2024 Presidential Race

Yep! And @hog88 and I both already brought that up! But somehow the very continued existence of Democracy hangs on my vote in Texas for anybody other than the GOP candidate 🤷‍♂️
Sorry. I’m just catching up to things in here. I love the 3rd party votes. I have a friend that had a dirty campaign run against him in a primary for a state seat here in West TN. He lost. I refuse to vote for his opponent that is basically going to be running against a socialist. I write in my friends name every election.

I know it doesn’t matter but it makes me feel good.

You know I’ve read you screeching at me for several posts now. I’ve told you I’m completely comfortable with my choice. And I’m gonna go ahead and point back and say you damn sure sound more like you’re trying to convince yourself than you are me at this point. I’ve made it pretty damn clear since we started this exchange I won’t vote for either one of them. So at this point who the hell are you really talking to, my dude?
Convince myself? Laughable.
Just trying to understand your logic, or lack thereof.
But whatever.

Yep that’s what I said. Convince yourself. In this exchange it seems I’m the only one voting for someone and not bargaining with myself to vote against the other candidate.

Or are you actually voting FOR Trump? From your posts it doesn’t seem that way but if you are fine. And if you are I’m not going to try and pin you down on why or try to change your mind.
 
If you live in TN or any other red state it doesn’t matter who you vote for. If you live in a blue state it doesn’t matter who you vote for.

The swing states are where it matters.

Yes, there is where people have to suck it up to keep leftist radicals out of the oval office. I do think positive vibes are helpful before and on election day.

Edit: as Hog points out later I was confused (and I was indeed confused) Walz was rolled back to E-8 which is Master Sergeant from E-9 Sergeant Major.

Ok so I need to correct my own error also. Walz was and retired as a Sergeant Major. He was rolled back from Command Sergeant Major. Both if those are E-9 and it’s a role variance. For E-9 it goes.

Sergeant Major
Command Sergeant Major
Sergeant Major of the Army (there is only one)

The final role is the highest ranking enlisted singular individual in the US Army.
Correct, he was not recognized federally as an E-9 and therefore will receive E-8 retirement pay. Retirement paperwork will reflect E8 but the state recognized him as an E9 as his position was a CSM upon release. Active Duty is different as for years in the Late 80s some ranking officers were given a chance to retire or continue to serve as an E6 vs the O6 rank once held.
Waltz was Frocked into the position of CSM. (Frocking)

This is what I got in my inbox just a few days ago. I just ignored it. There was more to the link but I deleted it in case it is somehow tied to my phone as an algorithm.

-----------
Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz for VP! Help us boost turnout for Kamala now, donations are 500% MATCHED!

“When Walz left the Guard, he had achieved the rank of command sergeant major, but he was reduced in rank months after retiring, leaving him as a master sergeant.”

Why would somebody lose rank after retiring?


Wrong. Don't really care who said it but the quote above is wrong. He achieved his E9 rank with a caveat of which he did not achieve the Educational requirements to meet the minimum standards to hold the rank or position. He retired an E8 that held a E9 rank but was only recognized by the state as an E9 but not the Federal government. Clearly stated in the ARs and NGRs. He held an E9 position and wore the rank but never was federally recognized as an E9 and never was officially promoted. State TAGs and the Chief have the leadway to promote but with Caveats.
 
As President, I vow to shrink the federal government and return more power to the states. Less money will be sent overseas, and if possible, I'll make it no money will be sent overseas. And every Friday will be free ice cream day.


I'll save my plans of conquest for my second term.
Free ice cream day? Just another big spender who simps for the Ice Cream Industrial Complex

I don’t mind to run to CVS and buy you a box, my guy.

I’ll maintain threads about how great the ratings are for his favorite cable news shows. We’ll wear T-shirts that say “I’d rather be a Chinese communist than a Republican.” I’ll excoriate all of his political opponents as child pornographers who murder their subordinates, roast infants on a spit, and suck the marrow from their charred bones to maintain their youthful appearance. I’ll call them my enemies and celebrate their losses more than Walz’s victories.
I’ll insist that everybody just has to believe him when he forgets he knows the authors of our communist platform, named Operation 2029.
I’ll shrug when he convinces his followers that Christians are disproportionately pedophiles and try to make it illegal to take kids to church because “why do you support kids getting fondled by some boomer in a frock, you monster?!?!”
I’ll defend efforts to ban books from public libraries that might influence kids to be straight because, “why do you support sexualizing children, you monster?!”
I’ll laugh at others for having voted for anybody else and pretend that’s discrediting (before turning them in to the secret police, of course).

Then, suddenly, I’ll pretend to not really like the guy and ask everyone to accept my complaints that 2028 Republican Candidate Sarah Huckabee Sanders isn’t fit to be president because, like her makeup, she prefers just a shade too much government for my taste and, oh by the way, her troubled cousin Matilda only tracked 3 weight watchers points for an ice cream sundae in 1999, according to some sketchily sourced records.

Then I’ll cry about how it’s a conspiracy that everybody suddenly started calling me weird.
Damn dude, snort another line
 
Oh I’m tired of the emotion crap claim appeal too. I keep seeing that rationalization cross my FB feed. Both candidates demonstratedly suck huge hairy gorilla balls. I don’t see how anyone “smart” could look at either offering and vote for either one of them.
You referring again to Trump’s helicopter ride?
 
LOL, whatever man. You want to beat up on a guy who served for two and half decades and then Monday morning quarterback the way in which he decided to retire, go for it. It demonstrates to anyone that's paying attention that you're desperate to find something wrong with the guy. Beating up on a 24-year vet that decided to separate to start a new chapter instead of going Afghanistan is a loser. The only thing Donny and the weirdo should be saying to any career vet is "thank you for your service" and then shutting the f*** up.

Absolutely wreaks of desperation but plays into the political BS handbook, take a positive and nitpick it into a negative.

Lol. Working one weekend a month and jumping ship when it was time to actually serve deserves all the criticism it gets. You can appreciate that someone did actually serve but by no means do you have to weigh everyone’s service the same. Where did you serve?
 
In his presser yesterday when asked about the Kamala - Willie Brown connection, Trump mentioned he and Willie nearly “went down” in a helicopter together.
Hadn’t heard that I’ll go google it. I absolutely believe Willie and the orange one have known each other a long time. I want to say I remember Willie stating he got Trump to make a good sized donation to one of Harris’s campaigns.
