It's Walz.

This tag line doesn't even make sense. He never claimed he "went" to Afghanistan. He clearly says his unti served in support of OEF. What am I missing?
Walz reenlisted after 9-11. If he was somehow "afraid" of combat, he could just as easily have not reupped.
Based on some of his comments while in Congress I think his issue was more with Bush's decision to invade Iraq (and call up NG units) instead of Afghanistan where AlQueda and the Taliban, and the men responsible for 9-11 were all hiding...And many Americans felt the exact same way, wondering why we decided to invade Iraq, and bypass Osama...
Again all of this boils down to a partisan divide. The attacks on Walz are not winning MAGA any new voters. It gets people who were already going to vote for Trump amped up. But it also alienates the same amount if not more of voters who find it despicable to hear Vance (and Corporal Bone spurs behind the scene) criticize a veteran. Like Jesse Ventura, who in addition to being a 1 time pro wrestler and a former Gov of Minnesota is also a Navy Seal...

Glad to see Jesse hit the points that, not being military dude and so I don't know common protocols, that I've had questions about.
1. The National Guard are not known for being deployed into a foreign war. Those that enlist in the National Guard are known that they are a domestic guard, not a probability for a foreign conflict.
2. Secondly he served 24 years from aged 17 to 41. Over half of his life was in service in the Guard. So what, he's not supposed to be able to retire after 24 years of service?
Good to know. I can use that mindset to not acknowledge or thank anyone for their 'service' unless they spent more than 25 years in active service. Per this attack logic, if you left before that 25 year time period it's because you are a dishonorable coward that left your brothers.
Which is complete nonsense as every call of service is and should not be a lifetime of commitment. That would impact recruiting significantly if there was no way to retire and leave.
But good to know if you haven't served at least 25 years I can call you out on that and demean you as pathetic now if I wanted to.
Nothing. What he said was true. I deployed in support of OEF too.
And Iraq. Three weeks in Kabul and three weeks in Baghdad in 2011. Trained Afghan and Iraqi officers. Required to carry a loaded weapon (9MM Beretta) at all times except sleeping or working out, but never had to take it out of the holster. There was a missile attack on our FOB in Iraq one night but I slept through it and heard about it the next day. Obviously it didn’t hit close to our barracks. One of our Iraqi students, a one star, was assassinated on his way to the Green Zone for the training day.
So why did he lie about his rank? And talk about carrying his weapon in war? And stand by while others misstated the facts without correcting them? For 17 years? I can hardly wait for your excuses.
This guy is completely off the reservation. Now it appears he has some Pro-Hamas cleric that he totes around with him everywhere. So if you’re keeping score at home.

That’s just your average midwestern dad y’all!
Frankly, from what I’ve seen of this guy, I’m glad Harris is leading the ticket. He seems like a true believer. Decades in public education poisons the mind.
We're essentially running against an AOC/Bernie ticket. Literally no different.
Shapiro isn’t a bottom of ticket dude if you listen to him. If we still have an election in 2028 (see Trump quote to vote this time and won’t need to again wink wink)- Shapiro will be the donkey candidate
Yeah trump can’t even beat that. If it was Shapiro or someone it’d be a landslide against trump. This will be closer but I think Harris wins pretty handily. Trump’s an idiot. Just pray for senate/congress. Gridlock works
AI - Did walz really drink all of that nasty Horse stuff and then go to the hospital? - Please format into a multi cut and past post for The hoosier dot com. OH and make it sound so far left that it has already fell down and dislocated a shoulder.
I believe the retraction they entered was for mistakenly saying he "carried" a weapon in war. The part about him personally carrying a weapon of war is immaterial to the point he was making.It was a 2018 speech when he was running for Governor, and the focus was on gun legislation. He wasn't touting his own record, he could have just as easily said "the weapons our soldiers carry in war". The point was that he was arguing for sensible gun legislation, not that he actually fought in a war.
You guys can continue to knock yourself out but this isn't going anywhere with non-MAGA types. There are just as many veterans outraged by Vance criticizng a fellow veteran as there are vets who are upset he misspoke. As to the CSM rank, my understanding is that he reached that rank but for administrative and payroll purposes he gets the next lowest rank on the pension pay scale.He did not get busted it wasn't an adverse disciplinary action. Just didn't fulfil the requirements to get the pension of a CSM. It's not like he's getting paid more that he's entitled to...
Several of his students have said that they were his inspiration to run for Congress. He had talkd about it for a while, and they say they didn't even know what party he was a member of. They just knew he was interested in running for office because he wanted to make a difference.
He's the only Dem to win in his district in like 70 yrs, and he won 6 staright terms. In fact he's never lost an election, and I'm certain the record will be intact come Nov.
He made a name for himself in Congress as a champion of veteran's causes and was known as someone who was willing to work in a bi-partisan manner. He's imminently qualified to assume the role of POTUS based on his experience in the House and as a 2 term Governor. JD Vance has nothing in his resume to even compare, and I'd be shocked if Coach who has debated far more competent/accomplished politicans than JD Vance, didn't thoroughly school him whenever they debate...
And now we can talk about "man of the people" JD Vance exploiting workers in Appalacia for personal profit...

These are hardcore radical lefties. Will be the dumbest president/vp duo in modern history. Only one man is capable of losing to them. Donald John Trump
It's not surprising that Kevin O'Leary is carrying water for Trump. This is like the third or fourth time he's gone on a cable news show to get in Trump's good graces.
Never happen...
The Democrats showed their true colors by bypassing him... They only like Jews when they're fundraising for the DNC... The Democrats turn a blind eye, and in some cases, actually support people who think Hitler was on to something...
Sounds like Walz was misrepresenting a bit. To be fair, I couldn't tell you what the difference was between the treatments, but this medical newsletter seems to imply there is a difference - particularly as it relates to Walz' charges that the GOP restrictions are also aimed at IVF.
Politically, the distinction matters because IUI doesn’t risk destroying unused embryos that anti-abortion advocates equate to unborn children. So, the Alabama Supreme Court ruling in February that frozen embryos could be considered children under state law, would not have impacted couples or individuals who choose IUI.
In the scheme of political lies, this one is hardly near the top. But, if it continues to get used as a political argument, it is disingenuous and unnecessary given the countless other examples.
He only "minor represents".
20 years from now his resume will state he was President from 2025-2029, then explain the oversight as a "clerical error".
It’s evidentiary. The fact that he felt the need to lie about going through IVF for political points. He’s a sick, sick puppy.
The whole point from the evangelical documented platform is to ultimately eliminate reproductive options and personal decisions for women (see Project 2025), including some options that have helped married couples have families like in Walz case.
His whole message is this is a personal battle for him because they went through fertility issues and needed them to have their children and their family.
In case you haven't noticed, effectively relating to people, particularly in his reasoning for how and why he politically believes in a stance, is a massive part of the political success that he's had so far in his career.
This is no different.
Anyone else surprised he went through fertility issues?
Does that scare you? Are the strong, successful people scaring you, Timmy?
I love it... The party that has never nominated a Jewish person for ANYTHING, is now criticizing the party with more office holders and voters who are Jewish of being anti-semitic? Not to mention far right goofballs like Lucas Gage,Jason Hinkle and Nick Fuentes, just to name a few....
JD Vance doesn't sound like a very Jewish name to me... Am I missing something?

If Walz was groomed by the Chinese on how to relate to people in a normal, non-cringe manner, it looks like 'ol JD could stand to learn a few lessons... JD in a critical purple state, where he needs to impress people. Walz in a deep Red state where he isn't likely to get many votes, but still knows how to relate to folks as a normal human being...
Since this thread is about Walz, thought some may be interested in this behind the scenes revelation of how Walz got his start in politics. Thank you Al Franken for your foresight and willingness to take a chance...
YOU guys abuse and shame disabled person., you use an AR15 to shoot a deer. YOU want all immigrants deported. You only want people, who look like you. You only want white Christian religion, Talk about prayers, It's you guys who need prayer. The Gop is plain evil.
