“We see it now: The hate has shifted to the trans community,” Walz said. “They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.”

“We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about,” he continued. “They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”

    Tim Walz is the Captain Picard we’ve needed for a long time.

      Now wait a minute, he may speak perfect English without the faintest trace of a French accent, but I’m doubting he was born and raised in France like Captain Picard and his brother and his brother’s family.

          I’d like to humbly disagree: Quality and quantity matters, a lot.
          Huffing paint thinners is a bad idea obviously.

        bro for real space exploring is hard tho, my dog peed on some apparently sacred tree and the aliens flipped out, it’s like sorry where else am I supposed to walk my dog? Maybe don’t have sacred sites that my dog thinks are for peeing on?
