The Real timschochet

Military secrets? He told China that our nuclear arsenal was secure. Is that a secret?

This is incorrect. Most of America will blame the Republicans. That is always the case in these shutdowns and even more so this time when there are no clear demands being made.

Stop Ukraine funding seems to be one of the central pieces. Reinstating Trump’s policies on the border is another. Shutting down the Justice Department’s prosecutions of Trump is a third (though I’m not sure how this one is even possible.) And of course, severe cuts to spending. Even if you believe in these policy goals, the people for them don’t have the votes to achieve them. So they’re attempting to force the issue with this shutdown. And at least historically that never works, I can’t see it working this time.

One day away. I’m not quite clear on why they’re doing this. Is there a specific goal in mind? I also am not sure how, once this starts, it will end.

Yes she should have stepped down. But I prefer to remember her as terrific stateswoman, a moderate, centrist old school Democrat with great integrity. She will be sorely missed/

So what?

There is already a House Oversight Committee, led by the same guy (Comey) investigating this issue.

You’re wrong; this isn’t how it’s done. There has never been an impeachment inquiry without clear evidence beforehand. This would be the first time and it’s for show.

I have no problem with this whatsoever. I don’t believe that transgender women should be allowed to compete in girls’ sports due to possible physical advantages. But that doesn’t apply here. So I’m good with this.

Trump’s not there and none of these other dudes have a chance. But I’ll watch; of course I’ll watch. The Reagan Library is a beautiful building and a fascinating place to visit. If you’re ever in town highly recommended. Reagan, whom I am proud to say that I voted for the first time, was an outstanding man and one of our greatest Presidents:

I’m sad, but your choice is your own. Nobody forced you to vote for Trump. It’s something that you’ll have to live with.

I disagree on your first point though I admit that I may be naive: I get your second point and I believe you. It’s depressing. And it doesn’t piss me off, it just makes me sad.

For once I agree with you- mostly. I detest social media but there’s no way of getting rid of it. We’re past that.

Or you could simply force them to watch last nights debate.

What a terrible question. What idiot came up with that?

The attacks against Trump have been tepid and lame. Donald Duck? Ugh.

Not one word on climate change. Not one word on the Trump indictments. (And for conservatives not one word on Hunter Biden.) But hey, new curtains at the UN is an important issue!

Hey Tim and Nikki. Nobody gives a crap about South Carolina. This isn’t a race for Governor.

Christie just had his best moment in either debate. Won’t make a bit of difference.

After watching this train wreck I doubt it will be liberals that anyone will be laughing at.

The Republicans appear to be all in on fossil fuels. With a majority of Americans concerned about climate change is this really a long term winning position?

Pence believes that the death penalty will stop mass shootings. I doubt it.

This debate is a total disaster. I’m watching because I’m a politics addict. But I suspect most of America has turned this off if they even turned it on in the first place. I detest Trump but I can’t fault him for skipping this sh!tshow.

Gone off the rails. The moderators are the worst.

Am I the only one watching? Lol probably.
