The Real timschochet

Wait- now law enforcement was physically assaulted? As in violently attacked? When did that happen?

Interesting. But you didn’t answer the question.

Are there any conspiracies you don’t believe in?

Plus there can be no gridiron without iron.

Total reset? If that means lowering tariffs back to before Liberation Day I will be very much relieved. But I’m skeptical because Trump touted the UK deal and it actually made things worse by nearly tripling tariffs on most items. But I will try to keep an open mind nonetheless: IF this is an actual deal (to be ratified by Congress) IF the deal not only relieves the current situation but involves China actually lowering tariffs they previously had on our products prior to Liberation Day, then that will IMO be a win for the USA and for Trump. Whether or not it’s worth the pain American consumers are about to suffer over the next few months that is already too late to fix will be an open question. And those are two pretty big ifs. Color me skeptical.

I see your memory on this is poor so let me correct you: Trump only gave arms to Ukraine after Congress voted to do so, and only after he tried to hold up the arms and blackmail Zelensky to produce false information about Biden- for which Trump was rightfully impeached (and inexcusably not removed by the Senate.) Only after being caught by a whistleblower did Trump actually release the arms. HTH

Yeah. I heard, Well, Trump deserved two hours of credit anyhow.

Obviously I’m a huge critic of Trump (and will remain so) but I do think this is generally true and I’ve tried to give him credit for it when it’s due, as it appears to be this morning. The problem is that sometimes war can be necessary. In the case of Ukraine they’re defending themselves against a ruthless aggressor. I’m not sure Trump understands that.

If reports are true, President Trump deserves credit this morning for talking India and Pakistan into a ceasefire. Well done.

Hey @Engorgeous George about two hours after I answered your question Stephen Miller publicly expressed his desire to suspend habeas corpus on immigration matters: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/09/politics/miller-habeas-corpus-immigrant-judge Any thoughts?

Which means that, when you DO see it, that turns you on, right?

Fine it was hyperbole. I’m sure there are still good guys within ICE trying to do their jobs. I went too far suggesting otherwise. Mea culpa. But Homan is a thug. And he and Trump have thugs running things there now. And they lied in this case, and in the Abrego Garcia case, and they’re behaving badly as an organization and not the way decent Americans should expect government agencies to behave. Hopefully you will acknowledge this.

Sounds like the mayor was NOT trespassing. He was outside, and was not asked to leave. So more lies; typical ICE bullsh!t. @jerryskids when you say I am full of hyperbole, I really don’t think you have any concept what thugs ICE has become under Trump and Homan.

The mayor was released after huge public outcry.

Neither is hyperbole.

You accuse me of ridiculous hyperbole and yet I’ve never seen you criticize or even note the fact that whenever Trump references undocumented immigrants over the last ten years, from his very first speech after coming up the escalator, he has referred to them as violent racists and murderers. I assume you that I am the opposite of hyperbole on this subject, and I very much stand by the posts you bolded. When I see you and others refrain from the collectivization of mostly good and innocent people, when you stop the dehumanization process which is frankly evil and unfortunately the main attitude of modern day conservatives on this subject, maybe then I’ll let you lecture me on what is and what is not serious, and what is and what is not hyperbole. Not before.

Hello to everyone in this forum. No worries, I am not going to post here on a regular basis. In fact, this may very well be my last post. I just wanted to let you know that whoever the guy is that stole both my name and my avatar and is using it in this forum, that person is not me. I have no idea why he would want to use my name and avatar- at first I was flattered, but then I decided that I didn't want to be misrepresented. Anyhow that's all. Good day.

Now you seem upset.

And stop with the ban bets already. If you’re that serious about it ban yourself. I won’t miss you and I doubt anyone else will either. As for myself I will stick around until I get bored with the stupidity. Cheer up, you’re contributing to that at least.

If they don’t classify everyone that way that’s even more embarrassing- for them and for you. Just stop with this. You’re disgracing yourself.

Anyone who supported ICE during this time period will be ashamed of it years later. It will be remembered as if you supported the folks who interned Japanese Americans during World War II. Or if you supported Senator Joe McCarthy. You’ll be eager to deny it someday.

What are you talking about? What does the timing have to do with it? ICE claims everyone they arrest is a violent criminal. They rarely if ever prove it before a court of law. That’s because they’re lying thugs. It’s embarrassing for you that you use them to make your points. It’s even more embarrassing that you support them. But that’s on you man. Your grandkids will be ashamed of you. Oh well.

You seem obsessed with talking about masculinity. You remind me of an old gay roommate of mine; he was obsessed with that too.

Citizenship or its lack is irrelevant to due process.

Mouth running about what?
