The Real timschochet

If you think it’s a softball interview what “tough” questions would you have asked her that she wasn’t asked? The interviewer brought up fracking, the border, Biden’s mental acuity, all the stuff you criticize her for, right? You didn’t like her answers which is fair but how can you say it was softball?

I’m pretty sure that like you most conservatives and Trump fans who watched think she performed poorly. I’m also very sure that most liberals and Harris fans who watched thought she did quite well. I did myself. The question is: how will independents and the undecided who watched think she did? I think more of them will agree with me than with you. But that might be wishful thinking.

Nobody in this society work harder than these migrants. Thats not even a debatable question.

I kind of doubt Jesus would be very happy about mass deportation. I’m no expert about the New Testament but it sure doesn’t seem like that would be His approach.

Man are you off base here. They come here and do work we don’t want to do and they save their earnings and send their kids to college, hopefully with our help. Thats the American dream. It’s the exact opposite of slavery.

I do want solutions. I don’t want YOUR solutions.

This is a good statement. I agree 100% with you.

It’s really too bad that you seem to truly believe this. But it’s an unacceptable answer.

Because the vast majority don’t commit violent crimes and we do need them.

Trump’s time as a relevant political figure is getting short. Very soon he will be relegated to celebrity facing prison time. The Republicans will then have a choice- whether to finally abandon this dark, despicable time in their history (as they finally did with Joseph R. McCarthy) or keep facing unnecessary electoral defeats.

It’s not even a question. Hillary called Trump to congratulate him the very same night. Al Gore conceded the moment the Supreme Court ruled. Neither of them thought the result was a just one and they said so afterwards but they both conceded. The only guy in American history who refused to concede, who tried to falsify the results, who tried to have his Vice President dispute the outcome, and who encouraged a violent mob to storm the Capitol and disrupt the transfer of power, was Donald Trump. Nobody else in either party has done this. (In some state elections certain candidates like Stacy Abrams refused to concede but only for a few days, and they certainly never tried to fix the outcome or encourage violence. There is no “whataboutism” here. There is only Trump.)

And this comes after Trump made a joke about Harris giving blowjobs, which is sure to endear him further to women. I’m sure this sort of stuff will please some of the folks here who spend a lot of time engaged in similar rhetoric. But it’s only going to weaken Trump and Vance further in the polls.

First off it won’t happen. She doesn’t have the votes, even among Democrats, to make this happen. But more importantly people like you continue to look at this stuff in a vacuum. The reality is that if Trump gets in his tariffs will be far far worse for the economy than any capital gains tax. And since Trump doesn’t need Congress to make tariffs happen he won’t be impeded. What you’re effectively saying is “Kamala Harris is going to cost me $500 a year more so screw her; I’m voting for the guy who will cost me $5,000 a year more!”

It’s an excellent idea.

A lot of veterans are really pissed off at Trump: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/28/trump-arlington-cemetery-veterans/74980080007 I’m a little astonished at how big this story has gotten. Trump has been so disrespectful to the military in the past and most people IN the military have ignored it, mainly because they tend to be politically conservative so they don’t want to attack their own side. But apparently a lot of them have finally had enough.

As much as I disagree with most of your posts and find many of them distasteful, I don’t think anyone should mock your service to the United States. I’m grateful for it; thank you.

OK sure.

Because Trump is focused on it. It’s the first thing he brings up about her every time: Im not the one who brings this subject up; your problem is that your guy is a racist.

You can prove it to yourself. Watch the interview tomorrow night and the debate coming up in 2 weeks- if Trump shows up.

He’s right, you’re wrong, but thanks for the compliment. @MDC is one of the smartest guys around here and I’m honored by the comparison.

I so hope Trump makes this argument at the debate. Oh please do.

Why is an alpha chad so afraid of a black woman?

Then you’re just ignorant. Educate yourself.

I’m not worked up, just amused that so many of you seem to think she’s a Communist, without any knowledge of what the word even means.

Also for those who care (not that too many here do based on their posts) Communism means the seizure by the government of the means of production for an economy: private businesses become owned by the collective public rather than individuals.
