Man I hope Walz and Kamala win in a few weeks, because I really want to be able to listen to this guy call out bullshit for 8 years.
My wife says he sounds like Red Foreman.
Related - anyone see that episode when Red Foreman yells at Ford for pardoning Nixon? LOLOLOL.

We could all use a lot more Red Foremans in the GOP…
Hahahaha. Oh my god, that’s so funny. I cannot unsee(unhear) this now…I need to find a supercut of him calling people a dumbass.

*Note: I’m in a really loud bar and can’t listen to the video but I assume it’s what you were looking for.
LOL, yes it is.
Believe it or not that’s also one of the bad outcomes.
Hello, Bad Take Inc.? Yeah one of your employees got internet access again
You can live in your delusional world all you want, but Kamala winning is a bad outcome for the US. You thought J6 was bad? They were caught with their pants down last time. This time they’re fucking prepared for a fight. You’re going to see buttfuckery from the Republicans like we’ve never seen before. Someone else posted a convincing argument for a contingency election whereby Donut Dump loses the popular vote, AND the EC, but the House (led by Putin appointee Mike Johnson) gives the Presidency to Donald anyway.
And if that doesn’t happen, expect a fuckin onslaught of court cases from the alt-right terrorists. And the ENTIRE TIME Blohard Dunk is going to be SCREAMING to his base about how their country is being stolen from them. And they’ve proven again and again that they don’t care about reality because they’re so transfixed by what he says.
The constitution is going to be irreparably damaged this election cycle, you can basically count on it.
A peaceful transfer of power is always the best possible, most sought after outcome. Donnie won’t let it happen though. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if some kind of civil war or huge instability breaks out.
China and Russia (who have spent decades fomenting anti-US sentiment (for good reasons IMO)) could see this as an opportunity to attack the US while its weakened and the chain of command is not clear. What happens if BRICS pours tons of troops into Israel or Ukraine? Do you think the US is going to let their proxies get steamrolled? No nation can survive a war on too many fronts.
The whole world could be plunged into chaos. Billions could die.
Am I going to vote for Kamala? Of course. I don’t let terrorists dictate how I vote. But let’s not kid ourselves that it is all sunshine and rainbows when she wins. Harris winning is a bad time. Trump winning is a fucking nightmare scenario.
I want to say you’re wrong about that but frankly it’s plausible enough at this point to be scary
That said, let’s make him have to blatantly try and take it by force, give him no legitimate claim to it. Even if he pulls that, I still think that’s a better outcome than him winning in any capacity.
Agreed. Every sane person should vote for Kamala and hopefully we can push this Nazi bullshit into the sea. I choose to believe that the constitution and American citizens are strong enough to repel tyranny, but that doesn’t make it so, and this is a credible threat to individual liberties and American democracy.
You sound insane but it’s not possible to prove you wrong until this election is over so I’ll just leave it at “I hope you’re wrong”
Yeah, it does sound insane. Most likely Kamala will win and the world won’t end. But that doesn’t mean that the spectre of ruin isn’t hanging overhead. No society lasts forever.
I hope I’m wrong. Time will tell.
The United States Military and the US Strategic Forces stand ready to fulfill our oaths to the Constitution. The Strategic Forces, in particular, stand ready to launch upon the receipt of a valid and authentic order to do so. And those of us who still take our oaths seriously stand ready to respond with whatever force is necessary to stop those traitors within our ranks who would defy or threaten the Constitution, in accordance with all rules and regulations set forth. Hooyah.
Finally, Democrats have someone who can talk to the “everyman” in their own language.
Trump supporters love him so much because “he tells it like it is”. I doubt they’re going to love Walz because of that same line of thinking. Oh that’s right, because he doesn’t have the R in front of his name. He’s also not a racist, which is probably why they really love Trump.
He’s also not a
racistrapistFunny how both words work in that context
Walz tells it like it is, but unlike with Trump the way it is isn’t hating everyone who isn’t like them, so it’s not okay.
Tim Walz said it so much better than this snippet suggests. Please listen to the short clip, that man is fire 👍
Just looked it up. Yeah Tim Walz speaks really effectively.
Thanks for that. It’s really good.
“like a dipSHYIT”
Spoken like a true Midwesterner who gave away his last fuck to give 40 years ago.
I believe that dipshit is the best insult. If you call someone a bitch or asshole, it’s like a badge of honor, but dipshit r is kind of emasculating and really captures the whiny middle schooler inside while also sounding like just a silly word.
He was a teacher for years, he’s seen first hand which insults play best in middle school, and obviously that’s what American politics has devolved to nowadays.
Twat
That doesn’t really play over here in the US
Cunt works fine though
Yeah, no. The broad American public wouldn’t like that. Right or wrong, lots of people hate that word even when directed at someone who is being one.
Some people get weirdly super pissed when you use that word. I have no idea why. I have seen multiple people freak the fuck out randomly whenever it’s been mentioned out loud. They won’t care about other cursewords, only “cunt” specifically, it’s very strange.
I’m not much of a troll these days, but I do enjoy when people will give my generally bad language on Masto a pass, but clutch their pearls when I call something or someone a cunt. Which I’m wont to do because I’m English.
Here’s my read on it - looking up the definition of cunt, it’s “a woman’s genitals” so essentially you’re associating women’s genitalia with something negative, specifically an insult. It doesn’t necessarily make sense seeing as calling someone a dick is fine and isn’t seen as being so vulgar.
Most profanity isn’t used in the sense of the literal definition at all though
But people get called pussies all the time.
It baffled me for a while until I realized that some people take it as a reduction of them to that body part. Like “the only useful part of you is your cunt/dick”.
I always saw it as more of a metaphor, dicks fuck things up, assholes make things shitty, cunts are fucked (and each of those are metaphors since I don’t think there’s anything wrong with literally fucking or being fucked as long as everyone involved is good with it).
Though I still don’t understand why people give others the kind of power over them where they can upset them with their choice of words, before the meaning of their message even comes into play.
Dross
I’m from the US. Plays great here.
Might be regional but, yeah, it’s in use.
Nailed it. Elon is a dipshit.
I really hope “dipshit” is the new “weird” of this last stretch of the election.
Makes sense. They’re all weird-ass dipshits
Creepy dipshits it’s my preference, though the world creepy loses something during Halloween. Maybe dipshit creeps is better now.
Where has Tim Walz been all my political life. Fuck’s sake, it’s a low bar, but having a Dem on the national stage who isn’t afraid to get a little rough with these dipshits is immensely satisfying after some two decades of “W-we c-can’t say anything m-mean about the fascists…”
I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.
We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.
Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.
Dutton literally went in ads recently to help them sell Dodge Rams… which is a car nobody wants here
And the libs aren’t even the worst. It’s scary by how many idiots are reposting nonsense from the far right parties
The real problem seems to be that Facebook isn’t moderated anymore, and we clearly need laws in place to force them to do so.
Good luck to you and your compatriots. It hasn’t done much in the United States. Trump has been steadily gaining for over a month and now Kamala is sliding, so I’m not sure if calling them weird dipshits does much, but it does feel good.
Yes, always make fun of Elon Musk! Don’t forget we’re doing that because Elon is a fascist. It’s okay to skip around prance like a dipshit otherwise. Just don’t be a fascist.
Well if you look like a dipshit and act like a dipshit you’re most likely a dipshit.

I don’t get it.
There’s so many negative things you can say about Musk, yet you punch at his happy dance? This is low and pathetic.
at his happy dance?
You mean the idiotic cavorting of a dipshit who thinks he’s being handed the power to write regulations for his own companies and fuck over the workers who actually produce the value?
thinks he’s being handed the power to write regulations for his own companies
As soon as Kamala said in the debate that Trump can be entirely coerced with flattery and fawning, I picture Elon watching that and jumping up shouting EUREKA!
Yes, thats what we should talk about. Attack him for his abuse of power and workers. Not his dance.
My guy, that’s literally exactly what Walz says in his next sentence in the clip. We can and should make fun of both.
The second discredits you
Hey, dude, you’re acting like a dipshit right now.
Knowing how you navigate credibility in the media (aka having information literacy) does not make you a dipshit
Yeah, how was that working out for you until they started turning up the heat? How was “when they go low, we go high” doing, in terms of actual election results?
If skip out of joy that fascists are clapping for you - literally get fucked.
“Happy dance” at other people’s expense.
The dude claims the Democrats want to end democratic elections, despite Trunk’s literal attempts to overturn a free and fair election, last time, and this time by planting loyalist governors he hopes won’t certify a Democratic win.
He’s jumping for joy on stage because what he sees is the freedom for himself to do whatever the fuck he wants without being regulated, and you even be given a role in government where he gets to make his own rules.
Dipshit is a much more relatable summary I think.
Get fucked, dipshit.
if you don’t understand it, you’re not in a position to judge it.
Yeah, honestly it was cringy, but its also cringy make fun of people for being cringy
Nah. Fascists are fair game.
Nah, bullying is bullying, regardless of if I think someone is wrong, so wrong that their ideas are harmful to people.
