I like this dude more with each article I see. π
You know what?
Did you read this?
I can't wait to hear the "how dare he help someone in medical distress while he's supposed to be campaigning!" screams from the right.
He's robbing our poor, starved healthcare system of revenue that is rightly theirs!
Tim Walz seems like what would have happened if Mr Rogers went into politics.
But with an edge. Mr. Rogers would never call out Republicans for being weird.
Right? Where was this 10 years ago?
This feels like the wholesome Democrat version of the Maga cult.
Tim Walz is the person who actually cares about rural folks that Trump was pretending to be. Of course Walz is known for helping regular middle class folk by primiting green energy, while Trump focused on the coal miners who are small in number who were clinging to a dying pollution causing fossil fuel undustry.
The first dog in Minnesota?! What did they do before that? Everyone out walking their porcupines / large lizards / capybara in the park? What? How did they not import dogs from the next state?!
The first dog in Minnesota?! What did they do before that
Moose, elk, and hockey players. Also a few stray Wisconsinites.
The Wisconsinites are expensive to feed..
Yeah, Minnesota almost ran out of cheese, Vikings fans, and beer!
And some Canadians that were reading their compass wrong.
Damn, Walz feels like the first human being up for office in I donβt know how long. IMO Sanders was pretty real, but he has a lot of institutional weight and history behind him. I thought Fetterman was close, but heβs not who we thought he was going to be. There may have been others I canβt think of off the top of my head, but they just didnβt make an impression.
Iβm sure the press has a lot to do with what we see of Walz, but everything Iβm seeing so far really just makes him seem like βone of usβ. Literally taking care of the average person, having a rescue dog and not some breed ans a statement, etc.
As a Minnesotan I just have to say that I am so fucking happy that you all are giving him this reception. I was woried that when he got this position people would seem him as just some flyover state grandpa nobody cared about.
But you all seem to love him as much as we have here and it really gives me so much hope for this country. Like literally brings a tear to my eye.
My opinion as a german probably doesn't really matter, but this guy as well as Kamala are giving me hope again that the world might not have gone completely mad. Also if this works out for you guys I hope the german party system is paying attention.
i feel like it's obligatory to share this also: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/politics/article/donald-trump-dogs
lots of people don't call themselves "dog people," and some are even afraid of them. but it's a huge red flag and sus as fuck when i find out someone actively hates dogs. or cats. what kind of weird psycho attitude is that?
TBF I'll bet dogs fucking hate him and he's just responding to that. Dogs can usually tell a creepy weirdo.
I'd bet even mosquitoes don't want to be anywhere near him.
Obviously a DEI hire.
You joke, but after the things they've come up with so far to attack Harris and Walz with, I wouldn't even be a little surprised if some Newsmax flunkie said that. Or just criticized Walz for getting a rescue rather than buying an inbred purebred dog from a puppy mill.
I'm seriously waiting for someone at Fox News to mention that it's a black dog. it's inevitable.
Literally every single thing I've learned about Tim Walz has been super uplifting.
Really happy that Minnesota got their first dog.
More people should know about dogs.
785/10. Would pet.
Here's the time that Scout managed to get himself locked inside a room in the governor's mansion and the fire department needed to come rescue him. https://www.today.com/pets/minnesota-governor-dog-locked-bedroom-rcna122484
that picture of the dog π₯°
Aww. Poor Scout. We have to keep our big dog out of the kitchen with a gate so our little dog can eat his food before the big one eats it (he has a hole he can go through), but occasionally we forget we let her into the kitchen. 20 minutes later, we'll see her silently standing by the gate, patiently waiting to be let out.
"Look how horrible this man is! What an awful man!" - GOP
For the love of god, nobody tell Kristi Noem. She gets a bit trigger happy around loveable, innocent creatures.
I read that as the first dog ever in Minnesota and was very confused until I recognized the name
You mean to tell me Minnisodans haven't had dogs before? I don't fuckin' believe ye!
