Well, if that gambit is successful it'll be a compelling signal to the United States that our vote counts for nothing and to the entire world that the United States is neither a democratic republic nor a representative government. It will also be the last "election" held here. In short, it'll be a black day.moonshadow wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 4:58 pmIt was regarding the decision of the AG of 17 states in particular (WV and TN being among them) in their move to flat out toss mailed in ballots in 4 key states.
It seems the Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit, that Texas lacked standing to pursue the case.moonshadow wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 4:58 pm I just got off the phone with a very pleasant lady at the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, I called the Tennessee chamber too, but had to leave a message.

The conversation was respectful, and hearing what she had to say gave me pause.
More on that later... tune in tonight!
I think the one that won allowed observers to stand 6 feet away rather than 10 feet away from the vote counting.partlyscot wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:27 am
So that is about 50 of these lawsuits rejected. Some of them by judges appointed by trump. I think one of them succeeded in a minor way, but I'm not sure which one.
I expected the SCOTUS to reject the case, however the damage has been done to the reputation of our electoral system. Now that every possible court, including many Trump appointee judges have REJECTED Trumps claims widespread fraud, will his supporters accept the outcome?partlyscot wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:27 amIt seems the Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit, that Texas lacked standing to pursue the case.moonshadow wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 4:58 pm I just got off the phone with a very pleasant lady at the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, I called the Tennessee chamber too, but had to leave a message.

A lot of people are saying that the Texas AG has some legal issues of his own, and that he might find a pardon useful.. Where might he get one of those?
That's the best news I've heard in a very long time indeed. Perhaps now they will stay out of future elections, unless it's to help clean up the mess at the primary layer.partlyscot wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:27 amIt seems the Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit, that Texas lacked standing to pursue the case.
On no... little Donny isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I still wonder what other tricks he and the totalitarian party [0] (formally known as the "GOP") have up their sleeves?
I'll take it... it's not ideal, but it's better than what we've had to endure these last four years.
The Supreme Court of Toilet Paper?
Yes!!!!!!!!! So very true. Time for the sheep to awaken.crfriend wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 2:37 pmThe Supreme Court of Toilet Paper?
Seriously, though, folks really need to back off and look at the situation from above the trees. The trees aren't the problem, it's that the forest is in the wrong place. Both "parties" represent the same individuals, so everything else that's swirling around is merely for show and to keep folks from cottoning onto the fact that they've been had.
The elites don't care who's in power because they own both "parties"; so idiocy like what we're witnessing has become part of the circus of distraction. And, yes, the place has become more totalitarian -- but that's been in process since 1980, longer than many people have been alive. The world of today is vastly more hard-line than it was fifty years ago, and I don't find it a nice place to live any longer. I am quite thankful I do not have any progeny.
Sh!t covered toilet paper.
Yes, pretty much everyone who voted for him, everyone that lives in Appalachia, 95% of former Republicans (they are more accurately called Totalitarians now, or Trumpians... take your pick, both start with a "T" anyway...), that right wing propaganda machine better known as "NewsMax", I'd say a a handful of members here likely still do too, they're just holding their tongue at the moment, likely because the simple logic and facts of the situation are screaming in their faces. But brainwashed stains don't come out easy, and cults are difficult to break free from...
