    Trump is occasionally correct and it wasn't with respect to the two murderous despots although he probably envies the way that they can deal with their enemies.

    No need to post Walz's congressional record as he was from a moderate swing district that required moderation to stay in elected office:

    Representative Walz versus Governor Walz - The Washington Post

    “He had to be a moderate,” said former representative Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), who served with Walz on the Agriculture Committee. “He was in a competitive district like I was, and that required you to have more of a bipartisan voting record. But he also was pretty adamant about his partisanship when he needed to be.”

    It's Walz's radical record as governor that got him the nod on the ticket with Harris, not as a moderate congressman.

    Keep grasping at those straws. I’m sure Walz will be quitting the race any day now despite a historically high rating for a VP. LOL.

    Sanctuary Transgender Minnesota established under Tim Walz:

    Harris VP Pick Greenlit Law Allowing State To Take Child Custody From Parents Who Oppose Sex-Change Surgeries (msn.com)

    The “Trans Refuge Bill” allows for “temporary emergency jurisdiction” if a parent denies their child sex-change procedures, according to the bill’s text. The bill defines the interventions, which include sex-changes, hormone replacement and cosmetic surgeries, as “medically necessary” so long as it “respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined” by the child.

    The bill amends “child custody and child welfare provisions” pertaining to out-of-state laws that would interfere with Minnesota’s “gender-affirming health care” laws.

    Minnesota’s bill provided a loophole allowing individuals, including children, from other states to receive transgender treatments and asserted that out-of-state provisions “interfering” with access to these procedures “must not be enforced or applied within the state.” At the same time, Minnesota law gives the state “temporary emergency jurisdiction” to make a custody determination if the child “has been unable to obtain” these transgender treatments.

    “Our beautifully weird, eclectic, and fabulous queer agenda is to continue to show up in spaces that were designed to shut us out, and we’ll continue to be joyous,” Finke said in the press release. “Our joy is an act of resistance, and we won’t rest until all our liberation efforts succeed.”


    Children of any age can decide for themselves, and Minnesota laws under Walz are structured to let children do as they please in the age and the moment.

    Daniel Baldwin on X: "Tim Walz signed a bill making Minnesota a “Trans Refugee State.” No age limits for minors who could receive “gender affirming care.” Truly radical. https://t.co/NrE6Vkhgw9" / X (twitter.com)

    This isn't about bullying and freedom, it's about obstructing parent's rights and allowing decisions to be made by children before they reach an age of understanding and legal consent.

    Walz is a flaming lunatic who as governor has transformed Minnesota into the California of the Midwest.

    The tax is 1% on investment income in a year that exceeds $1 million. That affects less than 0.1% of the population, or in Minnesota less than 5,800 people. Let’s say you earn $2 million from investment income in a year. That means the investment tax supposedly driving people out of Minnesota are taxed on $1 million and will incur a $10,000 tax. No one making seven figures a year from investments is moving solely because of a 1% investment tax.

    He had to raise taxes after running through his state budget surplus to pay for all of his woketard initiatives. We don't need him or Cackling Kamala raising taxes on the national level.

    Rich people are funny things. They usually want a deal even if it is ridiculous in terms of the overall and they won't be effed by a woketard governor without striking back.

    If you assume all 5,800 people are making $2M a year (likely quite generous) that only results in an additional $58M in revenue which isn’t moving the needle when Minnesota is projecting a $3.7 billion surplus in the current two-year budget.

    And as I pointed out in another post with a 2.9% unemployment rate, a median household income significantly higher than that of Florida and a cost of living index lower than that of Florida.

    You're now quoting o''leary, Mr wonderful as he likes to be called? That's funny given his self promoting politics. Is he even a US citizen, Canadian as I recall. You'd be better off quoting kudlow and company.

    Like to just make up stuff, ehh? Walz has done an outstanding job wrt budget. You would be lucky to have him as your VP.

    On Thursday, Minnesota Management and Budget officials released the February budget and economic forecast showing the 2024-25 biennium is expected to end with a surplus of $3.71 billion. That’s up $1.32 billion from November projections.

    Minnesota’s projected budget surplus balloons to $3.7 billion, but fiscal pressure still looms - Session Daily - Minnesota House of Representatives

    Thankfully he’ll get to be his and everyone’s VP here in just about 3 months. Walz is a badass and ET and the right know it, which is why they’re desperately trying to sling any mud they can at him. None of it is sticking, though, because the attacks are so unbelievably weak and pathetic.

    Minnesota loses retirees to warmer locations of Florida, Texas and Arizona, something has been happening for 60+ years, and that’s supposed to be some kind of political statement? lol

    Even more so now, you can South Dakota to the list. That's what happens when you pi$$ off the rich. The numbers don't have to make sense, it's being ticked off for not getting something out of the bargain and in this case having something from the bargain taken away. You can add that once this increased taxation is in place, there is the uncertainty of just how far a woketard state is willing to go. Arizona, Florida, South Dakota, and Texas are looking really good to the Minnesota rich as safe havens.

    Who is John Galt?

    The time tested strategy of picking a running mate is to pick someone who balances the ticket within the spectrum of the party. A centrist will pick a whack job and a whack job will pick a centrist. Here we have a whack job picking an even bigger whack job.

    Just gotta hope enough voters in Pennsylvania wake up to it and say to themselves 'WTF are these clowns avoiding questions?' But I suspect that veil will be lifted whether they do it voluntarily or not...
