#Walz is speaking. This audience is going wild. #HarrisWalz2024
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 #Project2025 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 #weird as hell
10/ Speech over. We have a winning team. Wow. #HarrisWalz2024 #Coach
"Do not carelessly take the hope of others my friends.
We all derive that most precious gift from so many different sources. From deep within ourselves, from belief in good and benevolent supernatural forces, from belief in ordered and ultimately just natural forces, and from a plethora of other deeply held and personal beliefs uncounted.
Our fight is not with hope fellow citizens, it is with intolerance, despair, suffering, and death.
In fact, we need not fear the beliefs of others, only their imposition upon us."

@GottaLaff What a gift we have been given. #hope
@Softwaremerc @GottaLaff Absolutely a gift. And a blessing.
@Softwaremerc Damn. That thought and post needs so many stars!!!! Absolutely!
@GottaLaff I now have hope for your Country! Those were powerful speech!
@GottaLaff It's a very different ballgame than a month ago. Wow! Or in Vance terminology, sofa king better!
As a European, i'm really happy that there's a strong team now on the democratic side of the aisle.
Let's now hope they get the numbers out to vote!
@jan We're trying!
@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
haha! so true.
@richardgrant @GottaLaff it's pretty weird that "creepy" is an insult, but "felon" isn't
@deborahh @richardgrant @GottaLaff
Creepy is an opinion, felon is a fact?
@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.
@GottaLaff
Mic drop
@Wileymiller So damn good!!
@GottaLaff @Wileymiller
And the way he said, "See what I did there?" after it and pointed at someone in the front row. Excellent delivery.
@darthstar @GottaLaff @Wileymiller and Harris fought to keep her face under control after that
@GottaLaff @darthstar @Wileymiller "I can do it, come on, be serious … bwahahaha"
I loved that moment.
@GottaLaff the gloves came off and I am HERE for it!!!
@GottaLaff Calling him lazy and subtly referencing him as a couchophile for those in the know. Chef’s kiss.
ka-POWWWW!!
@GottaLaff They killed it in front of 10,000 people (actual 10K unlike some candidates)
@GottaLaff watching Walz speak is rekindling my pride in being from Minnesota. Not that it ever really went away, but that there is my home state governor! In the mold of Wellstone, Mondale, Humphrey…
@GottaLaff OMG I am loving this man!
@GottaLaff We should make a hashtag # MYODB !
@GottaLaff I want it on a coffee mug!
@GottaLaff Burn baby burn!
@GottaLaff
Your favorite, so far!
