Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

The joyful Minnesota governor is a valuable spokesperson for Harris whose background and personality can help the Democratic ticket undermine Trump’s efforts to woo America’s men.

Tim Walz’s first official speech on the Democratic ticket displayed all the reasons that Kamala Harris has been lauded for picking the Minnesota governor as her running mate. Personally, I think one outshines all the rest.

Walz’s military background and his work as a high school teacher and football coach, along with his palpable joy and open expressions of compassion for people in need, offer America a vision of what manhood can look like — he’s a “joyful warrior” offering a vision in contrast with what’s being offered by Donald Trump’s bravado-driven campaign.

And he’s clearly willing to challenge Team Trump on that front. He displayed that even before he received the call to join Harris’ campaign, using public appearances to refer to Trump and his allies as “bullies” who are truly weak at heart and by mocking the GOP ticket for “running for He-Man Women Haters Club or something.”

Then tell everyone you didn’t show up and they don’t even drink beer.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 33 points 2 years ago

"I don't even know beer"

*Brett Cavanaugh tears intensify*

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 52 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Hey now, let's be honest. Vance would roofie the bar stool.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

and Trump would just... "your beer? Haven't seen it. There's just MY two glasses of beer here. A great beer, the greatest. My uncle invented beer, Fred Budweiser Trump. Great IQ, very good genes!"

He's probably slip it some stool softener too.

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

Isn't a stool softener just a cushion? Sounds like this stool is becoming more and more like a couch...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

How dare you! Why are you besmirching the fine name of JD Vance by suggesting he would roofie a bar stool.

Couches. He fucks couches. And they’re asking for it by being all sexy.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

It's basically a type of couch

They'd show up late, drink too much too fast, try to order off your tab, ramble about bullshit conspiracy theories and talk over you at every opportunity, act like a sleeze to the waitress and get too handsy. Then they'd want to play pool but refuses to rack, blames the cue or someone in their field of view for their bad shots but does anything to try and distract you, hits the ball off the table multiple times but tries to get constant do-overs, claims every time you hit it's a scratch and quote obscure rules, at least once they try to sneak one of their balls in the pocket when it's your turn, when they lose they just toss their cue onto the pool table or lean it against instead of putting it away, and spends the next 45 minutes constantly saying how they should have won...

I need to hear more about this date.

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That was oddly specific wasn’t it!? 😂

[–] Ilovemyirishtemper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Specific, but somehow also universal? I feel like I've seen this scene play out at least a half dozen times in my life.
