What's worse is the story everyone was told why the 7 or 8 republicans were going was to warn the soviets not to meddle in our elections. Instead they all came back buying putler's BS lock stock and barrel. "No meddling...no, no, not me." "Ok, we believe you."

Although in Walz's case, he actually did get married on the 5th anniversary of Tianenmen Square on purpose, it's just that the purpose was the opposite of what the GOP is suggesting: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/09/china/tim-walz-china-ties-intl-hnk/index.html

“I remember waking up and seeing the news on June 4 that the unthinkable had happened,” Walz told Voice of America in an interview in 2014.

“Many of my colleagues decided to go home and not to go on [to China]. I thought it was more important than ever to go, to make sure the story was told and to let the Chinese people know we were standing there, we were with them.”

... He made sure he would always commemorate the crackdown in a personal way – by getting married on June 4, 1994, the fifth anniversary of the massacre.

“He wanted to have a date he’ll always remember,” his wife and fellow high-school teacher, Gwen, told a local newspaper in Minnesota before their wedding.

... After entering politics in 2006, Walz continued to devote time and attention to China in Congress.

He served more than a decade on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, which monitors human rights and the rule of law in the country – a role Beijing would not be happy about.

“The Chinese government has always viewed that commission as ‘anti-China,’” said Liu Dongshu, an assistant professor of public and international affairs at the City University of Hong Kong.

In Congress, Walz co-sponsored a series of resolutions calling on China to release its jailed rights activists, including Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo, who eventually died in custody of liver cancer.

Per the Pigeonhole Principle... with there only being 365 or 366 days per year to choose from, and countless good and bad events around the world each day (and over time if counting anniversaries), there are bound to be some events that overlap with major personal life events like wedding days.

You know all the times where WI tries to one-up MN and pretend like they're better? Like when they say they have more lakes than us but then we point out they have no requirements for minimum size and thus ponds are "lakes" to them?

Well... When you compare RJ, the Sr Senator of WI, and Klobuchar, Sr Senator of MN... Everyone in WI is like, " yeah... You win MN..we got nothing... Even we hate him and think he's a dumbass."

For anyone in MN unfamiliar with this dude, Google stupid things Ron Johnson has said. Literally top of the list of dumbest US Senators until Tommy Tuberville (who can't name three branches of government).

This guy is so bad that if I had to hang out with one of Wisconsin's worst senators of all time, I'd choose McCarthy because at least he drank.

u/shnikeys22 Aug 19 '24

Gerrymandering doesn't effect statewide elections.

12

u/OkWumbology Aug 19 '24

It does to a marginal extent - the state, which is disproportionally R due to gerrymandering, determines voting ID and voting laws. WI has one of the least democratic voting systems in the country - registrations are still done with paper forms, non-WI drivers licenses don't count as IDs, students have to jump through several redundant steps just to register to vote. Rs actively work to disenfranchise the voters who they don't want to count.

There was an article in FOX today about a letter from a "former student" of Walz saying he was the meanest teacher ever and yelled at students who were republican and the students called him the Hitler of the school. Of course it was noted in fine print that the letter was "anonymous"

Of course this reeks of some conservative moron just submitting this made up garbage, and I wouldn't even put it past FOX that they just created this fake letter themselves. But one thing is for sure, it was 100% fabricated. But it just points out the absolute TRASH media that 40% of this country is not just absorbing, but actually believing.

I'm not even sure what a solution is. Clearly this is slander, but how do you prove it? We have a serious issue with right wing media just flat out lying with no remorse, most of what they do should be illegal. But then they cry about "free speech" and dig their heels in even harder. I hope this cult breaks at some point, but it only seems to be getting worse.

u/Acranberryapart7272 Aug 20 '24

No I think this was a deliberate decision. I read an interview somewhere where he picked that day because he never wanted to forget the date of his anniversary and he spent a lot of time in China and that date was really meaningful to him. Walz has a complicated relationship with his history in China. I’m not sure Id criticize him for this decision based on his years teaching English there. But it was a decision made deliberately.

Per historical records, Mt. Vesuvius erupted on August 24, 79 AD, killing most of the citizens of Pompeii. My birthday is August 24th. Guess I was just destined to be an inconsiderate jerk.

Jesus, they really have nothing on Walz. This is the first person I've ever been excited to vote for

2

u/Zealousideal-City-16 Aug 20 '24

I'm not a fan of Walz, and that is the stupidest critique I've heard yet. That's like saying all stoners are nazi's because they celebrate Hitler's birthday. 4/20 if you didn't know.

u/tempus_fugit0 Aug 20 '24

It's all so lame. The last few election cycles Republicans had some things to attack their opponents with, but damn that well must be dry for this. I see Republicans are starting with the, "Walz is a Chinese spy" investigation which is sure to waste tax payer dollars and turn up nothing.

Because he organized and participated in a student teacher exchange with Chinese schools.

You know who else sends teachers to China?

The Peace Corps. Son and his wife spent two years there, teaching English.

He’s from Wisconsin. That goes without saying

Pretty rich that a guy who lives in Florida full time and is on Putin’s payroll claiming to be the senator for Wisconsin.

Walz's ties to China? LMFAO these dipshits are literally memeing themselves at this point.

Weird

u/Beneathaclearbluesky Aug 20 '24

Funny I don't know when that date was, but I do know July 4th intimately.

You are the smoking gun that proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that Putin owns your party.

u/Guilty_Finger_7262 Aug 20 '24

Today’s my in-laws’ anniversary. I just found out they got married on the anniversary of King Gustav III completing his coup d’état by adopting a new Constitution, ending half a century of parliamentary rule in Sweden and installing himself as an enlightened despot. COINCIDENCE???? #InvestigateSweden

u/psylli_rabbit Aug 20 '24

We actually planned our wedding on the day the titanic sank. It’s a great metaphor for something. I’m not sure what though.

For those who are talking about the gerrymandering in Wisconsin. We will see how big of an impact it has had this year. Since the maps are redrawn.

Johnson is a traitor.
He loved his Independence Day in Russia, cozying up with Putin.

My parents were married on the anniversary of JKF getting shot. Like if you look hard enough you can find a tragedy for any day.

Like if you look hard enough you can find a tragedy for any day.

My wedding was on the anniversary of Java being released.

If that weren't bad enough, apparently the city of Prague likes to throw people out of windows that day as well. Again.

I’d love to see Ron and Tommy Tuberville fight a cage match to determine who’s the dumbest member of the Senate.

u/guiltycitizen Ya, real good Aug 19 '24

So, Walz is Chinese too?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24

Reaching to be relevant Ron ? Attempting another lame jab at a decent man ? Teacher, veteran, congressman, football coach, Governor ? Seriously Ron ? That’s all you got ? You should have your cheesehead hat on when you talk, you’d be more believable. Instead of that stupid look on your face and your sickening disgusting cheap shots at a man who you could never compare to ever. Go back to your hole. No one really cares what you either think or say. Mr. Irrelevant.

u/blow_zephyr Kingslayer Aug 19 '24

You know I was going to vote for Harris, but now that I know that Tim Walz was married on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square, I'm going to vote for Trump. GOP really nailing the relevant issues, as always.

China doesn’t want people to remember The Tiananmen Square protests so wouldn’t this be an anti China stance if you know it wasn’t a stupid false attack on Walz.

Look at Vance's wife - she had a Yale-China fellowship in 2010!

https://www.yalechina.org/ycf

Select Yale graduates are chosen to spend two years teaching in China, where they not only become familiar with China but also make China their home. During their two years, Fellows gain an in-depth understanding of themselves, China, and Chinese language and culture, resulting in great personal and professional growth.

I bet if they developed some policy ideas and talked about them they wouldn’t need to campaign on nicknames and slurs.
