So the orange skinned draft dodger is trying to dis on Walz's service record saying it's stolen Valor, The man served in the National Guard for 24 years. Cheeto got a doc to say he had bad bone spurs to get out of any kind of service. That shit ain't gonna fly

I like the reaching comment by the right, "he retired from the military right before seeing action!"....like, people aren't allowed to retire from jobs.

"where's trump?" is trending on twittler, sounds like he's moping around marlborolago worrying about losing. also begs the question, where's melania? she's totally MIA

The Dems just need to not even address this at this level.

Just answer “how long is your service record? How many combat tours did you see? Fuck right off then.”

ETA: yeah, the dems need to shut this line of attack down hard, bc the “weapons I carried in war” comment treads the bloody edge of embellishment. He was deployed, but not in a combat zone. He may have carried a weapon, but not in the way his comment implied… (fwiw, that is a civlians take on things of which I have no firsthand knowledge…)

Just out of curiosity - I'd heard they were lambasting Walz for the feminine products in schools legislation... how in the world is the GOP trying to make a case for this being a *bad* thing? I know... I could do my own research. :D

woo JD was a BadAss...not

Mr Vance served for four years in the US Marine Corps. He was deployed to Iraq for about six months in 2005 as a military journalist, although he didn't experience combat. “I was lucky to escape any real fighting,” he said in his 2016 memoir.8 hours ago

I mean - I get all that. But do they actually try to make some *cogent* argument that this program is somehow bad? :think:
I *think* it has to something do with how the wording of the law is written. It says that appropriate products should be made available to all menstruating students in school restrooms. It does not specify a gender/sex for the restrooms, it just says “restrooms”. There were some Republicans who pushed back on that language and wanted the wording to specify “female restrooms” but it was never included because fuck you, and the bill passed without the gender specificity language. My understanding is that it even had several Republican votes. I’m sure a google search would turn up sources, but I’m too tired, lazy, and buzzed to look for the article I read this in at the moment.

So I guess the issue is that a cis-female teen who identifies as male and is going through a transition and uses the boys toilet but still menstrates would need access to those products in that toilet and somehow that’s bad?

I don’t know, conservatives are weird about people’s naughty bits.
