The Real timschochet

That nickname is pretty kind compared to what that fool deserves. Jasmine is about 1000 times smarter than Marjorie but other than that I can see the comparison. Well not really.

I so hope they try to prosecute her. Bring it on.

Apparently you’re not paying attention. This story is minor compared to the uproar over Doge. Have you watched any of these huge crowds lately? And this is even before the tariffs take effect. The public is pissed off. You’re not seeing it for whatever reason. But you will come election time. It’s gonna be ugly for anyone supporting Trump.

What @Fnord said. You parrot whatever the Trump folks say and then you accuse me of this. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic.

Wait- is it a coincidence that this story only occurred a few weeks ago? https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/south-carolina-escaped-monkeys-what-we-know/

Listening to you is like reading a Harry Turtledove novel, except that he’s a pretty good writer and all of HIS alternative history is fun and speculative. YOUR alternative history is humorous, deluded, sad, absurd, ugly, and just total bullsh!t again and again.

MSNBC is reporting that the language that both Hegseth and Leavitt used “there were no military war plans” is very precise and specific- it’s a Clintonesque denial if you will- they never said there was nothing classified revealed. This is lawyerly speak so they can cover their tracks later on. Lololol As I wrote the initial story was uninteresting to me but the denials are making it interesting…

OK. I’m not really interested in having this discussion. I could have it at some point with reasonable people such as yourself, but this forum has too many bigots in it who believe that people with black skin have inherently lower intelligence. I know you’re not one of them and that’s enough. Yes black Americans do perform lower on IQ tests. We can disagree on the reasons why. It’s racist to believe that it’s inherent. Let’s leave it at that.

I’m not even sure I would call them willfully ignorant. I think many of them made a Faustian bargain: they wanted a better economy and the border under control, and were willing to take the rest of it (or at least didn’t take it seriously.)

We’ll find out.

Their health will be fine as you will shortly discover. Don’t be deceived by current polling. 2026 is going to be a referendum on Donald Trump and it will be largely negative, which means Democrats will do extremely well. Not because of anything they say or do but simply because they are currently out of power.

I can’t speak for others. Personally I don’t see any correlation. Some of the brightest people I know in my life voted for Trump this time around. I don’t think they’re stupid or unaware, just very wrong.

Performing lower on tests is certainly a confirmable fact. Having lower IQ is NOT a confirmable fact and I would dispute it rather strongly. I also believe it’s a racist suggestion. Based on your post however, I think you’re simply misusing the phrase “IQ” (at least I hope so.) I don’t give others in this thread that excuse.

No. There is a standing assertion that those without college educations preferred Trump by wide margins. That has nothing to do with intelligence level.

Yeah you completely failed to understand that test: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/african-farmers-kids-conquer-marshmallow-test white supremacists are the biggest morons of all.

No idea. I love it though. Pretty sure my ancestors would be horrified with me.

You mean their assertion that black people have less money in general because their IQs are lower? You regard that as a fact? If you do then you’re just as racist as they are. I’m not going to bother to refute them, or you.

I absolutely believe that most of these guys are gang members and deserve to be sent away. What bothers me is that a few of them might not be gang members and were not allowed due process to prove they aren’t. If they are not gang members then the crime of entering this country without proper documents should not be punished by sending someone to a maximum security prison in El Salvador. Maybe you and many other people here are OK with this. I’m not. And hopefully the American public won’t be either (we’ll see.)

I didn’t attack him. I like him.

I haven’t watched it yet, but I’ve read plenty of Sowell in the past, so I know the gist. He’s a smart dude and he does makes some good arguments. Problem is he knows his audience (white conservatives) and plays up to them knowing exactly what they want to hear. He’s made a ton of money doing this. Some of you praising him might be a little chagrined by your “allies” in this thread, @Cdub100 and @iam90sbaby expressing pure unadulterated racism.

As I wrote earlier this really hasn’t been much of a story for me. I didn’t care and explained why. But the ridiculous lying denial by Hegseth, and the reaction on the right in general, is making it interesting.

Probably your most pathetic post ever and that’s saying something. What a weak idiot you are.

Some of them are my lgbtq friends. Grow up and live in the real world. Real life bears no resemblance to what you watch on Fox.

The White House so blatantly broke the rules here that it seems to me that they want the public to know it. They’re betting that most of the public will be so happy that they’re deporting gang members that they simply won’t care that there was no due process and the law was broken. Who knows? They might be right. We will see.

You would bet wrong. I know a few Iranians, but also Turks, Palestinians, Syrians, Egyptians, one dude from Qatar, and one from Dubai. ETA and Afghans and Pakistanis. Can’t believe I forget about them.
