In states solidly associated with their own party's incumbent, e.g. Byron Donalds running away from Donald Trump faster than a terrified jackrabbit?

We have Trump's word this is all on the up-and-up.

Brendan Carr strikes me as a perfect apparatchik in a modern Inquisition, and this may help explain why. He really does come across as a hopeless dry drunk.

Does this clueless MAGAt scarf her salmon with brioche and truffle butter?

Donalds has been hot-MAGA and now ... must have been given a poll that is not-good news for him and terrible news for Trump.

Murder people in the street? That's okay, but price of gas? Who-hoo.

Never, ever trust anyone associated with this regime.

Six weeks before the election.
In Florida.

Deceived?
People who voted for Trump last time around did so ...
After Trump got slammed with 34 felony convictions for financial crimes.
Knowing he is a serial bankrupt.
Following his sinking to the status of an adjudicated sexual abuser.
So, deceived? Hardly.
Enablers? Of course.

"The Trump administration is proposing investing $5 billion in a fund that would help Middle East countries rebuild their energy infrastructure following the Iran War ... ."

About that ...

" ... but I also wonder if he has received a difficult medical diagnosis?"

Every time I see Old Yeller, hunched over, waddling, squinting, sweating, mumbling, slurring, sundowning, makeup running, comb-over of weird chem hues, I'm actually a little surprised Natalie was able to help him negotiate the night. He really does look like ----.

So, yeah, possibly from the accumulated effects of a lifetime immersing himself in wrath, greed, pride, envy, sloth, lust, and gluttony fueled by ignorance, self-regard, and low intelligence. Stone cold fatal.

If that surprises you, just hang on and watch ... .

When does the digging of the moat around the White House start?

Gimme a hint Bill. Is it Gawd again?

Follow the money, salaries, and "donations."

They were people who behaved as people behave.

Bill -
The terms "remarkable" and "strange" are, of course, subjective. That said, while my experiences include some along that line I have never, ever seen any reason why I would, could, or should associate any of that with the direct involvement/intervention of an omniscient intelligence focusing its attention on me. But, clearly, mileage in such matters varies.

We are deep into the "My name is Ozymandias" phase of Trump's great unraveling.

ZED - Betcha Cassidy thinks that squeak he let out will be remembered as a roar. That's how up their own fundaments most pols are.

I assume you don't have any of those experiences.

God wanting me to see a particular memo and arranging things so I could see it?
No, Bill, I've experienced nothing like that.
Thank God.

Captivity was a strong theme in the colonial experience from the start. In fact, we have masses of captivity narratives, often steeped in religion and its themes - e.g., lost/redeemed, etc. - and filled with often highly questionable or unverifiable information. Captivity narratives were sensationalistic and quite popular.

If you're attempting to rehabilitate your self-sabotaged reputation, Bill, just fuhgedaboudit, okay? That ship done sailed. Soon, you will be gone from the Senate and largely forgotten - just another loser who bent the knee to Trump, got ensh#ttified and tossed aside. Buh-bye.

Trump often riffs about his Uncle John, who taught at MIT, which Trump thinks somehow makes him - Trump - just about brilliant.
