The Real timschochet

She’s gotten so much better as a speaker. Her timing, cadences are really excellent. And the crowd is truly in love with her.

You’ll have many years to complain about her.

I’m a fan of Michael Rapaport as an actor. Pretty disappointing to see him here. You should know that phrases like “unjewed” are pretty offensive.

I really don’t understand it at all. I’ve tried to read about it but I don’t understand what I read. Trump used to be against it, now he’s for it; that’s probably transactional, knowing him. I have no idea what the Democrats think. I’ve heard Trump talk about it recently and he called it a “great thing, the Chinese are all over it”. Does he understand it? I’ve heard investors talk about it but only in terms of can they make money buying shares of it. When that one dude got arrested they made it sound like a big pyramid scheme. But there seems to be a whole lot of people involved, and I assume that some of them are very very smart. I have a banker friend who warns me and everyone to stay away it’s way too volatile. But he’s a very conservative guy (in the general not political sense though I think he’s politically conservative too.) So- anyone here can explain this stuff in layman’s terms? For morons like me? Is this going to replace our currency? Is it a scam? What does it all mean?

We’ll see how delusional I am this November I guess.

Unjewed himself? Beanie? You guys are showing your true colors.

I love how these pundits were predicting that since Shapiro wasn’t chosen the crowd in Philly would be subdued and not that excited. They’re going crazy.

Josh Shapiro getting the crowd warmed up. He is still key to this election, because he will help her secure Pennsylvania.

Lol of course I will. National guard are going to arrest protestors and rioters. They’re probably not going to distinguish between the two (you guys have proven completely incapable of doing so). So it’s good to warn the protestors. And to bail them out if they’re wrongfully arrested, like Kamala did. This discussion is 5 years old and tiresome at this point. Kamala is no leftist radical and Walz doesn’t appear to be one either. Hey you guys should turn on the rally. Starting now, should be really exciting. We’ll get to hear Walz talk for the first time as the presumptive candidate and Kamala’s speeches are awesome!

She was warning protestors. Not rioters, peaceful protestors. Good for her. For the last 5 years conservatives have tried to conflate peaceful protestors of Floyd’s death with rioters. It’s always been a lie.

Trump is not a free market guy. That is a complete lie.

I was actually referring to his unhinged tirade against Brian Kemp from the other night.

There are no socialists to vote for. HtH

I watched the tape. He makes it sound like she enjoyed the rioting. That’s not at all what she was saying.

Who is this DC Draino idiot? He completely misrepresented her. What an a$$hole . This is why social media sucks. What crap you folks pull. So false and so ugly.

He’s really freaking out now. Knows he’s going to lose the race I think and is striking out at anyone and everyone. How soon before he goes after Vance?

As a member of Congress, Walz’s voting record was more conservative than 70% of House Democrats: https://voteview.com/person/20726/tim-walz So much for the “radical left” claim.

Yes you love to bring up family members as I noted in another thread. You’re a class act all the way.

No. They’re not. They’re better to the extent that Trump would make it far worse. But make no mistake Biden’s actions on this have been horrible. My hope is that, with Kamala being from the Bay Area she understands a little more about the Pacific Rim than Biden does and will loosen these trade restrictions once in office. But I have no idea.

He keeps thinking you might post something intelligent, so I’m forced to agree.

Thanks you too.

Many years ago on a different forum I shared the very personal fact that my wife suffered from alcoholism and had entered a hospital for rehabilitation. It was a very painful time for me. I shared the information at the time because I wanted to see if other folks there had gone through what I had and had experience with Al-anon and Continuing Care. I did receive some helpful info and advice at the time. I had no political motive at all and I had no idea that people would, years later, choose to bring this up to attack me. I am very proud of my wife who is now many years sober. I remain, with my wife, heavily involved in AA and Al-anon. Some people here continue to bring this up as if it is some sort of slur against me. During that most painful time of my life, I also wrongly accused my wife of driving our children while intoxicated. That turned out to be completely false, she never did that. But the same folks who choose to bring this up in political threads sometimes bring that accusation up as well. Those who continue to bring this up as some sort of attack against me are scum, IMO. It’s up to you if you want to join their club.

Good description

I wasn’t referring to social issues. But since you are lets go over this again: 1. Americans DO care about abortion and they are strongly with the Democratic Party on this issue. (Not on late term abortions but that is so rare it’s almost irrelevant.) Since the Dobbs decision people are really motivated about this and the ones that are largely vote Democrat. 2. Public opinion on gender transformation is mixed. 60% of the public don’t want teenagers to have this surgery. However, 60% of the public doesn’t believe the government should legislate whether teenagers should have this surgery. But the biggest public reaction on this issue is: they don’t care. Social conservatives, who already lean toward Trump heavily, care about this issue a whole lot. Nobody else does. It doesn’t show up on any list of issues that voters care about. 3. On economic issues, Democrats haven’t moved far left. The economic proposals of Bernie Sanders and AOC have been consistently rejected by the Democratic leadership. To the contrary, Republicans have moved far right.

From what I heard on the news, he didn’t lie about being deaf. He trained with artillery and had lost his hearing. He was speeding over 30 years ago. I doubt the public will care about this.
