Dom — bit of a stretch to say he served.
While he was in high school, Josh Shapiro was required to do a service project, which he and several classmates completed through a program that took them to a kibbutz in Israel where he worked on a farm and at a fishery,” Shapiro’s spokesperson Manuel Bonder told The Times of Israel.
The program also included volunteering on service projects on an Israeli army base. At no time was he engaged in any military activities,” Bonder added in a statement responding to an inquiry regarding the nature of his volunteer work.
mdgoonah41 it looks like its down to walz, shapiro and kelly. hopefully the shapiro leaks were just a trial balloon to see how the left would respond, hopefully she saw the potential negativity, and she will settle on walz. we'll know tomorrow at least.
Someone draw me a diagram of this:
The extremely negative non-farm payroll figures sparked a wave of concern about the possibility of achieving a hard landing in light of rising interest rates.
this tweet indicates that some of the jobs stuff may be temporary/related to a natural disaster. not sure if the stock market, which is basically a lightly regulated casino, has factored that in

A very powerful, maybe even the most powerful, figure within the Democratic party. Sounds like she was the one who was able to twist his arm enough to get him to drop out.
its so easy to get swept up in the insanity of politics and the day to day tick tock of it all, then you see a headline like this and realize that the biggest existential crisis in the history of mankind is literally right in front of our eyes and people are just so preoccupied with the drama they are failing to understand the gravity of it all
mdgoonah41 its walz. thank god she avoided the shapiro landmine
mdgoonah41 bit like Game of Thrones isn't it? The white walkers and winter is coming, folks are here fighting over Iron Throne and pushing stupid agendas
flobaba pretty much, yeah
Trump and Vance suddenly look like the low energy campaign. The 'weird' attack line really works.
Claudius i literally read this like 4 times trying to understand how it fit in here before realizing that you likely posted it in the wrong thread. lmao
Haha me too
Don't know much about Walz, but he reminds me of any one of my kajillion aunts and uncles in Melbourne. They're pretty variable quality wise, but at least they're vaguely real people.

walz' media blitz took him from VP outsider to front runner in the space of a few weeks. thats pretty impressive, and shows he can put the dems on the front foot. he's also being praised as a strong pick by AOC, manchin, Pelosi, and everyone in between, which shows he can be a unifier/energiser across the whole spectrum of the democratic party
They're all the same, politicians - liars and panderers. Media giving Kamala and her merry band a free ride/pass so far, but 3 months is a long time in politics. Just a few weeks ago Trump was inevitable. Martyr, Victim and Strongman Savior. Now he's chatting about people's wives and struggling to regain attention.
Let's see how this new energy ticket holds up after the honeymoon period passes.
Trump must laugh all the way to the bank when people keep saying he's no worse than anyone else no matter what he does.
