In what outfit did you serve?  The Bone Spurs Brigade?

 

Being a drunk is okay in Pete's military. Using a hackable app to talk of upcoming operations is okay, but beards...NO!

 

Silly TV Talking Head.

 

In Afghanistan, almost all members of Ground Branch wore beards, as everyone fit in better in Taliban country. That was under Bush II, Obama, Trump 1 and Biden. It wasn't "woke"; it was awareness of how to minimize one's visibility and blend into the landscape as much as possible.

Majority of Americans who VOTED is what I said. Not the majority of Americans. Hopefully you can distinquish between the two.

51.15% of votes cast were cast for someone other than Cheeto Benito is what I said. Try to keep up.

So sensitive.  I thought we were mates.

 

You enjoy giving sh—, but can’t take receiving banter back.  
 

Stand tall, shoulders back and chest out.  Be a man.

I think you should reserve your hopes for yourself. What don't you understand about the fact that a majority of voters in the 2024 presidential election did NOT vote for Donald Trump?

Trump won. More votes than Harris. End of story.

Who won? Who is POTUS? Answer Trump. Next you'll say the Republicans don't have a majority in the House and the Senate and didn't win the popular vote.

But, was it a landslide, as some of you Trumpettes seem to infer...........?..............😉

 

In fact, it would seem your leader could well be on shaky ground, if a vote tomorrow, he would be out and using his skills he learned at McDonald's, eh............

I suspect that Dinsdale has put on ignore those of us folks who provided unimpeachable factual evidence that Trump did not win the popular vote. Feel free to copy what I and/or others have posted.

Deflection again. Trump has the White House, the majority in the House, the majority in the Senate and won the popular vote. Tell me this is not correct without your usual pivot and emojis. You can't. It's impossible. You only post nonsense, snide remarks, deflections, personal attacks and LOTS of emojis. You always have and always will. Very, very boring.

No personal attack from me. Just pointing out what you do all the time. Again you deflect from my above post so here it is again.  Trump has the White House, the majority in the House, the majority in the Senate and won the popular vote. Tell me this is not correct without your usual pivot and emojis? As I said you cannot answer this without pivoting and you have shown this to be the case. It's very easy. Just say "Yes, you are correct."

Ok then. Trump won the White House, won the House, won the Senate and won the popular vote. All with a majority. This is what I initially said. I'm happy that you have acknoweledged this. In your own way of course.

Please attatch a post where I have personally attacked you. If I have I will apologise. Please bear in mind saying you only make snide remarks and always deflect isn't a personal attack. It's what you do. Oh! And always, always you have to add emojis for some reason. This is an obsevation not a personal attack.

That is not what you initially said. You said of the majority Americans who voted, voted for for Trump. That is factually incorrect.

Trump got the majority of votes in totality. Tell me if this is incorrect and who other than the Republican Party with Trump as it's leader got the majority of votes across the federation. He won because he won the electoral college. He also won the majority of seats in the house, won the majority of seats in the Senate and won the popular vote. What isn't clear about this? That's winning everything and the only way to do this is have the majority of votes in everything up for grabs. This is what happened. No red states flipped blue as I recall but blue states flipped red. Basically the majority of people who voted, voted for Trump. If you have data to disprove this please post it. I know the electoral system in the US isn't straight forward so if I'm wrong I'd value your corrections as long as they're based on real data.

Again, this is factually incorrect. Do the math FFS. D=48.3%, Other party's= 1.85, R=49.8%

If the soldier wears a gas mask on his/her genetalia to breathe then for sure shave it off.

Or this:

Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president. That is the second highest vote total in U.S. history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020. Trump won 3,059,799 more popular votes in 2024 than he won in 2020 and 14,299,293 more than he won in 2016. He now holds the record for the most cumulative popular votes won by any presidential candidate in U.S. history, surpassing Barack Obama. Running three times for the White House obviously helps.

Kamala Harris won 74,999,166 votes or 48.3 percent of the votes cast. That was 6,285,500 fewer popular votes than Biden won in 2020, but 774,847 more than Trump won in 2020.

More than 155 million Americans voted in 2024: 156,302,318 to be exact. That’s the second largest total voter turnout in U.S. history in absolute terms. It is also just the second time that more than 140 million people voted in a presidential election.

Other party. Means nothing in the overall vote. Numbers I see are 49.8%, 48.3% and 1.85%. Which % is the majority. 49.8%, 48.3% or 1.85%? Trump won with a majority vote. Get over it. The voting public in the USA rejected the cackling idiot Harris, rejected 'progressive' left idiology and went with Trump's common sense populist policies. Close the borders and men can't be women were probably two of the big things that resonated with middle America. Obviously Harris being a complete idiot helped..

He won with a plurality of voters. Not a majority of voters. More voters voted for other candidates than voted for him.
