Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz looked to the gridiron to push his vision for politics on Sunday as he and Vice President Kamala Harris dropped by a high school football team’s practice in western Pennsylvania on Sunday.
Harris’ running mate ― a former high school football coach in Minnesota ― told the squad at Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School that politics have been “pretty ugly” and “pretty negative,” adding that he fears young people will turn away from it rather than turning into it.
“Politics isn’t so much different than this,” declared Walz, who was a defensive coordinator when he helped lead the Mankato West varsity team from a reputation of losing to a state championship in the late 1990s.
He continued, “It’s about something bigger than themselves. It’s about setting a future goal and trying to reach it. It’s about doing it with dignity and hard work. It’s about doing it with humility and when you lose, you walk across the field, you shake hands with the other team and know they played hard, too. But we’re all in it together to try and make it better.”
Walz then described the fourth quarter of a football game at the high school where “somebody has to step up” before teammates realize that they trust each teammate to the side of them.
“Our country’s not that different,” Walz said as he addressed the team on their field.
“Our neighbors wanna be with ya, our neighbors wanna do what’s right and the more we figure out that we’re in this thing together and we have more in common than we have separated, we’re gonna do a heck of a lot better.”
Social media users praised Walz for comparing politics and football, noting that such a speech shows him to be a “stunning speaker and communicator.”

Dude is a stunning speaker and communicator. Superb choice for VP. He's not bringing one particular state, in the traditional fashion, but a whole demographic who'll now feel reckoned with. Combined with Kamala's smarts and presidential vision, this is an amazing ticket.

This man is effortlessly linking Democratic party values to the emotional foundations of American football culture as part of a Presidential campaign.
If I had read it in a screenplay, I’d have told you that it’s a lovely feel good story, but such a politician doesn’t exist.

This is absolutely unreal. He touches on almost every major theme, stuff we haven’t even gotten to. Defending politics as something positive is deeply, powerfully strategic. Tapping into old magic here. x.com

They are more angry at Black people and the possibility of a BW having any kind of power more than what's going on in Palestine, and who did she vote for in England? Because none of the politicians over there are requesting a cease fire.

BREAKING: Conservative Republican Former Judge J. Michael Luttig, a man who has never voted Democrat before in his life and has never endorsed any Democrat, just endorsed Kamala Harris for President.
He said: “In the presidential election of 2024 there is only one political party and one candidate for the presidency that can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law. As a result, I will unhesitatingly vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.
“Because of the former president’s continued, knowingly false claims that he won the 2020 election, millions of Americans no longer have faith and confidence in our national elections, and many never will again. Many Americans – especially young Americans, tragically – have even begun to question whether constitutional democracy is the best form of self-government for America.”

Just in the last 48 hours, Donald Trump:
-Insulted Medal of Honor recipients
-Said he wants to be "friendly" with Iran
-Boasted about how he gets along with dictators
-Lost track of what state he was in
-Said he's "better looking" than VP Harris
-Said climate change is good because it will give us more beachfront property.
-Repeated the lie that he won the 2020 election
-Mocked and mispronounced the names of journalists
Dear Republicans, it's not too late to get off the Trump train.

The Georgia Election Board convened this morning at 9 am to consider several proposed rule changes, including one that would require hand counting of GA ballots. 1/
2/11
Another proposed rule they are weighing this morning would allow any individual county election board member to request any and all election-related documentation before certifying county-level results. 2/
3/11
Currently, we're hearing public comments from those who oppose these proposed rules. Wanda Mosely of Black Voters Matter just powerfully told the board, "With democracy on the ballot, you would think this body would be concerned . . . but instead, your actions suggest otherwise." 3/
4/11
A Forsyth County elections administrator is now telling the board that their proposed rule to require hand count of paper ballots by precinct is needless "busy work." 4/
5/11
And we're now hearing from Lynne Durham, a Gwinnett County resident who says she's in the political middle, but objects to the board's refusal to define the term "reasonable," which she says will result in "chaos" come November. "History has its eyes on you," she ends. 5/
6/11
What's notable about today's meeting is that many of the commenters are veteran election administrators, whose concerns are practical, not partisan. One just objected, for example, that the "chain of custody could be compromised" by requiring that so many hands touch the ballots.
7/11
Another county election administrator said one of the rules under consideration would set "159 counties up for failure" as well as additional costs that some counties cannot afford.
8/11
We've moved on to public comments on a rule proposed by Fulton County Commissioner Bridget Thorne that would "reconcile" the number of votes and the number of voters. She has brought with her three lawyers, including Ken Cuccinelli, who has not yet spoken.
9/11
Cuccinelli told the board he didn't "want to dwell on 2020 at all, because the other side was complaining in 2016, and . . . it's whoever loses complains," suggesting the 2020 election denialism was equivalent to concerns raised in 2016.
10/11
He continued, "I will tell you from my old prosecutor days, the best way to avoid problems is to make it clear to folks that you will catch the problems and fix them . . . [and] you'll hold people accountable."
11/11
We're now hearing from Salleigh Grubbs, the chair of Cobb County's GOP, who insists that the proposed reconciliation rule would do nothing more than GA law requires before complaining about the other side's "talking points" filtering down to county election officials.

I told y'all what he did back in 2020 putting his name on the checks was genius because of this.
Trump wins, it isn't happening again. 1 because it was a once in a century pandemic and 2 it took Trump long to even say yes... he ain't saying yes again.
