The Real timschochet

I actually prefer Senators because they know how to get things done. Look at Biden or LBJ or Obama. Each one got major legislation passed. Governors typically don’t know how to do that. Senators know how to compromise.

The most qualified candidate to be President in modern times was Hillary Clinton. No doubt in my mind she would have been an excellent President. But the voters rejected her. Oh well.

How would you know? How would anyone know at this point? Was Harry Truman qualified? Or Ronald Reagan? Reagan was a Hollywood B-actor who became a governor of California, and his record here was mediocre at best. He was a terrific President but he certainly wasn’t qualified for it. Trump was probably the least qualified ever, was a horrible President and his experience as President makes him less qualified than Harris, because it’s obvious he’s learned nothing and would only double down on his incompetence, corruption and authoritarian tendencies. Harris was an excellent state attorney general, a pretty good Senator. Impossible to judge her as a VP because none of them ever do anything. She was OK. Whether she’s qualified to be President nobody knows. Hopefully we’ll find out.

If Kamala becomes the nominee this sort of attack will backfire heavily against those that make it. It will energize and unify Democrats and independents.

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-immunity-supreme-court-decision-07-01-24/index.html 6-3 decision. Putting aside the specifics of the cases involving Donald Trump, I feel uncomfortable with this decision. Maybe it’s a good legal decision; I’m not knowledgeable enough to know one way or the other and I’m not going to claim that I am. But it sure feels like we’re giving the President way too much power.

Conservatives and liberals are never going to agree on DEI and affirmative action programs. We simply have different core philosophies regarding this issue. Which is OK. What is NOT okay is the assumption, made all too often by conservatives, that anyone of color who benefited from DEI or affirmative action must automatically be incompetent and underserving of the position he or she is in. Thats where it gets ugly.

Great great concert. I’m on the way back, look up headlines and…Biden tells governors he needs more sleep. Unfockingbelievable, could this get any worse?

Not surprised to see all the various outfits celebrating her different albums. But I’ve also seen dozens of people wearing Kansas City Kelce jerseys. That surprised me a little.

Thanks. Same to your family

That was at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. It’s as Trumpy an area as you will find in this state.

Yeah that’s OK. You keep going. I’m headed to the Taylor Swift concert.

If she DID run a lemonade stand, would she declare bankruptcy?

I remember Trump sending two dudes to Hawaii to investigate his birth certificate. “You won’t believe what they uncovered!!”

Her race played a part. But he didn’t pick her off the street. She is well qualified. She served as an attorney general of the most populated state in the Union, and a U.S. Senator from that same state.

Here is a prediction I feel very strongly about: if Kamala is indeed the candidate, and you guys (especially Trump) pushes the racist line that she is nothing more than a “DEI hire” you will lose the election.

I can only speak for myself: first off, I didn’t buy it. Check into my posts here and you’ll know that’s true. I also thought, and still think, that a lot of the “evidence” you and others were posting was mostly shtick and false. And I’m still not 100% convinced of anything. So I for one was fooled. But so was the MSM. And perhaps there was a deliberate attempt by Biden’s closest advisors to be dishonest but I doubt that too. I think they might have been lying to themselves as well. My reasoning is they never would have allowed that debate if they knew what would happen. So no, I don’t agree with your “we knew all along and you guys lied to us” meme. It’s BS. You didn’t know sh!t and honestly you still don’t.

I’ve gotten the question twice in the last few days from Dutch folks over here: “so is Biden quitting the race?” I say their guess is as good as mine (and mine is not so good.)

Every opinion piece I’m reading says Biden should go. Some ask nicely, some not so nicely, but the pressure seems to be getting overwhelming…

Like I care what a Jew hater and Holocaust denier thinks about my credibility. In your case alone if I end up winning this bet I’m giving it all to the ADL. And if I lose I’ll give another $100, over my usual contribution, to the ACLU in your name. As part of my effort to try and stop the 4th Reich. Happy Independence Day!

Well @Strike sure does. What percent of his posts in this forum are dedicated to me? 50%? Higher? And now he dreams of himself as Leonard Nimoy having sex with me. Disturbing.

The whole time? It takes about 20 seconds to respond to you. I could do it in my sleep (actually I should be asleep, but that’s a different problem. I have Biden-lag.) Also- Amsterdam is a gorgeous old city but hardly exotic.

If I wanted to look like an a$$, I would spend some time studying your posts.

It wasn’t his community, was it? As I recall he drove into a community far from his own, looking for trouble, like the white supramacist thug he is.

Perhaps you’re confusing him with Trump aide Stephen Miller? https://www.gq.com/story/stephen-miller-once-jumped-into-a-girls-track-meet-to-prove-men-are-athletically-superior-to-women

You will be better off when the Democrat, whoever it is, wins the Presidency in November.
