Melissa Murray mentioned this nickname on a podcast and suggested Walz makes a tee shirt that he wears to rallies “Tampon Tim, soaking up the red wave” 😂
My daughter group-texted our family a bunch of Tweets (oops did I dead-name you, Elon?). People are doing Chuck Norris memes, but about Tim Walz:
"Tim Walz points the stud finder at himself and says "well, looks like it's working" before putting up a shelf."
Wals will be the first VP in history to have secured a fridge to the bed of an F-150 with ratchet straps and proclaimed, "OK, that's not goin' anywhere"
This is the Democratic tomfoolery we should have been doing 8 years ago.
Dad jokes are universal, but people on the coasts to understand that there is a Tim Walz living on every single block in the Midwest. Flyover country is having a moment, and I'm here for it.
Lyz, you haven't been Tim Walzing for 4 years because you did it first. I believe the youth would more accurately say that Tim Walz is in his Lyz Lenz era and we love that for him.
Thank you for explaining that nickname, I too was puzzled by the "timpon" avoidance. But I guess tampons are SCARY whereas a "timpon" might be kind of cute. At worst, Australian.
lol and quoting someone on Substack ( can’t remember who) when talking about tampons and pads - you fools were all wearing them on your ears at the Republican National Convention, now that was a funny site to see, people who were not injured wearing pads on their ears in honor of Trump
TP mentioned Melissa Murray on PSA this week, and I wanted to note how great her discussion with Dan was about reproductive justice and all that it entailed. Worth a listen, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBKXaQN6RAE).
I have to say that the whole kerfuffle about Tampon Tim coincides with me watching "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret" with my 11 yo grandson (followed by Barbie, again). It reminded me how awful it was to get my period and have no supplies. By the time I started, my mom had had a major surgery, which ended her periods, and my sisters had moved out. I can remember going to school in a new sundress and having to borrow gym clothes from a friend to go home in. As a young and impoverished adult, I relied heavily on toilet paper. So Tampon Tim would have been a savior to me. I LOVE that he made that happen. I don't miss my uterus AT ALL.
I’ll take Tampon Tim over Diaper Don anytime. Megyn lost all credibility ( and humanity ) in the way back times when protesters against the Iraq invasion were sprayed with pepper spray and she called it “basically a food product”. Two time Dingus title well deserved.
Does anyone else remember air travel in the weeks after 9/11? TSA guys would rip your bags apart with glee- until they hit the fem hygiene stuff. Tampons might as well have been radioactive.
YES PLEASE!!!! I’ve been all, “why are we mad at Ballerina Farm when MEGYN KELLY AND THE FOX NEWS BLONDES ARE RIGHT THERE SELLING US ALL DOWN THE RIVER
As another with a very high pain threshold (gave birth twice on pitocin with no pain meds), it never occurred to me that nearly passing out from the pain of IUD insertion was concerning, since I was already lying down. THEY HAVE CONNED US ALL INTO BELIEVING PAINFUL PROCEDURES ARE NORMAL - AND MEN WOULD N.E.V.E.R. Absolutely NEVER tolerate such bullshit.
Lyz, you are the BEST. I sure as shit needed this today. I am just about ready to speak with the Iowa Board of Medicine, politely (or not) asking them why they knowingly agreed to reinstate the license of a convicted sex offender. You go, girl!
If Prince Charles can survive Tampongate and go on to marry the woman whose trousers he wanted to live in and become king, then Tampon Tim can definitely become VP.
There is a man alive who seriously calls himself Jimmy Peacock? I mean, "Jimmy Peacock" was an idea rejected by Martin Short before he hit on Jiminy Glick!
Republicans just hate the idea of giving anything away to anyone but themselves. Pfah!

How about “plugging up the red wave”? “Soaking” reminds me of “soaking in the sun” or tub. Or “blocking”. Just a thought
I misquoted her! Here’s that part from transcript
“Republicans are calling him
Tampon Tim. If I were him, I would make a T-shirt. Yes, 1 am
Tampon Tim, and I'm here to stop the red wave.”
She may have used a better word there😄 I’ll have to go back and listen again!
Hilarious! I would buy that shirt!
+1!

Lol. Right?

Love your dead-naming Musk!

I didn't know this about Megyn Kelly and pepper spray. I love the idea of a server knowing this and offering to pepper spray her pasta.

You say this like they don’t glee now….and they do. They very much glee.
YES PLEASE!!!! I’ve been all, “why are we mad at Ballerina Farm when MEGYN KELLY AND THE FOX NEWS BLONDES ARE RIGHT THERE SELLING US ALL DOWN THE RIVER
“And Megyn Kelly, who brings shame to all of us with errant Ys in our name, was outraged.” Yes!

Sherri thank you for all you do.

I will never ever forget JIMOTHY!
If Tampon Tim is the best they could come up with, they are seriously fucked! It would work in middle school but I'm sure Walz is just loving it.
