I'm watching all these videos of Governor Walz on Instagram and I'm cracking up. 🤣 He's such a Minnesotan. You betcha!! He has his own turkey taco hotdish. We love our hotdishes. Ketchup is spicy for Minnesotans. When storms are coming, it's the cooler and lawn chairs in the driveway. We're ready. 😂 This is going to be great!!

Lisa, I agree that it is so much fun. I think you are going to love this link too. https://timwalzfixedyourbicycle.com/

You need to refresh after each time, because I have not seen all of the sayings, but I love each and every one. One of my favorites is "Tim Walz isn't afraid to ask the clerk which aisle the tampons are on." Harris and Walz have reclaimed normalcy for the Dems, and pushed the Weird label back onto the MAGAs where it belongs, and who are now a distinct part of the Republican Party, different from the Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT) and Republicans for Harris! I have seen one group making videos about how they won't vote for Trump, and heard the other group (and there may be overlap) had one of those fundraising Zoom meetings.

I watched Walz while he was asking for help for the audience member. He never took his eyes off the guy, didn't care about the momentum of his speech being interrupted, was intently focused on the welfare of an individual in trouble, which is how I imagine a coach and military leader would behave. He is, in a word, a mensch. The other guy is a mess, but may have a future doing eye makeup tutorials.

Linda Weide's avatar

I noticed that too, and I viewed it as the real normal people, and that our kids cannot even grow up learning what normal is when the MAGAs have been trying to tell us that their crazy is normal. This morning I read that Juvenile Delinquent Vance, had written the forward to a book by Kevin Roberts called, Dawn's Early Light, that is now having its publication delayed until after the election. However Media Matters had a galley copy, they tell us, "A review found Roberts rails against birth control, in vitro fertilization, abortion, and dog parks. He says that having children should not be considered an 'optional individual choice' but 'a social expectation or a transcendent gift,' and describes 'contraceptive technologies' as 'revolutionary inventions that shape American culture away from abundance, marriage, and family.' He labels reproductive choice methods as a “snake strangling the American family.'”

https://www.mediamatters.org/kevin-roberts/delayed-publication-heritage-presidents-book-reflects-project-2025-shell-game?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

That is why Walz labels them weird. Weird is the nice guy way of saying CRAZY!

Just to add to that. In the first part of Project 2025 titled White House Office, the writer, who is clearly planning on being the Secretary of State, and has pretty much set things up so that the SOS runs the entire presidency. That includes mentioning that there will be the auto Pen signatures. I noticed that right away, and could see Trump, on the golf course while Kevin Robert's henchmen places all over the White House and government autopen a list of executive orders to totally change our government. While P2025 is poorly written, and filled with whiney lies about Biden, it is a document that if you let yourself imagine what will actually happen if this is carried out, you see how they plan on turning the USA into one of Trump's favorite terms, a banana republic. Only, I don't think we are known for growing bananas so we will have nothing. Fortunately, I think like me most people are going to prefer normal to crazy and our kids can grow up recognizing the difference too.

Walz is a Mensch! When I was growing up that was normal behavior, and it still is now. I teach that to my students although most of them are naturally empathetic. They are still young enough. It can get lost if they see too many ugly role models like Trump, and Juvie Vance. In fact, weird is a nice guy word for CRAZY!

Watching the Detroit rally, there were calls for water or a medic 3 times that I saw & I couldn't help but think it was scripted. I sat with that a long time, the fact that, of course, speeches are scripted, & am I ok with theater? And, yeah, either way, I think I absolutely am. The message was that we care, in contrast to examples from a Trump rally. I believe that is authentic, action aligning with claims. It's a healthy use of optics. Real caring is a brand I can get behind & I believe the message to be true, giving of ourselves & respecting each other we all rise.

I'm going solely by the clip of Walz, and as a former professional actor, acting teacher, and student of performance, I would bet money that was not theater and no one was acting. The Harris/Walz campaign has natural empathy going for it. They don't need to manufacture it.

I agree. It is summer and hot. In contrast to governors in much hotter states making it illegal to keep people who work out in the heat from dying by allowing them some basic things like water and cooling off breaks (not helped by their absolute refusal to credit science with any validity), these people are normal, caring people. What our children should have as role models. No one on planet earth can think Trump is a role model for someone's children.

I respect your take. I am sorting out a lot of personal feelings around trust & it’s wild to see so much playing out in a very large arena.

It feels wonderful to be in such good company. Thank you!

Fwiw, he's not wearing eyeliner.

1. When a person has thick, dark eyelashes, the roots are so close together that they give the illusion of being connected -- the illusion of eyeliner. (Google for pics of the actor Nestor Carbonell.) And, jd's thick, dark beard and thick, dark hair argue for thick, dark lashes.

2. If he were wearing eyeliner, it would have smudged (from sweat under the eyes) in this heat.

3. Given his fierce hatred of and disdain for women, there's no way that he'd wear eyeliner, which is considered a feminine grooming item.

4. The MAGA base would howl with outrage if he were wearing eyeliner (there's no way that such a fact would remain hidden).

1. If it looks like eyeliner, waddles like eyeliner and quacks like eyeliner, it's eyeliner.

2. Nobody cares if it's true or not. He's a loathsome douchebag who deserves every bit of derision he gets.

And there's the one with Roy Scheider in the famous Jaws meme saying "we're gonna need a bigger couch!"

I hope Orange Stain keeps shitting his bed and has to lie in it. Good luck to his “keepers” trying to change it but it won’t work since he shits non-stop. Thiel and Muskrat did not get their money’s worth with Jake Dickface and isn’t that just too fucking (the couch) bad

Vance is an entitled bully. You can see it in the way he conducts himself and the choices/words he says. This is just a tarmac stalking of Kamala, just like Trump did with Hillary at the debate. He looked like an idiot and the SS needs to put a stop to this. I'm sure Harris will put him in his place if he continues this behavior. Most of us women can identify with that kind of male bullying behavior either in a professional and/or personal setting. We don't like it. His fellow Ohioans are watching this election too and he will have a Senate race to contend with in a few years. Watching him tells me all I need to know about the Vance marriage and his wife's role in it. The fact she is educated doesn't change the dynamics of living with an emotionally, possibly physically abusive man.

I would need to research this but like Ex UK PM Rishi Sunak and wife, I suggest she inhabits the Brahmin caste within Hinduism and may have familial connections with the present ethno nationalist Hindu leader of India, Modi. If so, her support of her husband’s public entitled behaviour is no surprise.

She is from the Teluga Brahmin Caste. She's a Hindu. Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019--WTF is that all about?

Thank you for this information. The historical links between high caste Hinduism and Nazism are well documented as are those between Opus Dei extreme Catholic sects and Nazism. They share a religious belief that some individuals are innately superior. It makes them natural political MAGA/Trump allies.🐈‍⬛

I think his wife is just as shamelessly opportunistic as he is.

YES. They've been together since at least 2011 (they met at Yale Law). There's ***no way*** that someone stays with a man that toxic unless they're equally damaged.

She strikes me as being very similar to John Roberts in this way: so calm and genial, and seemingly so reasonable (on the surface) that you never suspect the massive dysfunction underneath.

It's unusual for someone running for office to NOT be campaigning with their spouse,is it because of her skin color?? More than likely...

WHO F'ING DOES THAT? To any person, let alone the VP? #ToxicMasculinity at it's. worst. Does J Divan know about #MeToo? Common courtesy? Gathered up a few other entitled white guys striding up to confront a woman. JFC

The psychology of entitled predators means that they experience movements like #Me Too and it’s survivors as triggers that increase their need to sexually bully others.

They possess no self discipline. Post #Me Too is when to watch for those who literally can not help themselves from entitled behaviors therein publicly exposing their criminality.
