Let’s give Donald some credit here, shall we? At least he didn’t say, “Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah.” Nor did he do a Bronx cheer, nor did he record a video of himself mooning Thom Tillis. Yet. We may come to see these things, because we are dealing with a very unhinged man. And I say “man” meaning only adult male, not that Trump is a man in the way that that term is usually applied, to a person not only of years, but of maturity, life experience, knowledge, skills, wisdom even. Here’s his latest.
And you know what, Donald? The day will come when headlines blare TRUMP DEAD (from whatever whatever) and there will be crowds cheering in the streets. Liquor sales will spike, champagne in particular. Around the world people will guffaw and laugh and party. Trump’s Deathday may become an annual holiday, who knows?
It’s not “great news.” Tillis was far from being the worst senator to ever serve in the upper chamber. And the fact that Tillis is going out, in 180 degree opposition to Trump, is going to be the crowning glory of his career. He may even serve to inspire other Republicans to grow a pair and stand up to the dictator.
And even if Tillis was a disgrace to the Senate and the GOP (we’re thinking Joseph McCarthy here) it’s not classy to act like a bully on the schoolyard. But class, like brains, is a commodity that Trump doesn’t exactly possess in abundance.
Roy Cooper is going to run and Tillis was probably the only person that could beat him. Chalk it up to +1 for the Dems. Truly Trump will be the destruction of the Gop. Like everything else he touches it turns to shit

We might be able to retake both chambers of Congress in 2026. The Senate won’t be a cake walk but here at the end of June, 2025, it is looking more doable than it was even two weeks ago. And if Lara Trump runs against Roy Cooper, invest in popcorn futures. That will be entertainment.
And even if we only regain the House, if the GOP has the Senate by a sliver, let’s say worse than in 2018, we can still do a lot to damage Trump’s mad agenda. But wouldn’t it be a great psychological blow to regain both chambers? And by that time, Trump will be such a raving lunatic that Susie Wiles will probably have to put an ankle bracelet on him to know when he’s about to exit the White House doors, so she can see if he remembered to put on clothes.
If Roy Cooper runs…Lara might as well pick up her singing career in biker bars and Maga rallies full of fat white clueless racists. Keep celebrating your defeats…never interrupt your enemy in the midst of their mistakes.
