      It’s a point of fact that TDS is just as prevalent in Trump supporters as it is in Trump detractors.

          I wouldn’t call those who took Presidential authority seriously “morons.” Maybe they just trust and respect the president’s communications and panicked. And I don’t believe the correcting tweet called Trump “a moron.”

          Would it be bad to suggest you might have a touch of TDS, just in the opposite direction?

              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              • FTR, I'm pretty much in agreement with Teal, and have been throughout this thread.

                I can't find the original tweet from NWS Birmingham, but my recollection is that it was unnecessarily brusque. There was no positive purpose to be gained by a tweet with that tone and tenor.

                  • That's really something I don't want the President doing when dozens of people have died and tens of thousands are homeless from that hurricane.

                    I understand the man is a sociopath of sorts and doesn't "get" human empathy but that's one of those things he should be able to figure out, anyway.

                      And I for one believe it's intentional. He certainly has been working in the interest of Putin and Russia.

He's spent six consecutive days tweeting about it by this point, and given that he is obviously, provably wrong in this case, there's no discernable strategy I can imagine.
                        Yep I agree with this. This was Trump not wanting to admit he was wrong. Kind of reminded me of a few unnamed twebbers who will go on for 100s pages rather than admit they were wrong on something.

                          It remains the case that Trump misrepresented the projection data and analysis at the time and then later (seemingly successfully) compelled the relevant agencies to backtrack and essentially create a false record.
                          Whaaaat? Now that sounds like a conspiracy theory, Sam.

                            I'm imagining the haggard miens of the folks working that treadmill. If it weren't for his penchant for repetition, they'd never get a break.
                            That "database" is a joke. It lists stuff like opinions, obvious hyperbole, errors, etc as "lies"

                            It has no credibility and is just leftist TDS propaganda.

                              How so? There was no map like the one Trump drew. There were different, earlier maps that had a larger cone which included AL but there was no map that had Trump's little "see i was right" bump.

                                That looks like a twebber going on and on for hundreds of pages rather than admitting they are wrong. Sort of a rightist TDS propaganda issue.
