    This is the funniest post I've seen in a while. Actually beats the crummy original post.

    Sir, can you please offer some suggestions on things that didn't actually happen that we should be outraged about, but hypocriticialy aren't. It's hard to get outraged about fake things that didn't actually happen without, shall we say, a little guidance or direction.

    I like that you provided a different perspective. I have now watched the video and the photos from your post. Something still does not add up. In the video. He is clearly looking left as he walks out. In the photos he is clearly looking right as he walks. So are they at different times? I am not saying he did or did not do something. But it appears your link is using a different time stamp to make their point? Or am I missing something? The high quality resolution shot is clearly not the same time as the one in question based on where he is looking.

    The problem I have with this picture is matching it with the video. He is clearly looking to the other side of the stands in the video in question. Now the low resolution shots seem to show it is still not a middle finger when looking left. But this photo to me does not match the video...

    If Harris and Walz are so bad, why does MAGA need to keep fabricating easily disproven nonsense about them? Tampons in boys restrooms, eating dogs and cats in JD Vance’s own state, cutting off hurricane aid to the south, etc, etc…. And petty little pretend stories like this and the headphone pic….

    Can’t they find something real to hit them on? guess not…

    In the video posted in the OP, Walz is looking the opposite direction (than he his in your photo) when the middle finger goes up. If you zoom in, you can see his index finger is retracted and it is indeed his middle finger up in the video from the OP.

    Look for the index finger knuckle in the video posted. His index finger is retracted. It’s his middle finger. Now whether or not the video has been manipulated or not, who knows, but that’s what I’m seeing.

    I am not so sure you were wrong and let’s be honest, it’s the type of thing Tim Walz would do.

    It is in the explanation. They showed one picture of him looking left, which appears to show the index finger and then that photo, which definitively shows which finger it was, was from a different video taken approximately 1 second later.

    Interesting you would choose that picture to make your point.
    Note where the Dow took its biggest dive in the last 30 years, the last half of October 2020. What else was going on then? Seems there was an election going on. I wonder who is playing around with the numbers just before the election.

    Oh here is a better picture to show just what the dow did in the days before the 2020 election. Ya gotta wonder if there were some billionaires willing to lose a few million temporarily to make the current administration look bad.

    Thought it was pretty clearly the index finger even from the video. Even if it wasn't, its football - he probably should have done it. I think it would have been funny and shown a down to earth side of him or any candidate would have done it. Afterwards happily own up to it as a light hearted joke and move on to the next question.

    That dive was more like March of 2020, and it was obviously due to Covid and “shutting down the economy” in places like NY and California…. No one was “playing with the numbers”, that was a completely normal and expected reaction. The market was roaring back and nearing record highs again by election time.

    I will agree on the gravity of the situation. A quick bird to the random fan is a lot more forgettable than calling tens of millions of voters a "basket of deplorables" in a speech.

    No. It is not to be honest. I do t know based on what we have seen…

    Especially after you post a link that clearly shows a different shot.

    Yes, in that one second, he put down his middle finger (which also looks exactly like his index finger) and started smiling while pointing at people. You got him. Whatever you need to tell yourself. Clearly, it is all false, but we know that truth isn't really the goal here, is it?
