The big joke for Walz is him saying the Reublicans have no sense of humor. Now, Tim Conway playing Tim Walz could probably land a lot of physical, pratfall, "I'm a dumbass" jokes , because he'd have a ton of material to sort through and get the funniest arts. The real Tim Walz is hopeless at comedy, like all Commies.

And did you notice his sour-faced wife and how she's sitting? I think she REALLY wants to "TURN THE PAGE!!"

I think Tim Walz definitely thought he was being funny because his audience being the typical bitter husks of progressives, schadenfreude over Elon Musk is the ultimate joy. See, Elon committed the crime of apostasy in the progressive worldview by deviating on free speech, so now everything bad that happens to him either directly or tangentially is funny and good! Grimes airing out their dirty laundry on Twitter: funny! Tesla stock drops: funny! A SpaceX rocket explodes: very funny! A SpaceX Dragon capsule burns up on re-entry with astronauts inside: would have been very funny if theat wily old Elon had failed that time, but he didn't, so lets get mad instead!

Trump foibles aside, it's a blessing that none of those people are in a position of power anymore

You know what's extra funny = Twitter is now valued at $44B and owns xAI and Musk owns 54% of xAI which is valued at $75B, so since buying Twitter, Musk has fired 80% of those emloyees, got his $44B back, and has gained another $40.5B since.

Just a dumb ol' businessman.

It's surreal how easily progressives can be flipped like a light switch to hate someone who for years they adored like, Elon. Walz and his other nutjob friends all talk and think like this and probably thought this "joke" was frightfully funny when they were backstage before the rally. Then they pull the ultimate beta-male routine of "Hey, I was just joking" when they said something offensive and don't have the balls to apologize. So totally on brand for democrats.

Walz is a total joke himself. Elon owns less than 13% of Tesla. If anything, the joke is on everyone with retirement accounts who need that money - and I promise this is not funny to them! Elon doesn’t need a nickel of it, and he’d still be one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Walz, on the other hand, is famously NOT financially well off - for clearly obvious reasons. I’m not really sure he has enough sense to manage a CVS, let alone our federal government. If I owned a company, I wouldn’t let him near it, except as a customer!

And Jorg: great idea to have Tim Conway play Tim Walz. Unfortunately I think we are a decade or so late for that, but excellent idea! I would pay to see that!

My question is - WHO are the ppl in the audience that came to see him?? Are we supposed to glean from this appearance that he wants to continue to in politics after his governship is over?

Yes. Where can he go. He robably cant win Tina Smith Senate seat, he cant go back to the House, he cant go back to teaching or coaching, which dont ay enough. He robably wont get cushy seats on boards of directors. He needs to run for office the olitical donatons can our in and he can grift that to handle his bills.

I really can't stand people who say stupid shit, or something wildly offensive and insulting, then the moment it leaves their big fat mouth, they chase it with a "just kidding!" It's weak, it's lame, and it's a whole lot of other things I can say right now but don't have the verbiage of a professional like my man, Jim, here. I just despise that type of person. Mostly because I was bullied mercilessly in high school, and my bully would pull that trick all the time. It raises a massive amount of bile in my throat which I need to choke back.
