Other than after 9/11 when we were lied to about the war, Republicans haven't won the popular vote in my lifetime.
They've also never won with anyone who isn't Trump in 20 years.
Highest unemployment during his term since the great depression
He was president during covid so no shit.
He was president during covid so no shit.
The tone-deafness of this reply is pretty ridiculous considering how badly he fucked up. He disbanded the team who was supposed to respond to this disaster, denied it was a big deal, told people not to vaccinate when he got the shot, and politicized a public health issue unnecessarily.
It is estimated hundred of thousands of less deaths would have happened if Trump had just done his job and not spent his time grandstanding and demonizing public health officials. To put that in perspective, that is more US deaths than every single conflict since WWII combined.
So yeah, when you are purposely killing hundreds of thousands of Americans while hand waving it away like it is no big deal you get to own that. The reason unemployment was so bad was because of Trump not COVID.
To top it off, the Biden administration turned it all around and showed us how much of a dysfunctional shit show the previous administration was. To this day places that drank the Trump Kool aid still have higher deaths rates.
Name fits.
Right, he did everything he could, from telling people to drink bleach, and telling people not to get vaccinated, to refusing to wear masks, to vilifying the experts in charge of managing the pandemic. It's like, what else can the guy do? Seriously, I'm really worried about what else he might do.
Just hope he makes a repeat performance on that last point
Unfortunately losing the popular vote doesn't mean he loses the election. Here's to hoping he loses both.
He is 100% guaranteed to lose the popular vote by millions. Unfortunately, that doesn't determine whether he wins the election.
Don't forget the smallest inaugural crowds!
I just don't get this. Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate? 🤔 With that logic, if Trump quits now he is again forgiven as the oldest one? So, whole this news would be bullshit?
Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.
That's why reporters would say " presumptive nominee"
The best kind of true.
Thanks 4 the info, now I get it 😆 American poliitics r beautiful 🤯
Trump was officially nominated by the RNC as their candidate. Biden hadn't been nominated by the DNC yet, that was supposed to happen at the conference in a couple weeks. But now that he has pulled out, he will not be nominated and thus not be the official candidate.
Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate?
Correct. If I won Beauty Queen last year and stated my intention to run again this year, but then withdrew before I officially entered, you can't say I won. You also can't say I lost, I never actually entered.
The difference is the RNC already had their convention. Trump is their official Nominee, no matter what else happens...
Just Trump again giving unwelcome kisses to his stage partner, but when women accuse him of the same thing conservatives don't believe it. He's showing you who he is.
He sure grabbed that flag by the pole.
Impeached TWICE? HOW?!
Impeachment is not the same as being removed from office. It is the first step to the process however. Impeachment is the bringing of charges against an official in office. Once charges are brought, a trial must be held on the Senate with the Chief Supreme Court Justice presiding. If the trial ends in a conviction, the result is removal from office. However, the Chief Justice for nearly the past 20 years is a staunchly conservative man appointed by the 2nd bush administration in 2005.
Impeachment was never really a threat to Trump while in office. Just a way for Congress to tell the president that they know the bad shit he's doing and they don't like it. As long as the supreme court remains absolutely stacked with conservative appointees, there will never be a removal of office of a favored Republican president.

Political and depressing comment ahead, skip if you are just here for the laughs
Tap for spoiler
And if you let him he will be the person who have killed more Americans with his civil war.
pretty sure other people have been convicted of crimes before. he is fantastically old though. maybe he got sent to juvie back in his childhood hometown of Bedrock and was the first convicted criminal!

name one.
Technically, President Grant got pulled over, and taken into custody, in 1872 for "speeding on a horse within the city limits of Washington DC." It was the third such ticket he was given in his life, the first two being in the early part of the 1860s when he was just a General. The cop tried to let him go, and Grant cited section 1983 of the federal code that had been passed a few months previously in 1871 that stated unequivocally that no one is above the law, not even a sitting president.
There was a socialist candidate for president Eugene V. Debs, running from a prison cell in 1920
Hold my beer.
Jajajajaja "laughs in Argentina Cristina Ladrona de Kirschner"
The leftists should just stop pretending, write a Bible, and start worshipping whoever tells them they are special
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being Inconsequential and 10 being Paramount, how important is hierarchy to the healthy functioning of a group?
OLDEST candidate, rofl!
Age doesn't matter. Mental cognition does.
Convicted criminal
Yeah, by the deep state using the rigged courts.
Worst deficit
Yeah, maybe. But he freed up the economy by approving a record number of drilling contracts, and basically telling the world "America is open for business." Had this modus operandi continued, we could have even prospered our way out of the negative consequences of the spending.
Twice impeached
Again, by the deep state using the radicals in congress. Crazy people hate you? What an accolade that is.
Hated by most Americans
Let's see, Obama got 69M votes in 2008. Trump got 74M votes in 2020. Saying "most hated" really misses the point here.
Lost the popular vote
On paper...
Caught a live one
Lost the popular vote
On paper...
Yeah, how else?
Lmao
Isn't biden older though?
Edit: holy damn. wasnt criticizing or trying to point out ANYONE's age, I really dgaf whos older or by how much in terms of election. I was just asking a simple question
Biden stepped down before getting the official nomination. Trump was nominated by his party last week. That makes Trump officially the oldest candidate nominated by a political party.
How was your 48-hour nap?
He's not a candidate in this election, and Trump is older now than Biden was during the last election.
For those who struggle with math, that means that Biden is less than 4 years older than trump. The people criticizing Biden's age and not trump's as well never actually gave a shit about Biden's age. Look forward to those same people making up bullshit reasons that Harris is less capable than trump. They know they're full of shit, but it's not about making sense, it's about trying to obfuscate what's pretty clear so that independents and undecideds give up, get frustrated, get confused, and/or get demotivated so that they either stay home or vote 3rd party. There are only two viable parties in this bullshit first past the post system; one of them wants Project 2025 and one of them doesn't. Look at bullet points for what that is and then get your ass to the polls. It's that simple. The only people trying to convince you that it's not that simple are the ones who don't want you to look at those bullet points because it's pretty obvious whether most people are for or against that playbook. It's damning.
this one does require a "small" amount of "critical thinking"
