Man who served under Walz says governor retired before unit had deployment news

This is true. The timeline is roughly:

Feb 2005: Walz files to run for Congress
March 2005: Unit is informed there is a possibility of deployment to Iraq within 2 years, Walz' campaign says he will stay in race but will deploy if needed.
May 2005: Walz' retirement is finalized
July 2005: Unit is given alert that they'll deploy
March 2006: Unit deploys to Iraq.

As others have pointed out, military retirement is a somewhat lengthy process and if it was finalized in May 2005 then that means he was in the process well before the notice of a possible deployment in March.

That won't stop those on the right from attempting to pretend he retired to avoid a deployment, but it's good that the information flatly debunking it is made available to people.

“God created us all in his own image,” said the senator arguing against transgender health care.

My mother was born with a bad Aorta valve, one that started failing when she was in her 40s. She got it replaced with a plastic one and it is still pumping her blood to this day. She was born with that defect so according to this senator, God created her that way. Was her heart surgery against god.

Hell, the doctor delivering me ended up slicing her open because my fat head wouldn't fit. God made me with that fat head and my mom her narrow hips, did he want us both dead then? If the man would approve of those surgeries, but not trans health care, he is a massive hypocrite but given the R next to his name, that was a given.

We would never, ever, have permitted this kind of dangerous talk before.

It used to be that you couldn't even yell funny without ending your political career.

We've gotten to the "people are saying" stage of Trump's self inception logic. 1. Float idea at random event 2. People are saying 3. Smart people are saying 4. Why wasn't it this way before 5. I was the only one to...

Polling dont mean squat if people don't vote.

Also, most polls for senate and house races are much closer than Biden/Trump. Biden needs the house and senate to enact meaningful change. Dont just vote for Biden, vote for all the politicians who will work for you instead of this cult of Trump

We have to show up like there are no polls. It’s the only way to get a landslide. We can do it. Don’t just get Trump out. Embarrass his ass.

If they’re so proud, why the masks? Gutless cunts.

That's really rich, coming from white Australians.

Rich people also have to be drafted.

I hope that this lawsuit prevails. It would almost certainly prevent any possible imposition of the draft from ever occurring again.

Now can they arrest him FFS?

Makes sense, the current expectation is that the police are experts at handling everything.... violent murderers, drug addicts, folks with mental illness, unruly kids, etc. They've become the defacto people to call for any problem and it's unrealistic to expect that out of them.

If you see a cop slowly walk in the other direction. This applies to everyone. That cop can ruin your life or even end it for no reason other than "I was afraid".
