US Politics, August 2024 -- "Unburdened By a Has-Been"

he got the nod because of one weird thing

Walz is seen by Harris’ camp as a deft messenger, popularizing “weird” as a messaging framework to describe former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance — a cutting and clear tagline that went viral over the last two weeks.

it's "he-man woman hater's club" as per the little rascals lol

There were waaaaaay too many Republicans on t.v. saying that KH should pick Shapiro. i didn't trust it.

Starting with Morning Joe.

The He-Man Woman-Haters Club was a neighborhood boys club founded by Spanky and comprising nearly all the boys in the club. Spanky had founded the exclusive club as a defense against girls and Valentine's Day, but Alfalfa's heart was just not in it. His love for Darla keeps him from taking it seriously, but Spanky soon forces him to realize the bonds of brotherhood. Spanky later restores the club as an act of revenge after none of the boys gets invited to the MacGillicuddy Girls' party, and institutes Alfalfa as president. However, when Alfalfa learns the club rules to never fraternize with the girls again, he is forced to rush back and get back a love note he sent to Darla, later trapping the club members there, but he gets busted when the love note is discovered.

democrats, the party for lover boys!

lovin every minute of it

also, alfalfa ends up in drag in that episode.

a la bugs bunny.

and then alfalfa bends the boys over and starts to paddle them.

Man if Walz had the early Seger homemade comp that vectored up through ILM that would be amazing.

haha little rascals is lit! things you were shockingly old when you learned

"quality speaker wires matter people!" i wonder if he's dabbled in any audio fidelity snake oil in his time.

99.9% of Minnesotans could not care less about your daughter's speakers, your joy of classic vinyl, and your love of Bob Seger.

GOP just abandoning the vinyl dad demo entirely

XPS It goes without saying to not read comments sections, but seriously--don't read the comments on that Walz vinyl FB post. Lots of Covid-era MAGA bitching.

He's got Uh Huh on vinyl. Maybe there's video of him doing karaoke of "The Authority Song."

99.9% of Minnesotans could not care less about your daughter's speakers

But the .01% who did all started Bob Seger tribute bands

GOP is really struggling to define these two, the messaging is all over the place

"Dangerous Radicals out of touch with average Americans" says the party that last won the popular vote in 2004

compare any of this walz stuff with the jd vance video of him last week showing us what it's like backstage at a repub rally and it's a white folding table with a box of snickers. i cannot convey how sad and awful the video is

This had me laughing so hard I was crying at 730 am.

gop on top of its game

it almost seems like he just brought that stuff there. he probably had to beg for the table.

If the Dems weren't so inherently hapless most of the time, I would honestly be wondering if the last several weeks weren't part of an intricately-plotted long game. Like way too much has just slotted so neatly into place with such casual, effortless grace, it's hard to believe there isn't some grandmaster moving pieces around behind the curtain

Re: Vance

Please clap, and send more Snickers

Tim Heidecker has done that bit on like four of the On Cinema Oscar Specials

in that terrible philly speech today vance said that kamala had caved to the "hamas wing" of the democratic party by picking walz.

its a big tent

Kamala Chaos was her Roller Derby name.

the dangerous and vicious liberals of minnesota. we've heard all about them for years. terrifying.

Re: that O_o Vance video, like our event budget at work is meager at best but we still manage a better spread than that no matter how many single-digit dozens of people we're expecting to attend.

someone on my facebook thanked donald trump for the great nickname idea and had a big picture of KH with LION KAMALA over the top. i thought that could actually catch on!

JD Vance hit Tim Walz as a "San Francisco-style liberal" during his remarks in Philadelphia a while ago.

A key irony there: Vance spent about four years living in SF between 2013 and 2017 as a venture capitalist.

Walz visited SF for the first time *just last month.*

it's wild + the Repubs are wayyyy off their game

They are so STUCK with Trump. It's honestly hilarious.

vs. Trump with his cybertruck + Beach Boys hellscape video from yesterday

tbf Vance would have also said Shapiro was Hamas

i made an obama version.

bravo! Send it to her campaign

One thing I learned reporting on Walz’s teaching years is that when he coached middle school basketball he secretly lowered a hoop and convinced his team that he could dunk

If I heard correctly on TV, Amy Klobuchar just said her mother in law gave the Walz family a chicken parmesan bake when their son was born. absolutely violent levels of midwestern.
