The Real timschochet

Betting his approval rating shoots up after this.

Nicolle Wallace just made a great point: “We’re so hard wired to accept the worst”. She was talking about cynics like @StrikeJoe Biden is just a really decent human being and he did the right thing here for his country. It’s really worth our admiration, whatever your political views are.

Didn’t know you were in the room.

Tonight Joe Biden explains why he is willing to do something Donald Trump refused to ever do: voluntarily give up power. This is what being a true alpha is all about.

Not enough. There will be tears of sadness and joy.

Democratic voters feel very disenfranchised tonight. Sure they do. Tonight will be a celebration, and a love fest. You need to feel the love.

The passing of the torch tonight.

Momentous soeech coming up here. I suspect it will be very personal and moving.

Fun fact: Joe has to be formerly invited to Congress to go there.

Kamala in her address today: We’re not playing around.

You’re aware that Kamala is married to a Jewish guy right?

I know this seems to make sense to you but you’re not thinking real clearly here. A prolonged war over there will cost you far more money than the taxes you’re paying now. The main problem with the anti-globalist position is that our way of living is dependent on the flow of goods and trade involving the entire planet. There’s no way to escape that. It’s actually a great thing because it’s led to our prosperity. But it also means we can’t ignore the world.

He did have some good lines. The best one: I saw a sign that said “Gays for Gaza”. They might as well have had a sign that says “Chickens for KFC”

This is what I mean by cherry picking: the main point of my post was that Bibi is unpopular in Israel and that the public there doesn’t approve of his handling of the war. But you didn’t challenge that. Instead you challenged the 70% number which is minor to the main point. And that is what you try to do all the time: you want to prove me wrong in certain numbers and statistics but you never want to tackle the central arguments. And do you ever write: “here’s what I think about Israel, here’s why you’re wrong about Bibi”? No. You just write “you lied about 70%, you made it up.” Yes I want intelligent discussion. But I doubt I will get much from you.

They’re not. And you’re cherry picking. The Israeli people correctly want this guy gone and soon he will be.

First off you’re wrong about Kamala. She can deliver better speeches than this. Second- did you notice how he did NOT call for Hamas to be destroyed? Only degraded. Which means that he’s given in to Biden’s position. Which is a good thing. Biden will be remembered, among other things, for solving this war. Third, Bibi’s main position remains problematic. He wants a different Palestinian partner besides Hamas, which is reasonable. But then he rejects the only other Palestinian partner, Fatah, which is NOT reasonable. That’s why the Israeli people have decided, correctly, that he needs to go.

Oh noes not the 538 polls again!

I never make up numbers

Reported on CNN just now. Wolf Blitzer’s show. I’m not going to look it up, you can.

Bibi fled Israel with a 30% approval rating. 72% of Israelis want him to resign. But he found relief in Congress today where Republicans gave him numerous standing ovations. He’s still loved by MAGA.

You need to wake up, it’s a brand new day. Very shortly Harris’ approval ratings will be in the 50s or higher.

Since RFK’s only purpose is to help Trump win this seems inevitable.

I honestly don’t think most people here are racist. You’re an exception though; I thought you were proud of it.

Don’t get upset now.

Whitmer has already said she doesn’t want it. But I don’t think it’s going to be her anyhow. I think it’s either Kelly or Shapiro. Both make great sense, I lean towards Kelly.
