Tim Walz, the former Democratic running mate with presidential candidate Kamala Harris, told a crowd on Friday that it’s time to form a “shadow government,” and hold alternate press conferences.
“We see one of the first things they do is try and restrict the vote,” the Minnesota governor said. “This is one of the things, though, that this is going to take power industry to — I don’t know what the answer is on this, but I’m kind of — I’ve been saying this: I think we need a shadow government, so when all these things come up every single day, we’ve got an alternate press conference telling the truth about what things are happening, tell them what’s going on.”
In other words, this is not the first time Walz has said there needs to be a shadow government. It’s something, he says, “I’ve been saying.”
Walz was speaking in Eau Claire, Wisconsin at a town hall meeting, where he doubled down on unpopular Democrat policies.
“We let them define the issue on DEI. And we let them define what woke is. We got ourselves in this mess because we weren’t bold enough to stand up and say ‘You’re d*** right, we’re proud of these policies. We’re gonna put them in, and we’re gonna execute them,’” he said. He went on to suggest that all Democrats need is a coordinated messaging strategy that can reach the masses.
This Walz clown is running and ruining the circus of Minnesota – not single-handedly, of course, but he IS the governor, so he deserves the biggest share of the ‘credit’ for the ruin. Minneapolis is a mess, too, so let’s not neglect to give due credit to its estimable mayor. And guess what? Yep, the two are of the same political party.
Anyhow, a clown can usually draw a crowd. I find Walz to be more than a bit weird, if not scary, so I am pleased that he remains in Minnesota, and far away from the White House.
Always with the ‘messaging!’ As if they can finally convince us stubborn ‘deplorables,’ that what’s good is bad, and down is up, if they just find that magic combination of words!
Thank God we didn’t elect this demon-possessed man.
Uh Timmy…You do realize that what you are promoting is defined under US codes as:Seditious Conspiracy and Advocating Overthrow of Government. Enjoy Gitmo Timmy and I thought Kamala was the stupid one…..
18 U.S. Code § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Doh, isn’t that always been happening? Refered to in different terms, second gov, secret gov, deep state, admin state, bureaucracy. Agenda upon agenda within the organization.
The permanent shadow government, where the real power rests, with the backing of the Intelligence Agency Complex and Courts, with Chief Justice Roberts presiding, is alive and well.
It has taken a few superficial wounds, but unless Congress takes legislative steps to end the madness by law, and the Trump Administration publishes all the corruption and ongoing treason , it will continue on as always.
Attempts at dismantling the CIA normally goes very bad for those who try.
Tampon Tim is such a classic self-emasculated beta-cuck radical leftist, he is a literal parody of himself.
Go for it, Tampon Tim! Make the sane majority of this country laugh even harder!
This “man” is badly in need of additional adult supervision!
Sounds like Insurrection to me. And Sedition.
Walz is a top tier piece of S—-.
Anybody supporting him should self lobotomize asap but I can pretty much guarantee that there at least 4 MRAK commenters that will try to defend him.
No, those commenters will not show up on this article.
.
The cognitive dissonance required to mount a defense of Tim, while simultaneously claiming President Trump is guilty of secretly doing exactly what Tim Walz is openly doing will break them. They would be forced to admit their side is just as totalitarian as they claim the conservative side of the aisle is.
.
Not going to happen.
Champ, if you took the time out of your day to stress about 4 (four!) imaginary Internet commenters, you are a sad, angry little man.
Ummm, I’m 3 of those things but not little.
The man is nuts. The left has already had a shadow government. One that wanted (still wants) to destroy our republic. That is how Trump got elected as enough voters wised up to the nefarious globalist Marxism of the leftist puppet regime.
It’s there now, it’s called the civilian workforce.
He apparently thinks he is above the law.
I really hope he gets the democrat nomination for president in 2028.
At least he didn’t go as far as to call for top DEI embedded military brass to withhold information from the commander-in-chief. Hindering the adults driving and try to right the listing ship of our forces.
Oh…….. never mind.
What Tim is really saying is… the Deep State needs to continue the illusion that it, the Deep State doesn’t exist.
Good luck with that one Timmy!
The Cat is out of the bag and there isnt any going back.
A ‘shadow government?’ This gasbag Walz wouldn’t cast a faint shadow in bright sunlight. The declining state of Minnesota is in great need of a proper government, and it would be greatly helpful to the people of that state if he would promptly resign from his office.
We have a shadow government already. They ruled while Biden slept.
This is all good news for keeping sanity in the Whitehouse.
After 4 years of a disastrous Biden Harris clown show that cost them serious pushback in 2024 and now all they have is Newsome who has decimated the state of California and a tampon salesman leading their charge for the next cycle things are looking pretty bright for the future.
By the time Elon Tom Homan and Kristi Noem with Kash and Gabbards help gets done cleaning house things will be much better.
I sleep well because I’m a conservative, and not a registered Republican. Lots of you are are huge babies, always looking for something to get mad about. Suzanne is an expert at getting you upset, and taking your money. MAGA is the easiest group of snowflakes to trigger, with the added bonus of being an ATM. I sell MAGA gear on Facebook, you dummies are the greatest marks in the world. I also voted for Nick Begich, so don’t @ me with yours tired “leftist” smears. I’m a conservative, I’m not a moron.
The “shadow government” comment is a reasonable and normal thing. Anyone who doesn’t understand this is a moron or just wants to murder people who don’t agree with their specific politics.
Perhsps they want to get you mad enough to keep watching their show/website. Haven’t we recently learned that Elon Musk is an American hero and Kevin McCabe is a leftist?
Alot of you commenters are dorks. Grow up, or log off.
Aren’t you just a ray of sunshine?
Do you feel better now?
Go back to sleep, Jimmy.
If you have even been awake for the last four or more years.
And here I thought Kamala was the dumb one on the Democrat ticket.
America dodged a bullet with this and the other moron. What is frightening to me is all the people who cheer for this treasonous baloney.
Watching the replay of his performance, I’m convinced that Tim is propagating “SUBVERSION” and “INSURECTION”
As per Grok:
Subversion and insurrection are tactics often used to undermine or overthrow established systems, governments, or authorities. While the specifics can vary depending on context—historical, political, or social—there are recurring methods and strategies associated with these activities. Below is an overview of common approaches, drawn from historical patterns and general principles of political disruption.
Subversion involves weakening or destabilizing a system from within, often covertly, without direct confrontation. Common methods include:
Propaganda and Disinformation: Spreading misleading or divisive narratives to erode trust in institutions, leaders, or societal norms. This can involve rumors, fabricated stories, or amplifying existing grievances to sow discord.
Infiltration: Placing agents or sympathizers within key organizations—government, military, media, or education—to influence decisions, gather intelligence, or sabotage operations from the inside.
Corruption: Undermining authority by bribing officials, exploiting greed, or encouraging unethical behavior to weaken morale and functionality.
Psychological Warfare: Creating fear, confusion, or apathy among the population or leadership through targeted messaging, intimidation, or symbolic acts.
Economic Disruption: Sabotaging infrastructure, trade, or financial systems to create hardship, discontent, or instability that can be exploited.
Exploitation of Divisions: Amplifying ethnic, religious, class, or ideological tensions to fragment unity and make governance more difficult.
Insurrection is a more overt, often violent uprising against authority, typically aimed at seizing power or forcing change. Common methods include:
Armed Rebellion: Organizing and equipping groups to engage in direct combat with state forces, often targeting strategic locations like government buildings, armories, or communication hubs.
Guerrilla Tactics: Using hit-and-run attacks, ambushes, or sabotage to harass and exhaust stronger opponents, avoiding large-scale battles.
Mass Mobilization: Rallying large groups—through protests, strikes, or riots—to overwhelm authorities and disrupt order, often fueled by a unifying cause or charismatic leadership.
Assassination or Targeted Violence: Eliminating key figures (political leaders, military commanders, or influencers) to destabilize the chain of command or provoke a reaction.
Control of Resources: Seizing territory, supplies, or infrastructure (e.g., roads, ports, or media outlets) to sustain the movement and deny them to the opposition.
Parallel Structures: Establishing alternative governance or militias to challenge the legitimacy of the existing system and provide a frame for takeover.
These methods often overlap and adapt to circumstances. For example, the Bolsheviks in 1917 Russia combined propaganda, infiltration of the military, and mass mobilization to topple the provisional government. Similarly, modern insurgencies, like those in Syria or Colombia, have blended guerrilla warfare with media campaigns to sustain their efforts. The effectiveness of these tactics depends on factors like public support, organizational skill, and the resilience of the targeted system. Subversion tends to be slower and subtler, laying groundwork, while insurrection is a decisive escalation, risking everything on momentum and force.
The only thing that has ever restricted my vote was RANKED CHOICE VOTING. I was a nonpartisan that had to join a party in order to participate in the 2024 presidential primary. RCV has suppressed our votes. It should be ruled illegal.
You have to wonder how much money he got from the ChiComs to spout this garbage. I can’t imagine it was worth it, but he probably sold himself cheap.
So much for respecting the democratic process and the will of the people.
This is so stupid even the usual suspects are avoiding it.
