The Real timschochet

His argument is that he doesn’t have the manpower to do so: “Give me the border patrol, give me the people, give me the judges.”

Here’s my point: by killing the border deal Republicans are allowing Democrats to go on offense on the border issue: https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/31/politics/democrats-immigration-strategy/index.html Now is this gonna work with the MAGA folks, or Republicans in general? Hell no. But will it work with independents? Maybe. Probably. “We tried to fix it and Republicans said no because they want to win the election and that’s all they care about”- it’s a compelling argument.

My evidence is the last several election cycles. You’re quite right that Democrats are incompetent at messaging but the Republicans have proved even more inept as of late. This whole impeachment of Mayorkis thing makes them look even more ridiculous.

I’m not terrified. The world won’t end. But I think it will be dreadful. Ukraine will be lost. Taiwan will be threatened. The economy will be far worse. Undocumented immigrants and Muslims will be mistreated. Police power will be increased. We will go the wrong direction on climate change. Tariffs will go way up. It will be a dreadful time, far worse than the first time around since there will be far fewer guardrails.

Why? First off they’re not exactly begging; she’ll do it. She despises Trump (but truthfully what reasonable person doesn’t?) Second if she energizes young people to vote that will help lock up the election. Not pathetic at all.

@Horseman is one of the people most obsessed with gays and trannies in this forum. He always wants us to know what a real man he is. I suspect he’s into gladiator movies.

Horseman? What masculinity?

No this is the exact opposite of the truth. Our enemies fear Biden. If Biden is replaced with Trump, Putin will know that he can get away with Ukraine and China will know they can get away with Taiwan. Trump is a coward and won’t lift a finger.

I’m over 50, not so impressive.

There are, of course, two narratives here for the public to choose from: The Democrat narrative is that Biden and the Democrats gave in to almost all of Republican demands on the border in order to reach a compromise which would also include funding for Ukraine and Israel, after Republicans insisted on tying them all together. And that even after all this was done, Republicans killed the deal because they really don’t want a deal: chaos on the border helps Trump. The Republican narrative is that this deal is really just another amnesty open borders package that does nothing to fix the border and that only RINOs would support it. The problem with the Republican narrative is that it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. And that there is evidence that Trump really did get House Republicans to do a 180 on what they previously wanted. I suspect Democrats will win the messaging war here because they’re got the truth on their side. Doesn’t really help us though.

All of our allies are praying that Biden stays in office. They have no respect for Trump whatsoever because he is such a joke. Only our enemies and those who want America weakened are hoping Trump wins again.

If you’re going to quote the poem get it right. But honestly you shouldn’t quote it. You’ve lost the right to do so.

Fear of the powerful woman. She threatens the patriarchy.

They certainly did. Read the Mueller report, he obstructed justice on at least 10 occasions as detailed in that report.

You don’t need the best QB. Roethlisberger was never the best QB in the league. You need an elite QB. There’s never more than 5-6 at any one time but you need to have one of those guys. ETA- I think Purdy is an elite QB.

Bill Cowher same thing. Tremendous coach, but you can’t win the Super Bowl with Neil O’ Donnell very often (almost did though.) Or Kordell Stewart. Cowher didnt win until Big Ben came along.

I love Andy Reid, but I do feel kind of sorry for Marty Schottenheimer. He had great success with those Chief teams but never had a great QB. Imagine if he had Mahomes? It makes all the difference.

It depends on what George Soros and Joe Biden order him to do. I don’t think they’ve decided yet.

Not everything but a whole lot is. Conservatives are having a lot of trouble accepting reality, whether it’s climate change, Obama’s American citizenship, Covid-19, Biden’s victory in 2020, or Taylor Swift’s popularity. The truth behind all of these topics is displeasing to you guys, so you simply reject it and choose to believe conspiracies instead. It’s pretty sad but that’s where we are.

1. Yeah a few talked about impeaching Trump. On Biden’s first day in office, Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Biden. None of this has anything to do with the Justice Department. 2. The Justice Department didn’t use any fake dossier. Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions, whom Trump appointed, investigated Trump at the behest of Republicans in Congress after Trump fired James Comey and lied about it. The Russia investigation that followed revealed Trump obstructing justice and possible collusion. All of this was justified, none of this was fake. Stop drinking Trump’s koolaid.

I love how when the Justice Department is after someone on the left, you guys discuss it as if it’s legitimate news (which it is). But whenever they’re after somebody on the right (especially Trump) it’s all part of an evil plot.

The truth is against him.

Seems to me the only activists on the SC are the ones who overturned Roe. She wasn’t one of those.

Basil Rathbone is one of those awesome names you never hear anymore.

Not impossible. Meaningless is more like it.
