The Real timschochet

What a tough dude you are. Women must adore you right? Such an alpha, kind of like the President. Are you afraid of the cold like him?

Yes they kill both. Not for ideological reasons though; to maintain their power base. Do you understand what a terrorist is? Never mind. The more I try to argue with you the dumber I get. It’s contagious.

Mexico agreed before to Remain in Mexico. It’s terrible policy for us but it will likely happen for now. The “mass deportation” is for show only. We deported 271,000 people last year, a 10 year high. I doubt we will exceed that number by a significant amount this year. Probably won’t even reach it. You’ve been duped again.

Yes. Because I don’t think we should be using military force inside another country who happens to be our biggest trading partner. I think it’s a really bad idea. It’s also inaccurate. The cartels are scumbag criminals. Their aim is to make money. They’re not terrorists and have no political agenda.

I still do. I hope he does the right things for the American people. I’m pleased about the commitment to going to Mars; let’s see if he carries that through. A lot of this other stuff however is not good for us.

Different order. And that one will be legally challenged as it should. We are not at war with Mexico. Congress is welcome to declare one. Unless it does, the President does not have the right to do this,

Sadly nothing happening today is a surprise.

I’m not, I agree with you. Both sides abused it, but Trump was far worse.

You’re right my bad. But everything I wrote about pardons goes equal for commuting sentences. Unacceptable. They attacked the police. You don’t get to do that in a civil society. Ever.

No. It’s not equal. Biden deserves major criticism for his pardons. Trump deserves major criticism for some of his pardons. Every President does. But pardoning the Jan 6 rioters who committed violence (not the nonviolent ones), who attacked police- that’s unique. That’s beyond the pale, worse than any other Presidential Pardons in history. It’s unacceptable, there is no justifiable whataboutism, no reasonable excuse or explanation that can be offered.

Dont agree but I really don’t mind him being pardoned as I wrote. It’s the violent ones, the guys who attacked police officers. Please justify them going free. I can’t, it’s unacceptable. But go ahead, defend it.

It’s too late. The voters knew what they were getting, it’s on them.

The asylum cancellations aren’t meaningless. They will cause real pain to a lot of deserving desperate people. So congrats on that part. But ordering the border “secure” is meaningless.

Less than 24 hours and already an embarrassment. The Jan 6 pardons are disgraceful.

What a sad day.

Meaningless. oh wait now it’s secured! You’re such an idiot.

I don’t care about the non violent pardons though it’s spitting on the Constitution to pardon them. But if he commutes the sentences of the violent ones then he’s committing treason against the USA IMO. But hey he’s done that before too.

No it isn’t; he’s gone back and forth. And there are several people expecting pardons tonight who won’t get them if this turns out to be true.

This still hasn’t happened. And now it’s sounding like it might be limited to non-violent offenders.

Ive always thought you would make a good informer in a police state. It’s your calling!

I doubt it will become necessary for me to hide people the way Anne Frank was hidden, or runaway slaves like the Underground Railroad, but I would if I had to.

It wasn’t my response, it was Sam Seaborn’s:

1. Because it’s next. 2. We’ll find it. 3. Spending isn’t ever either/or. Don’t fall into that trap; that’s a MAGA thing. Fixing bridges and housing the homeless are important things. So is aiding Ukraine. So is nuclear power. So is Mars. We can and should do all of it.

He’s right about Mars though. And the reason we need to go there is easy: because it’s next. If Musk gets us to Mars he can be forgiven his other transgressions: like Werner Von Braun.

I think what I predicted was long term dominance of the Presidency by Democrats (maybe 7 o 8 out of the next 10 elections.) Remains to be seen if I was right about that though admittedly at the moment it doesn’t seem like a wise prediction. But we’ll see. I don’t remember ever writing that Republicans would never win again. Doesn’t sound like me.
