Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz mocked Donald Trump Thursday for his clumsy garbage truck gimmick.
“This dude’s nearly 80-years-old,” Walz said at a campaign event in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. “He damn near killed himself getting into a garbage truck.”
The crowd laughed at the Democrat’s reference to a Wednesday incident involving the Trump campaign’s attempt at retribution over President Joe Biden’s garbage gaffe that inflamed MAGA supporters. The GOP nominee donned an orange safety vest and planned a ride in a Trump-branded garbage truck.
So biden’s “gaffe”.
I’m just gonna go ahead say he should have been like “I said what I said. You got a problem with that?”
Trump supporters are awful people. Period. Full stop. You cannot be a good person, or even a not-bad person and support trump. He is directly responsible for the deaths of over 1 million Americans. He is an insurrectionist. He is a rapist. A liar. A business fraud. A cheat. He’s blatantly racist.
If you support trump, you support a fascist. That makes you a fascist. It is as simple as that.
It’s obvious the not-actually-a-joke made Biden angry. Some things should make you angry.
The reason it is dumb is because, with a close race, getting your base out to vote is important, and this can be used as a rallying cry. It’s just like insulting your opponent before some sporting even and it’s used a locker room fodder to rule people up.
We learned in 2016 with the deplorable comments, which was accurate, was a mistake. This is a mistake too, no matter how accurate you think it is.
It can also fire up your base.
Lets. It forget that Biden was responding to a speaker at Trump’s MSG rally calling Puerto Rico garbage.
What idiot decided the democrats needed to pull their punches while trump and the republicans get to call america garbage? Or any of the actually-vile shit they spew on a regular basis?
Trump is a fascist. Period. Full stop. Anyone who supports him is also a fascist. And fascists are garbage human beings.
Besides which, they were already out voting. They can’t vote any harder.
It might work that way, or help shutting up the people that say “Harris is the same as Biden”
It might also not be a wise strategy to insult the people you hope to change their minds to stay at home or vote for them. Every single vote is important.
Insult trump and his cronies but not the American people that you built your whole campaign around.
I don’t think it was a gaffe at all. It may have been a Freudian slip, but he said what he meant. I’m disappointed he back tracked and Harris supported that, but such is the game of politics.
I’mma go out on a limb and say that Trump has never emptied a garbage can in his entire life.
Let alone open a door.
Hold on just a minute now, I’m sure he must have emptied himself at least once.
It doesn’t count when it’s in the pants and handlers have to clean you up.
Involuntarily, if so.
And probably on stage
Trump is a garbage man. He’s a garbage delivery man.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. How squeaky clean must the guy be if the worst thing you can say about him is “oMg hE’S tOo oLD to PLay vIDEo gAMeS!!1”
Absolutely solid VP pick
Can you not make a fool of yourself for five minutes, colonialist? Sheesh!
Through the magic of blocking, yes.
Blocking trolls and infiltrators just helps them
I’m 55 and really like my Steam Deck
Plenty of 60-year-olds play games. They were in their 20’s and 30’s as gaming matured. The N64 and PS1 target audience was people who are now in their 50’s and 60’s.
That’s me!
Well, some of us were already into the PC master race direction and didn’t fall for the consoles. :D
I thought Tim Walz’s stream was fun. But I would, being 56 and OLD.
My neighbor was in his 40s and taught me how to play DOOM back in the 90s. If he hadn’t died of lung cancer he’d be in his 70s now. Like, one of my family’s best memories is playing Rock Band one Christmas, three generations of us all hanging out and taking turns. Games are for everyone.
My dude…video games have existed for half a century now… he was probably playing plenty of Atari in his youth. OMG do you actually think kids and teens are the only ones playing them in 2024? Have you been living under a rock since the 90s?
there are people that have never played video games in their lives. The ones I met also don’t see how watching netflix all day or just being glued to the phone are exactly the same when you simplify it. Bright panel of pixels that trick you into feeling emotions. Method of entertainment alone or with friends.
That’s the best you got? The other VP candidate wants women to be slaves to their rape babies, but Walz is “too old” for video games?
You’re a fucking farce.

Oh, my mistake.
That’s the best you got? The other VP candidate wants women to be slaves to their rape babies, but Walz is
“too old” for video gamesgiving off “how do you do fellow kids” vibes?Now I understand how your point is valid and the two are totally comparable.
Dude, he was 35 when the Dreamcast came out in North America. Hardly a “fellow kids” situation.
Dude…He fucking signed into law that fed kids.
If anything, he’s earned it.
I hope you have the most boring elderly years - filled with procedural crime dramas and dry toast with cottage cheese. And absolutely no thinking about anything remotely fun!
Hey cottage cheese on toast is great, that’s my breakfast most days. With pepper and nutritional yeast usually.
aahhh, yeast. The thing I miss most, with fresh olives
Hey look a dipshyt in the wild!
Well obviously when you put it right against liar, fraud, rapist, convicted felon, it sounds tame… but who knows ! 5 days left to discover he uses emacs ! or worse, Windows ! imagine the scandal
