Trump is the President

Also those women made sworn statements which for you is enough to stop the election of Biden, their statements were not found to be false, but not enough to warrant further action.

For you because some one said it as it pertains to this election it is evidence and because it is a sworn statement must be true and the court must accept it as so.

But in the very same situation with Kavanugh you don't want the same standard to apply? The made sworn statements not acted on by the Police, prosecutors courts et al.

So either Troll as Pete says or you have bigger issues in life

 

At least one of the women admitted that she made it up because she didn't want Roe v Wade to be overturned though

But the courts at many levels did not find their evidence compelling. Your beliefs are your own and no one can take those away from you.

But do you believe that the judiciary at all levels in the USA including Kavanaugh are wrong and also do you accept that it does matter what you believe as they well as Judge Dread says "I am the law"

Anyway back to your comparison of a guy who played the president asking the electoral college to do something, versus the actual president doing so along with a bunch of other great stuff, which you have ignored.

I believe the PA supreme court were wrong.  The US supreme court didn't do anything about it because of the principles of federalism, which I support

And anything which weakens the electoral college is unconstitutional, regardless of who proposes it

[IronJimbo 1,419]

BTW, do you have a link for Trump's equivalent lobbying of the electoral college that isn't hidden behind a paywall?

For me , it's never been about Left or Right. It's been about Trump, the man.

I truly hate him! He is evil personified as far as I'm concerned. I don't find him " entertaining" , he is the end of the world as we know it. I hope he ends up in jail for tax evasion, or taking bribes for granting pardons or whatever. I just want him gone.

So if that's the end. Cheers.😉👍

This is pretty much me. I find it scary that a fool can be left in charge of the worlds economy and that many arms.
I do find it interesting how much people invest in another countries politics, I may understand if you were an expat or had spent a lot of your life there but as far as I know jimbo  hasn’t even visited the US. 
That’s just a bit weird.

I don't need to "justify" hating Trump.

I don't "hate" Scomo, I just don't believe in the politics of his government.

I don't " love" Biden. But I hope he can dig the US out of the abyss that Trump has left him because the world needs the US to stop being so isolated if China is going to be reeled in.

I neither love nor hate you, and we are never likely to meet.😃

Trump has clearly demonstrated over the past month that ALL he cares about is his own absolute power. Corana virus...wtf is that, don't interrupt me while I'm talking about how I won my dictatorship for life ( "some call it an election.. but I don't believe in those... they're rigged.. I just call up my minion governors and tell them what the Electoral College needs to do.")

His attitude to women is an easy way to justify not liking him. . 
Would make it pretty hard for any decent thinking human to worship him.

"What I find interesting are the lengths that people will go to in order to justify hating someone they are never likely to meet"

A few have said they don't like Trump. For most of us, whether it was Niseko, AP or a few others it was not their belief or what they liked, the behaviour is the issue.

Dismissal of facts, evidence, science.

Being contrary for the sake of it

Not accepting rule of law

Massive hubris

Anyhow, this has about one more month to play out and as observed above has been instructive to watch the lengths people will go to in defending a belief irrespective of the evidence or the actual rulings of courts.

I’d sorta hope the mainstream media might just ignore him once February arrives.  
 

the clickbait ones will follow him, but I’d suspect the rest might just need a break from the constant lies and no answers. 
 

until of course he is charged with heap of things to try and get him and his family locked up. 
 

mind you, I believe you can still be president with a criminal record so he may just sit in jail for a short time and then get elected in 2024. Which if he runs, I believe he will win in a landslide.

Curious, why do you think that? He has just lost an election to Biden, who is not exactly inspiring. What do you think will make him attract more votes next time? Or do you think he will get the same number of votes and those who voted for Biden won't be stuffed showing up next time?

I have zero doubt his supporters would vote as many times as they could and to do exactly what they think the Democrats have done.  Which I’m sure some Democrats did, but not the 100,000 they think. 
 

and the ones that didn’t vote will also come out and vote. 
 

and I’d also think, that the people that don’t believe Biden would have done a good job will also swing back. 
 

the only votes trump will lose are the ones that think the vaccine is fake and die in the next 4 years

Quote

Come 12:01 pm on 20 January 2021, Trump loses immunity and becomes fair game for prosecutors. Already, Cyrus Vance, Manhattan’s district attorney, is eagerly circling Trump and his business. As for the southern district of New York, they have already labeled Trump an unindicted co-conspirator.

Depends on whether he can get a tee-off time that coincides with the ceremony.

[CharlieB1981 34]

100% he will not attend, and you can count on him having a campaign rally on the same day to take some attention away from it as a form of protest. 

[goughy 3,736]

The only people that will be watching and attending a Trump rally on inauguration day wouldn't have any interest in the inauguration anyway.

He might just sit at his desk in the White House right up to the last second signing presidential pardons and execution orders.

Oh dear, after the positions you have taken for a number of years, with levels of smugness not seen since Yo Yo went under 10 hours, lighten up.

This was hardly my taking an intentionally committed fallacy, it was me ridiculing the position taking a week or so ago by you around the electoral college.

It is part of the system to object and the Dems did make a number of objections, more to make a point than turn the result. Unlike now where the GOP are in large numbers attempting to use the archaic institution to subvert the will of the people.

Even now in the face of the side you appear to advocate for willfully not accepting the rule of law, acts as determined by the Judiciary and every other level of public official, a POTUS personally pressuring governors and electoral officials to change their results, you make it about the dems, rather than those who are actually undertaking the afore mentioned items.

They are most definitely  not false as you ignored the GOP plans for jan 6 which have been well publicized.

Easily outdone by the four years of crying by the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself)
