The Real timschochet

Me or Biden? Never mind I’m sure you mean both of us.

He’s hitting all the right notes. But he’s not a great speaker. Obama, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan were all great speakers.

You can’t love your country only when you win. Thats going to be remembered.

Wow he’s really going after him.

Going right after Trump. Love how Johnson nods and tries to look serious.

So tacky. No class at all.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is so classless. And she’s not supposed to be wearing that hat.

About 27 million people are watching this. Not a huge crowd- it ain’t the Super Bowl. But enough to have an effect on the election, maybe.

Wonder who the cabinet member is staying in the White House? The Kiefer Sutherland figure. ETA- the Secretary of Education. Just like Battlestar Galactica!

Tommy Tuberville has to be the dumbest Senator ever. (There are dumber House members both Republican and Democrat but usually Senators are smarter.) Tuberville wasn’t that great a football coach either though he did have some pretty talented teams.

That gavel is cheesy looking, You would think they can get a better gavel.

Love the women in white for reproductive rights. That is so smart.

Yeah no worries. He will be unless he has a heart attack. (Actually if he were to quit the race for any reason after September I think he’s on the ballot anyhow- but in that event I will concede the bet.)

I remember about 20 years ago the big deal among evangelicals was that JK Rowling was satanic. Nowadays they love her. Just goes to show- if you’re worried about being disliked by the Bible Belt, just attack the gays and all will be forgiven!

I missed the Beyoncé is satanic part. Why? Is it the country song?

The public will always reward brevity.

4-1 odds that Biden is the Democratic nominee for President. Any amount. @Engorgeous George bet $500. @Cdub100 bet $25 but doesn’t trust me and insisted on somebody holding the money. Somebody else bet me too I can’t remember who. I’ve also offered even odds on Biden winning. @Horseman says I’m a sucker for offering 4-1 odds but he refuses to wager.

Dude… Did you take me up on my 4-1 wager? I can’t remember.

Can’t speak for others but I will not be miserable when the orange man is gone. If only he really was. (Gone from politics and in prison where he belongs. Not saying I want him dead or anything.)

They’re speculating on MSNBC if the crazy House members are going to shout stuff and try to interrupt Biden. Mike Johnson warned them not to, but will they listen to him? They’d better make sure Lauren Boebert doesn’t bring a boyfriend….

Biden looks good in those sunglasses. He looks like Tom Cruise!

My daughter sent this to me: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLRmeErW/ it’s hilarious but sadly every word is true.

The right rejects the Covid vaccine, you reject the science behind climate change, most of you think that Trump won the last election and that Obama was born in Kenya. Yet liberals are the ones who judge by their feelings?? OK. Now more than ever, the Democrats are the rational ones. We’re the ones that believe in reason and common sense. We don’t live in Fantasyland.

I simply, completely, reject your analysis. And I think it’s an insult to the thousands of hard working people who chose journalism as a career and believe it is their duty to report the news objectively.

So Biden is announcing tonight that he is creating an artificial port to supply humanitarian aid to Gaza. Don’t get me wrong; this is a good thing. I very much want to help the people of Gaza. But the reason we have to create this artificial port is because Israel is blocking aid to Gaza though more conventional means. And the reason that Israel is able to block that aid is because we are supplying them with money and weapons to do so. What a mess this is. What is our endgame here? What is Israel’s endgame? The destruction of Hamas is what they say but it appears to be an intangible goal- I don’t think they can truly destroy Hamas any more than we could the Taliban. So what now?
