The Real timschochet

So because I wrote his first name wrong, that’s your response. No rebuttal to the main point which is that once again your argument was completely flawed. This is why nobody takes you seriously.

I expect them mostly to be silent about it now. This incident will be quickly forgotten.

Once Trump is awarded the money he can put out a special coin to commemorate the occasion.

Democrats are, to my surprise, winning this battle. On November 1st the new ACA premiums will lock into place. At that point Republicans may want to surrender. If they don’t it’s only going to get worse for them.

He was MAGA: https://meidasnews.com/news/atlanta-airport-suspect-was-longtime-trump-supporter-who-defended-confederate-flag Because of course he was.

Hey I appreciate the concern. I think I’ll be fine though.

I never know when to split. I always get it wrong. Probably why I’m a lousy gambler.

What the hell are you talking about? Of course they accosted people. That’s why they were arrested. You should stop focusing on my veracity (which is in this case and most cases, top notch and NEVER deliberately misleading or dishonest) and focus on your own ideas and people you support. If you defend Nazis OR Donald Trump OR ICE at the time in our history, you’re acting immorally and you will be ashamed of it later on.

There are plenty of articles about the Neo Nazis in HB , don’t take my word for it. Here’s one: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-09-17/la-me-charlie-kirk-huntington-beach-white-hate

I’ve always had the theory that violence comes equally from both sides but I’m really starting to wonder. After Kirk was shot the rally in my area at the Huntington Beach Pier attracted a bunch of Neo Nazi skinheads who blamed Jews and black people for Kirk’s murder. They started attacking people walking by. Meanwhile the same Huntington Beach Pier had the No Kings Rally Saturday which I attended- no violence, no hateful rhetoric, everyone was warm and friendly. Anecodtal but these various incidents tell me that my friend @EternalShinyAndChrome is 100% wrong: both the hateful rhetoric and violence these days seems to mostly come from one side- and it’s not the liberal side.

He’s my fantasy football MVP for sure.

Such an asinine response from you. MAGA heads here and elsewhere predicted widespread violence. You may have been one of them, I don’t know. (I don’t obsess with your posts the way you do with mine, mainly because they’re all so insipid.) it didn’t happen. Millions of people peacefully protested on Saturday against your guy and your dumb ideas. Particularly your dumb ideas about immigration. It matters. The people you like are going to lose big time in the next election. The stuff you want to happen is going to fail. And it should because you’ve been wrong all this time and your ideas are awful. Take the L, but more than that, maybe start to consider if you still want to support wretched people and wretched ideas. You won’t be able to defend this to your grandkids.

The term “no kings” refers to authoritarian behavior. While we protested nearly all of Trump’s terrible policies enacted this year, the leading one, IMO, is the gross behavior by ICE agents and other thugs of Trump’s regime behaving in an unpatriotic, anti-American way. That’s why there were so many military veterans protesting where I was. Because Trump has disgraced the flag. That’s what we were protesting against.

Thats really conservative. 6-8 million.

Look she was married to a bad man. He didn’t deserve to die, but that doesn’t change the fact that he had disgusting, bigoted views about blacks, women, gays, Muslims, Latinos, and trans people. He was also dishonest and power hungry. When you freely choose to marry someone like that, there’s something wrong with you IMO.

Do you mean the Kardashians? They already are.

The truth is far more complicated than this simplistic statement.

lol Trump takes your stuff all the time. Republicans and Democrats take your stuff. Are you seriously suggesting that anyone who votes to “take your stuff” is a Communist? Better go live on an island. I can’t speak for others but I don’t condemn people based on their friendships. Only on statements and actions. If you can find me a statement by Mamdami that praises the actions of radical Islamic terrorists I will change my mind about him.

Also one further contradiction: your claim that Mamdani is both a traditional Muslim (meaning a radical Islamist) and a Communist. Both cannot be true; they contradict each other. Actually neither is true but I wanted to point out the additional flaw in your argument.

1. I already responded to your first argument. 2. Any quick study of modern history (19th and 20th century) will tell you that (a) Democratic socialism and Communism are violently opposed to each other (b) Democratic socialism was decisive in defeating the Soviet Union and worldwide communism and (c) Democratic socialism, as a group of ideas, can exist and thrive in a western capitalist society and actually at times improve it.

Great post

I could easily make the same argument against traditional Christianity or Judaism. IMO society tends to thrive most the more it rejects traditional religious constraints- see the Enlightenment. That being said, nearly every Muslim community on Earth has charities that provide for the poor, the sick, the old. They are huge on community and I can personally state that their hospitality is incredible. Like so many other groups they are, in person, warm people and heavily family oriented. Have you been to a Muslim wedding? I have. It’s an amazing, beautiful affair. To your point- they have not been good at governing themselves. That’s an understatement. There are many complicated historical reasons for this; I think the main one is that there was no reformation of the Muslim religion, no Martin Luther. But there are other reasons as well, too many to get into in this post. Bottom line: I strongly reject the argument that individual Muslims cannot successfully integrate into western society. This is demonstrably false.
