Social media erupted Wednesday afternoon as Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) took the stage in Wisconsin. But Walz shut down his speech momentarily when he saw someone fall ill under the hot Eau Claire sun. Looking out across the large crowd gathered, Walz spotted the person off to his left, whom he immediately...

    On behalf of the rest of the world, can I just say thank you to the democrats for getting themselves sorted out and getting into a state where they could beat the gibbering orange gibbon.

      I’m sure the DNC will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Let’s get Hilary, she’ll know what to do! And Debbie!

        My new big fear is not that the democrats will fumble this, it’s that they will not anticipate that republicans are trying to make it so election officials (read: election deniers) can refuse to certify the election. If neither candidate gets to 270 votes, the Republican controlled house picks the president.

      The most urgent foreign policy issue right now is the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. I would say that walz did not display “big dad energy” when he refused to meet with Palestinian families from his state to discuss possible solutions (he was willing to meet, but only to listen and “bear witness” to their stories. That was the extent of his support)

        he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed colour. Became very red.

        Holy shit it’s worse than what I expected

          And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away.

          And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away…

        All of that absolutely tracks for what I would expect of him. And honestly, I could imagine a number of people having similar reactions.

        I feel the disconnect here is I can’t imagine someone going out of their way to tell the story unasked. Like, I feel even amongst the people who would do it they wouldn’t talk about it? And of those they wouldn’t talk about it in an interview, unprompted. That’s the truly baffling part, to me.

          I think when you read that article it’s important to think critically about how it’s composed. I am as anti-trump as the next European “centrist dad”, but nothing I read there made me think he went out of his way to tell that story unprompted. I imagine he was interviewed, said a bunch of stuff, and then someone cherry-picked the quotes they needed to support the narrative of the article… You can’t just take it at face value!?

            But they are giving the context in which he says it.

            The story came about as he was discussing his uneasiness for looking at blood, which prompted him to recall the incident.

            And I wouldn’t call it cherry picking if an article that says: Here is a bad thing Trump said in an old interview is quoting, well, said bad thing. In Context.

            I mean, you are right about what they did. He said a lot of stuff and they represent the things that make him look bad. Doesn’t change that he said them tough.

    “and I have to say, this idea of caring for our neighbor and kindness and a hand up when somebody needs it, or just the sense that people go through things, and to be able to be there when they need it, that’s who we are,” said Walz.

    Warms my heart, America, that you might just elect a president and vice president who I’d gladly spend time with. Walz actually a decent guy. Well picked, Kamala.
