Damn he stooped to their level. Walz really should have gotten that under control |

You don't listen to Trump, Vance or any other R leader, do you? You just described them.
And Trump loved the way Walz handled Minneapolis. So was Trump wrong? |
Yep he was then. What a disastrous handling though I respect Trump trying to reach across the aisle to the guy who lied about being in a warzone repeatedly |
So you respect Trump for being wrong and not admitting it? But you don't respect Walz for 24 years of service, reaching the highest level of civil National Guard rank ever? never mind the face the NG was never meant to be deployed overseas to begin with Bush/Chaney needed more bodies than the standard service had available, and since a draft would been political suicide so they changed the rules and sent the NG to Iraq.
And since the right loves saying we take Trump out of context all the time, then you can appreciate when it happens the other way too. Here is the quote that the right is all up in arms, pun intended, about.
“We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,”
'That I carried in war'. Poor choice of wording which should have said 'wartime'. He carried the weapons in question. They all did. My wife did (an E-6 in the USAF, my brother still does (a WO1 in the USNG), his wife (an E-7 in the Army), etc.. Pretty much every soldier, especially the NG, carries these weapons. His point wasn't that he was on the front lines but they are weapons intended for war, not civilian or hunting use.
And don't start with Vance being in Iraq. Vance was there the same way Tom Cruise's character from Edge of Tomorrow was in war...he was in the Public Affairs department. He never touched war. So sail that stolen valor BS up the same De Nang river as the Swiftboat lies from 2004.
