Projection is the coin of the realm in this world. We have seen this projected with Epstein originally, the fake anti-war stuff, etc. Trump Derangement Syndrome is just the projection of Trump Delusion Syndrome; holding on to firmly held false beliefs that contradict reality and that persist despite evidence to the contrary

Baltimore Guy definitely has TDS, Jeff! No contest. If only TDS people were capable of feeling ashamed of themselves…

Who was screaming like their “collective hair was on fire”, when you said you loved the moment? He must have had a challenge going where he just had to type “TDS” as soon as possible.

Agreed, TDS needs to be thoroughly redefined to embody the blindness or irrational worship of DJT by his MAGA followers. Also, the guy’s post implies your post represents all of the left? Maybe. I too loved the ovation the hockey women received on SNL; it was a great monologue segment.

As usual Jeff, you're spot on. It's taken me a long time, too long, to realize it's a waste of time to reason with these dopes. They are in a cult and sadly not very bright either. tRump lies virtually every time he opens his pie hole but there is one truthful statement that he uttered, that being " I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and my supporters wouldn't care". Truer words have never been said.

It is head scratching and baffling that he continues to have followers. In June he announced that our bombing Iran obliterated their nuclear capabilities. Saturday he announced that they were capable of imminent stikes on the USA. Come on. I read the piece in today's NYT of six of his followers interviewed in Texas about their reaction to the war with Iran. Five (5) of six (6) support him. WTF kind of thinking is that? Depressing. OTOH, an encouraging sign--a candidate for the newly redistricted 41st Congressional seat knocked on my door and talked. Walking precincts! Yeah for that spirit. I donated to him and offered support for Hector de la Torre as superbly qualified.

Thanks Jeff for making me aware of the meaning of TDS. Trump's supporters are blinded by the need to follow a leader and somehow think they can belong to his "congregation." But it's never going to happen, they don't belong and he really doesn't care about them.

There are two types of TDS. Mega suffers from Type II, he can do no wrong. When he says Obama will invade Iran, they don’t see that he invaded Iran too cover up his failures

Props to you for not doxxing this fragment. I would be hard pressed not to.

I couldn't figure out what TDS was, but the little lady in my phone reminded me it could mean either Total Dissolved Solids or Trump Derangement Syndrome. I'm going with the 2nd.

Jeff, thanks for proving your worth and ranking in the TDS leagues. Only a pseudo - New Yorker - Ashkenazi Moral Supremecist - could ignore all the growing support for the Orange superhero. As a reformed Trump / MAGA hater, I'll suggest reading about facts and results and set aside your petty feelings. Oh, but you're the Ashkenazi Moral Supremecist, I forgot. It's insane that you presume everyone of color hates this guy- with quality appointeesike Rubio, RFK and Kristi N, this President is exposing the falsehoods behind the old narratives. You're a writer, Jeff, put down those old stories about Iran, Venezuela, and Mexico. Get behind our country and OUR citizens for a change. It's good to know that your blog will always be about hating the Orange Man who lives so close the your Orangemen.

The misspellings contribute to the real hilarity of this piece. More caps would have been a nice touch, but the finale is a real master stroke in confusion..."It's good to know that your blog will always be about hating the Orange Man who lives so close the your Orangemen." Quoted in case you have visitation with the kids this weekend and they show you how to use "edit."
