The Real timschochet

I know. Many of you guys approve of this.

I’m not going to get into the weeds on this stuff. Like all Presidents, some of Biden’s appointments have been great, others not so much. But he didn’t appoint them with personal loyalty as the main concern, like a mob boss would. Thats what Trump intends.

I don’t approve of that either, and I question your statement that it was legal. Many of his actions were challenged in court and has not been adjudicated before Biden ended them. But in any event you’re wrong. Trump has stated his intention to go way beyond his actions last time on this issue. Beyond building the wall without congressional approval or funding (hence the executive orders) he means to order a mass deportation of millions of people.

I don’t agree. Not about Biden in general and certainly not about Kamala Harris.

This is the correct interpretation. In terms of policy it is, however, troubling enough. He emphasized two issues: the border and drilling for oil. Putting aside the drilling issue, it suggests that he intends to put a stop to migration from our southern border in a way that would violate existing laws protecting civil liberties and perhaps violate the Constitution. No doubt some of his supporters, and some here, approve of such thinking. For me it’s enough all by itself to reject him as a candidate.

Yeah this stuff is starting to annoy me. I think Trump will be a terrible President if he wins, far worse than last time, because he won’t have the guardrails around him. Specifically he is determined to appoint people based on personal loyalty rather than competence. I believe Trump’s stated policies on the border, on trade, on Ukraine, on drilling, will all be awful for this country (and on Ukraine and our international commitments it may lead to decades of misery.) Add that to his apparent determination to punish his enemies and his indifference to the Constitution, and I see very troublesome times ahead. I don’t, however, see an end to our form of democratic republic. And here Maddow and many others go overboard. They’re overstating the case. The case, IMO, is bad enough.

There’s no way to defeat a conspiracy theorist like Jon has become, because anything that doesn’t happen.is part of the conspiracy.

God it would be so awesome if this was true. Sorry guys I believe this is a crackpot theory. It makes no sense whatsoever that the FBI would plan and orchestrate what happened on January 6. It sounds crazy just writing it out.

What info is being covered up? I can’t fathom that there is anything that would exonerate Trump or any of the insurrectionists/rioters/oops I mean hostages.

I don’t even know what the company line is.

Even if this was true, Biden’s policies are so much better that it’s not a close contest. That is, provided you are concerned about helping Ukraine, doing something about climate change, protecting women’s rights, and keeping trade and the economy grooving along.

Well sure I’d like to think I’m above bigotry and racism. And the need for white pride. Here’s hoping you are too.

That’s a very similar argument to one Ive made in defense of Biden over the last few years (minus the stupid part).

I can never root for the Ravens. Anyone but them.

Many Republicans in Congress want to cut off aid to Ukraine. This appears to be the attitude of the base of the Republican Party, and MAGA types in particular. I think it’s a reasonable concern that if we cut off aid it will lead to Russia conquering Ukraine. Do you agree?

You suppose wrong.

Some of you guys are just class acts all the way. But I get it: when your bigotry gets called out you lash out with personal attacks. What else do you have left? Personal introspection would be nice but that’s never gonna happen.

I expect, around here, to get this kind of pushback for my views about immigration, trans, climate, etc. I didn’t expect to get it about white pride. Goes to show I overestimated you guys once again. lol.

White pride is racism; they don’t get to have it. I’d that makes me arrogant for saying so, then so be it. I’m also right.

It seems to me that DeSantis would have a better chance in 2028 if Trump loses. If Trump wins then the GOP favorite in 2028 becomes whoever Trump chooses as his running mate. But either way I don’t think DeSantis has much of a chance anyhow. IMO his biggest problem as never Trump, it was DeSantis. He just doesn’t have the charisma to be President. As governor he’s at his highest level.

The GOP race is over. There is no chance for Haley. Whom is she kidding? It was always going to be Trump.

Nice guy. reality check: this is high school. It’s not the Olympics. None of these girls worked their asses off their entire life. It shouldn’t be allowed but damn you guys have gone way overboard.

It’s a crackpot theory. I’m sad for you that you believe it. Good luck to the Lions today.

Pulling your kid off a basketball team because there’s a trans playing on the other side is not quite the same as refusing to move from the “whites only” part of the bus. But you go, Rosa!

According to one law- the Enabling Act of 1933, passed directly after the Reichstag Fire. But I don’t see the relevance here. But since you brought it up, I should note that Weimar Germany was the first modern society ever to welcome transgenders and offer them recognition, equality and dignity. Naturally the Nazis did away with all that and murdered them along with the Jews.
