Outside of being a white guy, DEI hire from Minnesota, is there anything we should know about him now before the legacy media elevates him to Joe Biden status? It didn't seem like he was the first choice for the Harris campaign.

MIDDAY: Who is Tim Walz -- from a team of reporters who covered him in the House, where he spent the bulk of his political career.
— Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) August 6, 2024
His record in the Capitol was decidedly LESS progressive than the public narrative indicates. He voted with Republicans frequently in the Capitol,…
My favorite Tim Walz fact is that he named a highway after Prince and signed the bill in purple ink. pic.twitter.com/c2VH0BSmBi

LOL, Harris could have picked Donald Trump to be her VP and you would have called it a DEI hire.bear2034 said:

True, since it appeared the Democrats were only looking for white males to "balance out" the ticket? If the Democrats kicked Biden to the curb earlier, Trump could have selected him to be his VP pick.Eastern Oregon Bear said:

I have been a Walz fan for several months, since I first saw him interviewed... and the more I learned, the more I liked.
(Have posted this before, even recently, but... )
He talks well. Very eloquent (at least one-on-one) and fast on his feet. States his points strongly, yet in a likeable way.
The GOP is already trying to paint him as "radical left" but you just look at the guy and his resume and that's not gonna fly.
Speaking of resumes, his is great:
+ Army National Guard for 24 years, including deployments
+ Forner high school social studies teacher and football coach (also taught in China for a year)
+ 12 years in the United States Congress
+ Elected Governor of Minnesota, then reelected.
I'm looking forward to the VP debate. JD Vance is catching a lot of crap these days, some of it undeserved, IMO. He is a sharp guy but will be going up against a formidable opponent in Walz.
The only way this will be a bad choice is if the Dems narrowly lose Pennsylvania and, because of that, the election.

I pretty much agree there, BttW, and welcome to Bear Insider!
Fantastic pick. He makes the sofa lover look like a shillbilly turd.
Oh wait. Shady ALREADY looked that way.

I remembered you posting about Walz earlier, congratulations, you got what you wanted. Agreed, if the Democrats lose the election because they lost PA, they will see this as a mistake. In the meantime, I'm not sure who's happier with the pick, Democrats or MAGA. Kamala Harris just picked a leftist from a non-swing state.

Vance is neither a sofa lova nor a shillbilly turd. Other than running for VP with Trump, why do you hate him so much?
Minneapolis Mayor Frey begged for the National Guard to stop the BLM riots.

Governor Tim Walz ignored him. pic.twitter.com/WR5lag70nk
Why did Walz refuse the request for National Guard troops on the first day of the George Floyd riots?
Tim Walz is the only candidate on either ticket who does not wear makeup.
What does Walz suggest a 10 year old boy do with a tampon?
Don't worry. Dems will take PA without Shapiro. You can safely go back to worrying about male genitalia.
Does Walz believe in the state allowing the removal of a boy's genitalia without parental consent?

Girls sometimes use boys' facilities when the girls' facilities aren't available. Visiting girls athletic teams usually use the boys' facilities because the home team is using the girls' facilities.
I realize that you republicans hate anybody under 21 learning sex education or seeing tampons, but it's really weird.

You can't roast someone with a joke that has no basis in reality, whatsoever. Y'all are experts at patting each other on the back for no reason whatsoever.

So white people can be DEI hires too ? So that in turn means
Tell someone you love them and try to have a good day

When 10,000 people thunderously laugh at your joke, who the f@uck needs a basis in reality?
…and you can be guaranteed that whenever Harris or Walz got a laugh at tRump's or Vance's expense, tRump went Private Snowball…
…minus the military uniform part, naturally.

The allegation that Imane Khelif is a man and/or has XY chromosomes has no basis in reality, yet conservatives have had a field day over the past week over that fake news.

There is *zero proof* that Khelif has XY chromosomes. Absolutely Zero.
You're the one living in a fairytale.
Don't be so gullible.

Either your journalistic competence is weak, or you are unable to overcome your cultural biases to get through the facts here. You should have been able to determine that at the very least Khelif has XY chromozones, and possibly like Caster Semenya, intersex features, which was why Khelif did not appeal the IBA ban imposed last year.

There's no evidence that she has XY chromosomes. Can you provide me a legitimate link to prove me wrong? Thank you.

Oh, they said something without providing proof.
They didn't offer any documentary evidence for such a massive allegation.
Which means that it has no basis in reality, like the couch story.
Oh, by the way, did you know Justin Wilcox has XX chromosomes. We did testing. And we determined that Wilcox is actually a woman. Shocking, right?

Highlights so far:
*Both boxers were initially subjected to a chromosomal test by an independent laboratory in Istanbul after the IBA received complaints from coaches and competitors during the 2022 Women's World Boxing Championships.
*Both boxers were re-tested in India again during the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships to clarify and confirm prior results.
*Both boxers were found to have XY chromosomes.
*Both boxers were informed of the results of the tests in writing.
*Both boxers were given the opportunity to appeal the findings to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
*The IBA offered to pay for the majority of the costs to allow both boxers to appeal.
*Lin Yu-Ting did not appeal the decision.
*Imane Khelif appealed the decision, and then withdrew the appeal."

Thank you Cal88. While it is not 100 certain, that is quite a bit of evidence that Imane has XY chromosomes.
