#15  I seem to remember Dayton bugging out of Washington when things got touchy. What's with these Minnesota governors?

#12  On September 17th, 2004, Walz was conditionally promoted, or frocked, to Command Sergeant Major. When a service member is conditionally promoted or frocked, it means that while they rate the title of Command Sergeant Major and could wear that rank, they are not entitled to the pay yet. When Walz was given that promotion, he signed and initialed the Statement of Agreement and Certification for the USASMA, which meant that if Walz failed to comply with the conditions, his promotion would be null and void as if it never happened.

When Walz and his battalion received warning orders that he, along with the battalion, would need to prepare for activation and mobilization for deployment to Iraq in early 2005, Walz committed the ultimate sin. He quit on his soldiers.

On May 16th, 2005 he quit, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war. His excuse to other leaders was that he needed to retire in order to run for congress. Which is false, according to a Department of Defense Directive, he could have run and requested permission from the Secretary of Defense before entering active duty; as many reservists have. If he had retired normally and respectfully, you would think he would have ensured his retirement documents were correctly filled out and signed, and that he would have ensured he was reduced to Master Sergeant for dropping out of the academy. Instead he waited for the paperwork to catch up to him. His official retirement document states, SOLDIER NOT AVAILABLE FOR SIGNATURE.

On September 10th, Tim Walz was demoted and reduced in rank to Master Sergeant. He abandoned and walked away from his soldiers and his solemn responsibility to lead and take care of them. According to Behrends and Herr, Walz is hiding that part of the information from the public in an attempt to fool the electorate.

#10  sadly for Kamala, this probably won't clinch the pro Hamas vote

to do that, the Democrats may have to change the party platform

#7  Couldn't have a Jew on the ticket with so many muzzies in swing states.

#6  Shapiro was too ambitious and way too smart to be alongside Kamala. He would show her up every time they were together. No way her insecurity would let that happen. Walz is a boot licking toady, just what she needs.

#5  The PA Gov a feint, or were there a bunch of unapproving phone calls over the weekend?

#4  ^Never mind. The important thing is that Judas Shapiro is not VP.

#3  Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her VP pick per reports. Tim Walz is anti-police, pro-marijuana far left politician who is favored by the Muslim community in Minnesota. Waltz also tried to out run a Nebraska State Trooper once and after finally pulling over failed a sobriety test, registering .128 on the test, but the charge was reduced to reckless driving. Believes in child grooming (transvestiting minors), etc, etc, etc..

#2  Ah yes, the 2 biggest facilitators of the Floyd riots together on one ticket. A deliberate choice. Any ideas what this portends?
