The Real timschochet

I really don’t understand your assessment. Fauci is certainly egotistical and a bit of a self-promoter, and also not perfect (no scientist is). But what has he done except try to save lives? There’s no evidence of any corruption or awful behavior such as you’re implying here. I have never understood the demonization of this very fine man (IMO). Please explain what makes him a POS and worse than Trump in your view?

Fauci, then and now, is all about saving lives. Mask mandates did that: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9968482/#:~:text=State mask mandates reduced new,effects in Democratic-leaning counties. It’s probably not necessary now because the new strain of Covid appears to be less deadly. Hopefully that is the case. But if it becomes necessary to do this again, then we put our aged and those with health issues at serious risk when we don’t comply.

Marjorie is certainly a looker. And you’re right she is so smart.

Absolutely! She’s a serious, serious woman who deserves to be taken seriously. Make her the VP choice! I also agree that Candace Owens would be an excellent choice as well. Vivek…Trump has so many good choices this time around,

Does Hunter Biden deserve to be in jail for receiving bribes in exchange for promised access to his father the Vice President? Probably. Has this happened before with other elected leaders? Probably. Did it happen with members of Trump’s family? Probably. Is there any evidence whatsoever that Joe Biden actually provided the access his son promised? NO. And that’s the end of it until you can produce some.

Yes your post is willfully ignorant. Hunter promised access, Burisma paid to get it. There is no evidence that the access was ever received.

They’re not shot for being white. And to your earlier post- the media doesn’t direct these stories; they report them because people are interested in hearing them. And black people don’t need the media to know that they’re being victimized because of their race.

He’s a Detroit Lions fan.

Seriously? What an idiot you’d have to be to even make this challenge. There’s too many to count, really. A few of the more infamous ones: https://www.reneeater.com/on-monuments-blog/tag/list+of+unarmed+black+people+killed+by+police

No he isn’t. He’s just stating facts. Both Comer and McCarthy have said the same thing: there is no evidence. They have a lot of suspicions (unfounded and politically based, IMO) but nothing substantial.

This thread seems to be divided between people who want Disney to succeed because they have liberal views about gay and trans, and people who want Disney to fail for the exact same reasons. I think if you’re one of the latter folks you’re in a losing battle.

Here’s the reason: because in some cases black people who comply with all instructions are still shot to death. Does this happen often? No. Has it happened enough so that is in the collective memory of every black person in this country and makes them distrust police enough so that some of them have an instinct to simply try and get away? Absolutely. And unless you are a black person yourself you will never truly get what it’s like. I don’t get it either, but I at least try to empathize and don’t pretend that as a white guy I am treated exactly the same by police.

I see. So you’re just taking all efforts to slow climate change and calling it the Green New Deal. That’s really stupid. It’s also really dumb to attack all of these efforts in the first place, and to blame inflation on them. It’s not going to fly especially not now.

The Green New Deal has not been enacted. No idea what you’re talking about.

Fair enough.

Again, and I’ve asked this question several times but received no satisfactory answer: if worldwide inflation went up roughly the same percentage during this same time period (in some cases much worse) then how can American spending be the culprit?

Also @RLLD as of this time I don’t think there is any real evidence that Joe Biden was a corrupt Vice President; which is something you appear to be certain of. Now I am open to new facts, and there appears to be an impeachment investigation forthcoming, so if something comes out that I am currently unaware of, so be it. I have no love for Joe and he pulled some crap send his a$$ away. But right now I don’t see it.

Because most of what you think of as Biden’s “lies” are more like “I disagree with that assessment of events; it didn’t quite happen that way.” Whereas Trump’s lies are more on the level of “The sky isn’t blue; I don’t care what you think you see.”

Also “trying to impugn Trump” is a false representation of what CNN did in 2015 and 2016. What they did is have him on as a guest at every opportunity and play whatever he had to say WITHOUT CHALLENGE. In addition they would play his campaign rally speeches live and in full, something they have never done for any other Presidential candidate before or since. They did this because they saw that it brought high ratings- no other reason. Impugn him? They made him into a political celebrity.

Look at yourself. You’re trying to wrap yourself into a pretzel coming up with reasons for the media. The only time you came close is when you wrote “they were drunk on the ratings”. Are individual members of the mainstream media liberal? Sure, most of them probably. Are they rooting for liberals to win elections? Probably most of the time. Are their bosses liberal? Most of the time no, because the ownership is corporate and typically prefer traditional Republican policies. Is the news manipulated to push a pro-government or pro-liberal POV? NO. No matter how much you guys protest it doesn’t happen. What happens is that the news reports whatever is going to get the most eyeballs, period, full stop. There is no other motivation at play. And, the usual caveat- I am not talking about opinion shows so don’t waste time offering them as examples of bias.

How is it that I knew all about the Hunter Biden story? It was all over CNN and MSNBC. Plus Trump mentioned it at least a dozen times during the two debates. The truth is nothing was hidden or concealed. The Hunter laptop story was out there and nobody gave a damn.

You’re correct that he was a Pro-American patriot. (A redundant term for anyone who lives here but whatever.) Here is a revelation for you that you will no doubt deny but maybe someday you’ll (hopefully) wake up and realize: you can’t be both a Trump supporter and a pro-American patriot. The two are contradictory.

You have written this numerous times and offered CNN and the New York Times as examples. Yet two of the main reasons why Trump won in 2016 was because of the New York Times’ reporting about Hillary Clinton’s emails, and CNN’s relentless interviews and exposure of Donald Trump. Please explain what appears to be two rather large contradictions to your ridiculous amd false assertion.
