The Real timschochet

It didn’t take long for somebody to bring up Biden. Biden’s gone. Trump is President. And there appears to be something wrong with him.

Well that’s the accusation, Trump was found guilty in a court of law. She hasn’t even been charged. So your statement is false.

Today’s hero: Lisa Cook, Federal Reserve: https://www.axios.com/2025/08/26/trump-fires-federal-reserve-lisa-cook Easy choice this morning. She responds to Trump’s illegal firing by refusing to leave. She is helping to protect the integrity of our federal reserve, so vital to us as a nation. Three cheers.

Let’s hope this is true because if it is someday Trump will be in prison where he belongs.

The attempted removal of Lisa Cook is the biggest news tonight, perhaps the biggest news in a few months (since he imposed the tariffs.) This is not a distraction, it’s the story that all the distractions are designed to keep us from thinking about. If the Fed is perceived as Trump controlled rather than an independent body there will be severe economic consequences.

Maybe she will. Maybe she deserves to. I have no idea. But the main issue haven’t changed here. In December of 2020, President Trump committed a serious crime in Georgia, attempting to interfere with the national election. He deserves to be prosecuted for that crime, and punished (I would think with jail time.) This will probably have to wait until Trump is out of office and involve a new prosecutor, but it really does need to happen.

I argued then that inflation would eventually go down, because it was mainly caused by the Covid 19 crisis. I think I was right about that. This time around the inflation is caused by the tariffs, and completely unnecessary.

The Supreme Court gets to decide.

So true. Everytime I go to the grocery store it burns.

I have never encountered a person, either a celebrity or a politician or somebody I know personally, who is better at changing the subject than Donald Trump. Not even my wife.

Not really since his economic ideas are just terrible.

It depends on the issue.

He hasn’t done anything heroic. I don’t even think he’s a good guy particularly. I just want him to get equal protection under the law. His lawyer maybe. I’ll consider that.

No. My bad. He spent so much time in the 80s in Huntington Beach that I thought he was from there. Got that wrong. I met him in an old time folky coffee shop on Main Street. I can’t even remember the name. They had an open mic night and I played guitar and sang. I wasn’t very good but he applauded and shook my hand after. True story.

They do. That is what is unlawful about so many of these mass deportations. Every single person the government attempts to deport should absolutely get their day in court, with proper representation, no matter how long it takes.

As far as my honesty- this will be settled in court. Abrego Garcia appears to have good attorneys, so if I’m right and this latest detainment is illegal he will be quickly released to await his trial. If I’m wrong and you guys are right he will be quickly deported. Let’s see what happens here.

I like Henry. From my hometown. Met him once, back in the day.

Because that’s what the Supreme Court said the first time the government deported him.

Even with that final order the Supreme Court says he still needs due process before he can be deported. And his attorneys are trying to reverse that order because they claim it’s based on false information like the accusations the government has made and never proven, and this all needs to be adjudicated before any deportation. So why are YOU lying?

As far as detaining Abrego Garcia and threatening to deport him: the government claims he is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial abuser, child predator. My position is the same as before: they need to prove these things in a court of law. So far they haven’t even tried. And detaining him and deporting him without this is a lack of due process and unconstitutional.

Once again talk about self-own. I can’t even count the number of times you’ve behaved in EXACTLY the way you’re describing.

Today’s hero: Dani Parent, West Virginia: https://www.theintermountain.com/news/local-news/2025/08/aclu-wv-citizens-action-group-file-lawsuit-to-halt-national-guard-deployment-to-washington-d-c/ She is the executive director of the West Virginia ACLU, which has fired a lawsuit attempting to prevent that state from participating in Trump’s unlawful request for national guard troops sent to Washington DC.

I don’t think he can do that on his own.

No I didn’t.
