The Real timschochet

Damn, both accepted a CNN debate on June 27. Unfortunately I will be on a flight to Europe that day, and all of you will miss out on my brilliant commentary and analysis.

More info on the debates per NPR: Trump said the dates are acceptable to him but wants an audience. Yes I do believe this could be a sticking point. Trump also didn’t respond to Biden’s other conditions: no third party candidates, and the mic is off when it’s not one’s turn to talk, so nobody can interrupt (in their first debate in 2020, Trump interrupted Biden every few seconds.)

So stupid. Like I said it’s old shtick. Come up with something new.

You’ve never proven me a liar. Ever. You’ve proven me wrong at times (mostly on irrelevancies) but never deliberately so.

I have some Muslim friends that feel exactly the same way. Religious people of all stripes seem to have chauvinism in common. Personally I hope my daughters find happiness however they can. It’s not my place, or society’s, to direct them on what will make them happy.

I don’t believe in moral relativism either. Thats the main reason I defend transgender rights. I don’t know any transgenders in my life and in truth the ones I’ve met make me uncomfortable. But there is a principle involved here which is that they have the right to live their lives without interference or discrimination. To me that principle is a moral absolute; the exact opposite of moral relativism.

Individual rights. People should be left alone to do as they wish unless they harm others. Classic liberalism.

Biden wants no studio audience, Trump does. I have no link; this was just reported on Morning Joe on MSNBC. Some of the folks there are skeptical and they assume that Trump will find a way to avoid this. Personally I believe the debates will happen because ultimately neither guy will be the one who wants to back out. Of course, in a month or so Trump may have to get the approval of his parole officer, so there’s that. I don’t lie, ever, your shtick is already getting old,

Biden offers two debates: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/05/15/biden-general-election-debate-trump/73697631007/ Trump says sure. But they disagree on conditions so we’ll see.

Biden’s tariff decision is terrible. It’s not as bad as Trump’s would be for the simple reason that Biden is mainly limiting it to one country (China) while Trump wants tariffs on all countries: Even so it’s an awful decision. If the Republican Party offered a free trade candidate as in the old days, he or she would get my vote.

I don’t lie at all.

If you think I approve of what Biden is doing with tariffs guess again. What a disaster.

Time for a little gallows humor: On Mother’s Day I was at a friends house in Huntington Harbour with my daughter, and we went for a cruise on his boat around the harbour. Beautiful homes, and a very conservative part of town- Trump flags were flying everywhere. Then my daughter, who is more liberal than I am, got excited as she spotted a Biden sign in the distance. “Look Dad! A Biden sign!” As we got closer we saw the whole sign: “Biden for Prison”.

I will never call for an impeachment again. It’s an impossible task. I will certainly criticize Trump when he does things I strongly disagree with (which I anticipate.)

Fock you Cohen. Nobody is going to forgive you. Anyone who works for Donald Trump doing the stuff you did is a scumbag.

Nope. If Trump wins I will congratulate him, and his supporters, and hope for the best.

Taking him seriously (which is pretty dumb in itself) is not the same as wanted him to win. And squis denies it too. So you still haven’t provided anyone who wanted him to win.

Not just them, you too. You and every other American will benefit far more from a Biden re-election. You will suffer if Trump is elected. Yes I know what’s good for you and everyone.

Do you want a medal? A Trump Presidency will be a disaster, even worse than before, a threat to our democracy and a calamity for our future. But hey good for you for proving me wrong.

The answer depresses me so I try not to think about it. Either they’re not paying attention or they’re simply willing to let it go because they’re more concerned about inflation. Either way it’s not cheering news for me.

I like Squistion. That would be very disappointing if it’s true.

This time around he’s got evidence to back him up. That’s the only thing that makes him credible.

Sure they did. Challenge you to name one person besides Avenatti himself who wanted Avenatti to be President.

Can we all agree that Michael Cohen is pretty much the epitome of the sleazy lawyer that everybody detests?

So good. Keith Emerson playing 4 keyboards at once. Carl Palmer with a drum solo for the ages. We may never see their like again. ETA but I don’t love your lyric changes.
