Harris picks Tim Walz as VP choice

The most I could even find on anything remotely related is:

And that's from the NYP!

Seems to me the content and language of that law Walz signed would be significant on whether its nuts or not.....lol

As it turns out.... that bill he signed into law removed language that separated pedophilia from sexual orientations meaning now it’s protected. In my opinion, that does the LGBTQ community a huge disservice.

This for all purposes makes him a proponent of pedophilia which makes him sick in the head. He signed legislation that protects pedophilia!!

  It should work ok.....when things are really calm. Any breeze at all and it will be shaky.

This is just bad form. JD Vance "Swift Boats" Walz military service

Bottom line is Walz has stuck his foot in his mouth several times regarding his time in service.

Regardless of opinions I tend to go with my impressions of the person.....

Vance appears to be the guy that would mow your grass because you broke your leg...... Walz appears to be the guy that would call the HOA because your grass is too tall......

That about covers it for me.....

At least when I steal a good and/or funny quote I acknowledge it with a link as to where I got it.

And remember your mantra: you don't like the man, but you like his policies.

Guess it really chaps your ass as well...... lol
