That's not in the job description for vice president. The V.P. has to periodically inquire about the health of the president and break ties in the senate. She's already broken more ties than any other V.P. and she has lunch with Biden every week. Sorry if you missed that. As far as lowering costs, that's obviously a continuing effort.

If the government has a good case, it would've been tried long ago. It's probably taken this long because of all the mistakes that were made by overzealous Bush Administration officials, and people now realizing that taking the case to court would assure KSM's release on numerous technicalities.

Maybe not too centrist, but he's firmly middle-class and is a good, family man. Walz has been elected to office more than Trump and Vance combined. He was a Command Sergeant Major in the MN Army National Guard, which I can assure you doesn't come to anybody who isn't an excellent soldier, and he's charming. As far as being "far leftist" I agree with him that government should stay out of personal health decisions between women and their doctors, and there's nothing wrong with making sure school kids are fed.

But go ahead and tell me how Trump, the convicted felon, is a better man.

Not awful, but not very good for a profile. The photos are interesting, but not very good at showing your face. The text blurb doesn't describe you or what you're looking for; it's not helpful--just says to dm you, as if you're open to anyone who'll take you. I guess, if that's what you're about, then OK, but it seems disconnected or lazy. You could take a few minutes to fill out the blurb section and there's no need to be protective of what you do for a living.

I thought it's funny how your main photo shows your phone in front of your face, like you're ashamed of how you look. But then I see how it's framed and it reminds me of that "Son of Man" painting


So maybe it's an artistic choice, and I like to think that you're some sort of artist trying to portray a modern-day stereotypical man. That's cool, but maybe upload a regular selfie where your facing the camera. Maybe looking into the camera lens. Wouldn't hurt to smile and wear a nice shirt.

Anyway, I guess my critiques show I may miss the point or the perspective of a much younger guy, and that photo of you on the beach shows you're a good-looking guy, so you'll probably be alright. But for a profile that's needlessly defensive and incomplete, I'd rate it 6/10.

Good luck!

Yeah, Tim Walz is really good!

How do you know there were no injuries, and since when does torture have to cause visible injuries? You would only find it inconvenient to be waterboarded? How about 189 times? You are either mistaken or a liar.

Except that they came up with a bipartisan solution and Trump killed it to keep it being a problem before the election. So the continuing mess is really on Trump.

There's no evidence they got any useful information from waterboarding over regular interrogation techniques, and being information obtained by torture, it's unreliable, because that's when the prisoner says literally anything to make it stop. Lie more, spout the truth, or get details wrong, and none of it is admissible in court. So much for the death sentence, when then guy was waterboarded almost 200 times.

I like that you have a good, clear photo of yourself, and filled in the basic biographical information, and interests but you left out the text blurb and didn't update the headline.

The blurb section is where you can describe yourself and whom you're looking for. If you've got a certain "type" then that's a good thing to include. Your headline just says "Hi.." which is the default (lame) headline, so won't stick out in any search results. Maybe come up with a few words to summarize yourself and put it there, replacing the "Hi.." Also, "Real estate" is pretty vague. Are you a broker, or agent, or a clerk? That might be good to clarify.

Anyways, you seem to be a good-looking guy, and lots of people seem to not even read the profiles, so you should do alright. But for the profile that's lacking a blurb and decent headline, I can only rate it 6/10.

Good luck!

Also, I don't think there's a 500 character limit, even for guys. I've seen lots of profiles with really long blurbs.

I think it's a pretty good profile. Good, clear photos. All the information is there. It shows you took some time to put it together. Good job!

As others have made clear, it's jarring how honest and explicit it is. We should write our profiles to attract the person we seek, and not always just cast a wide net for people we have to screen, in order to find a special someone. Others may laugh or get disgusted, I see a guy who knows what he wants and doesn't fear what commenters have to say. That self-confidence has to be worth something all by itself. When the young lady that's into this reads your profile, she'll probably know what to expect, and that's what it's all about.

Despite being plainly offensive to several people here, it's objectively a good profile. I rate it 10/10.

Good luck!

Ha ha. You fell for the right-wing media lies.

Considering he got the deal done, despite requiring cooperation with Russia, Germany, Slovenia, Norway Poland and Turkey, your assessment appears misinformed. This was a huge deal and Russia gave up 16 political prisoners in exchange for 8 Russian criminals. It was years in the making and despite all Trump's complaining, was better than anything Mr. "Art of the Deal" has done.

You're upset that KSM wasn't executed before being convicted? Neat. The real problem was the mishandling by the CIA under GW Bush. They used "enhanced interrogation techniques" (torture) hundreds of times, making anything they get from him unreliable and inadmissible in court, and complicating chances of even getting a conviction, while probably breaking international law. No, this was just a mess, and getting the plea deal was probably the best outcome available, anymore.

Harris was never given the portfolio of border czar, said Alan Bersin, who embraced the label as a special representative for border affairs under Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. "This was not the job assigned to VP Harris," he said.

You're the one who brought up 9/11 and implied that it was Democrats that were to blame for it, even though it was Bush in charge, and who ignored the warnings from his intelligence services in the months before. But, sure, go ahead and change your tune saying "it doesn't matter."

I, personally, don't consider the suicide bombing in Afghanistan a Biden failure. Terror attacks in that country are just table stakes. Wasn't the first terrorist bombing in that area by far, and I consider the failure to be how Pompeo "negotiated" (gave up) the withdrawal and then seemingly forgot about the whole thing as Trump was voted out. They made no preparations to get out--leaving it to the next administration. And I'm not surprised that Republicans blamed Biden, just like Republicans blamed 9/11 on Clinton. Anyway, I'm glad we're out of Afghanistan, and now that Biden's no longer on the ballot, we probably won't even have to talk about how Trump sent a drone to kill Soleimani. He didn't declare war, so it doesn't count, right?

I'm still registered as Republican, butI won't worship Trump just because he wears the 'R' designation. The guys a f***ing moron, and the whole MAGA thing is ridiculous beyond the slogan.

Reforming the SCOTUS with regard to corruption is long overdue. Justice Thomas has been found to have taken $millions in bribes, and Alito and others have been torturing generally accepted ethics rules, and then ultimately ignoring them, yet we pretend that anyone will actually recuse themselves. We've amended the constitution to apply term limits on presidents, and applying it to SCOTUS and even Congress seems like a good idea. Personally, I don't really care about the term limit as much as the ethics rules. SCOTUS justices should have to follow the same ethics rules that every other federal judge does.

We'll see how things shake out after the Democratic National Convention in a few weeks, and after she's picked her VP. Trump only got about a half-percent bump after the RNC and picking Vance. Not a good choice.

It's not my job, anymore, to be informed about military systems, but I do still like to follow current events, and your hysteria about a Russian ship off our coast just seems a little alarmist. Maybe if you really want to get upset, go look up Russian submarine capabilities. I'm sure those things come much closer than Cuba, any day of the week, and we have no way of knowing, as I'm sure the US Navy does likewise. And, again, I'm not fretting about it.

Maybe your alarm is from Republican talking points. Are we supposed to be scared of Russians in Cuba because of Biden & Harris, while you conveniently ignore Trump's failures and pretend Harris will get us attacked? 9/11 happened during the Bush Administration--not Clinton or Obama, and Obama's the one who got Bin Laden after Bush gave up. Trump's the guy who disbanded the NSC Pandemic Response Team back in 2018, and we all see how badly that turned out.

The president shouldn't be the "big ideas" person; they're the chief executive and they should act on expertly crafted plans. Put Trump in office, who always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, and we end up with the mess of the Trump Administration. And Trump's shown us that he's not worthy of even a basic security clearance, much less the highest position in government.

I didn't say that the only counter weapon system was in Cuba, or even that any weapon system was in Cuba. This forum isn't the place to list all the military defenses of the US, but if you like, you can Google the US Navy's Arleigh Burke class destroyers, and the SM-6s thereon. I'm not worried about any number of Russian warships, considering their impotence around Ukraine. But maybe you can tell me how they'd get around US defenses from even 40 miles away, much less from around the port in Cuba.

I don't worry about Harris with regard to Putin, because I've seen nothing to indicate she'd give in, once Putin says something nice. She won't be inviting the Russian Foreign Minister into the Oval Office, or pledge Ukrainian land to Russia for a quick approval for new hotels in Moscow. There isn't even a rumor of a "pee tape" about Harris. Do you wish we could say the same about Trump?
