Kamala Harris's choice of Tim Walz as VP

Unless you want a serious answer to that question, I would advise you to stay away from Xitter. Most of those people can’t stand him.

For the sole reason that he’s a Democrat. Theres no real reason not to like him.
Yes, I should avoid X.

My twitter feed loves him.

The people I follow do, too. But reading the general feed, the MAGA crowd loathes him. For no good reason, except that he seems to be unassailable.

Well, he only placed third in the 1998 All-Lutheran Three-Legged Sack Race, not second like his biographer claims.

It’s a scandal.

His own brother?

Who’s clearly a MAGA, and has been estranged from Tim for eight years. The “stories” he could reveal include such horrors as that as a little kid Tim got carsick on vacation trips. Clearly disqualifying for high office!

Oh! New way to villainize Walz:
I can’t find the specific tweet now, but he’s now being accused of being a closeted gay man.

Probably because he’s been an ally and advocate of LGBTQ+ people for many years, so it’s the schoolyard taunt of, “If you love them so much you must be one.”

The accusation makes no sense because if anyone would feel comfortable in admitting he was gay, and would likely face no consequences for doing so, it would be Tim Walz.

How is it even an attack? Being gay in 2024 isn’t the stigmatizing thing it used to be, thanks in part to people like Walz.

Hey, I don’t make the news…I just report it.

No, I didn’t think you were, I’m just pointing out the absurdity of this as a tactic from the people who are trying to employ it.

Perhaps a deflection from the closeted gay man rumors attached to Vance.

So that first article is interesting. Vance says that when he was 8 or 9 he thought he might be gay because he liked his best friend Billy and disliked girls. So his Meemaw asked him if he wanted to suck dicks.

Check that again, his grandmother’s way of proving to him he wasn’t gay was to ask him if he wanted to suck dicks at 9 years old.

Maybe a nine year old isn’t quite ready to answer that question?

I also just found out that billionaire Peter Thiel is gay. Given how much Thiel has supported Vance’s career despite Vance’s repeated lackluster performance as an employee, one might begin to wonder why Thiel is so enthusiastic.

So much to ponder.

According this [this tweet](https://i mgur.com/a/v HqKb mv), Tim Walz is a dog raping freak.

I’ve asked for clarification, and preferably a cite. I’ll report back when that’s provided.

I don’t know that we really need to give attention to stuff like that.

Fair point, though I was just trying to illustrate how low they have to go to find something to criticize. If the mods feel I overstepped, I have no issue with a broken link or hidden/deleted post.

Moderating:

I’m going to break the link. We don’t link to feed the trolls.

Fair enough.

The latest scandal (or “scandal”?) is about COVID funding. I don’t know from this if there’s any “ there there” or if it’s another attempt to gun up a controversy.

From that article it sounds like the GOP are attempting to blame Walz and his administration for a crime that Walz and his administration actively caught, investigated and stopped.

GOP Bizarro World strikes again.
