The Real timschochet

Agreed. I don’t even especially like Greta Thunberg. But this was just stupid.

I know you think you’re being humorous or sarcastic, but actually this statement represents your delusional stance on about 90% of the issues you comment on in this forum.

It’s fake. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-greta-thunberg-did-not-post-photo-of-herself-holding-6-million-wasnt-enough-sign.html You’re posting fake stuff, irresponsibly feeding into your hatred and bigotry. And it isn’t the first time.

Seriously are we going to have to wait until one of these judges or their family gets attacked before we toss Trump’s ass in jail? Nobody else would ever be allowed to get away with this sh!t.

That’s.a fake poster.

You need to study a little Palestinian history. Seriously you are letting Trump’s bigotry (calling whole groups of people savages and animals) rub off on you. It’s sad and frankly very un-American.

I have no idea. But at some point Netanyahu is going to be forced to hold an election. That election will be, in effect, a referendum of his actions in Gaza. Then we will know.

Thousands of protesters march in Tel Aviv, demand an end to the war and Netanyahu to step down: https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-04-06-24/index.html @Strike this is what I meant by “many Israelis”.

You’re right I do believe that women can get pregnant. You have to help them though.

OK but you think a man can get pregnant. (Just trying it out. Seems to work as a good rebuttal for everyone else around here.)

Are you sure? It might not even be the stupidest thing he’s posted this morning.

Great question. im a Zionist for historical reasons, and because of my family and heritage it means a lot to me. I support the state of Israel very much and hope to visit some day. I do not support Netanyahu and the conduct of this current war. That doesn’t touch my Zionism. In fact, I think my Zionism informs my judgment on this, since I am convinced that what Bibi is doing here is making Israel less safe not more. The analogy I would offer you is the Vietnam War. Those who opposed it didn’t love America any less, they simply opposed what we were doing over there.

Now in this case Amazon is the culprit. And too much competition. There are major changes coming to retail and certain types of stores are going to go out of business.

It’s revealing that all 3 of your points are about transgenders. 99% of liberals don’t think about this issue at all unless confronted with it by angry conservatives. Without getting into detail about it most of us just want everyone to be loved and respected and not mistreated for who they are or who they want to be. Any and all policy concerns are rooted in that principle.

I feel like this is basically true of the conservative movement in the last decade or so, in the age of Trump. Nicolle Wallace calls it “living on Earth 2”. They’re not in the same reality as the rest of us.

This is not my argument. It’s one that I don’t subscribe to. I don’t buy into the “it happened on his watch” thing. It’s lazy IMO. I think Trump deserves blame for specific things that he did and didn’t do, detailed in the 3 articles I linked (despite @Strike’s disclaimer.)

https://www.americanprogress.org/article/5-ways-trump-administrations-policy-failures-compounded-coronavirus-induced-economic-crisis/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-policy-failures-have-exacted-a-heavy-toll-on-public-health1/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/politics/trump-covid-pandemic-dark-winter/

He didn’t destroy them but his long inexplicable delay in using the power at his disposal made them far worse. Trump’s response to Covid must go down as the worst response of any President to a crisis in American history, no exceptions, not even James Buchanan or Herbert Hoover. He basically froze for months, denied the crisis, refused to take any positive action, tried to lay it on the states, tried to blame anyone he could (including, typically, a racist attack against the Chinese.) Because of operation Warp Speed late in his term he doesn’t get a total F but he does get a D-. His inaction led to the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Since he has been out of office, his refusal to whole-heartedly embrace the vaccines and his willingness to lend his name to crackpot, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories have caused the deaths of many more people, most of whom were his followers. So tragic, stupid and unnecessary.

Based on your comments here you and I are so far removed on these subjects that I don’t know if it makes any sense to engage in further discussion. But I will try: Yes I believe that our justice system, and life here in general, has been historically unfair to certain groups of minorities in this country. I don’t regard that belief as “excrement”. It’s based on facts and history. It’s pretty insulting to use that word to describe it. People are not indoctrinated with these facts. No one is “going after” Trump. He’s been charged in several court cases for committing actual crimes. I believe he committed them. Trump is not being unfairly treated (except for the fact that he is receiving far more lenient treatment than you or I would- in that sense and that sense alone he is being unfairly treated.)

Again you’re speaking in generalities, and I really have no idea what you’re referring to. It would help if you wrote “on such and such date Joe Biden committed this act and it caused this painful outcome.”

The first link is to an opinion piece: The author offers a pov, one that I disagree with, but it certainly doesn’t back up a single one of your statements. The second link is focused solely on the New York hush money case. Not sure how that’s even relevant. And again it’s reporting certain people’s opinions, no facts are presented. Making the claim that the Georgia case is a political persecution, and that the system is being “wildly abused” are pretty serious charges and if you want me to take you seriously you need evidence to back it up.

So if I don’t accept your narrative I don’t care about people? Again stop worrying about my biases and what I care about and present some facts to support your positions.

If it’s real you have to prove it, show some evidence. Forget bias, present some facts.

Again “when Biden has harmed so many”- are you referring to his policies? Or something more nefarious? If it’s the first then I respectfully disagree the you, and we can have that debate. If it’s the second then once again you’re trapped in MAGA fantasyland.

Many of your comments here are based on no reality, actually a fantasy they exists only in MAGAland. For example: “a system being wildly abused” ”this is…emphatically…political persecution” ”not unlike she is doing (gamesmanship)” “I object to her being extorted into it” NONE of this is real. NONE of it is related, in any way, to what is actually happening.
