction points out, in the end many countries and billionaires are immoral moneygrubbers and will do whatever it takes to stay on their mountain.

Elon musk is going to interview Trump on Monday.
Why anyone wants to watch that is a mystery. Two narcissists fawning over each other and themselves.
On a business note, Musk, who famously told the Twitter advertisers to go pound sand when he bought the company two years ago, has experienced declining revenues ever since.
Musk is now suing an industry group representing numerous global brands, accusing it of conspiring to deprive X of billions of dollars.
So they don’t like x and don’t want to advertise on it because a shithead loud mouth owns it - and X can sue him over it?

Two rich people talking that are conservative. Trump has made himself a lifestyle brand since The Apprentice.

Yep, good ole flip flopping Trump: Speaking to supporters in Atlanta, Trump now said EVs aren’t all that bad, adding they could continue being a small slice of the U.S. car market should he retake the White House. “I’m for electric cars. I have to be, you know, because Elon Musk endorsed me very strongly,” he said in comments shared widely throughout Musk's fanbase by accounts like John Stringer’s Tesla Owners Silicon Valley and blogsite Teslarati. “So I have no choice.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/donald-trump-admits-ev-flip-flop-was-a-quid-pro-quo-to-secure-elon-musk-s-support/ar-AA1ogjsK

I know several MN Trump backers that were pretty happy with the statewide sick leave policy started this year as well. I made sure to remind them that they should thank Walz for that. Nothing but grumbles.
