The Real timschochet

Wow. That is really bizarre. I guess the Rape of Nanking strikes you as typical liberal behavior? lol.

No. It depends on the tone and nature of the criticism.

Good question. It’s because the specific criticism of George Soros, as a wealthy mysterious man who behind the scenes pulls strings and influence events, plays into several long held anti-Semitic tropes. Leftist attacks against the late Sheldon Adelson were also anti-Semitic IMO.

The reasons that Epps received a lighter sentence are detailed here: https://apnews.com/article/ray-epps-conspiracy-theory-capitol-riot-fbbfca2fc1c13c439fca7d460237934c Basically it’s because he tried to stop the violence on the day of, and since then has expressed remorse. It has zero to do with any dumb conspiracy. The guy doesn’t work for the FBI.

My conversation with @supermike80 is on a different track. And he’s not an anti-Semite.

In the case of a public health crisis this is not a defensible position.

I agree. We need to regulate everyone who comes in if we can. And that’s why the decision by California to give undocumented immigrants free access to health care is a good one.

It was a pretty coherent, excellent speech IMO. I don’t think your description quite does it justice. Was there a specific point he made that you take issue with?

I don’t agree with your overall assessment of Joe Biden’s mental acuity. Did you watch his speech from a few days ago? It was very sharp. He’s not being puppeted. He’s still the guy in charge, and very bright and very alert.

The problem with your argument is that in the case of a public health crisis, your decisions may put others at risk.

I don’t believe that the vast majority of Trump supporters are racist. If I ever wrote that, in anger, then I apologize. I don’t believe Republicans are bad people either.

Yes but not me. And you know this because I have paid you in the past. If you don’t want to make the bet because you’re afraid you might be wrong, fine. But don’t offer whiny excuses like you think I might not pay you.

Hopefully he wins his lawsuits against Fox and Tucker Carlson. Guys an idiot but the right wing media ruined whatever’s left of his life with their bogus conspiracy theories (which I see you have sucked right up like the bootlicker you are.)

A lot of the criticism against Joe Biden in this forum is, IMO, unwarranted and over the top. But not this issue. It’s inexplicable. How could he not know his Secretary of Defense was in the hospital? How could he not know, apparently until today, that it was prostrate cancer? it’s a total fockup and Biden’s critics are having a field day. And for once it’s well-deserved.

I honestly have no idea. I know very little about Hasidic Jews beyond a couple of novels that I have read (The Chosen and The Promise, both by Chaim Potok. Actually these are two of the finest novels I have ever read. But they don’t mention secret tunnels.)

Forget about Covid for the moment, and look at the even bigger picture: there’s going to be another pandemic someday, even worse. Whenever that happens we need to listen to the public health experts and follow their guidance. If we begin by thinking that they’re liars and part of a conspiracy, we’re truly focked.

Maiden is a band I never really loved but their cover art is top notch.

Not even close. Khan was just a brilliant ruthless general. Nothing like Stalin or Hitler. Pol Pot and Mao come closer.

Stalin is the only man in history that might be worse than Hitler.

Yeah but I never have and you know it.

What? You wrote “Jack’s cases aren’t going nowhere”. Grammatically inept but we all get your meaning. Apparently you don’t have the courage of your convictions.

Since so many of you are making the same argument I will respond to all of you at once: we need an organized, comprehensive approach to this issue. I am definitely not in favor of the chaotic situation as it now stands. But I also completely reject the draconic solutions being proposed by conservatives. I think most of you guys are being reactionary and not truly considering the long term consequences of your ideas. And nobody, not conservatives or liberals, is spending any time at all trying to examine the essential question here: why are so many people coming? What economic and climate situations are creating such instability in other parts of the world that millions of people risk their lives to get to this country? Until we are willing to address that problem, nothing we do is ever going to alleviate the current situation.

Trump up to his old Birther ways again- this time the target is Nikki Haley: https://news.yahoo.com/trump-reposts-conspiracy-theory-questioning-200300783.html And yet there are people here who continue to insist that Donald Trump isn’t a bigot.

I will wager you $1000 right now that Jack’s Jan 6 case against Donald Trump will be tried prior to this years election and Trump will be found guilty and convicted of at least one felony. Deal?
