The Real timschochet

Why? What’s your problem with a democratic republic?

Because states rights are stupid. It’s an antiquated system, and the only reason it was put in the Constitution was to protect slavery. There shouldn’t be any states, or electoral college.

What’s weak about it? No shtick here. Something like 80% of the American public want tighter gun control laws; they believe, with reasonable evidence and logic, that such laws will reduce mass shootings. Republicans are beholden to extremist factions within the NRA gun nuts and block it every time. If Biden and the Dems had their way we’d all be a lot safer.

What’s he’s saying is that there’s too many school shootings because Republicans block his every effort to control guns. I’m afraid the idiot is you. Overall violent crime has gone way down under Biden.

Just as in this country, the vast majority of Muslim refugees came to France to escape violence, not to bring it.

If you regard Marine LePen as not far right, you need to re-examine your convictions.

So long as the far right is prevented from being in charge it’s a win- for humanity.

Looks like the French decided to reject this crap after all. Good for them! Hopefully we do the same.

IQ is measured in inches? You’re not very good at this are you?

Is two inches a measurement you’re familiar with?

Looking more and more like Biden is going to stick in. If that’s the case so be it. Maybe he can win after all. Nothings impossible.

If she’s the nominee I sincerely hope you guys keep up this line of attack. I hope Trump focuses on stuff like this- he usually does whenever he’s confronted by a strong woman.

Project 2025 isn’t Q. It was written by the leaders of the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society and close associates of Donald Trump. It may or may not be enacted but it’s not some conspiracy theory. Also @Cdub100 is not a conservative. Anti-semitism and Holocaust denial are views that are incompatible with American conservatism. @Cdub100 is a radical extremist bigot.

Whatever his errors Cuomo was a governor. Trump was my President. As Harry Truman said, this is where the buck stops.

Hmm. You’re wrong. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1191216 Ive always thought people made too much of this. Trump’s incompetence during Covid, which cost this country hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths, had little to do with his comments, stupid as they were. It was his overall policy, or lack of one, which was so incredibly dreadful. For details I highly recommend the book The Divider which is composed entirely of interviews with his closest aides and advisors at the time. Nobody can read that book and come away thinking this guy should be anywhere near the White House ever again.

Whats so ironic about this post is that almost nobody here has less self awareness than you (well, maybe the guy you were responding to.)

You also wrote that you want :Democrats to get what they deserve, which sounds like you’re eager for punishment and retribution. But whatever. What amazes me is that you actually believe that Trump could ever straighten out anything. What in his track record makes you believe this? His incompetence the last time out led to economic calamity and the unnecessary deaths of millions of people. Before that he drove every business he ever had into bankruptcy. Putting all politics aside he’s a corrupt fool who gets everything wrong. What could he ever straighten out?

I never knew turnips were so intelligent.

Understand that I agree that the equity part of DEI is bad for the economy. But compared to Trump’s tariffs it’s like pennies on the dollar. Compared to the current anti-immigration movement of conservatives it’s like pennies on a $500 bill. It’s not even close to the main problem. This is what frustrates me so much about conservatives these days. You guys focus on the minor stuff and you can’t see the forest for the trees. Take the Chips Act. It’s got all kinds of DEI crap in it for sure. All kinds of liberal provisions. But despite all that it will absolutely transform American industry. Long term it’s going to provide huge prosperity especially to red states. It’s a huge win for America. Yet all of you opposed it because you can’t tolerate the DEI stuff. It’s stupid.

In the real universe in which Trump’s tax cuts and tariffs and moves away from energy reform spelled long term doom for our economy.

Well your last paragraph kind of gives it away and provides every rebuttal I would have offered you. Sure you make some decent points, especially the “interfering with market forces” part- that’s the main reason I voted Republican most of my life: but the current crop of conservatives know nothing about market forces and their policies (anti-trade, pro-tariff, anti-migration, anti-globalism) are far worse than liberals. Liberals under Biden at least are cognizant of the market some of the time. So I stand by my assertion- liberal policies are almost uniformly better.

I can’t think of a liberal policy that is inferior to current conservative ideas. Seriously I can’t.

I can’t deal with it because it’s not true. Economically, socially, foreign policy wise- Trump was worse in every way. It’s not even particularly close.

Well you don’t really have to. If Biden refuses to quit, and the Democrats “get what they deserve,” then Trump will be our next President.

I have no idea. The pressure is building and I’m assuming Biden will eventually succumb to it. If he doesn’t, who knows? It’s never happened before.
