is speaking. This audience is going wild.

2/ Gov. Walz to Vice President Harris: "Thank you for bringing back the joy."

Later: “Don’t ever underestimate teachers” Wild cheers.

3/ Gov. Walz: Trump "doesn't know the first thing about service. He doesn't have time for it, because he's too busy serving himself."

4/ “Trump froze during the COVID crisis."

“Don’t believe Trump when he’s playing dumb. He knows exactly what is.”

5/ & my favorite:

“Make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump…. That’s not even counting the crimes he committed”

6/ “I can’t wait to debate” Vance.

7/ Walz: In Minnesota we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule, mind your own damn business.

8/ 🏆🔥 for couch reference!!

Full quote:

Walz on Vance: I can’t wait to debate the guy. That is, if he’s willing to get off his couch and show up.

9/ Walz: These guys are creepy and as hell

@GottaLaff I hail the introduction of “creepy” into the discourse. Maybe even more on-point than “weird”

@richardgrant @GottaLaff it’s much more to the point and leaves us normal old time weirdos free and clear

@richardgrant @GottaLaff it's pretty weird that "creepy" is an insult, but "felon" isn't 😢

@AlisonW @deborahh @richardgrant @GottaLaff yes. Also, most felons aren't bad people, they are ordinary people who made bad mistakes or used bad judgement. For the most part it doesn't define them (or shouldn't).

But creepy is who you are.

@deborahh @richardgrant @GottaLaff They can both be insults. One is subjective opinion, and the other is an objective fact on record.

He's a weird, felonious phony.

@richardgrant @GottaLaff Also, "creepy" lacks the ableist overtones of "weird" (a slur with which Autistic and physically disabled kids are taunted every day).

"Creepy" is still a way of saying "different in a way that makes ME uncomfortable," but IMO it somehow manages to avoid the ableism.
