Tim Walz’ record in Minnesota
- Thread starter Menace Sockeyes
- Start date
On May 26, 2020 it was clear that law enforcement was outnumbered. They couldn't respond to all of the 911 calls related to the looting and arson that was occurring.
May 27, 2020: looting and arson continues.
On May 28, 2020, Walz finally called up the National Guard.
It's hard to believe he was born in 1964. He's the same age as Eddie Vedder, while looking like Eddie Vedder's dad.
So now the Speaker of the House isn’t responsible for the National Guard?
He’s said on Twitter (in response to him being same age as Kamala) that being a teacher and doing cafeteria duty will do that to you
Because the rust belt loves fracking and coal mining more than Jesus?
if Menace is going to lie and then attempt to insult me after being caught in his lies, I can throw the truth & his BS right back in his face.
Why aren't you saying anything to Menace regarding his conduct? Well, the answer is obvious now, isn't it?
this is a good attempt, but why are you subbing in someone at nose guard if you're on offense?
Not gonna lie, seeing all the Trump idiots bashing the VP pick brings a smile to my face.
It's a great pick, I wish he was actually the presidential nominee.

Picking Walz doesn't come without risks. While his selection underscores Democrats' effort to aggressively go after Midwestern voters, he doesn't bring a specific battleground state advantage: Minnesota hasn’t gone red in a presidential race since 1972.
The pro-Trump super PAC, MAGA Inc., immediately painted Walz as "incompetent" in a statement and called him and Harris "both far-left radicals that don't know how to govern." Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign press secretary, called Walz a "West Coast wannabe" who has tried "to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State."
Critics have reintroduced questions about his governing record. They include concerns over a delay calling in the National Guard as protests engulfed Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd by city police officers in May 2020, as well as the fact that the biggest pandemic fraud case in the U.S. happened under his watch. MAGA Inc. hit on both items in its press release after news of the Walz pick broke.
Another presumed liability for Walz’s VP chances early on had been his role as a co-chair of the Democratic National Convention rules committee — a job that, in the chaotic days after Biden dropped out of the race, led him to help Harris quickly become the party’s presumptive nominee.
America is laughing at 3% Harris picking this clown from Minnesota, that spinning sound you hear in the background is Hubert Humphrey in his grave.

Come on, man. He's really under your skin.
Raised corporate tax rates, gave back to the poor and working class, and business climate improved. Trickle up, works. Cope.
Republicans are triggered.
That's how we know TW will be fine.
Dems win= Mericans win.

Ignorant dumb asses like Menace don't get under my skin.
What's interesting, however, is Menace lies and shows complete ignorance on issues and none of you liberals will call him out on it. Why is that? It's very cult like behavior.
This echo chamber is interesting, to say the least.
Now that I think about it, I'm gonna need to know what his opinion is on the Cooper DeJean call. That may determine how I vote.
Any teacher that has supervised the lunchroom will love that comment!
Only for Jews.
Really though, there still seems to be worry that a Jewish candidate is too big of a risk for something like VP. I think we're past that and it may even help
American Experiment is a conservative think tank. They are taking very specific timeframes and extrapolating a whole article about fleeing from it. Like saying "From mid-2021 to mid-2022, 19,400 Minnesota residents left for other states, by far the highest number in at least three decades." Minnesota's population actually grew in 2022 and grew more in 2023. The overall data does not back that up. Minnesota's population has been growing and is projected to grow in the future, moreso than similar midwestern states like Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois. https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/resear...lags-long-term-trends?pop_map_data_picker=ltg
It's not that he's Jewish, it's that he compared people protesting the ongoing ethnic cleansing and destruction in Gaza to the KKK. Least of his baggage electorally. He's no friend to public schools which should be disqualifying for a Democrat. He also does a seemingly very intentional Obama impression (kinda like Mayor Pete) which rubs people the wrong way once they see it. The main reason he was in consideration was to help win PA.
He appears competent....this will not stand!
Really, though, I would have preferred Shapiro as a big F U to the far left morons in the Dem party. It would have been gold watching the Magats and the far left Dems twist themselves up in knots trying to hate on him.

He just won every teachers vote. Seems really down to earth/reality compared to most politicians
Weird.

Hate on him for calling people "KKK" for being opposed to ethnic cleansing and total destruction of Gaza? Who has to twist themselves up into knots criticizing that? How about his right wing ideas for education policy that have basically been proven a failure where they've been tried? You don't find the Obama impersonation he and Pete Buttigieg do to be a bit pandering and off-putting? The only reason he was in consideration was that he's a swing state governor (oh and that he's a white guy and this VP pick was always going to be a DEI hire)
Many trans boys still have periods. So weird.Weird.

You're right. But that is not what the voices on the right were calling for when it was happening.
Well, he burned through a roughly $16 B surplus with nothing to show for it and continues to raise taxes. Should fit in nicely at the federal level. There is a reason why the state is increasingly being called Minnefornia.
