@hondo, nope, the majority of American people did not vote for Trump. But, just as I understand that a trump supporter would blame the fires in LA on LGBTQ and the plane crash on DEI, I understand why a trump supporter would say that the majority of American people elected trump.
You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.
<Perhaps you should pay attention to your own above statement about your own facts. Every report I have seen says Trump won the popular vote and every state, including the swing states. Maybe you are counting the people who did not vote. /blockquote

Hey Troll,
You are as dumb as BS1000.
You said:
"The majority of American people elected Trump."
I replied:
"nope, the majority of American people did not vote for Trump."
MAGA boy, you need to learn the difference between a majority and a plurality.
As of Friday evening, the Acting US Attorney for Washington, D.C., fired about 30 US Attorneys who prosecuted January 6 insurrectionists. See Politico, DOJ fires dozens of prosecutors who handled Jan. 6 cases. Think about that for a moment: The convicted felons who attacked the Capitol have been pardoned and the loyal servants of the Constitution who prosecuted them have been fired. That fact should outrage every American. (Posted elsewhere in here, too.:) https://roberthubbell.substack.com/p/call-it-by-its-name-a-coup?r=y0bp&triedRedirect=true
Musk Says DOGE Halting Treasury Payments to US Contractors
Elon Musk said his “DOGE team” of government efficiency enforcers is shutting down some payments to federal contractors, suggesting that the world’s richest man may have access to sensitive systems used at the US Treasury Department.
Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American (Feb. 2, 2025)
"Today Ellen Knickmeyer of the Associated Press reported that yesterday two top security officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) tried to stop people associated with Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, from accessing classified information they did not have security clearance to see. The Trump administration put the officials on leave, and the DOGE team gained access to the information."
"After Musk’s team breached the USAID computers, cybersecurity specialist Matthew Garrett posted: 'Random computers being plugged into federal networks is obviously terrifying in terms of what data they're deliberately accessing, but it's also terrifying because it implies controls are being disabled—unmanaged systems should never have access to this data. Who else has access to those systems?'”
We are, as has been said repeatedly here, living through a coup. I've heard that lawyers will be working overtime to stop it. But that takes time. And someone else told me: you have to be savvy enough to know where, before which judge, to lodge a suit.
But this junk is happening so quickly! Will the conflict have to swiftly switch gears and become "extra-institutional?" In order to stop the Orange Lawless scumpigs? Too much has already happened and been put at risk. This is no Administration. This is an illegal takeover of the government.

(We all knew what she meant.)
EXIT the MAGAts.
It's our country was we now know it!
May I suggest you get down to your local community college and take a remedial American government class.
