For the love of god, nobody tell Kristi Noem. She gets a bit trigger happy around loveable, innocent creatures.
Literally every single thing I've learned about Tim Walz has been super uplifting.
Only detraction is the DUI. Probably would have been a bigger deal before 2016.. now we have felons running for president.
Judging by how it happened, he had a bad experience with cops, which he will likely remember.
I legit have hope. It fells nice
You mean to tell me Minnisodans haven't had dogs before? I don't fuckin' believe ye!
Really happy that Minnesota got their first dog.
More people should know about dogs.
785/10. Would pet.
What’s his secret service bite count so far?
JD Vance
I read that as the first dog ever in Minnesota and was very confused until I recognized the name
Same! Well, almost. I read "First Dog". I understood what "First Dog" was supposed to mean. But for some reason my brain processed it as "first First Dog" and I was amazed no other governor in Minnesota had a dog, until I realized it just said "First" once.
Damn, Walz feels like the first human being up for office in I don’t know how long. IMO Sanders was pretty real, but he has a lot of institutional weight and history behind him. I thought Fetterman was close, but he’s not who we thought he was going to be. There may have been others I can’t think of off the top of my head, but they just didn’t make an impression.
I’m sure the press has a lot to do with what we see of Walz, but everything I’m seeing so far really just makes him seem like “one of us”. Literally taking care of the average person, having a rescue dog and not some breed ans a statement, etc.
As a Minnesotan I just have to say that I am so fucking happy that you all are giving him this reception. I was woried that when he got this position people would seem him as just some flyover state grandpa nobody cared about.
But you all seem to love him as much as we have here and it really gives me so much hope for this country. Like literally brings a tear to my eye.
My opinion as a german probably doesn't really matter, but this guy as well as Kamala are giving me hope again that the world might not have gone completely mad. Also if this works out for you guys I hope the german party system is paying attention.
Since Jimmy Carter, I'd imagine
Obviously a DEI hire.
You joke, but after the things they've come up with so far to attack Harris and Walz with, I wouldn't even be a little surprised if some Newsmax flunkie said that. Or just criticized Walz for getting a rescue rather than buying an inbred purebred dog from a puppy mill.
I'm seriously waiting for someone at Fox News to mention that it's a black dog. it's inevitable.
Here's the time that Scout managed to get himself locked inside a room in the governor's mansion and the fire department needed to come rescue him. https://www.today.com/pets/minnesota-governor-dog-locked-bedroom-rcna122484
that picture of the dog 🥰
Aww. Poor Scout. We have to keep our big dog out of the kitchen with a gate so our little dog can eat his food before the big one eats it (he has a hole he can go through), but occasionally we forget we let her into the kitchen. 20 minutes later, we'll see her silently standing by the gate, patiently waiting to be let out.
