OT: American Politics

Fwiw, because this appears to be the new attack angle (lol), based on a few separate twitter discussions I've seen, here's the timeline of Walz retirement from the military vs Iraq deployment

- Late 2004/Early 2005 (exact date not publicly available but I'm sure it exists): Uncie Walz puts in his retirement paperwork. This is would have happened sometime between his promotion in Sept 2004 and when he put in his paperwork required to run for Congress (Feb 10, 05)

- Feb 10 2005: Paperwork goes in declaring his intent to run for congress

- May 2005: Walz retires from the national guard

- July 2005: Walz old unit receives alert order for deployment

- Sept 2005: Unit arrives at Camp Shelby to prepare for deployment

- March 2006: Unit is deployed to Iraq


So Walz put in his retirement paperwork anywhere between 6-10 months prior to his unit being told to start preparing for a deployment.
Facts schmats he's a dodger unlike Bonespurs Trump
 
This is a pretty big deal. Only 1.4 million people voted in Utah during 2020 in total. While it is 6 Electoral college votes, that is 6 that would be siphoned away from Trump.

Very unexpected.
We're not getting to Reagan levels, but man, would it be refreshing to just absolutely filthily destroy Trump like 40-10 in states, enough that even if all the states he has in his pocket willing to cheat the electoral college can't even make a difference.
