The Real timschochet

Nope, I did make an appointment. What’s changed is how long it takes with an appointment.

4 hours at my local DMV a few weeks ago, basically lost the entire day. Now I heard this morning that they’re not even enforcing it; if you don’t have it they just ask a few more questions and you’re good. Lol

Ah. Gotcha. Of course taxes raise prices. Of course any liberal who denies that is a hypocrite. All tariffs are are sakes taxes on foreign goods (effectively)

Why do you find this funny? What he wrote is economics 101

So the good news this morning is that Bessant is flying to Switzerland to meet with Chinese officials. Now China has said that there will be no serious negotiation until America unilaterally lowers our new tariffs: in other words, surrender. Bessent this morning: “I would caution against any deals emerging from these talks right away; first we need to de-escalate” “De-escalate” sure sounds like Trump is willing to unilaterally lower the tariffs, exactly what China is demanding. Which makes one wonder what was the point of this entire, incredibly stupid exercise? Nonetheless let’s hope it happens.

https://nypost.com/2025/03/18/us-news/fed-judge-blocks-trump-admin-from-banning-trans-people-from-military-service/ Look I started a tranny thread! The judge says that transgender adults have a constitutional right to be in the military. I agree. But if you don’t, please make a case as to why it’s OK to ban transgender adults from serving.

I won’t. These people deserve to be treated like everyone else. I heard the same bullsh!t when gays weren’t allowed in the military. That’s all it is, bullsh!t. Eventually your kind will be defeated.

No and I don’t really care unless you can explain why a person taking his or her own medicine in private interferes with serving in the military.

What different rules? Whatever medicine they take is their own business.

You’re a very strange dude and your obsession with me is pretty damn scary.

I mean this issue (medication) doesn’t need to be complicated. Just make it so a transgender is responsible for his or her own medication. If they don’t take it and that interferes with their duties THEN you can discharge them. But not before it’s shown that the individual can’t perform his or her duties. Pretty simple.

So we are to exclude everyone from the military who needs medication on a regular basis?

The other justifications offered are insignificant. Mental illness IS significant if it were true. But it isn’t.

Once a transgender person has successfully transitioned they are cured of gender dysphoria. A person suffers from gender dysphoria BEFORE the transition. That’s why what I wrote is correct: a transgender adult does not have gender dysphoria.

Transgender adults do not suffer from gender dysphoria.

It won’t. India has to do this to save face but I’m betting they made clear to Pakistan that there will be no further escalation.

We need Lord John Marbury.

The executive order is not well stated, it is not eloquent. The sole defense that most of you have offered is the statement that transgenderism is a mental illness. This is not true. There is actually scientific evidence that it is not true. I offer it here: https://www.gob.mx/salud/prensa/a-study-made-in-mexico-proves-that-the-transgender-is-a-condition-not-a-mental-disease That’s one study but its findings are supported by the vast majority of scientists, psychiatrists, and doctors all over the world. If you want to reject the science and believe otherwise, you’re not only wrong in this instance, but you’re likely a bigot. HTH

All of this discussion about whether or not he is, was, or should have been a gang member, and whether or not this should affect his deportation, can and should be resolved with facts presented in a court of law. But that entails him returning to the United States. We cannot guarantee that El Salvador will release him back to U.S. custody, but based on the Supreme Court decision the Trump Administration is legally obligated to formally and publicly request his return. This they have not done, and are publicly refusing to do, which places the Trump Administration in contempt. At the moment this is the only pressing issue in this matter before us: ultimately will the Trump Administration abide by the decision of the SC and formerly request the return of Abrego Garcia? And if they don’t what happens next?

Andersonville, Manzanar, Wounded Knee…there are all kinds of spots in our history we can use if spreading terror is the desired goal…how about the Charleston Slave Markets?

Bad decision by the SC to let this stand even for now. Nobody has made a good argument as to why a transgender adult can not serve honorably in the U.S. military. This is based, IMO, on fear and bigotry.

She was saying the use of force is fine in self defense. Do you disagree?

Oh so you were lying. Got it.

She’s at least 4 times as smart as he is and about a thousand times more informed. But other than that sure.

Trump just admitted there are no negotiations with China going on. No deal with Canada- more talk about a bailout for farmers. There are 25 deals on the table that he COULD sign but he doesn’t need to. Unstated are who the countries are. But @Strike thinks this is all part of a long term plan. I say it’s all part of long term ineptitude.
