The Real timschochet

No, there will be follow ups, rebuttals, responses. Canned statements won’t get it done.

This is another lie. It didn’t happen. Biden and Obama walked off the stage, arm in arm, old friends.

I’m certain it will be brought up by the moderators.

You sure love to repeat this. The obvious retort is “not quite as stupid as you.”

118 pages of hand written notes? Not what I’m looking for. I have no idea if that’s accurate. What I want is an article, from the Washington Post or the New York Times or CNN, etc, then I’ll believe it. Im not trying to defend Trump. You know what I think of him. But if your assertion was true I imagine it would be a pretty big headline somewhere. There isn’t one. Until there is I don’t believe it, sorry.

No Benny Hill isn’t the Child Catcher. He’s the dude who warns the kids about the child catcher.

The rules for this debate have designed to show us who is more mentally alert, more competent, more knowledgeable, and most important who has better ideas for leading the country. I think many of you realize that Joe Biden is going to prove superior in every one of these categories and that is why we are already hearing excuses. When the debate is over expect to hear from Trump and his supporters that it was all fixed just like the trial.

You may still be right. Trump should be terrified of an actual debate because he’s going to get demolished in real time. He may still find an excuse not to do it.

Lots of suckers around here. But you’ll come around eventually. The Music Man always leaves town in the end.

This is a false narrative. You have been fed lies here. None of this is true.

So Trump goes to a black church and only white people show up? That’s hilarious.

Yep.

Gas prices continue to drop. 15 cents lower than last month. Stop repeating the nonsense you’re hearing and look around.

I have to add that I’m starting to question the accuracy of a lot of these polls. No I’m not a useful idiot like @supermike80. But the method of calling landline phones, which still appears to be prevalent in 2024, is leading to results that are unreliable IMO. Particularly with regard young people and African-Americans.

Good and bad news from this latest poll: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/06/17/trouble-for-trump-in-a-new-poll-on-his-conviction-00163498 Good news in that 21% of independents have changed their minds and will not vote for Trump because of his conviction. One wonders how they could have considered voting FOR Trump before his conviction, and why it’s only 21%. But whatever; if that number holds, Trump will lose. Bad news in that all too many people believe the lies Trump and his allies have spread that this is an illegitimate result. There is long term damage being done to our justice system from these constant attacks.

Nobody would lose their minds. You’re wrong as usual.

I know what Bowman did. January 6 was anything but random and Trump had a role in directing it, as will be proven in court (eventually.) The New York case had credibility despite the fact that it led to the conviction of somebody you support; sorry about that but you don’t get your own facts.

I can’t find any confirmation of this. Do you have a legitimate source? I’m not much into social media as a source for anything.

See I don’t like the guy but this is simply crazy. This is why you guys are such hypocrites. @RLLD calls him a POS, @Strikesays he should be in prison, and you say it’s worse than Jan 6. And yet all 3 of you are planning on voting for a guy for President who is ten times worse than Bowman in every way. Which is why when you wrote this stuff you have no credibility.

Neither statement is correct. Neither statement represents the pro-diversity position. You and other conservatives have created a caricature of what you think liberals are and you prefer that to the truth.

This should be the sentiment of anyone with common sense.

It means, in the warped mind of @HellToupee, that my sympathy towards the plight of most undocumented immigrants is the equivalent of being for rape and murder. Because in his bigoted and perverse point of view all of those who are undocumented are rapists and murderers. It’s a hateful rhetoric shared by millions of people in the age of Trump. It makes me really sad.

Both Trump and Biden are pretty lousy at public speaking IMO. Trump is better than Biden, especially when speaking off the cuff, but that’s a measure of degrees. Neither man comes close to the skills of a Reagan or Obama. But that leads to the question: why should public speaking skills be important to the Presidency? Abraham Lincoln stuttered like Biden does. Harry Truman meandered like Trump does. It’s a really sad thing that we’ve allowed these non-important factors to have such significance.

I enjoy @Engorgeous George He’s witty and I really like his song lyric references. Ironically, though he and I have pretty obvious differences politically, we have very similar musical tastes. But George is simply wrong on most political opinions that he has offered here. And he also suffers from a tendency that I see all too often among conservatives these days: rather than simply offer an opinion and/or rebuttal to liberal arguments, he attempts to offer motivation for those arguments which is usually way off the mark. Go ahead and tell me why you think I’m wrong but don’t try to tell me what I’m secretly thinking.

And this statement is the exact opposite of the truth. It’s far easier to answer questions in front of a crowd. You can shout, interrupt, refuse to answer, give canned one liners- in other words be a clown which is just about the only skill Trump has. Answering serious questions from informed journalists, without the ability to interrupt and play to the crowd, that’s far more difficult. This raises the bar, significantly so.
