So what I learned is that someone has TDS by criticizing Trump for the things he's actually doing wrong?
I mean, you yourself acknowledge that I'm crediting him where I think he's getting it right.
Perhaps I'm just not into slavish cult-like praise of a politician, even the ones I actually like.
Yes, I totally agree that it's a major problem when politicians are looking to prosecute crimes for political reasons.
And before you screech "but Trump," I think we've extensively discussed where I think Trump was the victim of a political prosecution (the NY case), where I think he was guilty (the documents case), and where there's a lot of room for debate on the best approach (DC/GA).
Only a committed leftist loves lawless behavior. Harassing law enforcement is smart. What could go wrong??
Such decorum! And yes. The term “RINO” truly fits Tillis.
As illegals are removed from the USA more and more jobs become available.
"Trade" jobs are becoming higher paid as well. ($ 100,000 + !).
Law Enforcement salaries are becoming attractive in various locations if you look and persevere thru training and early starting $. (NY State Police start at $ 72,000 and go to $ 100,000 + in second year.). My #2 grandson started NYPD last week Academy. 732 started at the same time. With over 15 years on and various promotions, Matt a Detective and Amanda a Sgt, together they make $ 300,000 + overtime.
The NYPD has FORCED overtime at some areas, because of low staffing at some areas, like Subway, buses, etc. Matt wasn't home for 7 days because of UN work. ( 70 + hours of OT in 7 days, slept at Station.)
Keep your dog on a leash if poorly trained. Our little 20 pounder doesn't get let outdoors without her shock collar, just in case.
My Mom was attacked by a group of dogs roaming thru her property. Local and State officer tracked down the pack and shot them all.
Dad found out the owners and sued them all and was awarded huge $'s.
So basically Tillis is a hero as Losertown took over the GOP.
You all traded good, normal voters who show up every election for people who tuned into politics for a reality TV star. It was an awful decision that will be consequential for a decade after Trump.
The chickens are coming home to roost.
My Ancestry.com research shows no Slavish blood lines.
Wanting for American politicians to legislate FIRST in America's interest is logical !
It's important for Attorney's to know AND enforce laws as Officers of the Court.
That you don't know the facts and the respective laws broken by those tasked with that sacred duty is jaw dropping.
No matter the Jurisdiction.
That you don't recognize this IS TDS.
The $ 400,000,000 Millions that Chi-na and Russia charged Iran and others for radar and SAMS were cheaply made and ineffective.
Thank The Lord.
A 3,000 pound mass of various metals and plastic IS, in the wrong or poorly trained hands, a deadly weapon !
Law Enforcement is ALLOWED to defend themselves from these type of attacks.
No questioning of intent is necessary or timely.
I can honestly say I never knew or watched Trump on tv when I finally did know he was on tv.
I only knew of him as a developer of usually distressed real estate in NYC, that he would buy cheap and replace with quality for a profit.
Only later did I find his efforts at golf. His Bedminster course is land huge and a beautifully kept facility. As usual he bought it at a bankruptcy sale. (De Loren)
"Land, they aren't making more !", Will Rogers.
Our 30 + chickens, there are always a few that have to be herded up into their coop.
SETH KESHEL SPECIAL, I love it. I am so jacked that Seth is telling you the lies you need to hide the pain that cometh. I was hoping he wasn't actually credible, and he has delievered.
SETH SETH SETH SETH!
Ironically, I think Rs are probably going to win Maine and Iowa. And lose NC, Texas, Alaska, and Ohio. But other than NC and perhaps Texas (where Talarico leads literally every poll), you can find a narrative where Rs eek out a couple of close wins and hold the Senate OR you can find one where Dems go a staggering 7 for 7 in the most contested races (adding Michigan to the six I just listed).
Again, I don't think pollsters are lying, but sometimes they are wrong. Ann Selzer had Trump winning by more in Iowa in 2016 and 2020 than almost anyone else. Her 2024 poll was badly wrong. A smart person defines her by all three efforts, plus all the other polls she conducted.
What's come clear over the last two years is that the majority of Americans hate Trump. They just forgot about it in a hail of bad governance by Biden, who really sucked.
The far left and fringe right unfortunately control primaries, thus sticking the normies with idiot candidates like Trump, Paxton, Kamala, and the like. All those of us outside the fringes can do is hope for reason prevailing in one of the two parties or primary reform (I'd vote for the latter first). I think each party should have a state committee which nominates up to 3 candidates for each races and let's the voters decide among them, perhaps with ranked choice voting.

By the way, it's notable that Trump's biggest collapses are occurring in states like Nebraska and Kansas, where decency among the population is a real thing. These are people who don't like the Democratic Party but actually care about character and competence.
Of course Trump is falling apart across the Plains. A complete lack of character and limited actual competence.

By now, it’s hard to be surprised by bad poll results for Mr. Trump. Still, these results from such Republican-leaning states — which gave Mr. Trump an average of 56 percent of the vote in 2024 — are striking.
Across the five states, the president’s approval rating was just 40 percent, while 57 percent had an unfavorable view. That’s not much better than Mr. Trump’s ratings in recent national polls. The results also represent a significant decline in his support since our last polls in four of these states in June. Since then, his ratings have fallen by five points.
There are two basic possible explanations for how Mr. Trump’s numbers are this bad in these states. One is that his ratings have continued to slide everywhere, not just in these states, since our last Times/Siena poll, which wouldn’t necessarily be hard to explain with gas prices and mortgage rates rising.
Another possibility is that Mr. Trump is suffering disproportionate losses in these five Republican-leaning states. Demographics, alone, would not be a sufficient explanation. It would take something more, like greater exposure to high diesel prices in the Farm Belt. Or there could even be a break in Mr. Trump’s support among the traditional Republicans who never loved Mr. Trump’s conduct or his policies on issues like tariffs or immigration, but nonetheless consistently backed him in every general election.
Interestingly, all five of these states voted against Mr. Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.

This is the dumbest **** I’ve seen in years an MAGA absolutely loves it.
Who is the audience for the free $$$ giveaway from Trump? It's very weird.
It's a conspiracy theory that the Republicans are going to get crushed. People love Trump and all he's brought, nothing that has happened has been upsetting to them.
Guys ... Seth Keshel is a liar. He's playing you for Twitter engagement and monetization (somewhere). This is all fantasy.
Bloodbath, that's what is coming.
