"[Tim Walz] jumped to the top of Ms. Harris’s list in a matter of days, helped by cable news appearances in which he declared that Republicans were 'weird.'"

"The new, clear articulation of why voters should reject Mr. Trump caught on fast and turned the spotlight on the plain-spoken Midwesterner behind it.... Mr. Walz leapfrogged better-known contenders in part because Ms. Harris viewed him as an Everyman figure from Minnesota whose Midwestern-dad-vibe balanced out her Bay Area background, according to three people familiar with the vice president’s thinking...."


It's so embarrassingly lightweight! He's the guy who thought up "weird" and reminded Ezra Klein of a "dad."

" And for bonus points name a single other person that was convicted of the same thing Trump was convicted of."

Name a single other person that fucked a porn star while their wife was pregnant, then paid the porn star off so she wouldn't on him, and then falsified
his business records to cover up the pay off.

Poor dumb Achilles.


Notice that Mutaman inadvertently said the quiet part out loud.

Paying a porn star to keep quiet about sex isn't illegal. Men have been paying women to keep quiet about affairs since we started recording history.

You really don't even know how stupid you are.

I'd be surprised if they did that, but only mildly. Giving the normies a sense that they are pushing the panic button again would be a pretty large risk.

It's a strikingly vapid and contentless articulation, but it's "new" and "clear" so that counts for a lot in some circles.

50 years of the media demonizing dads and Midwestern guys like Walz and now all of a sudden, he's a cuddly teddy bear? He's probably not another Dennis Hastert, but if he offered me a lift I wouldn't take it.

Walz is "plain spoken"? That's just weird.

What's worse, being weird or being a deplorable?

“Paying a porn star to keep quiet about sex isn't illegal.”

Also there’s zero evidence he had sex with her (and some evidence he didn’t). Most likely it was just a shakedown, and he paid her off rather than fight it. Happens a lot with wealthy people.
