The more I see of Walz and hear him speak, the more I like him. He’s relatable to the average person. He’s not pretentious. He wears jeans and t-shirts and eats corn dogs at the state fair. He cooks. He loves his dog and his cat. He does fun things with his kids. And he really cares about people. There is nothing to dislike about this guy. I bet when he was a teacher, he was the kids’ favourite teacher too. Gonna be impossible for the R’s to compete with someone who is really the whole enchilada.

I could not be happier about this ticket. Both Harris and Walz represents two sides of the same progressive coin: a woman of color from the city, and a white guy from the country. And both have very progressive records that are focused on taking care of THE PEOPLE, not giving corporations massive tax breaks and giveaways. Nothing could be more perfect!

Imagine wearing this "Kamala removes stubborn orange stains" t-shirt in front of MAGAs 🤣 👇

The more joy Harris/Walz spreads the more doom and gloom Trump will spew!

We’re NOT going back.

Huh... what an odd feeling. I'm starting to think of this election in terms of voting 𝘧𝘰𝘳 a ticket, instead of voting 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 the other one. First time for everything, I guess!

I voted *FOR* Biden/Harris. I voted *FOR* Obama/Biden.

Penny Briscoe's avatar

What is the reason behind all this bullshitery??? Lizard people? Goblin overlords? I feel dumber from just hearing this. OMFG!!! 🤦‍♀️🤣🙄

ericc's avatar

What's behind this bullshittery is they realized they can't say "women and blacks and jews" any more. So they say lizards and goblins and their followers know what they mean.

Straw's avatar

Never thought about it like that, but it kind of makes sense.

Thank you for the laugh I was in desperate need of today. Much obliged!

Yep...now I understand why some nutjob 3 years ago told my hubs and children Biden was a lizard overlord...uggg

Edward Bryant's avatar

Kinda wish Biden had been a lizard overlord... that would have been cool and maybe he could have eaten whole some of the odious filth the Repubs elected to congress. If it was televised, he would still be the Democrat's candidate for president!

Straw's avatar

That would be something to see. 🤭

Dane B. McFadhen's avatar

Hemant really needs to include a laughing (with tears) emoji on his site. Your reply Penny... ha. Perfect. (place laughing emoji here)

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Obviously the guy who actually looks like a lizardman, is on heavy hallucinogens like Hunter S. Thompson "I'm in a room with beaked lizards" dosage level.

I am an aging cynic, and as soon as my brain begins to hurt, I change the channel to something more pleasant. I have regular interactions with people who, at first blush, seem to be a little "off." As a result of my sensitivity, I had to cut off Tangerine Palpatine at about the three minute mark. Good idea, because that "speech" went on for over an hour!

Daniel Rotter's avatar

Basic self-awareness 101: right after calling somebody "weird," don't utter the words "people that fit in right with the wicked overlord lizard mafia that is really driven by their goblin masters."

Matri's avatar

You do realize the right don’t have self-awareness?

Everything I hear about Walz makes me like him even more, everything the right complains about him are things that make him look good. From their supposed insult of Tampon Tim, to this unhinged nonsense, it is clear he makes them nervous. He coined the weird observation that bothers them so much and their response is “I know you are, but what am I?” Playground politics. It bothers them because they truly believe they are the norm, the standard of human superiority, and being called weird by so many is breaking through their bubble.

And I have to mention the meme I saw yesterday of a collage of Christmas card photos of different politicians and one was not like the other. It had the GOP politician families (mtg Boebert and the like) all holding guns and Walz’s family holding the pets and smiling super giant sincerely happy smiles. Tell me again that it Walz that’s weird.

Troublesh00ter's avatar

The rubber will meet the road when Walz debates Vance, and people get to see who knows what and who has the experience and the humanity and the willingness to HELP.

And that ain't Vance.

cdbunch's avatar

But he wants to help lazy people, 'those' people. And he wants to do it by taking money from hard-working billionaires who deserve to make more in a hour than ten middle-class people make in their lifetimes. American suburbs are full of temporarily embarrassed billionaires.

Straw's avatar

The tax system makes me sick and I want to join a revolution.

pam brown's avatar

Oh he is doing a bang up job...being weird at a donut shop!

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Vance hasn't Clue Number One about ordinary people in this country.

Jane in NC's avatar

No matter how hard those weirdos try, they are NOT going to make Tampon Tim happen. Just....no.

Joan the Dork's avatar

They're sticking him with the label of "responsible Dad who fetches tampons for his daughter, and also for everyone else's" as if that's somehow going to make him look 𝘣𝘢𝘥.

Whitney's avatar

Some years ago when we were first married, my other half let me know he didn't mind buying those commercial feminine products when I needed them. He said to me "Well, it's obvious they aren't for me, and mean I have a woman in my life, right?"

My hubby had a great point. So glad I married him.

pam brown's avatar

Smart move as he clearly was a smart guy!

Jane in NC's avatar

OMG! What a monster! 😜

Straw's avatar

What could possibly be worse than doing nice things for your folks?

pam brown's avatar

Just makes him more awesome

oraxx's avatar

This actually makes about as much sense as everything else coming from the evangelicals. Donald Trump, of course, gets a pass with them in spite of being the most grotesquely immoral President in our history. Christians warned of the coming of the anti-Christ for centuries, then when he showed up they voted for him. The BS these people expect others to defer to numbs the mind.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

That's what kills me about it. Their own damn book tells them in great detail what he will be like and somehow they still turn around and vote for him!

Old Man Shadow's avatar

Tim Walz fed hungry children. Donald Trump had children stolen from their parents and put in cages.

Now, I honestly don't think the term Christian means a damn thing anymore, if it ever did... but I know a good person from a monster, and the monsters are against feeding hungry children.

Straw's avatar

I believe I just fell in love with you.

Goblin King, Goblin King! Take these batshit Xtians far away from me!

No, you have to say it seven times ... in front of a mirror. Then stand back because "It's showtime!"

Oh, darn! And here I was hoping Michael Keaton would show up! 😁

That requires quoting Johhny Dangerously. Once.

Don't you have to hold a candle or something too?

Elena Christian's avatar

"'I wish the Goblin King would come and take these batshit Xtians away', How hard is that?"

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Not horribly hard! 😁

Anri's avatar

"Did she say it?"

"Shhh!"

Joe King's avatar

This smacks of desperation. They've got nothing, so they're throwing out the batshit to get the crazies to come out and vote. They know that's all that's left of their base.

Val Uptuous NotAgain's avatar

They clearly have nothing since this is their very first line of attack on him. They can’t go after his policies, the Harris/Walz campaign is effectively using his and her policies against them and it is not smart to argue against feeding school children. Their only other attack has been the BLM protest that was turned violent (by right wing plants, evidence shows) but they don’t want to harp too much on that because then everyone would be exposed to the reality that it was rightwing plants causing the carnage.

larry parker's avatar

My plants are politically neutral. They sit back and soak in the sun and release oxygen that anyone can use. I do have a tree that leans left, but I installed a stake and guide wires to straighten it up. : )

Val Uptuous NotAgain's avatar

Are you sure it leans left? Just walk to the other side and it’s leaning right. You should keep an eye on it.

larry parker's avatar

The wind was blowing left, so...

Thinking about it, since my plants give off oxygen for everyone, they might be socialists.

Straw's avatar

My plants notoriously want grow as I had assumed. But the garlic is fine.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Yet they vote against feeding hungry children constantly, wherever they can.

pam brown's avatar

And so pro life of them... uggg. Clearly they are the disgusting lizards.

Lynn Veit's avatar

What' so disturbing is that there are so MANY crazies.

Val Uptuous NotAgain's avatar

“I have another word for him, being from Minnesota myself, and it’s “weird.” The guy’s just weird. You see the way he hugs his wife. You see the way he does everything.“

It’s weird for men to hug their wives? No wonder incels and the alpha bros are so popular, they’ve been told Christians aren’t supposed to show affection in appropriate ways. What an idiotic statement.

Joan the Dork's avatar

They're just not used to people they try to hug looking so happy about it.

Straw's avatar

I nearly laughed on myself now.

maddog7's avatar

incels are the absolutely, most laughable, weirds of all *. They have no understanding of the irony and sadness of their conundrum. I trusts I do nots needs to explains LoL

*Imagine that your life is such a tragedy that being able to proudly say that you are an incel is a badge-of-honor

Straw's avatar

Exactly. My husband would not still have been married to me if that was too hard for him.

Patricia Kayden's avatar

Who is the audience for this weirdness? How does this expand Trump’s base? I don’t get the point of these baseless, ridiculous claims.

Matri's avatar

They literally have nothing legitimate they could use against him.

So the Reichwing do what it does best: Make Shit Up.

Maltnothops's avatar

I used to wonder that too. But I finally decided that there must be a market for it or it would cease to exist. 330ish million people means there are some truly weird sub-sub-subgroups.

maddog7's avatar

another stupid rabbit-hole [sheeesh]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilian_conspiracy_theory

- "The idea of reptilians was popularised by David Icke, an anti-semitic conspiracy theorist"

- "Icke's conspiracy theories now have supporters in up to 47 countries and he has given lectures to crowds of up to 6,000 people."

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

I should have known it was a so-called "christian" smear against Jewish people.

Lynn Veit's avatar

That is not a good thing. That many stupid people in so many countries....

Are they really that stupid, though, or are we talking about people who should probably be getting help and taking meds?

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

I blame Reagan, the people that far out of whack used to be able to get help.

Lynn Veit's avatar

Yep, Totally agree on that.

maddog7's avatar

kinda like a cancer in those 47 countries

SPW's avatar

Somehow the name Icke must have something to do with the reptilian thing.

Jarred Harris's avatar

I think it's important to note that "lizard people" and "goblins" are both deeply rooted in antisemitic tropes. I suspect that Joseph Z's invocation of them is not accidental.

Matri's avatar

He’s a “Christian” “prophet”.

It’s a given.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Ah, scum scammers for the J-dude.

pam brown's avatar

I did not kknow this!

Hank Long's avatar

"Tackling topics that mainstream media does not.” Yup. Pretty much describes anyone who believes in the existence of a "wicked overlord lizard mafia." I laughed so hard that the scales on my six-foot green tail were shaking! Newt, my dragon consigliere, thought it so funny that he inadvertently coughed up a half-eaten frog from breakfast. What a croc, these good fellas are!

Penny Briscoe's avatar

My dog and cat have been deep in discussions since I read this article to them. So far no lizard mafia, but we'll keep an eye out, the dog and cat are in agreement. Lol 🤣 🤣 🤣

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

See ?! SEE ?! That's the proof they are lizards plants who spy on you and not actual cats and dogs !

Penny Briscoe's avatar

The cat and dog are pretty damn nosy. My Apt is small I think I would have noticed lizard folk and goblin overlords. Lol 😂

"Joseph Z"

Weirdest. Rapper. Name. Ever.

Bagen Onuts's avatar

If you’re wondering why a felon is allowed to run for our highest office, it’s because we never expected a party to be stupid enough to nominate one.

Daniel Rotter's avatar

And the Trump campaign is, incredibly, without a shred of self-awareness in the world, criticizing Walz for restoring the right to vote of convicted felons!

Hannah Bee's avatar

Governor Tim Walz reminds me of President Biden. He signed into law in Minnesota free menstruation products for students. Good enough for Kamala so he is more than good enough for me. I've been known to be a little lizard--like at times. Bring it on Republicans! This lizard lady can take it! 🦎

xenubarb's avatar

I caught one of our lizard overlords in our bathroom yesterday, and made him go outside.

Hannah Bee's avatar

Lizard over-lords in the bathroom? Happens. Just as long as they clean up after.

they watch you everywhere

Lynn Veit's avatar

I am the eye in the sky, looking at you....I can read your mind.

I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools I can cheat you blind. Says the Lizard Mafia overlord and Alan Parsons who just might be one and the same. 🦎

I have two that wandered in from outside, they live in the kitchen.
