The Real timschochet

Either Trump is lying or John Kelly. Who ya gonna believe?

Biden is doing better on abortion- slightly

Biden is not doing well so far. Trump is beating him. We’ll see if it continues.

This is the post of a guy who figures his man is going to lose tonight.

Double shots when Trump says “like nobody’s ever seen before” and Biden says “no I really mean it.”

I am going to try and go back to sleep so no promises. It’s news that Melania is keeping her distance IMO. Amsterdam is beautiful- the downtown anyway. The canals actually remind me more of the Riverwalk in San Antonio than Venice. But of course the buildings are totally different. Most of them were built around 1900- guide was telling me that although Rotterdam ( the port) was completely destroyed, the city itself avoided major damage because they surrendered quickly in 1940 and then the Nazis surrendered quickly in 1945. So nothing had to be rebuilt and it’s gorgeous.

Just a point on this: Van Jones is a political pundit . CNN has both liberal and conservative political pundits- MSNBC only has liberal, Fox only conservative. Which is why, IMO, CNN is the most neutral of the 3 (though as a liberal myself I prefer MSNBC.) But Tapper and Bash don’t fall into this category at all. They’re journalists.

Hey everybody. Posting from Amsterdam because…I can’t sleep. I honestly wasn’t going to stay up to watch this; figured I’d read about it tomorrow. And I gotta be up in a just a few hours so I was really hoping to get some sleep. But the jet lag gets me every time. The first few days on one of these trips I will fall asleep like normal…and then 2-3 hours later I wake up and I‘m wide awake, nothing to be done. So I guess I’m watching after all.

Sorry but I’m not going to let you get away with this lie. Trump called undocumented immigrants “vermin” and said they were “poisoning the blood of our country”. That was language copied directly from Adolf Hitler and Tapper pointed that out. As a journalist he was absolutely correct to do so, it would have been irresponsible of him not to. He wasn’t comparing Trump to Hitler, he was comparing the language. Now YOU can fock off.

His reasons were sound but thankfully Trump had guardrails in place. He won’t this time. I will be shutting it. Off to Europe!

Oh somebody is responsible all right. That somebody is Trump for instructing Republicans to kill Lankford’s immigration deal that would have given us border security finally. He ordered it killed so that he could use the issue in the election. It’s also quite bigoted to blame the actions of a tiny handful of bad people on millions of undocumented immigrants, the vast majority of who commit no violent crimes whatsoever. But you and your buddies keep doing this. I don’t know whether you’re just ignorant, or stupid, or hateful, or lazy, or a little of each. Whatever the reason it’s repugnant.

Sure I do. When has he been wrong?

He will for sure bring up the 12 year old that was killed and try to blame Biden for it. Ugly ugly ugly and a total lie. Hopefully Biden tears him apart.

All the excuses already. It’s so laughable. The rules are against him, the moderators are against him, the network is against him. Of course the truth is that the FACTS are against him. But that’s the part they can never admit.

Too bad.

Yes. This is true.

One of the biggest problems we face today is the conservative rejection of any expert that tells them something they don’t want to hear. With Covid that cost us millions of lives. With climate change it’s leading us towards catastrophe. But to answer your question, of course I have thoughts of my own. Here’s one: high tariffs will be an absolute disaster for the American economy. Trump’s words on this issue demonstrate he understands nothing about economic issues and cannot be trusted.

On Earth 1 (the real world which exists outside of the right wing echo chamber) CNN is non-partisan and the moderators are excellent neutral journalists. Which is why the Trumpers think it’s unfair.

What can I tell ya? 16 Nobel prize winners. I kind of trust them about economic issues, though I really didn’t need them to tell me that Trump’s two main ideas of high tariffs and mass deportations of migrant workers will both be economic catastrophes. And now Reuters is biased???

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/06/23/texas-cair-hate-crime-muslim-child/74187592007/ So awful. I didn’t hear about this until tonight. President Biden has condemned this; good for him. Trump, of course, is silent.

Yes. Because none of the issues you mentioned is as important as Trump’s tariff plan. It will be a catastrophe to our economy. It will make your savings worthless. Read this: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/16-nobel-prize-winning-economists-say-trump-policies-will-fuel-inflation-2024-06-25/

Biden will spend a little. Not as much as Trump will. If Biden has control of Congress he will raise taxes. But I doubt the Dems will win in the Senate. If you’re truly concerned about these issues, neither candidate is a good choice but Biden is much better than Trump. And that’s true with regard to all economic issues.

I enjoy Sourh Park. But applying that joke here is racist. I don’t like Bowman and if that story is true is an idiot and I’m glad he’s gone. Using the N word, even in jest, in this context is bigoted.

Do you have any real numbers, statistics, to back this up?

The way she votes harms me and all other Americans.
