The Real timschochet

I’ve never voted for a socialist in my life. Did you vote for Trump? Why do YOU vote for a socialist? (Anyone who supports high tariffs on almost all of our trading partners is, in effect, a socialist. Trump is a socialist in many other ways as well.)

Bullying me? Nah. They’re free to express themselves, rude as they were. But you can’t bully anybody on an Internet forum. I’m a big boy, I can handle insults.

You’re trying too hard again. Your shtick plays better when you dial it back just a little.

Liberals don’t hate capitalism. We love it. Taylor is awesome. I went and saw her movie last night with my family. So good!

This is your fantasy view of yourself and your dark fantasy view of the other side. It’s how you want to see yourself, and it’s admirable to a certain degree. It demonstrates why you are not a racist and why I would never call you a racist. Unfortunately it’s a completely false narrative. The reality is that racism against dark people continues to be prevalent in our society and because of your viewpoint that it doesn’t you oppose all efforts to alleviate it. Worse, the bigots in this country know this which is why they flock to your side, even though you’re not one of them. Worse, you tolerate their presence. Worst of all, you’re about to nominate one of them to be your candidate for President for the third time in a row. These are contradictions conservatives will have to solve before they can ever claim to be free of the charge I made in my last post to you.

Any informed person who supports Hamas is not, by definition, a liberal. Many of those who support Hamas may be extreme leftists but a leftist is not, by definition, a liberal.

Sure. Produce a liberal who is pro-Hamas and I will explain.

It won’t be a factor. IF foreign policy is an issue (and that’s usually a big if) it will be Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and our overall commitments. Afghanistan, whether you blame Biden or not, is history.

We don’t notice the darker pigmentation part. We don’t group people that way. That’s your deal not ours. People who do bad stuff need to be stopped and punished. People who don’t shouldn’t be grouped with those that do. Which is what you’re doing here.

It won’t be an issue.

I don’t think I’m a man of vision. Just enjoy staying my opinion like most people here.

For the record I live a pretty awesome life.

You’re not the guy who said yesterday you sympathized with CDub’s worldview? Perhaps I have you confused with somebody else? If so I apologize.

I don’t believe the outrage is fake. Based on the responses I received I obviously hit a nerve. But that nerve has very little to do with Bobby Knight. It has to do with Donald Trump. I think many of the folks here know deep down what a scumbag Trump is, and what he represents, and they support him anyhow. Rather than accept their complicity they lash out.

Lots of talk lately about Trump losing his mental acuity. Personally that doesn’t concern me. It’s what he says when he’s alert that should bother people.

No. I remain critical of several things Bobby Knight did while alive and I consider his public support of Donald Trump, late in life, to be a shameful and dishonorable act. So I brought it up, because it’s worth noting. Id do it again. I’m sorry that he died for his family. He was a tremendous basketball coach. And of course you’re free to call me whatever you’d like.

So in order to get aid sent to Israel, Mike Johnson is going to have to remove this IRS nonsense from the bill. Is that going to happen? If not then nothing will get done.

Children and teenagers who are sexually abused are victims. Children and teenagers who undergo gender therapy and treatment are not victims. In most cases they are liberating themselves. And it’s really nobody’s business except for them, their families, and their doctors. It’s certainly not anybody’s business posting in here. Leave them alone and if you disapprove or are disgusted, keep it to yourself.

Not close to that number. Almost none of the threads I started were about me. And aren’t you the guy who wrote yesterday that you sympathized with anti-Semitic ravings?

Lol the dude thinks so much of himself. And he’s effing nuts at the same time. So sad.

Tliab is continuing to lie about Israel bombing the hospital. She says that the US conspired with Israel to falsify information. Tliab is a leftist but this is straight out of the Trump playbook. You simply lie and lie some more and call whoever tells the truth liars. And then you attack the media. Does anybody see besides me that this is the exact same formula? This is why I am so opposed to those who spend all their time attacking the mainstream media. For all of its faults (and there are many) the MSM remains the best source of truth. Without it we’re doomed. Tliab should have been censured in the House. It was voted down. In yet another move worthy of Trump she threatened that anyone who censured her would be guilty of Islamophobia. Apparently this was enough to scare off a bunch of Democrats and even 23 Republicans. Cowards all.

Could be true. But I like myself!

Amazing. There are folks here who have denied the Holocaust and worse. There are people here who spread racism and homophobia on a daily basis. And yet I’m the one who receives your ire. Because I dared criticize Bobby Knight for using his fame to help Trump get elected. Oh the horror of it. I get the hostility against me is real. I really don’t care but it makes those who offer it look foolish. And in any case I’m not hostile against anyone:

I actually have 2 daughters of college age. And of course I see things woke. And sometimes it gets absurd. At my daughters college, Chapman University in Orange, there was a move last year to replace a bust of Ronald Reagan (said to be racist and homophobic) with Angela Davis. Thankfully the administration withstood the pressure. But in general I don’t have a problem with woke. I approve of pro-gay, pro-tranny, pro-black history, pro-women’s rights, etc. Are you an MIT grad? Very impressive.

Not in any thread. I don’t even know you. Why such hostility?
