If you're OOTL, it's a reference to the Republican posting about being a black nazi on a porn site https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/mark-robinson-black-nazi-porn-forum-1235107129/

13³ and for a moment Macaulay Culkin

[–] David_Eight@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, none of that pussy flex pipe they use now a days. You gotta use hard lines like a real man.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I hear this man typed 10,000 words over several post devoted to black pipe.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 40 points 1 month ago

I like these memes. As someone who is endlessly critical of establishment politicians these are cute and lets me suspend disbelief for a moment; a political meme that isn't funny for its cynicism or sarcasm, but is genuinely wholesome and funny, and doesn't make me angry on any level.

Walz is the dad we all deserve.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

That picture of him with those kids after he signed a bill guaranteeing food at school makes me genuinely happy.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 month ago

Disgusting...He sweats Cooper pipes and cleans out Poop pipes, like POOP, man! So gross! Did you know some of those pipes have pee in them too, and maybe puke? Wtf, walz?

[–] confusedbytheBasics@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

With this post, I think Lemmy has finally arrived.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess you haven't seen the truthabouttimwalz community yet

It seems I already blocked it so I don't have the link. It's a community for posts just like this.

I only blocked it because I found the posts a bit repetitive.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I could totally see Tim Walz popping up in the Adult Friend Finder e-mail leak. He'd be there literally befriending fellow adults.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's an adult. And he wants to find friends.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He once went to Ashleymadison because he was trying to get in touch with an old buddy named Ashley who lived in Madison and accidentally tapped when scrolling Google.

There were never any Mario games on Dreamcast.

Those look like the worst gloves ever sold.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Those are the pipe fondlers.

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Just curious if there is actually anything bad about this guy. Seriously, what's the worst thing you have heard about him?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Despite using the surname Walz, he's actually not a very good dancer.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's because Walz ≠ Waltz.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Yet another of his lies

[–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago

The English spelling confuses me, it's "Walzer" in German

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Apparently he had a DUI at one point

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah and then he quit drinking and stuck with it and tried to quit his teaching job because he felt like he would no longer be a good rolemodel for his students. While the DUI is bad, he handled it in about the most responsible way possible.

Crazily, statistically, every seventh person you meet in Minnesota has had a DUI.

statistically, every seventh person you meet in Minnesota has had a DUI.

I did the math and if you include every DWI from 1998-2017 you get ~11% of people. Though this isn't accounting for the same driver getting caught multiple times so it's probably lower.

(counted the total to be 635,818)

That's genuinely a LOT higher than I thought it would be. Its ~1/10 and probably less if you include reoffenders but that's insane.

Also note that the punishment for getting caught for DWI in mini-soda is pretty light

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You may be right, but only counting DUIs from a 19-year timeframe means you're not capturing a LOT of DUIs when you "did the math." You're likely missing enough to make the number about, oh, 1 in 7.

I was directly relaying what the Minnesota Department of Health said in 2021.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I heard he doesn't have any public banking account and it was sketchy... or something idk, got that from some random person at work

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The issue isn't that he posted on the hardcore plumbing advice forum, it's that he spent time on it talking about food waste management.

Tim Walz: "I'm a Minnestoan composter."

The monster.

Bro, NSFW that shit, my boss almost saw!

[–] trumpetmouth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

THATS IT! IT IS TIME TO FLUSH TIM WALZ OUT. ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER DEMTARDS.
