The Real timschochet

Here is the letter for anyone who missed it.

Please read the letter I posted from over a hundred respected jurists and legal scholars demanding an end to this sham. It spells it out much better than I could.

Screw that, you don’t care sh!t about the law. These ICE thugs are pissing all over the U.S. Constitution and due process and you defend them. And now they’re trying to intimidate any judge who stands against them. If this holds up there won’t be any law in this country. Which is why it won’t.

She is BRINGING IT! This woman is quickly becoming my favorite Congresswoman.

The indictment itself is already a huge disgrace, a major stain on the Trump Department of Justice. It’s an attempt to intimidate our independent judicial system. https://cfce73f5-6016-42c8-9343-fa96f8863f56.usrfiles.com/ugd/cfce73_cce5d7a9c0b84eb2b4f919b12c901e7e.pdf

Here’s what I wrote: she will not be disbarred, she will not serve any jail time. This is all for show. I stand by it. And you guys better hope I’m right because if I’m wrong then we’re really focked as a nation.

I don’t understand why they can’t admit that their views on this are unpopular. Happens to me all the time. But some of these guys have trouble acknowledging it.

But they’re not the ones running the poll. They’re reporting the poll, but it’s easy enough to check their work. And of course I read Immigration Hub because I very much agree with their philosophy. That doesn’t mean what they report as fact is not accurate.

Say it ain’t so Joe!

Well this would make sense except for that second poll that stated that a majority of the public prefers a path to citizenship to Mass deportation. Of course you’ll reject that poll, but that leaves you with accepting the polls you like and rejecting the ones you don’t like.

No. I’m not going to get into a discussion of my background and what led into my current situation. But what you and @Strike think is not accurate. That’s all.

I think you’re being very simplistic here and really ignoring the amount of time, effort and technique most of these polling firms put in, not to mention their integrity. I think you’re overly dismissive.

I think most Americans approve of the increased tightness at the border and that’s the main thing they wanted. But they don’t appear to approve of the mass deportations.

Of course there is bias. But they’re using polls to prove their point, and that’s at least SUPPOSED to be objective. Unlike @supermike80 I generally believe in polling. It’s not always right but it usually is. When polls showed, a few months back, that most Americans supported mass deportation I accepted that. I figured I was in the minority. On the overall issue of immigration I AM in the minority and always will be- I get that. But it’s nice to see a change on this particular issue, at least IMO.

I’m sure you can. People are intolerant. Fearful. Some are racist. These are realities we all have to deal with. Human beings can be ugly. That doesn’t mean, however, that we need to change our ideals. I believe that ultimately a multicultural society is preferable to a non multicultural society. At least put it this way: if we are to survive as a species, it had better be.

Lol the description of me as a “nepobaby” isn’t accurate, but in any event what I wrote you about our state isn’t based on my own personal experience. Again, I have no argument with your critiques. But you seem to think they define us. That’s where we differ.

Australia, Israel, the United Kingdom off the top of my head. There are probably more.

To answer your question: yes I do. We certainly have many problems here and you’ve stated some of them quite succinctly. Yet despite all those problems we remain the richest state, the 5th largest economy on Earth. I would argue that the good easily outweighs the bad.

Great question. Probably the various Eid celebrations. They can be beautiful to watch. I have been to several Muslim dinners. The love of family is really special.

You’re living in one. There are several others.

This is the point where, if I had written something like this, you would call me a liar.

I think some of you are celebrating just a little too early. The main effects of the tariffs have not been seen by the consumers yet. We ARE seeing them at the ports. The port of Long Beach is currently at 40% capacity. It will take months to bring it back to full speed even if the tariffs on China go back down to what they were before Liberation Day (at 30% they’re still significantly higher.) So I still think we’re looking at some immediate grim times ahead (and I still hope I’m wrong about that.) In the meantime I’m glad inflation has slowed. But it’s important to note that whenever this happened under Biden, all we heard was “it doesn’t matter if it slows, prices aren’t going down!” That argument resonated with the public and I suspect it will continue to do so.

I didn’t accuse you of racism. I accused you of xenophobia, which you’ve certainly shown yourself to be guilty of. And nativism. It’s really ugly but unfortunately it’s a contagious thing like Covid. Obviously the PM of UK has a case, and Trump, and you have a really bad case. As for discussion, your side has proven yourselves incapable of it on this topic the moment you started blaming liberals for every violent crime committed by an undocumented immigrant, and acting as if ALL undocumented immigrants are guilty for the acts of a tiny few. At this point there’s no talking to you about this subject; you guys have become completely irrational, in the exact same way as you’re irrational about transsexuals. The only thing for it is to beat your politicians at the next election, and hope that in the meantime your guys don’t fock things up too badly (it’s probably already too late.)

Your ugliness becomes contagious after a while, unfortunately. Seriously your xenophobia is simply awful. I really feel sad for so many of you here that are so afraid of other cultures. How miserable you guys must be to have these views.

The west is awesome. And aren’t you part Asian? What a moron you are.
