    Getting ready for some lib from another instance to come here to talk about how bad Trump is and not even try to address that a Harris/Walz presidency won’t be any different than the Biden/Harris presidency has been on the Palestinian genocidecountdown

    lmao in the video when asked about his lying about “carrying weapons in war” he goes on this weird whole tangent that has nothing to do with what was asked then finishes up like he answered the question hoping they’ll just move on, and the “… bu–but yeah but the thing about you not being deployed tho?” was such great comedic timing.

    He did that in the debate too, where he gets asked about a lie and does this ‘aw shucks’ attitude as if he is doing a mea culpa that he misspoke or got something wrong, but spends a minute and a half dancing around incoherently and not explaining at all what happened and then smiles and nods and goes “yeah so that’s what happened” when he straight didn’t say what happened. it’s so bizarre. He also lied about his rank? Very trump-like move lol. I think he’s legitimately a pathological liar.

      It’s like he understands the concept of deflection and misdirection as a politician, but has never actually tried to do it before.

    Once again reminding everyone that Politico was bought by Axel Springer three years ago, a German right-wing tabloid company that has support for the USA and Israel as its stated core values. Even if they have nominal editorial independence, they know what their employer wants to hear.

    It’s very clear that Walz was picked at the very last moment when they really wanted Josh Shapiro (even held the announcement in PA). Now they’re stuck with someone who made even JD fucking Vance look halfway competent. Thankfully nobody votes based on VP pick, so it’s not a huge problem for the Democrats.

      They are referring to his recent comment in the debate where he stated “the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there”
