Personally, I hope DeSantis runs in 2024....though I'm realising that....it doesn't actually matter that much.

However, the insane hyperbolic nature of TDS has a kind of car crash ghoulness to it that kind of tempts a desire to just see it continue for the sheer absurdity of it. I mean we are literally flirting with nuclear war yet these berks will justify the path to that yet still waffle on about how evil Trump is.

Mental illness is a problem though so perhaps it's just better if it's someone else.

I thought this was an interesting article.

Simply untrue.

As I have very clearly said if either is proved true then let the law speak.

I also gave my opinion and reasons why one appears more likely than the other.

Today I listened to episode 2 of the Radio 4 podcast "the Coming Storm".

This is an insightful, objective and scrupulously fair analysis of what's going on in US politics. This episode, made as the mid terms results were being counted, primarily deals with the "Hunter Biden Laptop" story, it's background, how and why it emerged, who was behind it's exploitation and the motivation for doing so.

It answers many questions, and lays lots of myths to bed. It leaves some questions unanswered and, to my mind, also fails to ask some others. Maybe they will be brought to the surface if a House Committee Investigation is started. As now seems the logical next chapter in this saga. If we don't get one, then why not will be the another question!

There is a great deal more I could say about the detail, and possibly will in due course, but for anyone genuinely interested in the truth about this, and who hasn't yet heard it, I recommend you do.

So here we have another post which follows the script fed by the Trump supporting US right into the world of social media and blames "TDS" as the father of their problems.

This is an extract from the Wiki entry for "TDS":-

"Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term usually for criticism or negative reactions to former United States President Donald Trump that are perceived to be irrational, and presumed to have little regard towards Trump's actual policy positions, or actions undertaken by his administration. The term has mainly been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of his actions, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world. Politico co-founder John Harris wrote that TDS is related to gaslighting, "another psychological concept in vogue in the Trump era."
