    Well to be very clear I think any overturning of the election would be extremely unlikely.

    I do, however, believe the SCOTUS will rule those states acted unconstitutionally. Unfortunately all that their remedy will entail is fixing it for the future. So you’re probably safe.

    I’m just presenting the argument that I think is the most plausible for a W and want to make it very clear that the chance of an overturn is NOT zero.

    I can agree with that, but I don't worry about getting struck by lightening.

    Why have the courts thrown out 99% of all election challenges filed on behalf of Trump? Could it be that the courts have found no merit to the allegations made?

    There has already been a recount in parts of Wisconson & two recounts in Georgia. Neither showed any evidence of fraud and neother shifted many votes. Despite that Trumpers are still claiming thay 'saw' double counting in Georgia - something the recounts would have picked up. Tells you something about the validity of their claims and it tells oyu something tha tthey completely ignore the recounts & continue to claim fraud.

    The truth is that they will never accept the result. This is the QAnon party now. It thrives on mutually reinforcing conspiracy theories & an invented sense of victimhood. No matter what is done to satisfy them they will just put up more hurdles because the ydon't care about the process, only the result. If Trump lost it must be fraud. That is their perverted, sick reality and they simply can't let it go.

    Yup. He is basically doing now wha the planned to do then if he lost....but now the cult is larger and he is President. Not a single piece of 'evidence' has survived close examination, but the cultists continue to treat every single lie as a fact and those not in the cult seem unwilling to stand up to them.

    Anyone paying attention has seen it, ever hear of some guy named George Floyd? Who the hell do you think was doing 99% of the rioting, looting and burning? Humor me.

    When did blatant group insults become OK here? Want to see a cult? (I'll bet you can spin some excuse for it)

    Before I started posting. You don't seem to have an issue with group insults directed at Democrats, 'the left' or certain religious, ethnic & racial groups. Don't worry, no one expects you to hold right wingers to any sort of standards.

    Really? School kids singing a stupid song about the first black President for Black History Month? Sure, lets compare that to tens of millions of people literally believing every Trump lie and giving him hundreds of millions of dollars on the basis of that. Absolutely identical.

    And then there is someone religious - a child no less - doing something bizarre. Got news for you, I stopped holding religious people to any comprehensible standard of normal behaviour about he same age I realized that invisible friends, Santa, the Easter Bunny & Tooth Fairy weren't real. In other words, by the time I started puberty. Believing in stuff that isn't there is already a pretty big leap off the reality cliff, so praying to a President is pretty small change by that standard.

    If you want to use this to argue that religious indoctrination of children is tanatamount to child abuse then sign me up. Leave the kids alone. If people want to believe in metaphysical beings or pray to Presidents as adults then go for it. Of course, once you stop brainwashing childen that invisible entities exist religions will soon collapse, so I'm betting you aren't keen on that.

    Now, if children being instructed by religious adults to worship politicians and babble incoherently is cult behaviour, then the GOP was laying the groundwork for the Trump cult back when Bush was President. I can only imagine how much damage was done to the minds of these poor kids, who are now old enough to vote:



    And if religious people - in this case adults - doing bizarre stuff is proof of a cult then Trump has Obama beat by a mile. Here we have one of Trump's spiritual advisors babbling incoherently and whipping the cultists into a frenzy. Classic cult behaviour:



    ....and here we have more Trump culters worshipping Trump and babbling incoherently outside a Nevada polling place:





    Of course, people who are in a cult never think they are, but it is only necessary to witness the past month to see how clear it is.

    I guess you cant spot the subtle difference between praying FOR VS praying TO.

    Funny you excuse REAL cult behavior. Funny how Obama's pastor was all about *******n America but that was fitting. And you are right, though I dont use group insults, I could care less about them. Just want to see even standards here, I cant slide by with group insults, wrong team.

    Nobody is trying to stop him having his day on court. He’s had dozens and lost them all. Can you answer the question:

    So you support letting trump have his day in court - and then respecting the outcome. Yes?

    This case isn’t about evidence but about constitutional issues.

    Own it. Your fuhrer is trying to get 20 million votes thrown out so he can claim that only people who voted in person are legitimate. (but only in four states)

    Having lost the election soundly, he’s trying to pick the correct votes so he can declare himself the winner.

    Meanwhile, he incites his mob.

    And he’s now arguing for federal regulation of local elections.

    And he has crackpot lawyers making the exact opposite argument from the one GOP lawyers traditionally make when they’re forced to try and defend voter supression efforts.

    That is simply an absurd presentation of facts. Why should we believe your side didn’t cheat just because you say you didn’t? Without an open and transparent recount with signature verification, which you’re refusing to do for some odd reason, all you’re doing is expecting us to take the word of the very people we are accusing of cheating in the first place.

    Former congresswoman Michele Bachmann has a personal request for God: “Lord, would you allow Donald Trump to have a second term as president of the United States.”

    Lmao!

    There ISN'T going to be any sort of Recount (with "signature verification").

    The EC Votes in 3 Days. It is time for Trump to get real.

    The 2020 Election is OVER. Biden Won and TRUMP LOST.

    Anybody who doesn't like the outcome is free to pursue the standard remedy.

    Plan the strategy for 2024.

    Nothing (repeat NOTHING) is going to happen that WILL reverse the outcome of a Biden Victory.


    It is Over.

    Trump's continuing effort to embarrass Himself by filing frivolous BS "lawsuits", is a Disgrace to the Office and makes Trump Even MORE of an IMBECILIC Laughingstock.

    Trump LOST. He needs to accept that and move on.

    You called my post absurd, without refuting it or even addressing it.

    Indeed, you referred to it as a presentation of the facts, which it is. Facts you can’t deny.

    The states have certified the elections. Every single one of Trump’s frivolous stunts has fallen flat.

    He is owed no special consideration at this point.

    The emperor has no clothes.

    On what basis do you suppose that Trump can. orchestrate that a front man in Texas serve as proxy to an argument that the Supreme Court should order “recount with signature verification” in four states, but not the other 46?

    On what basis do you suppose that the State of Texas should be going to court to question the way elections are run in other states? Where is their standing?

    The Texas "Filing" is going to get laughed out of court.
    ^And, everybody knows that.

    All of the recounts have been finished and relevant Electors certified.

    The EC votes in 3 Days, Biden WON.

    At this point:

    IF Trump actually thinks the "recounts with signature verification" are possible...
    THEN, he might as well be looking for "Verification" of Bigfoot and the Roswell Aliens.

    Trump would have an exponentially better chance of actually being taken seriously if he chose to pursue something more realistic:
    Like the origins of Bigfoot.

    Did you mean threatening like Portland, Oregon peaceful protest threatening? Or did you mean more severe, like launching nukes or something like that?

    It has been the liberal left that works the extremes of this nation!
