The Real timschochet

I am the racist? How messed up must you be to think that? Everything in this forum is so twisted.

The police officer killed was a Muslim. This is interesting given the tremendous anti-Muslim bigotry that shows up on this forum on a regular basis (and in the last few days.)

The NYPD officer who was shot and killed tonight was a Muslim immigrant from Bangladesh: https://migrantinsider.com/p/nypd-officer-from-bangladesh-killed Remember that this thread was started by a guy who suspected that the killer in Michigan was a Muslim, and who quoted Laura Loomer who had the same suspicion and wrote “Deport them all.”

I don’t think that mentally ill people should be allowed to own guns.

Lol really? So now you think I hate Israel? You, and many others, have become irrational on this topic IMO. I’ll repeat what I wrote earlier: leftists think Israel is evil. Rightists think Israel can do no wrong. These are not rational opinions.

No I don’t. I am extremely skeptical that UNRWA is a “Hamas shill”. Are you aware that there are mass demonstrations going on in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem right now in protest of the actions by the Israeli government? That the former Israeli prime minister, and several members of the IDF, have spoken out against this?

I already have.

It’s my assumption. I’m astonished you would try to argue it.

I am not in favor of starving Hitler Youth to death. That would be an evil act IMO.

It’s seems very important to white conservatives to make the argument that minorities, particularly black people, can also be racist. I have never understood why this is so; it strikes me as very defensive and irrelevant. But whatever. Let’s acknowledge the fact that any person or group can be racist against any other person or any other group and often are. That being said, in THIS country, both in our long history and in the present day, 99% of the racism that occurs has come from white people towards other, darker races.

My thoughts are that he makes a lot of good points. Hamas has been awful. Hamas is evil. Hamas has dehumanized the Palestinians. He’s absolutely right. But it still doesn’t excuse the Israelis and that’s where he (and you) go astray. Let’s talk about one very specific accusation here: that the Israeli government directed the IDF to deliberately keep Palestinians away from refugee aid by creating fire zones blocking all passages to them in Gaza. Which means there is no way to get food because if you attempt to reach it you will be shot. And that they did this systematically in order to starve the Palestinian people and reduce their numbers. That is what appears to have happened, and if so it is a crime. No amount of evil by the Palestinians or Hamas can justify it.

Since @Hardcore troubadour won’t say who Trump is going to indict first I decided to go directly to the source. And apparently the answer is….Beyonce!! https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/27/politics/trump-beyonce-prosecute-fact-check Bet you didn’t have this on your bingo card. Is Taylor next?

The only inconsistency about you is how upset you get over being called a racist. Why not just own up to it? You certainly seem proud of it anyhow.

My grandparents were “ghetto trash” because they were forced to live in certain areas? Dude you’re disgusting. Go hang out with @Cdub100; you guys deserve each other.

Oh this should be illuminating. I am ready, as a Jew, to be educated. Please give us your plan for helping minorities.

15% deal reached with Europe. I suppose we should be relieved that it’s not higher, which would truly have wrecked our economy. 15% is not good though. It’s still going to be a painful tax that will hurt us. It will eventually be passed on to the consumer. And for what?

We’re just lucky he wasn’t making some kind of “j” sound- @Cdub100 would be all over that.

I feel like love of Sydney Sweeney could unite liberals and conservatives.

Larger point here: I detest that the two main topics of conversation, both here and in the national news, are about conspiracy theories: Epstein and Russiagate. Issues that truly affect the American people (immigration, tariffs, the big beautiful bill), and issues that affect the world (Gaza, Ukraine, climate change) are ignored while we fight over this nonsense. It’s frustrating and infuriating, IMO.

2nd request: please tell us who will be charged and with what crimes. TIA

I definitely do NOT agree with this at all.

We don’t really have to convince ourselves too much. HTH

You support a President who has done more damage to America in the last year than any politician in American history. When are you turning yourself in?

Please make your prediction: who will be indicted and for what crimes?

And this is the counter argument to the people who keep bringing up guns: you can only do so much damage with a knife. If this dude had an AR-15, there’d be scores of folks dead. That is not an argument for more gun control or banning AR-15s, etc. But it also seems silly to me to try to use this incident as an argument for LESS gun control as so many of you here have done.
