What exactly triggered silver-TDS? Anyone know?

They watch CNN and MSNBC. They tune everything else out. And many of them are retirees now so they're probably getting paid to do it. Supplemental income.

Most of those people in that photo still believe that Trump called for a bloodbath on voters if he didn't win instead of talking about the automotive industry. Why? Because CNN and MSNBC and the Democrats told them he did.

Why is every anti-Trump protest like this now?

Donno but something triggered all these memaws at the same time.

Have they been running inflammatory ads on the Lifetime channel?

Not buying that they getting paid for this as memaw only leaves the house to spend money.

Well, remember the Democrats in the media are pushing the narrative that Social Security is going to end and some other things like Medicare. It's not true, but that's what they think. A bunch of these are probably foemer hippies or dyed in the wool Democrats. And they had massive TDS.

You right. Probably the social security / Medicare angle that did it. Cutting SS/Medicare been a preferred dog whistle for half a century.

There have been a lot more people acting like ******s over that same 3 months, so I'll allow it

Those are the aged angry liberals seeking attention. Also known to the old school Soviets as the useful idiots.

The only news consumed by them is from the propagandists of the left. Rachel Maddow, Mr. Tingles and the Joe and Mika clown show that only bring out the best of the useful people. LOL. I have in laws that are deranged Democrats.

🚨 THERE IT IS. You ever wonder why all these anti-DOGE, anti-Musk, anti-Trump protests are senior citizens?

More data supporting the silver-TDS epidemic.

Run into several folks recently that are retired and have more money than they know what to do with. For all practical purposes they insulated from anything that happens as having no direct impact on their life.

Nevertheless, they somehow seething with TDS such that every conversation is re-directed to Trump as boogeyman.

They ate up with it.

NSFW, but wow, is this the first instance of Stage 6 TDS?

New level of TDS has been achieved.

Silver-TDS rolls on in Canada.

Infected the minds of her most experienced citizens.

TDS has consumed them as 'dealing with Trump' is their #1 priority.

I never read the NY Times. But today a blog I follow posted a free link to an article about tourism protests in Spain, and against my better judgment, I clicked. Short article, but dozens of comments.

The absolute breathtaking snootiness of the commenters was one thing. Good lord, NY Times readers certainly think highly of themselves (and look down on everyone else).

But even worse is that every third or fourth comment made some reference to Orange Man Bad or how Americans are hated because of Trump, etc., etc.

They remind me of Jan on the Brady Bunch complaining about Marcia: "Trump, Trump, TRUMP!!!!"

I can't imagine living life that way.

Trump forgives Gretchen for the staged kidnapping stunt and invites to the oval office but somehow can't get it done without acting like a 14 y/o girl.

She almost made it but then some TDS leaked out.

Says she didn't want her picture taken!

Imagine going to the most photographed place on earth with the most photographed man on earth and somehow deciding you don't want your picture taken.

How privileged you got to be to think that's an option?

Trump paddles Gretchen for this little stunt.

Safe to say that some percentage of TDSers rage against Trump because he gives them the tingles and they feel bad about it.

This is probably one of these cases.

Gretchen smitten with Trump. She keeps showing up where Trump is.

Great piece in the NY Post from someone (former CIA spook, LOL) who may have had TDS and now recognizes their error/mistake. Recoveries are rare but it's wonderful to see them when it happens. "I was wrong about Donald Trump."

Quote:

In retrospect, I can see that the sources of error lay within me. Trump is one of a kind and escaped my ready-made categories. He's also a mixture of popular culture and personal weirdness the hair, the hand gestures, the dancing which everything in my background told me was not to be taken seriously.

Let me offer a significant example: political oratory. My models of eloquence in political speech are Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan. When, on YouTube or television, their voices speak to me from beyond the grave, my heart beats faster and I'm overcome with sadness that nobody today delivers such an effect.

Trump's rhetoric leaves me cold. When he spoke of "American carnage" in his first inaugural address, I had no idea what he was talking about. When he proclaimed a "golden age" to coincide with his second presidency, it sounded like empty bragging.

How he deals with important issues is perplexing to me. He berates adversaries, high and low, in a manner that seems petty and often childish. His style of talking, which he calls "the weave," spins around and around and seldom arrives at its destination.

All this could be interpreted as a criticism of Trump, but I intend it rather as a partial explanation of why I failed to obtain an accurate picture of the man. Trump, after all, is a performer who carried a trivial reality TV show to popularity for more than a decade he well knows how to communicate with the American public. And I get the humor.

Watching Trump be Trump can be vastly entertaining; there's no predicting what he will say next.
The key to the Trump rhetoric may be found in that unique ritual part county fair, part revival meeting known as the "Trump rally."

What becomes evident from viewing these events on TV is that Trump loves the adoration of the crowd. But more than this, he loves the crowd itself, the proximity to ordinary people.

He may be the only American politician who currently displays, and knows how to convey, a visceral affection for voters. He's clearly energized in their presence, to the extent that he never wants the show to end. Just like some operatic arias offer an excuse for the diva to flaunt her vocal skills, the meanderings of the weave are Trump's pretext for keeping himself in front of his audience.
That's his moment of transcendence.

But I have come to see that the mistake was mine. Some dim instinct for survival in the elite establishment allowed it to recognize the form of its destroyer. In the most improbable turn of all, Trump has emerged as the avatar of the digital age, a Hegelian figure bearing the direction of history, the Weltgeist, upon his shoulders. The plodding hierarchies of the federal government have collided with the digital warriors Trump has let loose among others, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

It isn't a fair fight. The traumatized old regime is being torn apart limb from limb.

I have been wrong before, but this feels final. The odds are massively against Trump replacing the existing system with one of his own though, of course, there's always that strange attractor force at work.

But there will be no going back to some artificial version of the long-gone 20th century; no reactionary fantasy world imposed by the analog mentality; no online censorship, no debankings, no politicized bureaucracy.

AP and CNN show TDS by talking with poor slavers/human traffickers whose income has been disrupted by Trump:

Quote:

There has been a long-running joke about the press that if Trump does anything positive, they will find the negative to report on that result. If Trump were to find a cure for cancer, the reporting would be how Trump is putting life-saving doctors out of work. Now they have devolved into their own punchline.

Yesterday, RedState's Rusty Weiss gave us the CNN interview where the outlet conducted with a Mexican cartel member to discuss the adverse effects Trump's border policy is having on their operations. This was unreal, as reporter Isobel Yeung literally asked for impressions from this criminal on how they have been described by the president. "The cartels have been labeled a foreign terrorist organization. What do you make of that?" Seriously?! This was allowed on their airwaves. This can be paraphrased thusly: "The president called you a bad name how does that make you feel?"

So Republicans should not be granted equal time, but human trafficking cartels need to have their side heard. Got it. Now enter the Associated Press. In similar fashion, the straight-down-the-middle-unbiased-non-partisan news syndicate traveled to Panama to record the effects of the first 100 days of the Trump administration. That is to say, they wanted to get a look at the negative impacts the new border policy was having on towns in Central America. If this sounds like a daft approach to this issue, just wait.

The AP has taken a sympathetic look into how some Central American towns have been adversely affected by the severe drop in illegal migrant traffic. Small communities that saw remarkable prosperity for their region have seen that flow of wealth grind to a halt. We are supposed to feel for one resident in a remote jungle abode as he watches the vile man who cut off his money supply…appearing on the flatscreen television he watches with his exclusive electrical hookup.

Quote:

With that burst of wealth, many in towns like Luis Olea's Villa Caleta, in the Comarca Indigenous lands, abandoned their plantain and rice crops to carry migrants down the winding rivers. Olea installed electricity in his one-room wooden home in the heart of the jungle. Families invested in children's education. People built homes and more hopeful lives.

Then the money vanished. After Trump took office in January and slashed access to asylum in the U.S., migration through the Darien Gap virtually disappeared. The new economy bottomed out, and residents newly dependent on it scrambled for options."Before, we lived off of the migration," 63-year-old Olea said. "But now that's all gone."

So we shouldn't feel bad about what's happening to our own citizens regarding illegal alien criminals, but we should be concerned about the economy in latin American towns that were benefiting from illegals moving through? The left - wrong about everything.

Yep. Bowser here is hilarious.

Clearly stage 5 TDS, forced to stand behind Trump as he goes on about the illegal alien invasion Biden-Mayorkas funded/created.

Not TDS, but what do you call it when Trump tweets all NFL owners are "stupid" one week, and the next week the '27 NFL Draft comes to DC. #Winning.

I'm on the MAGA train and there is definitely a method to his tweets/name calling but I don't think Trump is some big advocate for DC.

The Trump Grand Ballroom @ The White House has a nice ring to it.

And I can attest that Ivanka did a bang up job on the Post Office hotel (now a W=A).

And he has Trump National (in Virginia?) next door.

He loves America, DC is capitol of America, so I believe he likely always has been, will be an advocate for DC.

Yeah makes sense

Keep in mind it's the 2027 draft so another chance for him to grandstand as he moves to his final days in office (in addition to the Olympics, 250th birthday of USA, 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Trump is not going to miss a chance to put his name and image on things.

Simply who he is and always has been. I happen to love it, but some don't.

Stephen King has been mentally ill ever since he witnessed a childhood friend being killed by a train. ,
How Stephen King's Childhood Inspired Stand by Me
quote from the article

• When he was a child, Stephen King witnessed one of his friends being killed by a train, though he has no memory of the event. His family told him that after leaving to go play with the boy, King returned, speechless and in shock. Only later did the family learn of the friend's death.

Explains a lot about the subjects in the books he writes.

Likely he pushed his friend in front of the train to see what happened.

He is a sick ****. Him being a flaming liberal is on message.

He's long believed that only thru human suffering can people be redeemed, imho. Really, a fascinating if highly disturbed author.

Never mind. Blocked by the filter.
