Making his debut as a vice presidential candidate on Tuesday, Tim Walz staked his claim to Middle American values and argued that former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are “weird” and “creepy as hell.”
Walz, the governor of Minnesota, also got the packed arena laughing with a reference to a meme about Vance having relations with a couch.
“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
…
“In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make, even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves,” he said. “There’s a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.”
Whats happening. The dems are bantering. This isn’t how this works, they’re supposed to roll over and disappoint us. They know that. That’s been their entire strategy. Is this what optimism feels like?
They’ve been doing so unbelievably well…I can almost hear the other shoe whistling as it falls through the air. When the Dems fuck this one up it’s gonna hurt.

remembers 2008
Yeah, it will
How did Democrats fuck up 2008?
They didn’t. They got a super majority and passed the most comprehensive healthcare bill in history. And pulled the economy out of the biggest recession since the Great Depression. And approved Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor who created a 5/4 Democratic slant to the Supreme Court, allowing gay marriage to be legalized.
And then in 2011 Osama Bin Laden was killed in his home in front of his grandchildren. All that sounds successful to me.
I wouldn’t say killing someone in front of their grandkids a success, but the death of Osama bin laden is indeed a good thing, just wish less grandchildren were involved
Fewer?
Fewer includes none, so yeah
They wasted their supermajority by passing a right wing healthcare bill.
Instead of ending the wars as promised, they did a troop surge.
They bailed out wall street while doing little to help working americans.
Democrats are more for the people than Republicans but they’re still not great.
The ACA is miles better than what we had before and the supermajority was supermajority in name only.
Yeah there’s always an excuse
It still left an unpleasant taste
When Shapiro looked like they might be the VP pick I thought that was done.
I’ve always hated how Dems try to keep decorum and fight with one arm tied behind their back, while Republicans shit sling and fight dirty. I’m glad Dems are finally growing some balls and calling out these idiots with their own attack strategies
And yet, unlike Republicans, they aren’t resorting to dirty tricks and grotesque lies. It’s really nice to see this middle ground where they aren’t just sucking it up but they also aren’t going down to the Republicans’ level.
“when they go low, we kick them in the nuts, respectfully”
I don’t remember Kamala being this way when she was campaigning in 2020. It seems she’s fucking fed up with the GOP’s bullshit like the rest of us.
I don’t think he’s fighting dirty. He’s just being clever and on the attack. Using their own attack strategies would be using racial slurs, political violence, and theocratic-fascist dog whistles. Harris and Waltz are just punking them, and it’s great.
It really highlights how decrepit and often inept the Biden campaign was.
With project 2025, the stakes are higher than the rich getting richer.
But that’s been retconned to have nothing to do with Trump now that it turns out to be so unpopular. Come on, keep up with the reeducation plan. Oceania was at war with Eastasia.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
Lisa needs braces.
Dental plan!
You mean we can do more now than “Pokemon Go…to the polls!”?
It’s about damn time. The difference between Hillary’s meme attempts and Walz’s is crazy. I’m not sure who handled them, whether it was the candidate or a team for each, but Walz’s are so much better it’s insane. Chillin in cedar rapids and Pokemon go were so hard to watch. I know an election like this so much more than that, but get with the times if you rely on a younger voting pool. Walz’s reminds me of Biden VP memes to a certain extent. Maybe more timeless and less fad based. Not sure but seems much more genuine this time.

He is a sassy bitch and i love it. This is how you handle these freaks.
He’s a former teacher. Checks out.
As a professional freak, we don’t want em
Freak works the same as weird. If you accept the label, you’re the good kind.
What’s the opposite of “gooble gobble”?
Hawk Tuah?
Hate the sassy bitch thing, but let’s fucking GO!

Oh this is sofa king funny
It’s been su-chez long time since I’ve giggled this much over a political soundbite
I didn’t expect such sex-shunal talk from Walz.
Also didn’t expect creepy Vance to chaise them state to state
Same, I heard this quote and was like, imagine if Biden didn’t withdraw and we didn’t get this. In truth I think a lot of people have been waiting a long time to hear people in power to speak plainly and directly about how strange these conservatives are.
the first thing that came to my mind too
GOP’s collective brain cell might implode over whether to be sad that walz is savagely roasting their guy, or wtf to even do, because they hate vance too
JD reminds me of a dumber Eric Trump if that is even possible.
You mean like Donnie Jr?
Eric might LOOK more dumb, but Junior is definitely the biggest idiot of the two…
None of those road apples fell far from the sphincter, as it were.
JR didn’t fall, he was stuck there and had to be wiped off
When I first saw the ticket together, I thought Vance was chosen because they were able to convince Donald Trump that Vance was one of his kids after all. Trump did get around back in the day, maybe JD’s mom was a Miss America contestant or something.
But it’s also likely that Trump’s brain is mush, and he is convinced Vance is Eric Trump with a beard.
I think that Vance got chosen because it’d be the fewest letters you’d have to change on your Trump pence 2020 flag
PEVANCENo joke, I think Trump thinks single-syllable names are more powerful, and ruled out anyone with more than one syllable in their name.
That and Nikki Haley is an Indian woman. That would be awkward considering how Trump talks about Harris.
Alternate theory: he won’t run with anyone who has more letters in their name than him, because their name would take up more room on the signage.
I completely lost it when he said that. 😂
I released several dying bird noises. It was lovely.
Exhaled somewhat more forcefully that usual
Hearing an entire stadium lose it was genuinely entertaining.
JD Vance: “This is an immature lie. We would never target the sexuality of other people in such a demeaning fashion. I am a Christian man, and I have only had reproductive sex with my Indian wife, who may not look like a proper American but that is not a problem because she is, believe me. The lie needs to stop, we would never lie.”
(God I hope this happens. I really do)
Vance 100% likes it up the ass
Nothing wrong with ass play. But there is something wrong with a man attempting to shove an unlubricated sofa cushion up his own rectum, that’s where I draw the line.
What about a lubricated sofa cushion?
I’m all for it
I think Tim Walz would say that’s none of his business, and JD Vance would want to make it a crime while he continues to do it in private.
It might be a trauma surgeon’s business, though.
Homosexuality as an insult :l
The homosexuality isn’t the insult. The hypocrisy of preaching against it and trying to make it illegal while 100% loving something hard up his ass, is the insult.
Look at this doughy little manbaby and tell me he’s never taken it.
I bet the only reason Trumped pick him is because his tiny little face makes Trumps tiny little hands look big.
What’s the matter with that? If all parties consent, have at it.
I think they meant “It” from Stephen King’s bestselling novel of the same name. They just forgot the correct capitalization.
“Vance 100% likes It up the ass.”
And that, to me, is a bit weird… but I’m not here to judge. Probably should have used “Pennywise” to prevent any confusion.
They all float!
Nothing, just pointing out he’s a hypocrite.
No argument with that here.
Don’t knock it till you try it
I’m a submissive bottom. I love me a dominant man. I wasn’t insulting Vance, just making an observation… and pointing out he’s a hypocrite.
I loved watching this speech not only for Walz, but also for Kamala’s proud face and reactions. She knows she made the best possible choice, and her happiness was palapable.
OMG, this is so GD funny.
Someone please make sure JD knows that Walz said “get off the couch” and not “get the couch off”.
Feel the burn.
I’m thinking this is going to cause friction on the GOP side.
“Apologies, I misspoke. If he’s willing to get off on the couch.”
Have to admit this is quite funny.
