The Real timschochet

Any objective person watching that comes away thinking they both come off as rude jerks. But Nancy is a Congresswoman so we should expect a little better. The other dude, who cares?

Such a great photo. And consider that there was almost no construction going on in 1932. Men literally waiting hours or days to apply for construction jobs only to be turned away. In 1932, the Soviet Union announced they were constructing new buildings in Moscow and asked for 500 American workers to come and live in Russian for several years. Over 100,000 people applied! That wouldn’t have happened in any other year in American history. It was the worst year of the Great Depression.

To me that shows that at least some of us have become more accepting, which means some of these kids have become more willing to come out of the closet rather than hide and commit suicide. The numbers were always there; but now it is less hidden. I say that’s a good thing.

If your question means “will they turn on Trump”? The answer is no. Not the MAGA crowd, not ever. Trump will find someone to blame (looks like Jerome Powell) and they will blame him. Never Trump.

Well at least we know where we disagree.

Unfortunately I can’t admit I’m wrong about this issue because I don’t think I am. I believe that trans people should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect. I think teenagers should be able to make medical decisions in consultation with their parents and doctors without government interference or restriction, unless public health issues are involved, and in the cases of gender therapy or surgery they are not. I think gender dysphoria is a mental disorder that can lead, if untreated, to suicide; the only treatment to gender dysphoria is therapy and ultimately a sex change operation. I do not believe that a teenager can be talked into gender dysphoria. I do not believe that a straight teenager can be talked into trans or gay. Finally I don’t believe that trans athletes should play in girls sports but it’s a really minor issue to me. These things I believe based on what I read and understand. If public opinion is 80-20 going the other way I can’t help that. It is what it is.

Trump isn’t a dictator. Trump wants to be a dictator. He won’t succeed. Unlike this guy calling for violence, there are a LOT of very well known conservative pundits who believe Trump should ignore the Supreme Court.

No surprise I disagree strongly with the lesson you take from this. My own take is that we need to come up with a reasonable and humane way to address both refugee and immigration issues. Reasonable and humane excludes some of the words you used like “brutal” and “ruthless”.

Yep the Dow is dropping again this morning. 900 points already. They say it’s a combination of the tariffs and Jerome Powell bashing but you and I know it’s just liberals whining right? So awesome.

Trump calls Jerome Power a loser and demands he lowers interest rates. Seems to me Trump is looking for a scapegoat.

Yeah I know longer believe this account. Huge troll effort. Pretty good one since I was suckered in for a long while…

I had to look up who Nicholas Decker is. I couldn’t find him. Substack maybe? Not a politician for sure, nothing to do with the Democratic Party or any liberal movement. I might as well post @Cdub100 quotes to “prove” Republicans hate Jews. Huge failure on your part. Embarrassing. Especially since you support a President who has on several occasions endorsed violence.

I find the rhetoric scary: the utter rage that the MAGA folks feel about this issue (illegal immigration). I’ve seen it here too, when they blame people like me and you for rape and murder and wish the same on our families. It’s become a hatred that can’t be reasoned with. The guy from Judicial Watch that is urging Trump to suspend habeus corpus probably represents a lot of people. They don’t care about liberties at this point. Seriously this is how dictatorships come to be.

It’s also important to note that what Obama did, reprehensible as it was, was within the law. Trump is breaking the law.

I wasn’t a fan of Obama’s policies on undocumented inmigration. Or Biden’s. Or any President since Ronald Reagan. Those who have read me for a while know I am generally in favor of open immigration and amnesty for most people already here. That being said. No other President has been quite as awful as Trump on this issue. It’s not close.

The ACLU was right then and right now. They usually are. You should support them with money as many of us do, they are fighting for your rights.

It sure is, because there isn’t any.

https://www.retailmenot.com/blog/what-are-the-top-easter-candies-this-year.html 49% of Americans have changed the way they celebrate Easter this year due to high egg prices. They must all be idiots, right? Meanwhile, Trump actually said this yesterday: “If anything, egg prices are too low.” He’s starting to sound like Herbert Hoover. Of course, the egg situation is minor compared to the price increases we will see on nearly everything starting this summer thanks to the tariffs.

Are you guys really this dumb? She’s not talking about eggs for her family, she’s talking about the Egg Roll which is a large event. They have a budget for it and this year the eggs exceed it. How can you guys be this dense? Actually you voted for Trump right? Never mind.

Ahh I had forgotten that. But she is defeated by Mothman Robert Smith, right?

And didn’t Donald Trump rape a woman? (Allegedly.)

Is this kind of like Johnny Sokko and his Giant Robot, except with Supreme Court justices?

OK then. But I think you’re being used and manipulated. I think the politicians discussing this issue (the ones that claim to agree with you) don’t really give a crap about it. They’re using it because they know it pisses you off and that helps them maintain their power base.

Just to clarify (because I have so much trouble believing it)- is this issue (trans) SO important to you that you prioritize it over the economy, energy, foreign affairs, war, all other issues?

@jerryskids I appreciate that ultimately, though we might differ on details, you agree that this guy should be returned. But the question is, if the Trump Administration refuses to do anything about this (and at least so far that is the case) what should the SC do in your opinion?
