Some info about the stolen valor comments:

Left national guard after two decades to run off public office

Eustice says he remembers Walz struggling with the timing of wanting to serve as a lawmaker but also avoiding asking for a deferment so he could do so.

"He had a window of time. He had to decide. And in his deciding, we were not on notice to be deployed. There were rumors. There were lots of rumors, and we didn't know where we were going until it was later that, early summer, I believe,” Eustice told ABC News.

Also, he did carry weapons of war and “in war”, unless someone wants to correct this.

Walz deployed with the Minnesota National Guard to Italy on Aug. 3, 2003, to support Operation Enduring Freedom, according to the Minnesota Guard. The battalion supported security missions at various locations in Europe and Turkey, according to the Guard, and Walz was stationed in Vicenza, Italy, until returning to Minnesota in 2004. He did not deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan.

So, in fact he did carry weapons in war. Why are people saying he didn’t?

He's borderline the ideal version of what a family man looks like even in their own version of reality. He's a white independently successful retired military, churchgoing, family man. Good luck with that one, couch fuckers.

Maybe don't make your whole political strategy about tearing people down and try to actually run candidates who are better in some measurable way

it's hard to paint someone as a villain when you're literally supporting donald trump.

Also Republicans: screaming themselves hoarse about an Algerian woman boxer.

The weird get weirder and I'm loving this VP pick. What a 180 from just a few weeks ago, when a lot of us thought the Democrats were just going to march into a very likely loss with Biden as the nominee...most people now laugh when JD is the topic and a couch reference is made and the Republicans are proving themselves to a bunch of creepy weirdos on the daily.

I find that hard to believe. If they can’t find something true they’ll just make up something horrific and make him a villain out of that

... because he's not a villain

If Jesus were her running mate they'd find some way to double down on 'Democrats bad' by making a new hyper Christianity that's even more theocratic and fascist.
