The Real timschochet

Things were not great. His tariffs were already leading to the inevitable inflation we faced a few years later. But that will be nothing compared to his new tariffs (10-20% on all imports, 60% on China.) “Things were great when Trump was President” is a really lazy statement, because you don’t provide the evidence as to why. If you did you’d have to acknowledged that economic policies take a couple of years to take effect and that it was Obama’s prosperity that we were enjoying, Trump’s terrible trade policies didn’t come home to roost until around 2021, and Biden didn’t help by keeping many of these in place. But it’s nothing compared to the disaster it will be this time around. I really wish some of you so-called conservatives realized this. No true economic conservative could ever vote for Donald Trump.

He was trying to save lives. Social distancing was the only way to do that. Meanwhile President Trump was denying the crisis and caused a lot of people to die.

Nah, no threat. I simply believe the economy will really be hurt by his tariffs and times will be bad for all of us. Obviously if he wins I hope I’m wrong about this but I’m pretty sure I’m not.

OK

Almost everybody that worked for him last time around is voting for Kamala this time around. Some of them, like his former press secretary, was there last night! When has this ever happened before? As Jamie Raskin put it, somebody needs to ask JD Vance, “Does it make you uncomfortable at all that the only reason you’re even here is because the MAGA crowd, with Trump’s approval, tried to put his last Vice President to death?”

How about the non-existent protests? The organizers (and some in the media) anticipated 30,000 people would show up and it would be like Chicago in 1968. But only around 3,500 showed up. Desperate to be noticed, they’re burning flags and shouting anti-Semitic epitaphs. But they’re too small to pay attention to. The fact is that, in terms of political impact for this election, the change of candidate from Biden to Harris has effectively made this issue go away.

I find your question very odd. I love my country, I’m invested in it. The USA is the greatest country in the history of human civilization based on our ideals. I want us to live up to those ideals. That’s why I care about these issues, and others.

You have already. Cops don’t stop you and harass you simply because you’re driving through a nice neighborhood. You don’t have to have “the talk” with your children. People don’t wonder if you truly deserve whatever job you have or if you’re an underserving “DEI hire.” In a million little ways your life is simply preferable to being a non-white person.

Lolololol Conservative websites like Breitbart look desperately for black celebrities who don’t like Kamala. So this time they produced a dude I haven’t thought about for maybe 15 years: Kwame Brown! https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2024/08/19/graphic-language-hard-in-the-paint-basketball-star-kwame-brown-says-kamalas-skin-color-aint-gonna-pay-for-our-groceries/ Thats right, “Bag of Chips” Kwame Brown (as in “if you traded Kwame Brown for a bag of chips it would be a great trade, not so much for the guy who had to give the chips away!” I think that was the great Jerry West. ) Easily the most worthless player in Lakers history. But Breitbart describes him as “basketball star Kwame Brown.” Lolololol

Not a lie. Just a different point of view. (A liberal point of view.)

Yikes! Well if they were ever going to do it, this would be the year as they avoid having to play either Ohio State or Michigan. But their schedule is still a total nightmare and with a brand new defense, lucky to have a winning record.

I’m not saying that Kamala is going to win; it’s still a toss up election. BUT- you can see the difference between the two conventions- this one is so much more positive. I think it makes a real difference to voters.

Nope. Not theoretically or otherwise. They’ve poll tested this out in every swing state. His presence or absence makes no difference whatsoever. The main flaw in your thinking is the assumption that a candidate “owns” his voters; that if he endorses somebody else they go along with him. That never happens.

It doesn’t? I inherited money from my father. So did Donald Trump (a whole lot more than I did). And while a whole lot of white people didn’t inherit anything, most of them still benefited from white privilege in every aspect of their lives. Which is why no one should complain when we as a society use affirmative action and DEI to try and even the odds a little. Just a little.

America’s first couple- so much love.

Where’s the hate?

The tranny attacks against her are because she’s a strong woman. The Chewbacca attacks against her are because she’s a strong black woman.

Wow she is destroying Trump.

Another great speech by Michelle. For someone who hates politics she sure is good at it. “The affirmative action of generational wealth”. What a great line.

Michelle the queen! Of all the ugly and stupid conservative memes in recent years, possibly the ugliest and stupidest is the portrayal of Michelle Obama as a tranny or a man. (Prior to that she was compared to Chewbacca.) Just a bitter attack from morons who just can’t stand a strong black woman.

I have sympathy for the Palestinian people. Not Hamas. I have no sympathy for anyone who burns an American flag.

Most of Bernie’s agenda will never be adopted by the Democratic Party. Nor should it.

George Soros does fund many progressive groups but somehow I doubt he’s funding pro-Palestinian protestors, some of whom are very anti-Semitic.

Nope, but it’s true. And it ain’t racist. See what you guys never get is that identity politics- being pro-black, pro-Latino, pro-Asian- none of that is racist. Only being pro-white is racist. Why is that? Because not only have whites had the overwhelming societal, business and political power for the entire history of this country, but we used that power consistently to oppress anyone who wasn’t white. (Or male, or Christian, or heterosexual.) So all of these other groups are just trying to gain a little equality and stop the oppression. More power to them.

It’s not a nightmare. Nobody cares, it won’t matter at all.
