The Real timschochet

Yes but should we prosecute people for being bad parents? Maybe we should. But I’m not sure, it doesn’t seem like an easy question to me.

Good question. Biden takes his case to the American people. This mess might have to wait until he gets re-elected and the House is Democrat again. That’s only 10 months away. Then we’ll fix everything. Hopefully Ukraine can hold on that long. When Republicans decide to stop being children again they can come back to the grownup’s table and offer real input.

Biden wants to fix the crisis at the border, Republicans don’t. Pretty simple message that will resonate with the American people. The Trumpheads won’t buy it but when have they ever listened to reason anyhow? Guys like @Strike here hate it because it’s not cruel enough for him. Oh well.

Of the 10-15 awful hateful ridiculous unworkable and terrible things that you want to have happen with regard to the border, this bill would only accomplish about 3-4 of them. The other 10 or so aren’t done so that’s probably why you don’t like it.

There’s nothing to settle.

It will be hilarious reading the posts here by the MAGA fanatics if the Supreme Court doesn’t take this. “They’re all part of the Deep Swamp Uniparty!”

He has to appeal on Tuesday. And then the Supreme Court has to decide by Tuesday whether or not to accept the case- no longer. There’s a lot of thought that they won’t. So this could go very quickly. Even if the SC takes up the case their decision would be June at the latest which means a trial by September.

I would have said 50/50 before this morning. Now I think it’s gone up to about 80/20. I’m expecting a trial in the next 2-3 months- and a conviction.

Yeah I’m not really into Lola. Gotta be a situation where I can’t tell.

Cracks me up that guys like you keep going on about that. So funny. What I wrote is that if I was single I would have sex with an attractive transgender female so long as physically I couldn’t tell the difference. And dudes like you, who apparently are obsessed with other folks’ sexual choices, just completely freaked out. Nobody cares if you’re secretly gay.

I didn’t know Eli played on those Giants defensive lines. Tougher dude than I realized.

Yeah both @Horseman and @Strike seem to have some sort of Brokeback thing going on for me. I don’t roll in that direction but I need to let them off easy.

The problem with my overlords is that sometimes they contradict each other, so it’s confusing. If only I could get George Soros and Taylor Swift on the phone at the same time, I could get some clear answers. But it never happens.

See this is proof of your obsession. I posted about the Grammys last night because THEY WERE ON. I was watching with my kids and I love music. Obviously you read the thread. Or else you’re following me around. I don’t really care but either way it’s strange on your part to try to rip me for it. You certainly spend a lot of time on these forums yourself.

But according to Raider and Strike they’re not conservative. Neither is Voltaire apparently.

OK but other than that?

Is this really how you feel? Sob.

My feelings are hurt. Why? I offer my opinion. I know many of you disagree. But I don’t try to insult anyone personally. Why am I insufferable?

Maybe? But it’s also true.

We don’t think that; we know it.

I understand sanctuary cities and support them. Sanctuary cities have nothing to do with protecting violent felons.

It normally does result in more crime. In the case of these folks it doesn’t because they work so many hours and are terrified of deportation. But let’s be clear: the mass immigration we had in the early 20th century which produced my forefathers (and perhaps yours as well) resulted in intense poverty and crime in the large cities of this country. But the overall result was positive; it always is. So even if new immigration, legal or otherwise, resulted in greater crime, I would still be for it.

1. I don’t group conservatives and MAGA people together. There are many conservative ideas I like and support. I like and support very few MAGA ideas. I have both conservatives and MAGA people among my closest friends and family. I love them and they are good people. I don’t agree with many of their ideas, especially the MAGA folks. But unless one is a radical extremist of some sort (very few Americans are) bad ideas doesn’t make one a bad person, and vice versa for good ideas. 2. Do you know why I hire day laborers, many of whom are probably undocumented (I don’t ask)? Because they’re reliable. I know where to find them, they quote a price, I pay it, they get the job done. I feel terrible about homeless people and I’ve donated plenty of money to shelters. I want to help them anyway I can. But as workers they’re not reliable. I would never personally give a homeless person cash because most of the time they will use it on drugs or alcohol. That’s a sad truth. They need help, need to clean up, then maybe they can work. But I’m not hiring them off the street. 3. Finally, when I hire undocumented people I am not hiring felons. Coming here without legal papers is not a felony; it’s a misdemeanor.

I couldn’t get past the Phyllis Diller hairdo.

I would eagerly support a bill to pay for something like this. How about you?
