The Real timschochet

In these hyperbolic times it would be a terrible, losing political message, as you well know. Nonetheless it’s true.

I don’t close my eyes to anything. I just think @TheNewGirl dramatically overstates California’s problems. Some of the issues she mentions are real, some are not. The problems we have that are real aren’t catastrophic. All of them are solvable. And the positives far outweigh the negatives. To make a larger observation: you MAGA types certainly have a dark view of America’s future. You guys need to breathe a little bit. Things aren’t that bad.

It’s a fairly accurate summary to what he wrote except that you missed his obsession with transgender issues.

Trump’s supporters have, by and large, accepted his race-baiting, which has been going on for years now (even before he ran the first time.) The best that can be said is that they’re indifferent to it. (Very shortly someone will bring up some stupid racial comment by Joe Biden in this thread. Thats inevitable. It’s very different because Joe’s idiocies on race are never deliberate, and most of them are decades old. But to the Trump faithful it’s no different.)

You may think so, and I may agree with you (mostly), but the vast majority of Republicans don’t. They love the guy. It’s time to stop pretending that they would prefer anyone else.

I will be extremely disappointed if Biden does not debate Trump. That would be a terrible outcome.

What can I say? The Republicans have become the party of Donald Trump.

Do you keep your kids away from Santa Claus too?

Haley will not win New Hampshire. I’m guessing she gets around 38%. Trump with 45-50%.

Do you ever get tired of the “only joking” excuse? As for the audience laughing, what usually happens is that they’re shocked that he said something and they laugh uncertainly. Like when he “joked” about Paul Pelosi getting beaten up.

They’re all sexy in their own way. Dim the lights a little I’m game.

Im not trolling. I really am a big fan.

This is a misrepresentation of what actually happened. I don’t want to derail the current discussion by going back into this but you’re completely off base here.

Not exactly. The reason she said that is because Trump said the other day that everyone had to go out and vote in order to “save this country” and if you got sick and died it was worth it. So Behar’s response, while way over the top, wasn’t without context. What Trump said was even more over the top.

So long as the ratings are high, sure. And while she’s a bit over the top, it’s not all nonsense.

Which is what exactly? If I owned MSNBC, and my goal was ONLY to make money, I would do everything in my power to try and help Trump win the election. You know why? Because Trump as President generates far more ratings than Biden does. Biden is dull. Thats why all is this “MSNBC wants to help Democrats win” is such nonsense.

Well of course. But, as it happens, they do inform.

Such an awesome person. I went and saw the drag show in Vegas, had an outstanding time. I’m glad RuPaul spoke out. What a queen.

I haven’t forgotten anything. The Mueller investigation was a huge news story and was reported heavily as a result. Was it reported fairly? I think so.

Of course. All newscasts have to decide what to report. Their main goal is ratings.

This isn’t true at all. On several occasions I was watching a press conference or speech by Biden that was showing on CNN and MSNBC and out of curiosity switched to Fox News- they didn’t show it. Which BTW is their prerogative. I’ve got no problem with it.

I’ve said that their news reporting is accurate. Same for Fox News.

She doesn’t like Donald Trump.

The Republican base wants an end to immigration (starting with illegal immigration but eventually all of it), an end to America’s international commitments, and high tariffs on international trade. These positions aren’t exactly “far right”, but they’re the reason Trump is loved and Haley is not.

Probably because you’re unaware of the historical context of that statement? Hillary wasn’t imitating a black person, she was quoting one, the exact words of a legendary elderly woman who was determined to maintain the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 however long it took to change policy. Hillary was celebrating that triumph and those words, and the crowd she spoke to understood that and appreciated it.
