Harris picks Tim Walz as VP choice

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Starting to detect a level of salivation at the prospect of getting what appears to be a dream team for furthering socialism that is pretty disgusting.

Do you think Trump and Vance will debate Harris and Walz?  

And I though crowd size matters and was relevant, at least that's what Trump is always saying. He has been complaining recently that there were 1000's outside trying to get in but couldn't. Probably the deep state working with the SS and FBI to keep people out, huh? yeah, that's it. I think people are sick and tired of the prospect of an crazy old man with no real policies. A VP pick of a weird preppie east coast Yale graduate, who is financed by the elites in Silicon Valley, doesn't help with midwest farmers once they get to know him. That'll be a job for Walz.

My candidate? I think I have said it enough times it should have sunk in by now. Trump is not now nor never has been "my candidate".....He has certainly been the lessor of 2 evils and STILL is though lol

I do hope we get to see some debates.....Kamala will bury herself lol

Tell ya what Rod....Here is a little homework for you.


Can we agree Pedophilia should not be considered an “allowable” sexual orientation. Calling it “minor-attracted person” doesn’t make it any better?

Look up your new boy Walz and his position on this......that is disgusting enough.

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

https://nypost.com/2024/08/06/opinion/kamala-harris-tim-walz-side-with-teachers-unions-over-parents/

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

Posted By Greg Shaffer

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.....
