Will Kamala replace Walz

Earl said:
Sorry, Miss Marple, there is video of him saying that he carried a weapon in war and there are posts from his CO and soldiers in his unit saying that he lied about his rank. Both are examples of stolen valor.

They have been posted dozens of times .

Well Mr. Earl, I actually read 18 U.S. Code § 704 plus the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 to learn what they were about. In brief, mostly about military medals and decorations. Now some may think that Walz falls under the false claims provision of the SVA. However, there were legal challenges to the Stolen Valor Act stating that it unconstitutionally violated free speech. (U.S. v. Strandlof and U.S. v. Alvarez.) In June 2012 SCOTUS found the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 unconstitutional and it was terminated.

Then Obama signed a new Stolen Valor Act of 2013 that "makes it a federal crime to fraudulently claim to be a recipient of certain military decorations or medals in order to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit." There's nothing in it about speech. So to conclude, I don't see how Walz could be punished under the act.

18 U.S. Code § 704
(a)In General.—
Whoever knowingly purchases, attempts to purchase, solicits for purchase, mails, ships, imports, exports, produces blank certificates of receipt for, manufactures, sells, attempts to sell, advertises for sale, trades, barters, or exchanges for anything of value any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation thereof, except when authorized under regulations made pursuant to law, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Stolen Valor Act of 2005
The purpose of the Act was to strengthen the provisions of federal law by broadening its scope and strengthening penalties. Specific new provisions in the Act included:
  • granting more authority to federal law enforcement officers;
  • broadening the law to cover false claims whereas previously an overt act had to be committed;
  • covering the mailing and shipping of medals; and
  • protecting the reputation and meaning of military heroism medals.

The Revolution replaces people for disloyalty to the Revolution (Hello Andrew Cuomo), not for incompetence or lying.

In 2017, the IRS showed MN lost $217 million in reported income
In 2023 that number has swelled to $2+ billion in lost reported income.

YOU STUPID FUCKER, the IRS said $219 BILLION in reportable taxable income left MN for other states which was up from the @215 MILLIOIN in 2017. See the trend you moron. Comparing MN to TX and FL which have a heavy population of retirees is moronic but that fits your small mind.

Yeah. You are a moron since you think 2 is the same as 219.

Refute what was in the podcast and the Wall Street Journal.

Why should I refute a rounding error?
The Adjusted Gross income for taxes went up by over $33 billion in the time period you are whining about them losing $2 billion. At the same time the total AGI for MN was almost $250 billion.

You are complaining that they lost $2 billion in taxable AGI in the same year they gained $33 billion. Do you see how stupid that looks?
Did you know that Texas had over $21.7 billion AGI lost from the people that moved out of Texas? (But Texas still saw a growth in AGI like MN did.)

Stop trying to defend what has happened to your once great State under Walz, Frey, and Carter. With the help of your Hennepin DA, the place has become a shithole.

From a podcast I listen to,
Go to 13:45 for your IRS facts. It's only a minute or two so even you can understand what Walz has done to the state.

Your opinions are asinine, hateful, and punishable by LOSING ELECTIONS!

Is there something you just don't understand with this?

You are a hopeless lemming so all I can do is pray for you. THE PEOPLE you speak of, have no shin in the game so everything the government hands them, makes them more and more dependent on that government.

The problem for you is that it is very clear that elections are not remotely properly conducted.

That muffled *whumpf* you just heard was Earl's brain exploding. MAGA mooks can't deal with the truth that contradicts their revisionism.
