MAGA troglodytes attack Walz's son

[The Hammer]

What's dense is putting ones child in an environment that he's just not ready for as opposed to your sanctimonious tirade.

Oh yes. Absolutely. Squirrel away the child in the home because Gods forbid he be there to support his father during an important time.

He shouldn't be there because he has a learning disability? Because he's 17? Please. The only thing going on here is you trying to cover up your BS as reasonable.

Don't bother.

Ann Coulter's entire career is built on cruelty. This is what she does, she says mean things and makes a lot of money doing it.

Sadly, far too many Americans lap it up -- while all the while pretending to be Christian and loving family values.

Crikey, Gus's expression of pride in his dad, so strong it brought tears to his eyes and forced his mouth into "that's my dad," speaks volumes about who has the "family values." And the prize goes to Tim Walz and his family.

Continue on with your tirade.

Continue on with your tirade.

Absolutely will. Not that I needed your permission.

 

[The Hammer]

You just keep showing people your true colors.

No, it's on hateful scum to realize they are being terrible people for not just making fun of a child with a disability, but making fun of his condition.

I agree it's low key and immature on part of hecklers, but getting ones child to prepare first for the realities of being in a public spotlight and developing a teflon skin is also proper because ones parents are not going to be be around forever.

I think it was a good first experience for the young man. Crying is expected at this point and clearly is a good learning experience for him.

Of course. Please continue then. ;0)

This time, even I'm having trouble believing you're for real! He's 17 years old and his only issue is a learning problem that is not stopping his growth into a decent person. He's perfectly capable of attending such an important even in support of his father.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I certainly hope so. I want people to be tough , capable, and be able to endure in this world.

He's a minor. He's a kid. 17 year olds aren't fully developed or matured, legally they aren't adults and they are regarded as juvenile.

And I guess that's why they can join the military.

 

[Soandso]

And I guess that's why they can join the military.

Or smoke cigarettes, smoke weed, drink, or have sex with someone much older than they are legally. They're still kids

Edit: oh wow. I thought you said "can't." I didn't realize the age to join the military was 17. I thought it was 18

Well in that case I look forward to his improved composure and developing his strengths to withstand public pressure. A plus in handling his disability.

Yeah, children are allowed to be in the military. Weird concept huh?

I joined as a child of 19. Some as young as 17 can waiver in, sure.

Something to think about though is, is this ethically in the right?

That's a separate topic for a separate thread.

I can only say when I was young it was a very good experience, everything didn't work out stellar in every way, but i can say it was a life-changing event has helped me out immensely in later years.

Plus you can smoke, and drink, and get into fights! I was absolutely terrified of those things lol!

A 17 year old cannot just walk into a recruitment office and enlist.

Join the merchant marine first!

There's nothing wrong with crying during an emotional event, especially when the family is there as a show of support.
The only immaturity is from those making fun of the kid, giving him a hard time and insisting, that like those good ole times when America was great, that thr proper place of such a child is in a closet and put up out of view.

What I'm against is the cloistered upbringing of a child who cannot handle the sudden hostility that the world can unleash.

What we saw essentially is the "cherry popping" on an apparently cloistered young man who was arguably protected and shielded from the world's realities.

Now hopefully he will be conditioned to overcome what will be continued hostility on his person in the foreseeable future.

No, but a 17 year old can enlist.

Nope. It's been 17 for many years.
