The Real timschochet

There is an inevitability about her campaign. I felt that with Reagan and with Obama.

Obama believed in change. I don’t recall him ever talking about FUNDAMENTAL change or using that phrase. He certainly never governed that way. Please link to when he used that phrase.

Where does that quotation come from? Where at this convention do you see that?

Why is this so important? It’s because Republicans shamelessly try to present themselves as the “true patriots”

Mark Kelly looks just like John Locke from Lost.

Unlike the Republicans, the Dems deserve to wave it.

Gabby is awesome. So is her husband.

Didn’t see the point. They still favor Kamala, though not by much: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/22/harris-trump-betting-odds-75-days-before-election/74909226007/ Whats changed?

You should watch tonight. You need to get used to her leadership. She’s about to be your President.

But we won’t take the Irish!

Been working all day and I’m just turning this on. Ready to be inspired.

Pretty great speech. Should win over a few people.

“If you vote for Kamala Harris it doesn’t mean you’re a Democrat, it means you’re a patriot.”

Really? And you’re criticizing him for attacking? Grow the fock up.

The poll is an outlier because it shows independents favoring Trump by 5 points, 44-39. No other poll currently shows that.

Whenever I hear how old and awful somebody looks I only have one thing to say: Keith Richards.

He did plenty of good things. But even the good things he did were sudden impulsive decisions. He never thinks anything out. Except for the need to be divisive.

Wow Lateefah Simon keeping it real.

Who is “they”? Actually never mind I don’t really want to know.

Things were not great. His tariffs were already leading to the inevitable inflation we faced a few years later. But that will be nothing compared to his new tariffs (10-20% on all imports, 60% on China.) “Things were great when Trump was President” is a really lazy statement, because you don’t provide the evidence as to why. If you did you’d have to acknowledged that economic policies take a couple of years to take effect and that it was Obama’s prosperity that we were enjoying, Trump’s terrible trade policies didn’t come home to roost until around 2021, and Biden didn’t help by keeping many of these in place. But it’s nothing compared to the disaster it will be this time around. I really wish some of you so-called conservatives realized this. No true economic conservative could ever vote for Donald Trump.

He was trying to save lives. Social distancing was the only way to do that. Meanwhile President Trump was denying the crisis and caused a lot of people to die.

Nah, no threat. I simply believe the economy will really be hurt by his tariffs and times will be bad for all of us. Obviously if he wins I hope I’m wrong about this but I’m pretty sure I’m not.

OK

Almost everybody that worked for him last time around is voting for Kamala this time around. Some of them, like his former press secretary, was there last night! When has this ever happened before? As Jamie Raskin put it, somebody needs to ask JD Vance, “Does it make you uncomfortable at all that the only reason you’re even here is because the MAGA crowd, with Trump’s approval, tried to put his last Vice President to death?”
