Tim Walz has said he’s “sick and tired of hearing about thoughts and prayers” following the Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, which left four dead.

Walz, who was named as Kamala Harris’ running mate in the race for the White House in August, spoke about the Wednesday (4 September) shooting at a campaign rally at the Highmark Amphitheater in Erie, Pennsylvania on Thursday.

He told his supporters: “We believe in the freedom to send our kids to school without being shot dead in the hall.”

“The news cycle moves on within a day,” he commented of the incident, adding that kids had returned to school feeling excited and “now we have four dead”.

In the meantime, Trump is shrieking to his MAGA idiots about the completely fake "danger" of letting your kids go to school and returning home with a sex change operation

God, if only that's how it worked when I was a kid.

I was totally that guy who was "just kidding" and "just thinking aloud" about what it'd be like to be a girl.. but.. like "Not really, cause I'm totally a straight dude. I just wanna grab my own tiddies."

Now I'm a woman, and I just grabbed my own tiddies for fun.

Enjoy those head hard earned tiddies!

Ps: sorry, auto correct wants to end my life

this is certainly either one of the more fascinating typos, or one of the weirder things i'm not picking up on.

anyway, head titties is an interesting implication.

I have relatives that I shit you not fear this and believe it is 100% real. It's so extremely fucking stupid

Any sane parent would worry about their kid getting killed a lot more than about them suddenly transitioning to another gender even if both of those were real things that actually happen.

They would rather tier kids have a good clean Christian death (being shot by someone mentally ill while attending school) than live a corrupted life (of not using the pronouns we gave them).

"Would you rather have a dead son or a living daughter?"

My family's local religious leader fortunately took my parents aside one day to ask them exactly that. It was the start of a major turn around in my relationship with them, and I'll never not be grateful that he did that.

I had a ER doctor tell me about litter boxes in schools last week. She was dead serious.
