The bar was so low all he had to do was order donuts without acting like a serial killer

[email protected] is you want to know the real Time Walz.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

Lol this was a lot more wholesome than I expected

[-] [email protected] 2 points 20 minutes ago

Yeah but so is he

[-] [email protected] 51 points 5 hours ago

It was hard for Republicans to compete with The Onion's devastating exposé alleging that Walz' "aw, shucks" persona is merely a facade concealing his true "gee whiz" tendencies.

Link to the article in case anyone else hasn't seen it yet.

According to a poll I saw a while ago he’s MORE POPULAR THAN TAYLOR SWIFT.

I was not aware such a feat was possible.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 hours ago

He should drop an album while he's on top!

[-] [email protected] 50 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Their smear campaign honestly made me like him more and I'm unironically considering moving to Minnesota as a direct result. The only problem is that I'm from the South and snow is scary.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 6 hours ago

The snow and the cold are no joke. Buy yourself some good winter clothing straight off the bat. Don't go for those cheap off brands. Oh no. You want to be warm, you want the good stuff. And remember to layer.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Depends on what you do. Plenty of people only have to walk from car door to heated building so crappy winter clothes isn't a huge deal. There are those people that wear shorts year round based on that principle.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

Yes, but in the car there is still a bag of appropriate winter clothes for emergencies.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 hours ago

It's all in the socks and a good, warm hat. Wools over cotton, wet cotton from sweat or snow in cold enough weather can be dangerous.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

My sister got me a llama wool beanie a few years ago, and I will sweat at near zero. That shit is WARM.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Llama (or probably alpaca) wool is no joke. There's a reason why most yarns are a blend and aren't 100% alpaca, it's usually too hot.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I have alpaca wool socks and they are just amazing. So comfortable and so warm. They were something like $22 for a pair, but they've held up pretty well and they've been worth it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Ideally no cotton.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 6 hours ago

Born and raised in MN. Snow gives you a chance to learn how to ski, and isn’t terrible to drive in when you relax and are patient.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

It's been a few years since my trip to Milwaukee but, I remember it being just a bit more slippery than the first rain after a dry spell. Still very manageable and, like you said, just ease into it and it'll become natural.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

There are parts of the twin cities that are fully car free so you ~~dummy~~ don’t need to drive.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

I'm originally from Florida and that's what I do. Although the light rail is a bit interesting sometimes.

Among all of the people included in the survey, no one finished below Vance.

[-] [email protected] 58 points 6 hours ago
[-] [email protected] 27 points 6 hours ago

You think he could finish a couch? I think it would eventually fake it, tell him what a good boy he was, and then roll over and let him sleep in the wet spot.

Your mom never tells me she's proud of me... She just talks about how much better you are than I am.

My mom too...

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

Aww, buddy I hope you know that you’re the best!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

I'm gonna get diabetes from all this wholesomeness.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

I'm just grateful for my participation trophy!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

I’ve never had a problem finishing your mom, not sure what you’re doing wrong

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

That's a good boy!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 hours ago

A friend of mine was telling me about it, said Fox News was going on about how they "don't like the way he moves." Whatever that means.

"Twitchy Tim" is what Fox News decided on.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago

Why do these people always have to have some stupidass nickname for someone that’s not based on anything related to their platform or policies?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

Because they don't want to talk about truth, the programs, policies etc.

Also how the hell do you sell Trump otherwise? He can't even align a coherent phrase to explicit anything.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 hours ago

Because some of them mentally never left high school. So they pick 'insults" that were "funny" and made them "cool", back when they peaked, and those appeal to the rest of the faux-news followers who did the same.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Yeah it was a rhetorical question. I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to point out to them that the “other side” doesn’t use these kinds of nicknames?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

There's many such nickname based on trumps fake tan. We can't really claim superiority on the nickname thing. It IS funny though.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Right online and in memes. Are those used by cable news networks and candidates at their rallies?

[-] [email protected] 25 points 6 hours ago

BUT…. HE FED HUNGRY CHILDREN!!!😡😡😡

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

The other argument I saw against him was he admitted when he made a mistake one time. I just remember it cause that struck me as so strange. Like... Yeah that's awesome. Admitting you were wrong and trying to fix your mistake is a pretty damn good quality. It would be so annoying if he thought he knew everything about everything and never ever admitted he was wrong about anything even when he- oooooh it makes sense now.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 6 hours ago

The father we all wish we had.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

I appreciate that, I guess meme, going around that the reason he resonates with so many of us is because he's the father we could have had if Fox News hadn't corrupted him.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 6 hours ago
[-] [email protected] 30 points 6 hours ago

When I first saw it, I thought it was in suport of him until I realized who was posting it

Same thing for "all lives matter" where I thought it was someone agreeing with black lives matter the first time I heard it. Didn't realize someone could get so close to the point and miss it there

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago

Same, I didn't get why All Lives Matter was a bad thing at first. I'm like "yes! we're all humans and everyone matters!" Then I saw who was posting it and had to reaccess.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 6 hours ago

Anecdotal, but relevant: I had forgotten what the "smears" were supposed to be until I saw this and went "oh, right, they did that".
