rump calling the troops suckers and losers has come back to haunt him as Joe Biden won 4 out of 5 military ballots in Allegheny County, PA.

The military may not love Trump:

1. What people in the know on this

Have told me is that the majority of the military hates chump.

Understandably.

[BusyBeingBest]

2. I'm heartened to hear that. Not just for the count, but

for their support for Joe or dismissal of Trump.

[Karadeniz]

3. Unbelievable! That should have been the popular vote ratio. I'm proud of those voters!

[In It to Win It]

12. "That should have been the popular vote ratio"... Ain't that the truth!

[crickets]

15. +1

[Sanity Claws]

4. Really makes you wonder about the voting done on machines

[DENVERPOPS]

28. Good call SC NC

33. I don't know about anyone else. But I was working in the IT world before retirement.....

..... and I couldn't believe how quickly they geared up every state to vote electronically.

Those of us that worked in the industry knew how easy it was to hack any computer back then. Especially ones that get last-minute "updates" via USB devices by "company" employees just days before the election. WITHOUT the election officials knowing what and why the update now. Ohio 2020?

Anyone that owns an electronic device should know from experience UPDATES are not always clean free of errors and bugs and early adopters are simply beta testing the updates to likely find the bugs.

I NEVER jump to update any system for electronic devices I own. My smartphone has been telling me for weeks there is a new system update. I ignore it unless it's a well know security patch for a known flaw in the currently installed version.

Back in 2000 I always felt the hanging chads were and EXCUSE to go electronic. Hacking remotely became an instant problem. Proprietory owned equipment should have sent up red flags everywhere.

35. +1000

5. .

Thank you, heroes.

[madaboutharry]

6. That is what happens when you call people

“Suckers” and “Losers.”

[spanone]

7. Ya know, when you call dead soldiers 'Suckers & Losers' you might lose some votes

[LizBeth]

8. I am really pleasantly surprised by this.

[soothsayer]

9. Same!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. Wow! I didn't expect that, but I'm pleased!

The military so often votes Republican, I figured it would mostly continue despite Trump's disdain for them.

[Roland99]

11. One of my daughters is in the Army. She and her circle do NOT care for trump

but that's mostly her female friends...but we don't really discuss political support she sees there much

[malaise]

13. Killa Con called them losers and suckers

He is paying now

[yellowcanine]

14. I guess they don't like to be called "losers and suckers."

[frazzled]

16. Obviously, these are the losers and suckers

I mean what else could explain it?

[Withywindle]

17. Remember when he wanted to keep disabled vets out of parades

because "nobody wants to see that"?


Guess what, LOSER, nobody wants to see you!

[chowder66]

18. I was just thinking about this moments ago. It would be interesting to compare military votes

stateside vs overseas.

[Mme. Defarge]

19. Tweet has been deleted?

[Roland99]

26. updated w/new link. not sure why it was deleted?

[appalachiablue]

20. Beau Biden's military service

[C Moon]

21. I was the 46th like for this! :)

[Roland99]

22. You were just ... bidin' your time??

[C Moon]

24. HA HA HA!

Harris to you!

[Roland99]

27. ...

[zentrum]

23. Tweet unavailable message.

Just got it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. Yes, combo of 1) trump calling them losers, 2) military makeup

is growing with poc and 3) votes may include citizens overseas who are living in countries who think "WTF America?"

[ailsagirl]

29. That was an ignorant and destructive comment he made about the military

Damn! That serves the imbecile right.

[orleans]

30. he corrected the tweet -- it's not all military ballots

Link to tweet

I have deleted this tweet because it was not completely accurate. I was corrected that this specific batch included both damaged and military ballots, but was not all military ballots.

The split remains 4:1 for this batch, but it would be false to say all of them were military.

[ooky]

31. His treatment of Vindman, McCain, come to mind.

[former9thward]

32. Of course there is no source for this.

Who is Travis Akers?

[BootinUp]

34. very exciting news
