All I can add is Walz has been an utter failure governing MN. From the post Floyd burning of Minneapolis to the 250 million dollar feed our children food fraud, he’s worthless.
Last I saw, Minnesota was performing pretty well, but hey, I think I'll listen to some anonymous, ignorant food tube on the Internet instead of looking at data.
You know how much wealth has exited MN in the last 5 years? Almost 8 billion between 1995 and 2014 and that’s long before Walz even showed up. It’s worsening in the last 3 years. You can only tax your citizens to a point and then exist stage left to a friendlier state. And the 17 billion surplus? “. At the end of the legislative session on Monday, DFL lawmakers agreed to spend nearly the entire surplus on new and existing programs, raising spending for the next biennium from the $55.5 billion baseline to $69.5 billion, as John Phelan outlined. Certainly, some of the new spending is nonrecurring. But in the 2026-2027 biennium, Minnesota’s budget will still be over 20 percent higher than what it is in the current biennium.” The 17 billion dollar surplus was spent by the DFL. So now, these new programs that are reoccurring will have to funded going forward. Who’s going to pay for them?
Sofia, it's weird that you basically ignore all of the legislation that passed under his governorship. Poor Minnie, nothing but a burned out wasteland. Are you still living in a Quonset hut in Edina?
Can you name anything Vance has accomplished politically in his wretched life?
Ohio, I don’t know if you’re being funny or addressing the 20 something snarkrates? Vance wouldn’t be my 1st choice for VP. Going from impoverished Appalachian upbringing to marines to Ivy League is the American success story. Yep, he’s young and little political experience. But, the flip of that is he hasn’t been in politics for decades like so many politicians that make a career out of what was intended to originally be a term and return home to a real job. So besides Walz lording over MN during COVID with “ rat on your neighbor “ policy, to delaying the National Guard’s arrival after the burning of Minneapolis to claiming to have fed hundreds of thousands of children during lockdown. Still no one has answered for 250 million stolen from taxpayers and to boot, it took the Feds to alert Walz’s administration to the food fraud.
I put peas in a lot of things, including Indian and Chinese and Cajun meals that normally do not contain peas. Peas are delicious and colorful, and who, exactly, does this hurt?
I never heard of a pea allergy before. Learn something new every day, that's my motto. My parents grew peas in their garden when I was a wee girl, and I have vivid memories of sitting on the front porch shelling peas with my mother when I was 4 years old, and eating more of them than I put in the bowl, and so my mother wouldn't let me shell peas after that. They are SO TASTY fresh out of the pod!
Until I was 7 I refused to eat canned peas, which all that were available in the late 50's unless you grew them fresh in your garden, for no reason other than that I was an extremely picky eater and I just refused to eat them. Then one day I decided, for no reason, to try them, and I loved them!
Progressives who cast “uncommitted” in the Democratic primaries this spring indicated they would be happier if Walz was picked. They pointed to his remarks on CNN after 19% of the Democratic electorate in the state’s presidential primary participated in the protest vote. “They are asking to be heard and that’s what they should be doing,” Walz said. “Their message is clear that they think this is an intolerable situation and that we can do more. And I think the president is hearing that.”
After the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Walz ordered state flags to be flown at half-mast and criticized those who did not condemn the attack. “If you did not find moral clarity on Saturday morning, and you find yourself waiting to think about what you needed to say, you need to reevaluate where you’re at,” Walz said at a vigil held at Congregation Beth El in Minneapolis. ...
Oh jesus actual, "Daughters" is beyond fucking gross, and that it still pops up ANYWHERE is absolutely maddening, thank you St. Vincent for reminding everyone

Oh, I love the way mama holds and loves her baby, with every ounce of her heart!
Oh great, now I want to grow fur.
Oh goodness, don’t let Wanderer hear you say that. He’ll have ideas!
Having met Wanderer in person, I may well already be in one of his novels.

Whar Dachshunds?
like
Hey! You can't fool me. Those aren't Dachshunds.
I KNOW! And the last of my trio of Dachshunds, who was named Peanut, crossed the Rainbow Bridge just a month ago and I was hoping he was visiting me through MartiGlam, and here I am, sobbing in despair at the lack of sausage dogs.
Luv those bump in the trees.
All the better to grab with those sharp little claws!
This is the best tabs gif. Koalas FTW.
NO. KIDDING
Its the sweetest animal GIF I've ever seen...The look on Mama's face made me literally tear up...I want to live in that universe
AND BABY TOO!! * SOB*

"Hey, Frankie, get a load of the pouch on that gal. Whatta looker!"
You ruin EVERYTHING!

All mamas love their littles!
Mammals, maybe. Certain fishies, on the other hand, love them as snacks.
Love is love 😂
So cute!
Cute dropbears. You can almost see the chlamydia.
Meh, the tazzies are running around giving each other face cancer, I think I’d prefer chlamydia
Koala chlamydia is the best chlamydia. Come at me, bro.
Chlamydia, Chlamydia, have you met Chlamydia?
Chlamydia the drop-bear pathogen.
When it gets in your urethra, your discharge becomes less see-through.
Lyida, sweet Lydia. You gave me chlamydia...
WooOOW
"Ah, the Duke! Your Grace, my daughter has been itching to meet you! Chlamydia, over here!"

Just discovered mashed potatoes. So easy to make, so yum!
Whatever Jamie Dimon says re: the economy, believe the exact opposite.
And here is one of the most basic, primordial differences between the two political parties.
People see a pic of Tim Walz holding a piglet, and everyone goes, "Awwww!"
If they saw that same pic with the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, everyone would go, "He's not going to fuck that, is he?"
I was promised wiener dogs. I got drop bears. I'm not exactly unhappy, but I feel...something?
How can anyone be surprised about what people eat in Minnesota? Have they not seen "Fargo"?

Humans are weird.
It’s funny, because due to the magic of time zones,
Fake news! Time zones aren’t real, round earther!
They can't tell time, come on

Please feel free to fuck all the way off, tankie!
Ad hominem. Proof of no argument
I'm sorry, did you think you'd made any points worth arguing against? Oh, that's so cute!

Hyperbole. 2 billion in insured losses. There were uninsured losses that may never be known.
I put peas in a lot of things, including Indian and Chinese and Cajun meals that normally do not contain peas. Peas are delicious and colorful, and who, exactly, does this hurt?
Garrison Keillor on line 2, probably. I mean, ya gotta add some color somewhere in that mass of carbohydrate.
My ex, who was always so dramatic about peas, and her deathly allergy to them, and all that anaphylactic shock? But not me, because I love fresh peas.
I never heard of a pea allergy before. Learn something new every day, that's my motto. My parents grew peas in their garden when I was a wee girl, and I have vivid memories of sitting on the front porch shelling peas with my mother when I was 4 years old, and eating more of them than I put in the bowl, and so my mother wouldn't let me shell peas after that.

Mrs. Gleep. She hatesssssssss them
Until I was 7 I refused to eat canned peas, which all that were available in the late 50's unless you grew them fresh in your garden, for no reason other than that I was an extremely picky eater and I just refused to eat them. Then one day I decided, for no reason, to try them, and I loved them!
I do not know the song "Daughters" and based on the conversation here, thank you Jesus!
The more I learn about Walz, the better it gets.

PARTY BALLOONS THE BEST CHOICE WAS CHOSEN
I'm not sure how to react when our side does the thing I'm sure will help us win.
😄😄😄💙💙💙
Yes!
"Nazi-adjacent white boy Jack Posobiec, about how progressives are “Unhumans.” How very gingrich of him.
And didn't JD Vance in Pants write a blueb promoting that weird travesty
