The Real timschochet

It’s not the mistake, it’s the lie.

But Milley, who was one of the best in that position that this country has ever had, never lied to the American people. Unlike Hegseth he is a man of honor.

Not from me and hopefully not from the American public. I gave him a pass (you can go back and read my first post on the subject) but that was before he publicly lied, attacked the media, attacked Goldberg.

No, I read what she said, in context.

Right now we would be way better off and much safer from harm if either of these two ladies you call idiots were in power- compared to the clowns who are in there at the moment. Are you calling for Hegseth to resign this morning?

Lololol

This is a false narrative: the “Hot Wheels” thing had nothing to do with Abbot’s disability. It was about his moving refugees to other states. That was clear in the context of her comments. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/rep-jasmine-crockett-defends-governor-hot-wheels-comments/story?id=120167133

Even Trump isn’t stupid enough to commute Chauvin. What a terrible injustice that would be.

Nope it did not.

I thought rightly. It was disgusting. Trump is a bad person for that alone. I think now you’re referring to Crockett calling Governor Abbott “Hot Wheels”. But that has nothing to do with his disability; it’s about Abbott’s sending refugees to other states as a publicity stunt, which cost Texas millions of dollars and was just stupid and mean-spirited.

She was speaking metaphorically. She means that Democrats have to beat a guy like Cruz by being tough with him. It’s no different from a few years back when Sarah Palin posted a picture of Gabby Giffords on a gun target. After Giffords was shot a lot of people ripped Palin. I defended her because I understood that she wasn’t calling for violence. Neither is Crocket. I think Jasmine Crockett is terrific, and she has never called for violence.

Not me personally. Once Dems are back in power we’ll just order ICE to do it. Bye!

I just met Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson. In studio this weekend, Really nice guys.

GA-20 “One Night Man”

You’re assuming @Hardcore troubadour is a citizen. I have no idea if he is. I say he isn’t. I already know his views are un-American so let’s deport him. We don’t need due process to do so. Arrest him and the rest of the MAGA crowd and send them to El Salvador. Whats to stop us?

That nickname is pretty kind compared to what that fool deserves. Jasmine is about 1000 times smarter than Marjorie but other than that I can see the comparison. Well not really.

I so hope they try to prosecute her. Bring it on.

Apparently you’re not paying attention. This story is minor compared to the uproar over Doge. Have you watched any of these huge crowds lately? And this is even before the tariffs take effect. The public is pissed off. You’re not seeing it for whatever reason. But you will come election time. It’s gonna be ugly for anyone supporting Trump.

What @Fnord said. You parrot whatever the Trump folks say and then you accuse me of this. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic.

Wait- is it a coincidence that this story only occurred a few weeks ago? https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/south-carolina-escaped-monkeys-what-we-know/

Listening to you is like reading a Harry Turtledove novel, except that he’s a pretty good writer and all of HIS alternative history is fun and speculative. YOUR alternative history is humorous, deluded, sad, absurd, ugly, and just total bullsh!t again and again.

MSNBC is reporting that the language that both Hegseth and Leavitt used “there were no military war plans” is very precise and specific- it’s a Clintonesque denial if you will- they never said there was nothing classified revealed. This is lawyerly speak so they can cover their tracks later on. Lololol As I wrote the initial story was uninteresting to me but the denials are making it interesting…

OK. I’m not really interested in having this discussion. I could have it at some point with reasonable people such as yourself, but this forum has too many bigots in it who believe that people with black skin have inherently lower intelligence. I know you’re not one of them and that’s enough. Yes black Americans do perform lower on IQ tests. We can disagree on the reasons why. It’s racist to believe that it’s inherent. Let’s leave it at that.

I’m not even sure I would call them willfully ignorant. I think many of them made a Faustian bargain: they wanted a better economy and the border under control, and were willing to take the rest of it (or at least didn’t take it seriously.)

We’ll find out.
