Tillis’ outrage with Putin will come to an abrupt end when one of two things happens: 1. Fat Donny smacks him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper to remind him who’s boss, or 2. there’s a vote in the Senate to decide whether to cut funding for Ukraine aid. Either way, once the cameras are off, Tillis will revert to the same state of sycophancy and cowardice he always does. In his entire political career (or at least the part of it I’ve observed) when given the choice to vote with the people of North Carolina or the billionaire donor class, he’s taken the latter road every time. It earned him ALEC’s Legislator of the Year when he was NC House Speaker, and got him a ticket on a fast plane to DC, where he was attending a fundraiser while the vote for a state budget was going on. Tillis serves Tillis, and in service to that, he kneels before Trump.
I received his email asking constituents to go watch the video of his speech. What an embarrassment. I called his office and let him know that I will be doing everything in my power to support his opponent.
I am so sick and tired of the form letters I get back from his office that completely miss my point. And forget Mark Harris. A Trump apologist of the worst kind.
I agree with all of the responses about. And I always remind him in my letters and calls that he only won his seat by 401 votes, so he better be careful about how he discusses the NC Supreme Court seat.
Recognizing the strength of an adversary is one thing but inviting them into your home is quite another. Tom understands that Putin's intentions towards us are anything but benevolent, as highlighted in his speeches condemning the atrocities of communism and dictatorship. However, the perplexing part is his admiration for Trump, who has clearly aligned himself with Russia during Ukraine invasion.
Does Tillis not realize that Putin is not an ally? Putin's actions are solely driven by his quest for power and wealth. Tillis’s true colors are finally emerging. As the French would say, he is a quisling. A politician who with little regard for the constituents was elected to serve, but just another flaky politician who collaborated with the enemy. However, when his supporters lose their jobs, the value of their home plummets, and taxes rise to subsidize tax cuts for the wealthy, Tillis may need to reconsider his strategies. As Social Security payments are delayed due to Trump/Musk personal cuts Medicare fails to cover healthcare needs, Tillis might want to make a swift exit out of town.
The GOP has gone full fkg Nazi…what else is there to say? There is no middle road. What distorted lens are we looking with? Have we forgotten what they’ve done to women and children? Have we forgotten what they have done to education and feeding people AND housing people? Have we forgotten what they have done in Gitmo? Did we forget how many of us died while life saving equipment was auctioned off to the highest bidding states? The department of health and human services is now going to be run by a know nothing lunatic. Sometimes I feel like I didn’t wake from nightmare. But I did and it’s the current reality.
I emailed Tillis this morning thanking him for getting his head out of Trump’s ass on at least 1 issue. It will go back in the second Trump barks at him.
Jim Hunt once thought he could beat Jesse Helms. It is going to take not only a willing Roy Cooper but much economic unease from Trump supporters to get Tillis out
Tillis is nowhere close to as popular as Helms was. As despicable as Helms was, he actually was the populist that Tillis pretends to be. Tillis has benefitted from two own-goals by the Democrats.
He ran in a district that was more Red than Blue, but he did win. I agree that Roy has a better chance and I don't think that Wiley will interfere with that. He's too smart. The difference is that I think Roy doesn't really want to do this and Wiley does. No matter who the candidate will be, they will need all the help they can get because we need a Democrat.
An occasional criticism doesn’t absolve the heartless, sycophantic approval of the orange idiot’s agenda. And I thought they represented the people, not the autocrats.
"As for me, the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime is the current Republican Party."
Sadly this is the truest statement made. Musk and Trump, not Putin or even Xi, and certainly not the Woke Mob are the greatest threats to our liberty as a people. Tillis is a cheap hack who is all too comfortable hanging a woman out to be threatened but wants us to sympathize with his whining when he is called to stand up. He is not an honorable man, in fact I'm not sure he is a man at all.

Thom Tillis is a liar's liar.
It's time for "Tillis is a coward" signs to start appearing along NC roads.

My email to Thom Tillis in simple terms he can digest:
Dear Senator Tillis,
I hope you continue backing up your words with action.
As you know actions speak louder than words. Your record on bowing down and walking back your statements with polar opposite actions is well known.
I hope you turn a new leaf and continue to stand with Ukraine.
Kind regards,

I got his email on this speech last night. Whose going run on the democratic side in addition to Wiley Nickel?
I’m holding onto hope for Roy Cooper. He’d clean Tillis’ clock.
Jim Hunt once thought he could beat Jesse Helms. It is going to take not only a willing Roy Cooper but much economic unease from Trump supporters to get Tillis out
Tillis is nowhere close to as popular as Helms was. As despicable as Helms was, he actually was the populist that Tillis pretends to be. Tillis has benefitted from two own-goals by the Democrats.
I gather that you don't like Wiley. I do, although I suspect that Roy has a better chance. Either would serve NC beautifully.
I don’t dislike Wiley, I just prefer Roy. And yes, I do think he’d have a has a better chance of winning.
Wiley had a difficult time winning his US House race in 2022 when our delegation was split 7-7.
He ran in a district that was more Red than Blue, but he did win. I agree that Roy has a better chance and I don't think that Wiley will interfere with that. He's too smart. The difference is that I think Roy doesn't really want to do this and Wiley does. No matter who the candidate will be, they will need all the help they can get because we need a Democrat.
A chameleon

We already know he voted for Hegseth because he’s been threatened with a primary backed by Musk dollars. Spineless.
Yes. He got what he wanted. He could grandstand. Quaint. Ick.
