You'd think people would learn to not underestimate Trump by now. I could see either side getting 300+ EC votes.
It's funny. Every family house of relatives we visited while in Ireland has a picture of pope John Paul. A picture of JFK and a cabinet full of Waterford and Beliek crystal and china.
Will you be joining the "Czech's Will Not Replace Us" rally in Dublin? We're going to chant whole chapters of Joyce, burn some copies of Metamorphosis, and hang an effigy of Vaclav Havel. It's going to be awesome.
Hindsight is still cloudy sometimes. 1/3 chance it will come down to PA. Shapiro gives a slight edge in PA, while Walz provides more pathways to victory if PA doesn't go to Harris. Walz does help with PA (at worst, he's a slight positive) and the insurance policy isn't a bad move.
people are tired of the hate, negativity, and culture war garbage republicans offer nothing of substance to the American people these losers are now boycotting the Olympics…they focus on the most useless sh*t
The more I read about Waltz the more I like him and relate to him. He's walked the walk, and isn't some fraud just pretending to understand blue collar workers, farmers, and the middle class. He's a genuinely good guy, who has my respect. I was also raised by parents who grew up on farms in rural Nebraska. My parents instilled those honest hard working values in me. I learned the meaning of respect, working hard, and honesty from them. I could always count on their love and support. Like Waltz, I too served my country for over two decades and spent some years as a teacher. Tim Waltz is the perfect representative for the hard working middle class Americans. He was raised on those values, and knows best what it means to work hard, and stay true to your beliefs. “He grew up in a small town in Nebraska, spending summers working on his family’s farm,” posted Harris. “His father died of cancer when he was 19, and his family relied on Social Security survivor benefit checks to make ends meet. At 17, he enlisted in the National Guard, serving for 24 years. He used his GI Bill benefits to go to college, and become a teacher. He served as both the football coach and the advisor of the Gay-Straight Alliance.” Walz was born in West Point, Nebraska, a town of roughly 3,500 people approximately 60 miles northwest of Omaha. His family lived in several small towns across the state including Butte, Nebraska, which has a population of less than 300 people, where Walz attended high school. The Governor says he spent his summers working on a farm. Last year, Walz revisited his family’s farm. “Visited the family farm in Butte, Nebraska, saw some old high school buddies, and stopped by Pancake Days. All in all, a top-notch weekend,” he posted on X. While serving in the House of Representatives, Walz was a member of the House Agriculture Committee from 2007 until he became Governor in 2019. During this time, Walz was involved in drafting and passing the 2008, 2014, and 2018 farm bills. As Governor, Walz has launched several new initiatives for farmers such as a new assistance program to help new and young farmers get started on owning a farm. This program will provide tax credits to those who rent or sell farmland, equipment, livestock, and other agricultural assets to new farmers; financial planning services to new farmers; and down payment assistance grants up to $15,000 for qualified farmers purchasing their first farm. “Minnesota is built on agriculture. We rely on our farmers to feed our families and drive the economy and it is vital that we support our farmers and create opportunities for new folks to enter the occupation, especially amid difficult times,” said Walz in July 2024. “I am grateful for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for their work ensuring that new farmers and rural communities can thrive.” His Parents Walz is the son of Darlene Rose and James F. Walz. His father was a public school administrator, and his mother was a community activist. He said his parents taught him the values of hard work and community service. His Wife Gwen Walz was born in Glencoe, Minnesota, and grew up in the western part of the state. Alongside her three sisters, Gwen was raised by her parents, Val and Linn, who were educators and small business owners. She has received degrees from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter and Minnesota State University in Mankato. Gwen began her English teaching career in western Nebraska, where she met Tim Walz and married in 1994. Their Children The Walz’s have two children together: Hope and Gus. In March, Walz shared his family’s struggle to conceive and the IVF journey that brought them their daughter. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...te-minnesota-gov-tim-walz-family/74644874007/ https://www.fastcompany.com/91168539/tim-walzs-first-job-was-working-on-a-farm
We keep on hearing about how Mexicans are taking Black jobs but no one will talk about White on White job taking.
I don't see it. Is Walz going to have more pull in Georgia or NC or something? What's your math to win without PA? Especially with Walz playing a role in it?
This is genuine. Hope people wake up and vote. This is what this election is about, getting people motivated to vote and not let them stay home. Trump is only winning this if people elect to stay home. This is the only reason he was up in the polls, because people were so not motivated by Joe due to his age.
