Tim Walz’s stop to purchase donuts went viral amid comparisons to J.D. Vance’s inability to do the same thing.
After Republican vice presidential pick J.D. Vance went viral last week for being extraordinarily awkward at a donut shop in Georgia, Democrat Tim Walz had to poke fun at him during a snack stop in Pennsylvania.
Pursuing sweets like whoopie pies and donuts at Cherry Hill Orchards in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Walz slid in a joke while speaking to voters.
“Look at me, I have no problem picking out donuts.”
Wait, so you don't order donuts by first stating your name, then asking every employee in the store who makes eye contact "How long have you worked here"?
Thanks to you I finally decided to watch the video of him donut shopping and it didn't seem that bad. Just some out of touch rich guy struggling to make small talk.
But nowhere near the level of couch-fucking weird everyone's been claiming.
So yeah I guess it would be better if he were a total sociopath and could more convincingly fake excitement during small talk?
The part that made the video bad wasn't his behavior, it was how clearly the staff knew it was a meaningless publicity stunt. The staff has enough braincells to know that this guy's policies, if elected, would do nothing to make their lives better, and that they are just pawns to make him look like he appeals to common folk. This is not something specific to this candidate, but his entire party.
They should've just declined him as a customer, or insisted that no recording at all could be done on their property. That would have sent a clearer message to him, unless you think the existence of this video helps the Kamala campaign because they will overreact to it and add it to the "he's weird" pile. I agree he's probably that bad kind of weird (I believe all Republicans are either so rich and selfish it is indistinguishable from being straight up evil, are racist, or being blackmailed) , but I don't see that being demonstrated in the video.
I kind of like how they've realised that against Narcissists and Freaks like Trump and Vance, only taking the high road won't get you anywhere. You've got to throw in roughly 30% piss them off with sass.
It's an old expression for shitting yourself.
Later renamed Xitter the X pronounced as Sh, to reflect relations with authoritarianism like the Chinese leader XI. (Pronounced Shi or Pedo Bear.)
I'm trying my best to be impartial but I can't not notice the main difference is how out of touch one is compared to the other. They live in different worlds.
Why are those people in the Trump campaign so disgusting?
In the article we only have to scroll a little to see the video:
JD Vance trying to order doughnuts
She clearly asked not to be filmed, yet they post the video with her in it.
Note that this is clearly illegal in civilized countries like for instance EU, but I don't know about USA?
Zero protection of personal space, yet stand your ground allow white to shoot black people!?!?
What a fucking shithole country!
Not as robust as EU. but we do have privacy laws and if she didn't sign a release, they're in trouble for doing that. Unfortunately as we've seen, nothing will be done.
