Appearing at a campaign event in Madison, WI, with Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate for vice president shared this characterization of Musk’s campaign event athleticism. As seen in the clip below, it doesn’t end there, though, as Tim Walz explains his view of exactly what that $1 million daily voter sweepstakes is buying the MyPillow of government contractors.

    Man I hope Walz and Kamala win in a few weeks, because I really want to be able to listen to this guy call out bullshit for 8 years.

    Tim Walz said it so much better than this snippet suggests. Please listen to the short clip, that man is fire 👍

    I believe that dipshit is the best insult. If you call someone a bitch or asshole, it’s like a badge of honor, but dipshit r is kind of emasculating and really captures the whiny middle schooler inside while also sounding like just a silly word.

            Yeah, no. The broad American public wouldn’t like that. Right or wrong, lots of people hate that word even when directed at someone who is being one.

            Some people get weirdly super pissed when you use that word. I have no idea why. I have seen multiple people freak the fuck out randomly whenever it’s been mentioned out loud. They won’t care about other cursewords, only “cunt” specifically, it’s very strange.

              It baffled me for a while until I realized that some people take it as a reduction of them to that body part. Like “the only useful part of you is your cunt/dick”.

              I always saw it as more of a metaphor, dicks fuck things up, assholes make things shitty, cunts are fucked (and each of those are metaphors since I don’t think there’s anything wrong with literally fucking or being fucked as long as everyone involved is good with it).

              Though I still don’t understand why people give others the kind of power over them where they can upset them with their choice of words, before the meaning of their message even comes into play.

    Where has Tim Walz been all my political life. Fuck’s sake, it’s a low bar, but having a Dem on the national stage who isn’t afraid to get a little rough with these dipshits is immensely satisfying after some two decades of “W-we c-can’t say anything m-mean about the fascists…”

      I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.

      We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.

      Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.

        Good luck to you and your compatriots. It hasn’t done much in the United States. Trump has been steadily gaining for over a month and now Kamala is sliding, so I’m not sure if calling them weird dipshits does much, but it does feel good.

        Dutton literally went in ads recently to help them sell Dodge Rams… which is a car nobody wants here

        And the libs aren’t even the worst. It’s scary by how many idiots are reposting nonsense from the far right parties

        The real problem seems to be that Facebook isn’t moderated anymore, and we clearly need laws in place to force them to do so.
