The Real timschochet

What was the question again?

Again no hypocrisy that I can see. I believed, and still do, that Trump committed serious crimes during his first term as President and deserved prosecution (and still does.) I don’t see any connection between this and his health (or Biden’s).

I don’t think it’s hypocritical. You’re welcome to differ. But whether it is or not doesn’t change the question about President Trump’s health.

The Supreme Court has already ruled that the President can’t fire members of the Federal Reserve without cause. Most legal experts say that an unsubstantiated claim of wrongdoing (since she has never been charged with anything much less found guilty) is not cause.

Actually the wrongdoing Trump accused her of took place prior to her appointment to the Federal Reserve.

It didn’t originate out of thin air. If you watch the guy lately he doesn’t look well.

It didn’t take long for somebody to bring up Biden. Biden’s gone. Trump is President. And there appears to be something wrong with him.

Well that’s the accusation, Trump was found guilty in a court of law. She hasn’t even been charged. So your statement is false.

Today’s hero: Lisa Cook, Federal Reserve: https://www.axios.com/2025/08/26/trump-fires-federal-reserve-lisa-cook Easy choice this morning. She responds to Trump’s illegal firing by refusing to leave. She is helping to protect the integrity of our federal reserve, so vital to us as a nation. Three cheers.

Let’s hope this is true because if it is someday Trump will be in prison where he belongs.

The attempted removal of Lisa Cook is the biggest news tonight, perhaps the biggest news in a few months (since he imposed the tariffs.) This is not a distraction, it’s the story that all the distractions are designed to keep us from thinking about. If the Fed is perceived as Trump controlled rather than an independent body there will be severe economic consequences.

Maybe she will. Maybe she deserves to. I have no idea. But the main issue haven’t changed here. In December of 2020, President Trump committed a serious crime in Georgia, attempting to interfere with the national election. He deserves to be prosecuted for that crime, and punished (I would think with jail time.) This will probably have to wait until Trump is out of office and involve a new prosecutor, but it really does need to happen.

I argued then that inflation would eventually go down, because it was mainly caused by the Covid 19 crisis. I think I was right about that. This time around the inflation is caused by the tariffs, and completely unnecessary.

The Supreme Court gets to decide.

So true. Everytime I go to the grocery store it burns.

I have never encountered a person, either a celebrity or a politician or somebody I know personally, who is better at changing the subject than Donald Trump. Not even my wife.

Not really since his economic ideas are just terrible.

It depends on the issue.

He hasn’t done anything heroic. I don’t even think he’s a good guy particularly. I just want him to get equal protection under the law. His lawyer maybe. I’ll consider that.

No. My bad. He spent so much time in the 80s in Huntington Beach that I thought he was from there. Got that wrong. I met him in an old time folky coffee shop on Main Street. I can’t even remember the name. They had an open mic night and I played guitar and sang. I wasn’t very good but he applauded and shook my hand after. True story.

They do. That is what is unlawful about so many of these mass deportations. Every single person the government attempts to deport should absolutely get their day in court, with proper representation, no matter how long it takes.

As far as my honesty- this will be settled in court. Abrego Garcia appears to have good attorneys, so if I’m right and this latest detainment is illegal he will be quickly released to await his trial. If I’m wrong and you guys are right he will be quickly deported. Let’s see what happens here.

I like Henry. From my hometown. Met him once, back in the day.

Because that’s what the Supreme Court said the first time the government deported him.
