The Real timschochet

I read your post the first time. You’re as ignorant of Muslim culture as you are seemingly every other subject. But thankfully it’s not my job to educate you. Just keep your bigotry away from those who make decisions OK?

@jerryskids- the word is “enthusiasm”.

It’s driving the orange man crazy. According to insiders all he talk about is Kamala’s crowd sizes.

Biggest poll swing yet: https://www.silive.com/politics/2024/08/harris-makes-massive-move-on-trump-in-this-key-voter-group-new-poll-shows.html?outputType=amp On July 22 Trump led among independents by 14 points. As of now he is trailing by 9 points!!

I didn’t really club lol. I’m too old. But I was OUTSIDE a few clubs in Taxim Square at night and guess what artist was featured?

Then you haven’t been to Montego Bay.

No I don’t think so. It wasn’t a lie. You’re wasting your time on this stuff.

Yeah but I was talking about Walz. He brought up Trump. Why are you such an idiot all of the time? It’s really embarrassing (for you.)

Most Muslims don’t hate her at all. I was in Istanbul last summer and Taylor Swift was featured on the radio and in clubs. Isis is to Muslims as white supremacists are to Christians. They are a loud dangerous minority.

I defend Trump from time to time. Not lately.

HT brought up Trump; I just responded.

Sorry I don’t see most of this the way you do. Hopefully the public won’t either; I’m pretty confident they won’t. But we’ll find out. With regard to my “team”- I don’t have one. I really like Kamala and want Donald Trump to lose. That’s about it. I don’t particularly have love for Democrats. There are things about Biden that have always really bothered me and I was quite critical of him in 2020 though I’m really glad he won. But a lot of the time during that campaign I thought he was full of and said so. If I thought that Walz deserved real criticism over these issues I would tell you. But I don’t.

No idea if that is true or not. I do know that as President Trump was terrible on LGBTQ+ issues and will be worse this time around: https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/trump-on-lgbtq-rights-rolling-back-protections-and-criminalizing-gender-nonconformity

She will give interviews either during or just after the convention. Perhaps sooner. She doesn’t have a history of avoiding interviews so this seems like a silly prediction on your part, IMO.

One of the things I really admire about Walz is his stance on gay and trans issues. He was way ahead of other Democratic politicians on this stuff, which again goes to his courage and integrity: https://www.advocate.com/election/tim-walz-lgbtq-record#rebelltitem4

I should have known about the video as soon as I saw @Strike’s name that it would be misleading as hell. What a crock of sh!t. So let me get this straight, there are three accusations made against Walz regarding his military service: 1. He left his National Guard unit, after 24 years of service, two months before it was deployed. At the time he left he didn’t know it would be deployed. MAGA has turned this into “he ran away from combat and abandoned his buddies!” 2. Shortly before he quit he was promoted to Sgt. Command Major, which is a very hard position to reach. He never actually served in that position having not completed the formalities, yet his bio for office reads he retired in that position. MAGA had turned this into “he lied about his rank!” 3. In a speech promoting gun control, Walz made the point that civilians were using weapons of war that Walz used during his time in the service; he said “weapons that I used in war”. MAGA has turned this into “he lied about being in combat”. Sorry guys all three of these are nothingburgers. I suppose the last one could be seen as slightly problematic but it’s pretty clear that his overall point was about the weapons in question and not some sort of brag that he was in a war he wasn’t. If he’s pressed on it I’m sure he’ll say he misspoke and shouldn’t have said that. But I don’t think any of this rises to anything the public is going to care about. It certainly doesn’t change my mind about the guy.

Thanks for the clarification. So this is what the big lie is all about? Sorry I don’t care.

The quickest and easiest way to do that is to end the tariffs on China. I’m hoping that Kamala will do so when she’s President.

Well for one thing I don’t attack other peoples personal lives because if I did I’d be a total scumbag. So there’s that.

I’m not familiar with that recording. If he truly lied it’s bad. I suspect however there is more to the story. A week ago I didn’t know who Tim Walz was. From what I’ve read he sure seems like a guy filled with honor and great integrity. His actions as governor regarding transgenders in particular tell me that he’s a brave guy willing to stand up to his convictions. I really like and admire that. I also really like his stances on gays and undocumented immigrants, on Covid and the George Floyd protests. All of this makes he think he is a stand up guy. Perhaps like other politicians he stretches the truth about himself from time to time. That would be unfortunate. Still like him though.

Please don’t refer to me saying any of those things about John McCain because I did not.

Wait let me check. Nah it’s great to be me.

Yeah this is a total BS story. He didn’t run from combat. And while he’s not technically a command Sgt. Major, (due to retirement rules) he was one so referring to himself as one is not a lie. This whole thing is crap and nobody is going to care. Although I never served in the military I take service very seriously. I had an uncle who survived the Bataan Death March, cousins who served in Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s why I thank each and every service member I encounter, both here and elsewhere. You know what matters to me? A politician who calls our military suckers and losers. Who dismissed John McCain as not a hero. A VP candidate who wants to pull us out of NATO. So you can go fock yourself with your BS claims. Seriously.

He served for 24 years. He decided to leave to run for Congress months before there was any deployment to Iraq. This is a nothing story.

Your last sentence betrays a fundamental disconnect from the reality around you. People really do like Kamala Harris. The excitement can’t be manufactured. I keep trying to tell you this but I guess you will refuse to believe it until the election demonstrates it. Perhaps you won’t believe it even then; you’ll find explanations and excuses
