Tim Walz promised a “joyous” Democratic National Convention in a lightning round of brief speeches Monday morning—pointedly not mentioning Donald Trump or JD Vance.
“What we’re going to show America over the next three days is what democracy looks like,” he said in his very first appearance at the event, a breakfast for delegates from Wisconsin. “It’s joyous, it’s inclusive."
“We understand what the alternative is. That doesn’t motivate people. It’s not just beating those guys. It’s about setting a course for our future that’s brighter for everyone.”
Not much longer. Just this week, and its Monday, I’ve seen at least 5 Trump stories all summarized as old man yelling at clouds. I’m not gonna bother reading that shit anymore. There’s nothing that man can say or do that’ll shock me enough to bother reading about it.
Similar with the couches, diapers, ear bandage and seemen glasses. It doesn’t faze me anymore. It’s a one trick circus.
We all have that friend who always one-ups or craves attention by doing or talking about crazy shit you won’t even believe. It stops being outrageous.
Seeing media reporting on it is a lot like seeing an old childhood acquaintance in your birth town telling you about the binge drinking they had at the local bar yesterday. Cool story bro, but I think we grew apart, I have more important stuff to do and I don’t really care about the outrageous shit anymore.
