The Real timschochet

Republicans have announced the formation of a new Jan 6 committee. So much for looking forward. I can only assume they will investigate Pelosi, the FBI, Liz Cheney, Antifa…should be a blast.

Well that would include me; don’t be rude! But in this instance what we are advocating for is a society in which local police don’t inform to the government on the whereabouts of nonviolent undocumented people. It’s one thing to report the murderers, the rapists, and to see that they’re deported after serving proper time in prison. But the vast majority who don’t commit such crimes should be left alone. Thats what sanctuary cities are about, and I’m glad we have them.

Why do you persist in this nonsense? In your second paragraph you mentioned the military and wrongly stated that I brought it up. That’s what I responded to. Get over it already.

I guess @Strike is the one that is re- no I won’t use that word, because I’m not an inconsiderate a$$hole.

Right after he said that, Hannity says “We only have a few minutes more and I want to talk about the economy”, but Trump tells him “This (my retribution) is more important.” Priorities you know….

Again, I didn’t make this suggestion. RLLD did.

Something like 75 of the public disapproves of this.

Umm I didn’t raise the issue of using military force to stop the drug trafficking. That was @RLLD. I was responding to him. HTH

Wow, thanks for that. But yeah I meant sanctions in this instance.

There’s no goalposts moved. I wrote that putting the military on the border is for show and won’t accomplish much and I meant it. You’re right about the tunnels but they are not the main source for fetanyl- the ports are like I wrote. The tunnels are troublesome and there’s only going to be more now but we can’t stop them without information. Military force won’t do it.

See this I don’t mind- except that I think @TrailGuy is right that we already have huge tariffs on Russia so I don’t know if it will make a difference. But I very much like that he is putting pressure on Putin to stop the war and not on Ukraine- at least not yet. But no details are provided- is he just expecting Russia to retreat? Is he willing to allow Russia to keep some of the lands they have seized? (Zelensky won’t agree to that.) Not sure how this plays out…

Screenplay was written by my favorite novelist of all time, James Clavell.

Sure but the Marines aren’t going to be able to stop that.

But what Reagan did was good for America. It’s been beneficial. That’s why we should do it again.

It’s really stupid. Cartels don’t send their drugs across the border and they certainly don’t come across the border in large numbers. They sneak the drugs into our ports. As Trump would know if he bothered to talk to the DEA. This is all for show. It’s going to cost a ton of money and will achieve nothing. Our 60 year failed War on Drugs should have taught us that you can’t fight this by using force against the suppliers because there will always be more. You need to reduce the demand.

Of course. What an outstanding idea.

Do you enjoy being part of the mob? Makes you feel like you belong, right?

Oh I predicted there would be a big show for sometime. They’ll round up the major bad guys and that’s a good thing. When it comes to the millions of non-violent undocumented people who work in our fields, our restaurants, do our construction and clean our houses - I don’t think these people will be touched. If I’m wrong that would be terrible so I hope I’m right.

Javohll Herr @Strike! Ve vill search ze schools, ze churches…zey vill not get away zis time!!

No-vear to hite!

My hometown of Huntington Beach has just declared itself a “non-sanctuary city” https://ktla.com/news/local-news/huntington-beach-declares-itself-a-non-sanctuary-city/amp/ We are a little bastion of Vichy in our otherwise blue state. So proud!

Truth be told we’ve had drunks in charge of the military before. Ulysses Grant didn’t do a bad job…

Oh I will. What’s ironic is that though things are sad for me politically, my personal life just gets better and better.

All you can do is fight the good fight and keep your chin up!

Laken Riley. And I might feel different if that were the case. I’d like to think that no matter what happened to me and my loved ones I’d be able to keep my logic and not blame a group for the actions of an individual. But who knows? Bigotry and snap judgments are easy. Decency and nuanced thinking is hard.
