Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring nearly nine months at sea on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran.
In a brief exchange with reporters before flying to New York for an event to highlight falling violent crime rates across the U.S., Trump refuted that family members have raised concerns about the deployment’s length and even said that the deployment — which includes a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days — is “not nearly long enough.”
I say this is a former army officer. The military will vote for another Republican as long as that Republican is standing up there mouthing thank the troops bullshit. Fuck Trump fuck everybody that voted for this mother fucker.
“Well yeah this sucks but the Fox News playing 24/7 in the commissary tells me that Democrats want to turn my kids trans so I guess I still have to vote for Republicans”
-95% of the military
The military is more democratic than you think… it leans Republican significantly, but only about 2:1.
Let’s not make the mistake of thinking that once Trump is dead and gone our problems will be over. Trump is an incompetent fool but there are quite a few very smart people behind him now, and there will continue to be these people when he is either dead or out of office that will be doing everything in their power to sustain aspects of this administration they find useful.
True. Very true.
But we’ll never have to hear this low IQ rapist pedo’s dipshit opinions ever again. And that’ll be real nice. Imagine not hearing that flatulent voice anymore. Imagine not seeing his redneck name printed everywhere. Gonna be supreme.
As far as functionally, we may get lucky and see a lot of his cultists refrain from voting in the future cuz the good ol’ days are gone and no one else is living up to their cult leader desires.
Our problems won’t nearly be over, but a dangerous cult leader will be worm food, and that’s a real good thing.
If those people were capable then they’d be in power without a useful idiot like DJT. Once DJT is dead the low IQ morons that plague this country will go back to not participating in elections like they did prior to 2016.
will go back to not participating in elections like they did prior to 2016.
As much as I wish this to be the case - there are too many con-men/women that have seen what trump has done and how much money he as stolen from taxpayers that there will now always be some crazy ass candidate that will try to anger up the stupids to vote for them.
Shoot the swamp america, do yourselves a favour.
I really hope the current military is seeing this, as well as all those vets who have to wear grunt style tshirts everywhere they go and plaster veteran/military decals all over their cars.
he. Does. NOT. Care. About. YOU!
That ship should have sailed when he mocked John McCain, a guy that spent 6 years in a POW camp after being shot down over Vietnam. In a sane world, he’d lose the military vote right then and there, forever.
In a sane world the vets who actually give a shit would have jumped ship when the pedo pissed all over the sanctity of Arlington, and had his people assault an Army employee, for a photo op
It’s a very, very mad world we live in
I really hope the current military is seeing this
There’s a pretty long list of occasions where Trump has insulted the military as a whole as well as individual members of the military and it appears the average military service member either isn’t aware or is neck deep in the cult so Dear Leader is always right.
I don’t think the kind of vets that wear grunt style and have bumper srickers about them being veterans were ever in a position to experience deployment.
Some of you may die but, that’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Donald Trump is a cartoon character who escaped from the silver screen…
Can we please impeach this fuckass alreafy
The Roy Cohn Shuffle: never admit you’re wrong, just keep doubling down.
Doesn’t matter if it’s made an official holiday by the government. The people of this nation (world) are gonna make it a national (international) holiday by sheer force of will.
I’ll celebrate it like Christmas every year. I’ll call in sick every year on the day if I have to.
Fucking up everybody else is a sacrifice he’s willing to do…
Fucking up everybody else is a sacrifice he’s willing to do…
It’s what he has always done.
As long as he thinks he can make a nickel of profit, he will bulldoze right through you.
During COVID, i did 195 days on an out of service cruise ship. The isolation was unreal.
neither will we when we kick his ass out
Unfortunate typo :(
fixed.ugh
Presumably, he will not be running again so not sure you’re going to have to do much to “kick his ass out.”
insane as he is and enamored of him as the legislature is, i wouldnt count on him walking away from it
At this point riding the titanic all way to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean would be a better experience.
Yes Donald, we know.
(ironically he is just like Christ in this regard, who also never apologized about anything, two narcissist peas in a pod. Those fundies know what they like)
Every single one of them that voted for Trump or didn’t vote, got what they deserve. They voted for the leopard eating faces, and now the leopard is on them.
The ones that voted against Trump are the only ones I can really feel sorry for.
Fuck Americans that failed to vote against Trump.Trump is a malignant narcissist, and that was very clear before the election, it was also clear before he was elected the first time.
If you want a malignant narcissist as leader of your country, you are not right in the head.There’s no way they could have known. It’s not like he had a history going back into the 70s and 60s of being a… oh, yeah. He did.
You know the joke in Back to the Future where Marty tells Doc the President is Reagan, and he says incredulously, “What? The actor?” Well, imagine going back to any point in the latter 20th century and telling someone that Trump will be President. Anyone would laugh, no matter what party affiliation. Seems we all had standards back then, even if they were still low.
The reason is simply because he’s the perfect tool that the Southern Strategy dreamed of. They never had an idea it would work so well.
Spy magazine back in the '80s used to have an annual “10 worst people, places and things” issue. Trump always made the list, although it was more of an NYC-centric thing. Each listee always had a “mitigating factors” item and Trump’s was always “at least he’s not in politics”. :(
My favorite bit from back then was that Trump once offered to pay for the funeral of a child who had been killed by a bear, and then reneged on the offer.
They knew Trump was a scumbag back when they made Back to the Future 2! You think this…
…was a coincidence?!
The DNC pretty much handed him 2016, and Biden handed him 2024.
The two parties are both trash, and the citizens just rolling over and taking it up the ass, doesn’t help.
Trump still lost the majority the first time and got under 50% the second time. USA’s insane election system caused much of it, as well as a failure of the campaigns to account for how it would play out in the uncertain states.
2024 was much more a media propaganda problem, although I agree they didn’t do enough to push back. They could’ve used the presidency to force the message to be delivered along with evidence of Trump’s corruption and they decided to “play nice” against the cheater
Hell, the Simpsons made fun of the idea.
There’s no way they could have known.
They couldn’t have known an obvious malignant narcissist would behave like a malignant narcissist? Is that really your claim?
For that to be true, you’d have to be so stupid you wouldn’t be able to find the polling station either.Edit:
It doesn’t change anything that he quotes a movie, he picked that quote to make that point. And it is simply wrong.Well, yes, people can be that stupid. Also, how did you read all of what I posted and not realize it was sarcasm? Or did you see the first few words and rage post?
You’re going to need this.
Yeah, maybe you were right. Good lord.
Yeah, when I saw “I don’t even know what Southern Strategy means” I knew you were in for a ride.
Not for the first replies. But if they double down, then sure, let them have their “victory”. The chain of messages tells the real story.
No you have to agree with the psychopath to not be able to see it, and if you agree, you are no better yourself.
Only a psychopath don’t recognize a psychopath. And Malignant Narcissist is the worst kind of Psychopath there is.Also it doesn’t look like sarcasm to me, quoting a movie is not sarcasm.
And Reagan is irrelevant to American voters voting for an obvious psychopath. For instance the situation with Russia was completely different. And Reagan actually had coherent policies.
Also Emmett Browns surprise is acting. It is not real.And Reagan actually had coherent policies.
Not really, he was more amenable than Trump is to having handlers. And the policies he implemented caused lasting damage to the American system and to its people. For example, trickle-down economics was utter incoherent evidence-free bullshit that happened to make the rich richer at the expense of everyone else. Reagan was not too bright and had an utter lack of curiosity, was a racist homophobe, and was quite happy to be a pitchman. He was also a shameless liar, though not to Trump’s pathological extent.
Trickle down economics were not incoherent, they were a lie. Reagan did not change policy every other week like Trump does.
I do not agree with Reagans policies, but it was far more than just listening more to his advisors, it was also choosing advisors that were actually capable.
So I maintain that Reagans policies were definitely way way more coherent AND consistent than what we see with Trump. And his strategy to pressure Soviet Union actually worked, Soviet Union collapsed because they couldn’t keep up, and their attempt to do it, collapsed their economy.Reagan also didn’t ruin relations with allies, but he did introduce a lot of policies that are bad for the middle and especially lower income brackets.
You should look it up. It will make you realize how deep this goes. Can’t help you with the rest, it was pretty clear, unless you also don’t understand the movie reference. Which is entirely possible, it’s amazing how many memes are shared by people these days who are clueless on the origins. A true loss.
Edit:
Yes I know the movie, I just don’t see how it’s relevant. You quoted that because you mean it.There’s no way they could have known
I doesn’t change anything that you are quoting a movie where the statement may have been correct.
In the context you use it here it is simply wrong.
In general it takes a psychopath to not detect an obvious psychopath consistently behaving like a psychopath, that’s a fact.I’m sorry that you missed many levels of understanding my original post. I wish you could have just asked for clarification instead of the diatribe of anger. Might have made you appreciate the meaning. You seem to have some issues understanding others in this message thread too. Maybe step back a second and take a breath.
Did you just stop reading that comment after the first sentence?
Historically it always turns out well when you alienate the military.
