The Real timschochet

Please provide a specific example of the MSM falsely reporting on the shutdown.

Your argument might have some validity in theory but in practice it’s his job. It’s been the President’s job pretty much since FDR. I would also add that every modern President when they run for office, including this one, makes all kinds of campaign promises based on the implication that they are in fact responsible for the actions of Congress and all of federal government.

Hey good for you Francie. You seem like a good person. The treatment you get in here from ignoramuses who have never understood trans, and spread ignorance, bigotry and hatred is truly disgusting. But you should know that at least some of us reading this support you, accept that you are now the sex you needed to be all along, that it was never a choice and that you are not mentally ill, and that the vast majority of the worlds medical authorities agree with us and not them. Best wishes to you.

Normally this is the time (it’s way past time actually) that a normal President calls a meeting with the leaders on both sides in the Oval, and a deal is quickly hammered out. This is the way every past shutdown has ended.

Here’s more examples of ICE breaking laws, this time with tear gas: https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/11/01/dhs-ice-border-patrol-chicago-tear-gas/

I enjoy this imagery. Never thought of myself this way but hey, why not?

If so AOC will be our next President. But it won’t be her. The Democratic nominating process is, as ever, ultimately controlled by centrist and socially conservative blacks in southern primaries who will never vote for a socialist candidate. Look for it to be Newsom or whatever other establishment candidate can gather the support of black churchgoing women in South Carolina. They decide this thing.

You’re all over the map here. First you demanded I tell you what laws ICE has broken. I did that in some detail. Then you argued that it was only laws broken according to a bunch of “leftist judges”. I demonstrated that this was not the case. Now you bring up Covid- I have no idea why or what you’re specifically referring to- apparently in an attempt to show that I am a hypocrite. But I don’t get the reference. Your last sentence “they can avoid it all by getting the fock out” seems to indicate that you’re OK with ICE breaking laws because the ends justify the means to you. If that is your position (and I suspect it is) you should have stated it from the beginning rather than challenge the fact that ICE is actually breaking the law. But you didn’t because I think you know, deep down, that it’s an indefensible position. It also ignores the fact that some of the folks ICE is mistreating are American citizens or otherwise have the legal right to be here.

No. These aren’t “leftist judiciaries.” These are judges appointed by every President since Reagan, including 3 Republican Presidents, including judges appointed by Donald Trump. They are ruling this way, unanimously, because ICE is breaking the laws of this country, not based on any ideology.

Screw my feelings. Here is a summary of over 200 judicial rulings, made by 100 different judges, that ICE is currently violation federal law in their detention practices: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/31/trump-administration-mandatory-detention-deportation-00632086 Then there are all the individual anecdotes: arresting people without asking for papers, physical mistreatment, abuse of prisoners, abuse of bystanders, arresting and detaining American citizens and/or those with legal status, etc, etc.

We could name you as our dictator. Or me. It doesn’t matter. The point is we need to have a dictator for Donald Trump to love us and do what we want.

I think I have the solution. Democrats need to name a dictator. It could be Gavin Newsom, AOC, Mamdani- doesn’t matter who. We announce that from now on all authority will be from this one person. For show we could even arrest a few critics, imprison them. We’ll stage big parades in honor of Our Leader. Trump will be our slave. He’ll immediately give us everything we want. This is brilliant; how can it fail?

Agreed. But damn there are going to be so many things to fix….

Agreed. The accusation I am making is that they are not enforcing laws, they are breaking them. And at some point in the future they should be prosecuted for it.

Look in a mirror as far as that one goes buddy

Too bad. Feel free to change your mind. I’ll own up to the pompousness. I probably am pompous from time to time. But I completely deny the charge of dishonesty.

Still not accurate but credit to you for at least changing the number partly.

Your claim that this is “100% on the Democrats” only demonstrates your partisan imagination. It’s another reason why most of your posts can’t be taken seriously. Unless you’re willing to criticize your own side at least time to time you’re nothing but a shill. Personally I see this as around 40% on Dems, 40% on Republicans, and 20% on Trump. There’s plenty of blame to go around.

Only criticism of Israel that comes from liberals is anti-semitism. Criticism of Israel from conservatives is perfectly fine. Get it right @TimHauck

ICE agents and their superiors who are committing crimes should be aware: they’re getting away with this now but at some later date they may be held responsible. I hope so.

I don’t believe any of that. Not surprised you do however.

On the day I was born “Mr. Tambourine Man” by the Byrds was the #1 song on Billboard. That soaring, jangly Rickenbacker guitar riff….

Last night in his call for Republicans to use the nuclear option, Trump again made the odd claim that “many” undocumented immigrants escaped from mental institutions before coming here. He has said this many times before. Always seemed weird but the other day I heard a theory on a podcast: it’s because Trump doesn’t understand what the word “asylum” means for people who come here. He thinks it means “insane asylum”. That’s incredibly moronic but it’s also the only theory that makes his comments make sense.

This is the part that people don’t get. The other day I heard an interview with a senator from Oklahoma. He dismissed this issue claiming that less than 7% of his constituents were in the exchange. This response struck me as idiotic for two reasons, the first being what you just wrote. The second being that the 7% of Oklahomans on ACA (if that number is at all accurate) are still his constituents. Moron.

Speaking of protests there was a large anti-ICE protest in downtown San Diego this morning when I visited to look at a building project. It was awesome. I honked my horn and the people waved and I waved back. As depressing as some things are these days the public response is really cheering. People who truly care about American values are taking the country back.
