Wait, wait. I'm confused. Is Vance trying to act like he was in actual combat when he was a military journalist? Isn't that stolen valor?

Which is bullshit because it seemed to be implied that Dottie sort of dropped the ball on purpose when Kitt steamrolled her ass at home plate.

I think you read the sequence of events in the movie backwards, although the framing makes it seem like that's the implication. The movie opens with Dottie telling her boy that it's important for his brother to win every once in a while, which seems to foreshadow the end and indicates she dropped it on purpose. But that scene is actually in the "present," and chronologically takes place long after she dropped the ball. In the past, when the movie is set, Dottie *never* lets Kit win, at anything, her entire life. And Kit was actually a pretty impressive person in her own right, and should have had lots of accolades, except that she was constantly overshadowed. And going into that final at bat, she indicates she fully is ready to do it again. But when Kit actually pulls it off, and wins the game, Dottie sees how much it means to Kit, and realizes the importance of putting competition aside when your family. It wasn't until she saw Kit get a moment in the sun that she realizes she was destroying their relationship.

It's actually backwards: Her dropping the ball set in her mind that letting your sibling win every once and a while is a good thing, not the other way around.

I think he was technically a correspondent.  Probably something like Lieutenant Steven Hauk.

And I will say to Jewish voters just like I would say to the pro-Palestine set...it's not about you, you narcissistic fucks. It's about fucking beating them because if they win, you will suffer. Everything you care about will suffer.

Get over it. It’s not anti semitic because they didn’t pick a Jew. They didn’t pick Pete, was it anti gay? They didn’t pick Whitmer, anti-women? Didn’t pick Beshear, age discrimination? Didn’t pick Pritzker, anti-rich or anti-fat?

I'm just going to observe that, even assuming that the necklace did cost $62,000, her husband was a fucking partner at DLA Piper.

Yeah--I think he can afford to buy his wife some nice bling.

don't give the issue any air. they are looking for something, anything, to stick and it just isn't.

You know what probably pisses off a lot of jewish voters? Hanging around literal neo nazis like Nick Fuentes. Say, I wonder which of the candidates did just that.

I'm guessing it would take all of 10 minutes to find photos of Usha Vance wearing a Cartier neckless or Oscar De La Renta dress.  Or JD sitting on a Louis Vuitton Bombaca Sofa.  Link

Flag nerds... enjoy

 

I'll bet JD uses very expensive eyeliner...more expensive than the average woman could afford.    Somebody should look into that.

The whole military thing pisses me off to the core, especially to enlisted.  Soldiers, airmen and sailors get put into a position of need all the time before they get a chance to check all the required boxes.  And I’m not strictly taking battlefield promotions or commissions.

Some of those positions have a required rank that goes along with it.  Are they going to start calling out 3 and 4 star generals?  On paper most them are supposed to revert to Brigadier/Major Generals upon leaving the office that brings the extra stars with it.  

Fuck all the way off with things you don’t understand, especially to an enlisted man with over 20 years.

One of the chief critics is a guy named Behrends that allegedly took his place as a SM during the deployment to Iraq, before which Walz resigned to run for Congress.

Apparently, Behrends didn't make CSM either (never got the promotion, much less didn't complete the coursework) and is salty about it.

It’s pretty common to retire a level below your highest attained rank either due to not completing coursework or deployment to a certain duty or an agreed upon extension to your retirement date, etc. It’s a big deal only in that it affects your retirement benefits package, nothing else

So regarding the stolen valor comment...or is it stollen valor?  Vance attributes this quote to Walz: "We shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war to be on America's streets."  Then says that Walz never went to war and bailed on his unit just before they were to be deployed.

Only problem is that I can't find any reference to Walz ever saying that.  Shocking I know. 

I have a feeling this is how Dems will feel the morning after the election. A ticket that finally goes on the offensive after the party has been taking it on the chin from the other sides for decades.

This feels accurate. Fox News has melted my grandpa’s brain the last 20 years. 

My dad grew up in rural Minnesota, is incredibly handy, paid his way to technical school and gave us a comfortable and caring upbringing. He is so like Tim Walz in many ways, yet very likely is disgusted by him, for reasons I will make him articulate before this election.

What are you going to do to bring down rent prices for my kids?

This is such a stupid fucking question. (Notwithstanding the even stupider fucking answer).

Well I don’t know dipshit. Rents and prices are high because owners care about keeping the value of their real estate up. How about you try to start a trend by selling your house for 2/3rds what it’s worth to help some kid.

Oh, don’t like that idea? You’d rather have the government solve your problem? Fuck you you socialist fuck.

He actually did say it:

But I don't give a shit. Talk about missing the forest from the trees, the dude's entire point is those guns are used by military in war, not at home.
