Tom Tillis Won't Run for Re-Election in NC

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Speak English.

He would....but he doesn't really know what he is saying, either.

He would....but he doesn't really know what he is saying, either.

I mean...who is he imaging is the fiscal conservative? Tillis? He's not running again. Trump? He's not a fiscal conservative or even a conservative.

Why don't you go ahead and stay in that one. It'll raise the IQ of this one.

 

[Paddlefoot]

Pat Harrigan or Lara Trump is just as qualified for the senate as Tom.

 

[MarcATL]

Why would they call attention to it?

Biden with his dementia was an easy mark

What do you believe they all got from their "easy mark?"

 

[Paddlefoot]

From seeing video of the crowd, I would have to say the town paid way more for the car to do the stunt as it was worth. It was just a copy and never used in the show.

 

[MarcATL]

Well those cognitively challenged due to brainwashing, ideological manipulation, hyper partisanship or whatever, probably don't recognize dementia when they see it up close and personal, much less when manipulated by a dishonest media. That goes doubly for those so intellectually dishonest they believe that dishonest media rather than what they own common sense tells them..

You believe all world leaders were brainwashed?!???

 

[Foxfyre]

Blaming the media when Trump is already bullying Tillis on social media for refusing to support this total bullshit bill.

So dishonest.

ANY Republican intellectually deficient or ideologically radical enough to vote against that bill should be drummed out of the Party> (There's no ay to do that.)

Responsible government is not dogma or doctrine but rather doing what is best to do that can be done. Trump has more courage than 99% of people in government because he doesn't accept that anything can't be accomplished until he has exhausted all possible means to accomplish. Most give up after a try or two and absolve themselves of any responsibility with a disingenuous "I tried."

But Trump understands that the art of the deal means that there has to be give and take, adjustments, compromises, negotiations, and nobody will likely get every single thing he/she wants. You get the best you can get for now and then get to work on accomplishing what had to wait.

To stop the immigrant invasion once and for all, to make his first term tax reforms permanent, to begin the process of wresting the government away from the deep state and professional politicians and returning it to the people are all solid reasons the bill needs to pass now.

To fail to do so will have huge bad consequences for us all.

He is retiring because his loyalties are to something else. He was called out on it. Not the only one.

 

[Foxfyre]

I have been posting with Foxfyre for many years now. She didn't used to be dishonest. Sad!

You've been calling me dishonest for the entire time we've both been here. Speaking of being dishonest yourself.

And now you can't tell me how my previous post was dishonest. I try very hard not to be.

 

[whitehall]

A democrat pickup would be business as usual and at least republicans would know where they stand. Tillis is a cowardly bastard who would not give Trump a break and vote along party lines for tax breaks for Americans including North Carolinians.

Why? It's not a conservative bill.

How is adding over $4 trillion to the national debt a conservative bill, simp?

You radical, deranged MAGAs don't know the meaning of the word "conservative".

The "cowards" are all the Republican Senators and House members who voted for this bill knowing damn well that it's a total ******* shit sandwich. Yet they voted for it anyway because they are chicken shits terrified of Trump.

Tillis is about the only Republican showing any courage.

I never used to. I remember when you started the coffee thread, and you were very reasonable back then. But that may have been pre-MAGA.

Good choice!

You have no idea what's in this bill, do you? You are totally going on faith, and belief in Trump, right?

I have never been pre-MAGA. I have always been who I am and I like who I am. I have no intentional of changing my beliefs about what makes a strong, secure, free, prosperous America.

I know what you post. And it has been/is never complimentary about me. Shame on you for your intellectual dishonesty.
