Tim Walz's personal finances are an anomaly in US presidential politics: He has no stocks, bonds, or private equity, and he doesn't even own a home.

    I find myself liking this guy more and more as I hear about him. Can’t tell if he’s a genuinely good person or if he’s got a phenomenal PR team. Can’t ever be too sure these days

      Lifelong MN resident here. He’s a good dude.

      I’ve met him. He’s genuinely good.

    I read in another post, that they sold their family home when they moved into the governors mansion. And way under its current worth apparently.

    They could have easily rented it out and become landlords, but didn’t. They were like “We don’t need this house. Let some other family have it.”

        I’m wondering two things.

        First is… who is “him” we’re talking about?

        The second is, if we’re talking about Trump… how bad is your couch?

        I’ve see a few couches I’d let him sleep on, but first I’d leave outside a crack shack for a month.

        And then give him directions to the crack shack…

            Serious question:

            How the hell is anyone supposed to convince you they’re not a bot after that? Do you want me to dox myself?

            Maybe a photo of my DL, mother’s maiden, SSN and IRS tax id?

            Congratulations. Your bot radar is broken, but I’m never going to convince you or any of the others. And why?

            I’m guessing because you saw a comment you didn’t understand. That’s fine. A little perspective: “would you let them sleep on you couch?” Is usually framed in the negative.

            Hence the first question. The second is an attempt at humor. It didn’t land. Sorry. (Yes, I’d let Trump sleep on my couch. But first I’d find a shitty couch and make it worse.)

              I was just asking a question. You could have just said “No.”

    Can he be the president instead? 🥺

      It’s just the Democratic presidents. No W, Bush I, etc.

        My first guess is, that this photo is taken in some kind of democrat party building. They wouldn’t hang up opposing presidents.

        So… None of the bad ones, then.

          None of the really bad ones, I’d say.

      Depends on the wall.

      I’m sure the FBI has a “most wanted” wall somewhere.

    The only thing I know against the guy is signing off on the Retreat Doctrine, which if there is a prosecutor dumb enough to enact it will almost certainly lose MN money.

    Seems like a pretty good guy otherwise.

    Does he have indices? Or did he meant those when saying stocks. Not having money in some indices is not very wise tbh.

        Not hating on the guy; everything I know about him so far is awesome. But it’s still kinda funny how saintly he keeps appearing to be.

      Yeah, there’s definitely some fetishization of working class going on by the media, kinda like how celebrities sometimes would cosplay as poor to appear “relatable” or something. At least this time it seems to be somewhat legit.

    Hey fuckers, listen! He’s just like you!!!

    Did you hear us!? Just like you, remember!

    Now they just need to pump three articles daily and the electorate will buy it.
