Walz vs. Vance: VP Debate Oct 1 2024

[Anonymous]

Tim Walz’s experience in China could help him as veep, but he barely mentions it as a candidate

The warning from the U.S. State Department in June 1989 was stark. It told Americans to stay away from China, citing an “extremely volatile and potentially life-threatening” situation there following the Tiananmen Square massacre. Two months later, even though the department was still discouraging “non-essential” travel to the country, a 25-year-old teacher from Nebraska went there anyway.

“I’m somewhat apprehensive, but I’m also excited,” Gov. Tim Walz told a local newspaper before departing for a yearlong teaching appointment in the southern Chinese city of Foshan. “It will be an interesting experience, I’m sure.”

That experience sparked in Walz a lifelong fascination with Chinese culture — one he shared with hundreds of high school students on elaborately planned annual trips over the course of a decade and touted proudly when he first entered politics. Walz was so proud of his extensive experience abroad that he occasionally used to exaggerate it. His campaign now acknowledges that Walz’s past claims that he had been to China around 30 times were overstated, and the actual number of trips he’s taken from the United States to China is “closer to 15.”


But, now as Minnesota’s governor and the Democratic Party's nominee for vice president, Walz has chosen to emphasize his folksy image as a down-home Midwestern dad and state-championship football coach rather than his history as a peripatetic world traveler. His biography on the Harris-Walz campaign’s official website makes no mention of his extensive international experience.

Why doesn’t Walz talk about his extensive experience traveling to China and visiting China, etc? He talks about everything else to the point of numbness.

Yet, besides his lie about Tiananmen square being pointed out- he doesn’t mention China.

Just because they aren’t democrats and don’t agree with democrat policies doesn’t mean they’re not human beings. Democrats should get over themselves, pretending they are the only political party that is fit to exist.

Trump is an adjudicated rapist and a bigot. Vance is clearly a misogynist relatable only to incels. But sure you go ahead and talk these losers up. Democrats want actual Republicans back not the current cult of personality.

Democrats aren’t the deciders of who is a real republican or who are the “right” republicans.

Again, get over yourselves.

Democrats go on and on about democracy but can’t stand it when candidates who aren’t chosen by “those who know better” run for office.

Biden was a longtime insider lifelong politician…Hillary, it was her turn!! Kamala didn’t win a single delegate during the democrat primary.

Democrats do not like it when people vote. They don’t like or trust people voting.

The only voting democrats like is a vote for a democrat hand selected by democrat party big wigs. Democrats curate their candidates and offer who they want to run, and demand their democrat base turns out in droves and votes for them. “Vote blue no matter who!”

Democrats are abused and gaslighted by their party “leaders.”

Democrats didn’t decide anything…there is a long list of solid republicans that are now endorsing Harris/Walz because Trump is a cult leader and not a Republican. That’s pretty damning.

I think Tim maybe needed a little more prep, but let's be honest there was no way he was going to win when it does not matter what the other side says. Jd didn't even have to prep. He could just literally make up whatever he wanted in the moment based on what Tim said and know that it does not matter at all to his voters

Walz is too old and too politically experienced to act like a nervous wreck during a single debate.

He was a senior enlisted leader in the US military and a football coach, but was in shambles last night. Something isn’t right about that.

He wasn’t in shambles last night. He did fine, and definitively knocked Vance out in the last 10 minutes. Maybe that was past your bedtime.

Ida Rukavina, the commissioner of Minnesota's Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation, was appointed by Walz in 2022 to oversee the economic development of the northeastern part of the state, where the world's largest untapped copper-nickel reserve sits.

On Dec. 19, 2021, Rukavina posted a photo of her dog to Facebook, according to metadata attached to the image, which appears to have been deleted. In the background were clearly visible posters of communist leaders Mao Zedong and Che Guevara decorating the wall. The poster of Mao, China's communist dictator from the late 1940s until his death in 1976, and whose policies have been blamed for the deaths of millions, included the communist slogan frequently extolled during his rule: "Revolution is not guilty."

Meanwhile, the poster honoring Guevara, a prominent communist figure during the Cuban Revolution who murdered and tortured hundreds of his political opponents, was paired with a novel on Rukavina's bookshelf about his life.


Rukavina's affinity for communist leaders comes amid scrutiny over Walz's ties to communist China. By the governor's own admission, he has traveled there several times, including a trip in 1993 that was paid for by the Chinese government. Walz, a former social studies teacher, was often accompanied on these trips by his students, one of whom described the governor turned vice presidential candidate as "Maoist to the core."




And she was a longtime Klobuchar aide!

Longtime Klobuchar Aide Named Commissioner of Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation

December 21, 2022 - December 22, 2022

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the statement below after Governor Tim Walz named Ida Rukavina, a longtime Klobuchar aide, as the next Commissioner of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation.

“Ida Rukavina worked for me for years as my northern Minnesota outreach director. She is incredibly smart and an intrepid and innovative leader. In her new job as Commissioner of Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation, she will have the backs of Iron Rangers!”

So disturbing that leftists worship communism.

No one is a Marxist/communist anymore! This isn’t 1920s anymore. This campaign to smear Democrats as Marxist/communists is absurd! Such a desperate move.

Remember when Obama spokesperson Jay Carney was found to have Soviet propaganda posters in his home?



[list]

Washingtonian MOM magazine's spring issue has a profile of White House Press Secretary Jay Carney's wife, ABC News contributor Claire Shipman, that features a picture taken inside their home. In the background of the photo, you can see two framed Soviet-era propaganda posters.

One of Carney's posters is a version of this iconic design by artist Dmitry Moor with a soldier pointing his finger alongside text that says "Have YOU Enlisted?" in Russian:





The other poster features a female factory worker. According to this eBay seller, who is offering one for $1,660, the poster was printed on June 26, 1941, days after Russia began fighting the Axis powers in World War II. It encourages women take jobs vacated by men who have gone to fight. The woman in the poster is switching out a tag with a man's name to one with hers and the text says: "Women! Learn production, replace workers who went to the front! The stronger the hinterland - the stronger the front!"

Carney did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider Friday.

Has anyone thought that Carney should be investigated for possible russian collusion?


Why do democrats have communist propaganda posters in their homes?

Anybody? This is so strange. What is the explanation? Why would you have it as wall art?

Yeah, Klobuchar’s longtime aide gets appointed to a cabinet level position by Walz, the constant traveler to China. She has communist propaganda posters on her walls- but deleted the facebook post and refuses to comment.

Carney has communist propaganda on his walls in his home and surprise!- refuses to comment.

Yes, fans came off much more polished and slick.... But he said nothing of substance and he changed his position on it. At least four issues mid to bake. He literally said he supports a nationwide ban an abortion, but last night claimed he doesn't and never has...

Any man that doesn’t act like a toxic frat bro and bully people is “in shambles” for MAGA.

Walz called himself a knucklehead. What a joke. Why would anyone vote for a self described knucklehead?

People with humility. Very typical for a Minnesotan.

Vance definitely won this heart, and I wasn’t expecting to like him.

"I'm a knucklehead at times... I misspoke on this," Walz admitted when addressing discrepancies in his reported travel history to Hong Kong in 1989, as reported by several news outlets.

Sure until you realized he gave non-answers to just about every question with no specifics or policy. He also refused to agree that Trump lost the 2020 election or support the peaceful transition of power. The mask dropped and he was exposed for the amoral, say anything guy he is.
