The Real timschochet

Trump says a ton of stuff that he never does. And now we’ll never know.

Wow your bigotry and stupidity is in rare form today. Guess you feel free and unencumbered these days.

I don’t think they would ever have gone through with it. And if they had it would have shone the light on their absurdity. Now this question will never be resolved. The MAGAs will always be able to point the finger at them (“of course Fauci is a criminal, or he never would have been pardoned!”, etc.)

Well nobody except yourself, @Strike and @Hardcore troubadour. It took all 3 of you less than a minute to respond to me. I can always count on my fan base around here.

I think this was a huge mistake. I think it places a permanent stain on the reputation of people who did nothing wrong. I would never have done this.

I wish President Trump well. I didn’t want him, but a majority of voters did. I certainly don’t approve of all or even most of what he’s planning to do but since I can’t stop him I hope that his decisions lead to better things. In short I want to be wrong, I want Trump to succeed because he is President and I want America to succeed. So this morning I hope for the best,

Oh well…

On a more serious note: GL with the Lions. I am rooting for them.

Love this analysis. Classic!

Most of these are beneath comment, but I do NOT put ketchup on hot dogs.

You’re really not very good at this. That wasn’t a lie. I changed my mind.

I have a question regarding your definition, assuming I accept it: does this mean that if a person undergoes surgery that effectively changes his or her gender, that person is then cured?

FTR I didn’t copy and paste anything. What I wrote in the OP is too disjointed and disorganized to be a professional job. I came up with it myself. But if you don’t believe me you’re welcome to try to find another copy.

There is nothing that you wrote here that I couldn’t reverse in equal measure and apply it to you and I believe I would be absolutely correct to do so. My point being: what if, for the most part, the mainstream media is telling the truth? I think they are.

I am opposed to this bill. But @RLLD the answer is yes because the Republicans are going to win the messaging battle on this bill and others like it. To the general public it’s easier to argue for a bill like this than against it: being against it is a more complicated argument. So yes Republicans are going to win the battle on this IMO. That being said, long term it doesn’t really matter in terms of Democrat electoral chances. We remain a two party system and despite all the grumbling that’s not going away. When the Democrats are not in power (like now) they will always be the alternative to the party IN power. No matter how extreme Democrats might get they will still win when the public gets weary of the party in power now. Thats the main lesson I took from the 2024 election.

Thanks!

I think you may have dropped it on your head.

Yes on the links I’m sure. And many other places as well.

Thats not what I saw.

1. My comments about Holocaust deniers were in response to @RLLD’s argument that one should be more tolerant of opposing positions. My answer is “depends on what is being argued” and I offered Holocaust denial as an example of a position that need not be ever tolerated. I never mentioned Donald Trump, not sure where you got that. 2. I don’t know what Joe Biden is like in private, but I am unaware of any antisemitism by him. His close friendship with the late Senator Byrd, who evolved from racism earlier in his life, is not evidence one way or another of Biden’s personal views.

When did I ever post that Trump was an antisemite? When did I ever vote for an antisemite?

1. never wrote that Trump denied the Holocaust. 2. I think both Trump and Biden have made racist comments. But I think Trump’s have been deliberate, designed to stoke division and fear. Biden’s remarks come from age and ignorance and aren’t designed to do anything. 3. I find the sexual accusations about Trump to be credible. Not so much with Biden. 4. Thank you for comparing me to a woke college kid. My daughters and most of their friends are woke college kids and great people and I would be proud to be among them.

And many many conservatives now in the U.S. Senate attended Strom Thurmond’s funeral and said nice things about him. How much do you know about the lives of Byrd and Thurmond? Maybe for once put down the clickbait videos and actually read about the people you’re referring to.

While I tend in recent years to vote Democratic I’m not a member of the party, or any party. I certainly don’t think Trump is Hitler. You may be confusing me with somebody else.

Also: I want you to read what you wrote here and ask yourself this question: how would you respond to it if these exact words came out of a dude who was denying the Holocaust?
