Out of curiosity, I went to Polymarket. Tulsi and Kennedy are the lowest with about 80%. Everyone else is in the mid 90s. A little surprised Hesgeth is at 97% (guess he survived the surge to take him out).

I would bet that the nominees at risk are Kennedy and Tulsi...having been Democrats (at least nominally) is already two strikes for many GOP senators.

Tulsi also has some long-time association the Science of Identity Foundation, which seems like a forced marriage between Hare Krishna and Scientology:

“…
Founded by Chris Butler, also known as Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa, the group has thousands of followers in Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. Butler’s teachings blend traditional Hindu philosophy with a rigid hierarchy of devotion to him as a spiritual leader.

Former members and critics describe the group as cult-like, citing its authoritarian structure and allegations of intolerance toward LGBTQ individuals, women, and Muslims. Members reportedly view Butler as an extension of God, and questioning his authority is seen as a spiritual offense. Critics, including some former followers, accuse the group of fostering a climate of fear and control. …”

The Hare Krishna offshoot cult that could jeopardize Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as Director of National Intelligence - Times of India

The nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence is under threat due to her controversial ties with the Science of Identity Foundation, a sect that critics describe as cult-like. This controversy has drawn bipartisan scrutiny and raised questions about her qualifications and...

Joni Ernst was the key and she has signaled support. Her “questions” to him in the hearing were carefully stated answers for him to nod along and agree with.

Why is it "nonsense?"

You obviously don't like the way the conversation went. But why the discern? Did she say anything that wasn't true?

No. She did not.

Sorry you are having a bad few months...

I haven't the bandwidth to explain to you why your media diet has rotted your brain, and you haven't the capacity to tell truth from fiction to understand even if I bothered to lay it out straight for you.

I'm sorry you are the way you are.

If “sorry you are having a bad few months” is how you are going to respond to people on this board, you will not do well here. Either grow the fuck up and participate like a non-douchebag MAGA (or at least pretend like they actually exist and act like you believe they would), or find a new board to troll.

I promise you, this will not end well with you if you are here to gloat rather than debate. Don’t be a dick.

From the guy that has made being a "dick" for the last 20 years. You and Henry made being a "dick" a thing on the old boards.

I'm not a MAGA. Not gloating. I never have been overly political for one side or the other. You know who I am and my history has proven I call it down the middle.

You don't. If I recall correctly you have NEVER voted for a Republican and you are 70 or so...

If you want me banned the make the call.

LOL... And MSNBC is the truth?

Rachel Maddow, Nicole Wallace are the voice of truth.

You are nothing but the other side of the Trump coin.
 
lol. someone who isn't maga or maga adjacent or a complicit bo'sider wouldn't make that "sorry you are having a bad few months" comment because in non-right wing fever swamp realityland, people understand that everyone is in fact having a bad few months including those who don't know it or understand it.

it is clear cut gloating / antagonism.

What is the "discern"?

Your post is just another piece of evidence in the massive collection of "signs that trumpers are haters, not serious people." I've seen this too many times -- people who use Trump winning as some kind of cudgel to lash out at their perceived enemies (we aren't, but y'all need enemies so much you will invent them). The guy who got kicked off the airplane for shouting "Trump, bitches" at other passengers, for instance.

Imagine carrying such a grudge for so long. Against a volunteer moderator on a message board just trying to do his job thanklessly and unpaid. Your sense of entitlement is off the fucking charts, far in excess of the accommodations you actually deserve. So it spills out onto other people. Y'all so angry that you can't say exactly what you want when and where you want it that you become professional trolls.

that guy didn't actually get kicked off that flight, unfortunately. but he was banned from Delta for life as a result of the incident. he's an ignorant 'neck and probably doesn't travel that often but what an epic self-own.

No... anyone that disagrees, has a different opinion, feels strongly on their opinions has always been called a troll by many on the old board and now this one.

You claim to be the party of "acceptance." But only with views you support.

By the way... calling eveyone a "troll" that doesn't agree with you is a very low IQ way of wanting an intelligent conversation.

I mean... you are the smartest person here right????

You ripped off the "can't we just get along" and "I'm a middle of the road independent" masks pretty fast. Pace yourself.
 
Mortgage rates increase for the fifth week in a row. Thanks, Trump.

Who is Trump threatening with these economic measures? Us?
