You can’t be a republican senator if you have a backbone. I wonder how these senators go home and tell their children that their job is sucking Donald Trumps D***!
What an a$$!! For once Mitch McConnell voted on the good side and that spineless senator flipped again and voted for Hegseth?!
So to summarize, there are 3 GOP senators, who are not ready to go as low as the rest of this party… Nothing good can be expected 😒
He also had lunatic LT Gov who was technically acting gov when Cooper was out of state (didn’t want to risk shenanigans) And VP would have precluded running for senate. He’s a little older, but has never lost a statewide race
Cooper was also concerned about his Lt Gov staging a coup while he was on the campaign trail with Harris. Thankfully we in NC voted that nazi out so that’s no longer an issue.
I remember reading that, but I didn’t 100% buy it. I will defer to you, if you say it’s legit. What indication do you have that he’s gearing up to run for Senate?
While he's a quiet person, he's extremely interested in helping the country. His openness and willingness to confront issues headon are why he's so popular. Don't let his quietness fool you. He's a very tough person.
He didn’t run because when a governor is out of state campaigning, the lieutenant governor can take over, and knowing mark Robinson, he certainly would have so Roy sacrificed to protect NC
He didn’t want to be Harris’s running mate because he knew he’d be leaving NC in the hands of Mark Robinson, the Lt. Governor at the time, to campaign around the country!
I heard that Roy declined Harris' VP offer due to the fact that psycho Mark Robinson would have stepped into the Governor's shoes, and NOBODY wanted THAT.
He also didn’t want to be her running mate bc of weird NC provision that automatically makes the Lieutenant Gov (remember Mark “Black Nazi” Robinson?) the Acting Governor whenever the Governor leaves the state. So, Cooper wouldn’t have been able to campaign for fear that Robinson would burn NC down.
Roy Cooper couldn't leave the state during the campaign because crazy Mark Robinson, the Lieutenant Governor, would have immediately started doing who knows what. I was excited about Roy possibly being the VP pick but understood when he withdrew. Look up Mark Robinson if you aren't familiar.
It was more complicated than that. The NC constitution says that if the governor leaves the state the Lt. Governor becomes acting governor and that would left Robinson running amuck signing laws, etc. while Cooper campaigned etc.
Sadly, I am his constituent. Sent two messages to him, expressing my deep-deep disappointment. It would bring me great happiness to be represented by someone more deserving, like Roy Cooper
Sorry to intrude but can I offer your followers a little suggestion please?
Vote in every god damn election, no matter how big or small - regardless of where you live. Stop these idiots locally, statewide & nationally. That includes any 2025 & 2026 elections. That’s your job. Now go out & do it!
From here on Out…….. that’s really all everyone has left! “If”no one votes all these republicans OUT by the end of 2026, then we All can definitely forget about 11.7.28! As they will remove all voting rights! No mail in Ballots as those were sabotaged in November 2024! Get in line! Everyone 24/7!
That's been my Goal! I sent him & other GOP Senators SCATHING EMAILS last week! I urge ALL DEMOCRACY DEFENDERS to do the VERY SAME! In NJ & VA, there will be Gubenatorial Elections this NOV! These Elections will be the BELLWEATHER for the Midterms in 2026! IMPEACHMENT with a BLUE Congress is OURS!
Another loser with a government job that gets paid way too much to fuck over America. Bobert was screaming about how people should get paid the minimum wage because it hurts businesses. Let's pay these motherfuckers $7.25 an hour, make them work 50 weeks per year let's see who's really for America
And are not allowed to receive any kickbacks, bribes, trade stocks, or any money AT ALL except their pay. Getting elected should not be a pathway to millions
All politicians are parasites. We let them point us at each other instead of holding them accountable. We deserve this mess, now we focus on surviving, then on not letting it happen again.
I keep hearing that the state's immediate past governor, Roy Cooper, will run against him, but so far I haven't heard it from anyone in a position to know. And if any other Democrat has declared, I haven't heard about it.
I'm in NC and there exist no GOP person with a spine. They lie and cheat often here, but strong and confident? No. That's why Trump leads them. They're all cowards imo.
Also in NC, & Rs here have done zip to help people in NC.Glad I live in Rieves district. He fights for us everyday.To bad I am also in a R distrust in Congress who is 100% maga.
Yep. Tillis and Pope didn't care one way or the other about the DoD. They DID care about shoring up support in the areas where Cal Cunningham nearly won, even after dropping trow - namely Robeson, Scotland, Anson, etc.
Trump signs a memo directing Interior about Lumbee recognition. Votes locked.
ALL politics is local. It's the rip tides that kill ya.
Lumbee are not going to get that recognition either. The EBCI (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) has opposed it from the start (casinos) and pushed back on the legislative route. The administrative route through Interior is a road to nowhere.
What a royal prick. This fucking Republicans are just the epitome of rot. Democrats need to start playing by their rules...are you listening Amy, Chuck, Hakeem, and the six dipshit knee benders who voted for an election denier, puppy, goat, horse killer and @##@ who dances with the devil himself.
What does HE have on them? It must be really heavy. I'm convinced this was Keith Shillers ( his NYC bodyguard )job To collect and collate dirt on R MOCs that Tru** would/could use. Ala J.Edgar Hoover
He pitched himself as a phony moderate in the 20 teens, but had proven to be nothing but a sycophant. We’ve picked off some NC GOP Senators before… remember Kay Hagan? (RIP)
I Was Appalled By The Ignorance Of Republicans Who Stated Hegseth’s Character Wasn’t Enough To Disqualify Him—Then Ignored Hegseth’s Lack Of Experience And Qualifications Required To Be Director Of DOD!! Fucking Morons Electing Morons!!
Hey Thom. You are an enabler! You are the worst type of coward. This NC resident is looking to replace you in ‘26. Trump will be the least of your problems.
Don't just wait until the next election. Get on the phone, get on the e-mail and tell your elected reps what you think. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
NC went for the Shitgibbon and the NCGA has a Republican majority, but they lost their supermajority with this cycle. Five statewide offices are held by Democrats.

YES! And what about Senator Joni Ernst voting yes to nominate the low IQ alcoholic wife cheating/abusing, FOX News host? Joni was sexually abused herself while serving in the military. She voted yes to confirm this deplorable idiot who’s obviously unqualified to be the Secretary of Defense! So Sad!
GOP hates women. That’s why they love Hegseth - he didn’t do anything wrong in their eyes - just another man like them . Rapist, wife beater, alcoholic, incompetent businessman. Nothing to see here.
As speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, Tillis led the Republican effort to block the expansion of Medicaid and worked to introduce restrictions on abortion, stringent voting requirements, and a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Keep ppl - women especially - powerless over their own autonomy ( bodily, economically, politically, and educationally) so that they can be manipulated and used to serve the GOP and its agenda. No surprises here.💙🇺🇸
Ahhhhhhhh that’s Next: Republicans overturning proposition 8 nationwide! Undoing same sex marriage! That’s the #1 reason a lot of openly gay & married celebrities left America asap in Nov 2024!
Yes! All change has to begin locally now. We know our leaders in D.C. are feckless, incl. the current Dem leadership. Have they made any kind of national impact in protesting all this? https://Redwine.blue is very active in N.C. and has helped keep the state supreme court issue in the news. Volunteer!
I am a kind and vompassionate person. But I do not give a single shit about the fate of these corrupt sons of bitches, or their families, as they throw our Democracy out the window. Come what may. They have driven me to this.
I’ve read that article three times and still don’t understand. She was going to testify he’s a sloppy drunk and wife beater. But Tillis wants her to testify? To sway his vote how? I’m confused.
Let them embarrass themselves fully. Perhaps after all this, we can finally show that conservatives and capitalists are fucking poison, true evil, and lawmakers will then put laws in place to preclude their next rise.
Most of the repubs in the senate do not have spines. Kissing the ring of the king is more important to them than the country they were elected to serve.
HOW to restore democracy without triggering martial law? FIRST hurt the Oligarchs where it counts. Dont unnecessarily consume. Save your $. Don't buy Teslas. Cancel Amazon. Shop local. Bank at credit unions. ETC. Chaos and cruelty is the name of their game. We need a better plan but this is a start.
Well, then I guess I may as well not even try. [Ha! NOT!] News flash Tokyo Rose, movements build over time. I'm doing my part & encouraging those around me to follow suit. Give it time to grow before you kill a movement. Speak up when you have a better plan. Meanwhile, don't be a Debbie Downer.
America is a two bit autocracy that will fall during the Civil War that is to come! I have been wrong on many things, and I hope that I am wrong on this!!!
This is what happens when you have a lonely little boy with ASpergers, growing up with a domineering parent and no friends
They are expecting that.

It's exposed. We need to infuse morality into MAGA. Our values are not only different, they are polar opposite. Alsi, MAGA is a cult & they are ok with whatever Trump is ok with.
I’m Australian, and live in 🇦🇺 .
Watching 🇺🇸 in disbelief, as MAGA try to destroy all that is good and decent.
My family already cancelled FB, TT, Instagram, Amazon and Target. (We already had all Rupert Murdoch media blocked).
💙🇺🇸 isn’t alone. We stand with you. #Resist
Welcome. I’m Dutch and American and I love both countries for different reasons, but it’s a dangerous time for America and globally. We have a man who emulates Hitler in the presidency
With far right politics in American government, and rising in Germany, it’s a frightening time. The Liberal Party in Australia are like the American Republican MAGA party too. 🤬 It’s time for all resisters to take a stand. March, petition, spread news, correct propaganda and vote the bastards out.
I think it’s also important to strengthen the reality based narrative in public conversations. And find something specific you care about, report on it truthfully, and support groups that are tackling that specific issue.
I live in NC & would never vote for any R. From what I hear, my county is biggest target for Rs in next election, bc Cty in D & yrs ago was R.Also has 1 one largest turnout of D voters in state.Rs have tried for yrs to get MAGAs back in control from school bd on up.
Don’t underestimate double down arrogant ignorance of men who attach themselves to others into devaluing themselves consistently
Dt certainly has a charmed life in devaluing others so consistently as head hunters do
In consuming humans
I’m an Independent voter in NC and the Tillis team sent out a survey asking what I-voters thought of Trump & MAGA. I responded by saying that I think MAGA is a cancer that it is destroying our country. I’m sure my response went right in the circular file.

Yup, disappointing.
I don’t know names of all 50 Governors so if I know who your Gov is, they either suck real bad or are fabulous!
Remember this in news? Trump comparing the thug to MLK is sick.

While Trump somehow managed to win in NC, every major state-wide election went for the Democrats (Gov, LtGov, AG, etc)
High voter turnout WILL flip some seats.

Thom Tillis is a fucking liar.
I don't care who ya are..
Tillis is a known liar and we should treat him as such.
