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.
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 ~~racist~~ rapist
Funny 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.
Dross
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.
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.
