like he's some fuckin music artist and people don't like his sound or something
Boo... Clap... Just whatever makes sense.
Hard not to hate powermad cretins
It isn't "hating" so much as "understanding who he is as a person"
Yeah, they hate you. That's why they're booing. Maybe consider asking why they hate you and listening to the answer.
I hate ~~Walz~~ Vance and love that he got boo'd. That said, I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal of him calling them "haters". That's literally what that word means. I'm a ~~Walz~~ Vance hater. Many of you are haters. It's a description not a slur.
Edit: Yeah I fucked this one up royally, didn't I lol? Sorry folks.
Walz wasn’t boo’d. JD Vance was
Aww shit. Thanks lol.
The card says moops. I guess GP lives up to his name.
who, by comparison, warmly embraced Walz on Wednesday
This seems like weasel words. Did the firefighters not actually warmly embrace Walz but only treated him better than Vance?
The group, which endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, has yet to make an endorsement, though the Harris campaign has scooped up the support of several of the largest labor groups in the country.
Nothing in the article shows their response to Walz other than that. More stellar "journalism"...
Tim Walz was greeted by applause and no boos. Calling his response “Warm” in comparison to Vance’s is perfectly accurate and more than adequate journalism.
If there is anyone on the planet who gets virtually universal respect, it's fire fighters. To get booed by them is just another example of how much of a piece of shit you are. Like, HUGE turd.
I never heard of a song called "Fuck the Fire Department".
Except they get no respect from the GOP. Look at all the FDNY firefighters that have chronic health issues from working during 9-11 and the GOP refuses to pay for health care. Makes sense they'd get booed.
No songs about, "Fuck the firemen, comin' straight from the underground..."
If you like Firefighters your a SOCIALIST LIBTARD WHO HATES AMERICA!
The right wing in my mom’s town passed a measure to close one of the fire stations (to lower taxes).
Turns out if the fire response times go above a certain threshold, your homeowners insurance goes up by a lot more than the tax cut (I think it saved a couple hundred dollars a year, and added a couple hundred dollars a month to most home insurance in 1/3 of the town).
Once 1/3 of the town realized it, the measures was repealed before the shutdown could happen.
People so stupid it hurts.
Yeah because the GOP has been sooooooo pro-union in all of the times they've ever taken office.
Who can forget the time in the 2000s, when they took away or thought about taking away Overtime.
Who can forget the times when corporations actively worked against their workers and the GOP with every opportunity they've had, were dead quiet for those workers while simultaneously endorsing the actions of those businesses.
Who can forget the time when the GOP shot down the 9/11 Health Bill, basically saying "FUCK YOU" to Firefighters and every emergency personnel involved with that?
"right wing candidate gives speech to union, goes about as expected"
