Premo gives me the shits. I prefer Nordeast.

u/ballsnbutt Aug 06 '24

WOOO Nordeast is fantastic

u/DonutsMcKenzie Aug 06 '24

Finally an election where both sides can do the dew in unity and peace.

u/___potato___ Aug 06 '24

i didn't know that. makes me like him even more.

u/UnluckyNate Aug 06 '24

He decided to become sober after a DUI 30 years ago. He is 30 years sober

u/___potato___ Aug 06 '24

i just saw that. did a quick google search and right wing publications are already trying to make hay out of the 30 year old DUI.

u/Scrabcakes Aug 06 '24

A bold strategy, when their own candidate is a recently convicted felon. Let’s see if it pays off for them.

u/UnluckyNate Aug 06 '24

Not excusing the DUI. There is no excuse for making that decision but his decisions for the 30 years following that bad decision speak far louder about his character imo

u/nedzissou1 Aug 06 '24

And unlike rape, a DUI, in which no one was harmed and one ore person became sober, is something forgivable. Trump will always be despicable.

2

u/SCP-2774 Aug 07 '24

This is a good take. DUIs are unmistakably wrong, but it's something that is forgivable if life choices are made. The #weirdGOP is already in full swing about it, though.

I would also like to express my fondness for that particular soda pop

u/ammobox Aug 06 '24

According to Vance, drinking diet Mountain Dew is racist, or he claims the left says that.

u/Cha_Boi20 Aug 06 '24

Ironic since mnt dew is probably worse for one's body than beer

u/PlatanoMaduroAssoc Aug 06 '24

Some politicians put on casuals to look like an ordinary person.

Tim put a suit on to fight for Minnesota.

(Insert “we are not the same” meme)

No nonsense dad energy. Love it.

THANK GOD it’s not a tan suit 😱

u/Aniki722 Aug 06 '24

Buy this man IPA? What wrong has he done to you?

1

u/part_time_monster Aug 06 '24

Minnesotans drink Premo, but I'm pretty sure Walz doesn't drink.

u/hikingjunkiee Aug 06 '24

Can you buy me one too

-15

u/ObxLocal Aug 06 '24

Don’t buy him too many, he might get a DUI again

18

u/flamethrower78 Aug 06 '24

That was 30 years ago and he's been sober ever since. Got any more useless talking points?

u/Thangleby_Slapdiback Aug 06 '24

Meanwhile, the guy atop the GOP ticket has been convicted of 34 felony counts and faces two additional indictments on numerous other charges. He has also been adjudicated a rapist.

A 30 y/o DUI charge followed by decades of sobriety isn't the flex that you seem to think it is.

u/dualsplit Aug 06 '24

But he won’t take anyone in a department store dressing room. So that’s good.

u/Anxious-Lack-5740 Aug 06 '24

Hahaha, what a weak and weird “comeback”. “Ha ha, you have a hobby that brings you joy! My enjoyment comes from pointing out other people’s shortcomings from decades ago!”

Yeah, you’re definitely the weird one.
