The Real timschochet

There is always the possibility that Disney’s move to be more woke has hurt their business model. I hope that’s not the case. I want woke to win out, and I want it to be popular. I know I can’t force that into reality. I get weary, however, of many liberals who try to argue that woke is more popular than it is. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Public attitudes can change quickly (look at gay marriage). Whether woke is popular or not, I think it’s a good thing. I’ll continue to fight for it. That will have to be enough for me.

He’s not even the worst governor in the last 5 years. Surely the guy he’s facing is by any objective standard far far worse.

You know I admire your posts. Many other people around here attempt to cover their idiotic remarks by surrounding them with lots of unnecessary verbiage. But you don’t bother. Obviously you say to yourself “if I’m going to be a idiot anyhow, why hide it?” I say well done.

I don’t troll and I’m not interested in fish biting. What conservatives are doing here is outrageous. Just as they did with Fauci they are parsing Biden’s words and if they can find any flaw or discrepancy at all then they can dismiss the entire argument. They’ve been pulling this crap ever since Covid started and it sucks. Here’s the truth: conservatives don’t like the whole idea of public health experts. So when Covid started first they thought the whole thing was a hoax, then they disbelieved the doctors and attacked them, preferring to listen to quacks, then they tried to blame Fauci, then they tried to blame Biden. They’ve been wrong the entire time, and it would be laughable except many many lives have been lost due to their ignorance. History will judge them harshly.

I can’t find anywhere there what this is about. There is no election fraud that has changed the results of the 2020 election.

So what? So anyone who is opposed to Trump is discredited in your eyes no matter how strong the particular argument being made might be? You’re the definition of close-minded.

I’m open to the compromise. But I strongly oppose some of the other stuff that @TheNewGirlseems to want to happen.

Close enough.

Old and tired. Also you keep assuming that virtue signaling is some kind of slur. I guess it is for conservatives. But you can accuse me of that all day long. Thanks for the praise,

Except that I never called anyone racist. I said the act is racist and it is. That doesn’t make the person who performs it a racist. I doubt this kid had any idea of the history. (He should be taught it in schools, but conservatives are opposed to teaching accurate history; that’s a different issue.) For someone who has read me as long as you claim, you should know that I rarely call people racist or bigoted. I call acts racist or bigoted often but I’m pretty forgiving of people, including you. I don’t think you’re a racist, and I can’t recall you making any racist statements. But you consistently defend acts of racism and you should apologize for that.

What he should have said was “if you have these vaccinations the odds are either you won’t get it Covid, or if you do you will survive it and it won’t be nearly as bad as it might have been for you, and many of those around you that might have died from Covid due to other factors will have a better chance not to die, so many lives will be saved,” That would have been more accurate. But what he said was close enough.

Wrong again. I don’t understand why you guys want Putin to win. If Russia wins this war it will cost us so much more than we’re paying now.

He was 100% right. And- to answer the question raised in the OP: Fock no. It’s always been a damn lie. Fauci is one of the great heroes of this generation of Americans.

Slightly better than the outhouse analogy but still lacking in thought or wit. You’ll get there.

This guy has it right: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2023/11/29/hunter-biden-testify-james-comer-impeachment/71730568007/ It’s so hilarious that Jon thinks I’m gullible when he is willing to buy Comer’s argument hook line and sinker. Wake up Jon, you’ve been lied to. There is no impeachable offense here. All these guys want to do is embarrass Joe Biden. They don’t want his son to testify in public because there’s nothing there. They’ve been lying about it all along and a deposition in private allows them to lie about it more. A public deposition will reveal, again, to the public what a joke this has all been.

Sure they are. OK.

And you should apologize for 99% of your political posts.

Why should I? I’m right about this. You should apologize for defending racism- not just in this obvious case, but for years.

Sorry Jon nobody is going to buy the argument that he has to be deposed first behind closed doors. It won’t fly. He has demanded to testify publicly and if the Republicans refuse it looks terrible.

Umm no. Republicans haven’t agreed to any public testimony. They claim they will agree to it “at a future date.” They don’t want him to testify publicly. Apparently neither do you. It’s pretty amazing- for months now you guys have demanded transparency in this Hunter Biden story. You KNOW there’s corruption, that Joe Biden committed an impeachable offense. And now Hunter is willing to testify publicly and the answer is no it has to be behind closed doors?? Good luck trying to sell that to anyone other than the true believers.

So why not let him testify? What are they afraid of?

If Trump had wanted to testify publicly before the Jan 6 committee they would have welcomed him immediately- imagine the ratings! Of course Trump would never have done so. He’s terrified to testify under oath anywhere and rightly so.

If Hunter is allowed to testify publicly about his personal issues with drugs, it’s only going to make the public sympathetic to Joe Biden, because millions of Americans have family members with similar issues. Now if they can prove corruption by Joe that’s a different story. But so far they don’t have the evidence.

On the fence? It should be clear even to you that the only reason Comer won’t agree to this is that it prevents them from lying about his testimony.

We’re reaching a point rather similar to the Korean War- with winter coming nobody can advance. Stalemate. It’s time for a negotiated settlement.
