The Real timschochet

I just read his latest book (about racism in the NFL; he wrote it in defense of Kapernaek). Very sorry to hear this.

That won’t hurt us but the European tariffs placed on our liquor will. Quite a bit of our liquor sales are international. Expect sales and job losses in Kentucky, Wisconsin and Napa Valley. This whole thing is a stupid disaster. We gain nothing.

Actually Ukraine hasn’t lost any ground. It remains a stalemate. Ukraine has agreed to everything Trump wanted; Russia has not. The obvious choice now is to keep supporting Ukraine until Russia comes to the table. But will that happen?

Since that would have comprised about 70% of the entire population this seems an odd question.

Undocumented immigrants who came here looking for a better life and who have not committed violent crimes deserve amnesty and a path to citizenship. Not deportation. Sanctuary cities, by refusing to cooperate with the federal government in rounding up innocent people and turning them in, assist with that ultimate goal. And it allows some of us to sleep better at night knowing that we are not Vichy French collaborators.

Right. Now if some similar pandemic happens a year from now I think it may be OK to take a hard look at Trump cutting CDC spending, putting in RFK, removing us from the WHO, etc. I believe all of those items will have a bad effect on our ability to deal with medical situations that arise. But it’s far too early yet.

President Trump has already taken credit for egg prices dropping. Unfortunately for him it looks like they will go back up again: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/12/business/egg-prices-are-finally-falling-but-theyre-about-to-spike-again Just want to note that egg prices are one of the few current aspects of the economy that I do NOT blame on Trump. But he hasn’t exactly helped matters and he probably shouldn’t be bragging about it.

Look it up yourself sparky.

You really don’t understand the difference between Biden’s minor tariffs which were bad, and these new tariffs which are worse than Smoot-Hawley do you? You might want to read the Wall Street Journal. But why am I wasting my time? Everything you write is wrong and stupid.

The lie was about me staying silent about those tariffs. I complained pretty loudly.

Yes it was. But not nearly as terrible as these new tariffs. They are catastrophic. And what’s happening in the stock market isn’t healthy, it’s stupid and unnecessary. Kind of like yourself.

This is another lie.

There was NOTHING inevitable about this. It’s all on Trump.

Canadians are boycotting the USA. No products of ours being purchased. Vacations cancelled. We’re going to lose billions due to one man’s stupidity.

99% of economists: “the current stock market dip is due to Trump’s tarrifs”. Horseman at FFT: “They’re all morons! This was inevitable!” I’m really having trouble deciding who is right here. It’s a conundrum.

Thats not how tariffs work. Educate yourself before you talk about this subject. Or don’t and continue to talk drivel.

Canada will suffer because of the tariffs they put on us. We will suffer because of the tariffs we put on them. And vice versa. Everybody suffers. It’s like a classic Russian novel!

I don’t think the baby should matter. If he committed violence OR is a member of Hamas OR encouraged others to commit violence OR encouraged others to join Hamas OR raised money for Hamas or other terrorist organizations- he should be deported IMO. If he did none of these things he should not be deported no matter how toxic you or I might find his views to be. In fact he should never have been arrested.

The three situations you stated are very different. Incidentally that’s why I’ve never been a fan of “doctrines” because there’s no policy that fits all instances. Let’s focus for now on Ukraine because it was the topic under discussion. Since invading Russia has lost billions of dollars, 700,000 men, and gained only 20% of Ukrainian territory. I’m sure this is not what Putin had in mind and sooner or later he’s going to agree to a peace settlement. The differences between Harris and Trump in this regard are mostly performative IMO- I think with either President we get to the same place: basically support Ukraine until Putin gets tired of the cost of war. Now Trump has played around a little with screwing over Ukraine, whereas Harris would not have, but in the end Trump will support Ukraine until Russia agrees to stop. Hopefully that will be soon.

No I don’t think Kamala starting WWIII is a reasonable argument or in any way analogous to what Trump has done. She would have supported Ukraine and eventually Putin would have sought a peaceful end to the stalemate.

Your hatred and ignorance is unhealthy for you. Get some help.

If something needs a catalyst to happen, then by definition it can’t be inevitable. HTH

Well probably not since one of the first things the Nazis did was kick all Jews out of the military.

You can pretend all you want that it has nothing to do with the tariffs but that doesn’t mean anyone else needs to pretend with you.

I regard Kamala Harris as extremely erudite and highly intelligent. I don’t feel the same about Caroline Levitt and I don’t see any contradiction.
