US Election

Any news, Mr Casual? (I believe it's gone midnight in Washington?)

 

Yes!!! I've taken it over the century of pages!

 

Are you sure that's right? I know Obama pardoned more than most and, until recently anyway, Trump fewer than most. But the amount you have suggested from Obama is a lot more than I remember reading in the article.

 

Because commuting the sentences of hundreds of young black men jailed by white judges for possession of drugs is directly comparable to pardoning your mate who committed treason on your behalf or murdering children whilst in your mates employ.

Just 2 sides of the same coin

 

The article I read was only concerned with pardons which is why I questioned you.

 

We’d need someone far cleverer than I to break down the post you wrote and the one I did to ascertain whether I shared an opinion or bashed anyone worse than you did.

As I see it, you offered a fact that could have been construed as an attack on Obama for being ‘worse’ than Trump (as Trumps pardons were being discussed).

The stat you quoted was clearly misleading in that context (again in my opinion). Whether it was purposely misleading or not, only you know.

But my point - that Trumps pardons and Obama’s clemency are not at all comparable stands.

 

It’s baffling isn’t it.

When you ‘offer an opinion’ it should be read as being completely neutral and not to be making any point at all.

But if someone responds to your posts in any way other that just agreeing with it, then they are clearly ‘bashing’ you!

sorry pal, but if debate has died it’s because people can’t cope with being disagreed with.

 

Well Mr Orsenkaht..... I did say I thought there would be twists and turns in the tale, didn't I?

It appears that Mr Pence didn't write to request the clean slates of Electors from the six battleground States yesterday after all and is now being sued by the State Legislatures and several State Voter Alliances for failing in his official duties under the US Constitution. I gather that the Legislatures have formally instructed Mr Pence to remove the Electoral College votes relating to the contested States from the count.

I'm not an expert on the intricacies of the US Constitution and I haven't bothered reading the full legal document that was filed so I can't say whether that is how things will play out or not. I'm just passing on what I've heard. I've put a link below in case you want to check it out for yourself though.

Cue barnsleyreds telling me that it doesn't work like that.

I'll be interested to see what new developments come up over the Christmas holidays.

 

Nor am I, but I strongly suspect that rather like the State of Texts case, the state legislatures will be advised that they have no locus standi in the matter. The wriggling is looking more desperate, and clearly Pence wasn't up for it. His thoughts may have been on his own chances of securing the nomination in 2024 - especially if his boss is in jail! (Actually, that might be Trump's best chance of a pardon!)

 

Well you've got a perfect record of being wrong so far

 

I've got no problem with being wrong a few times along the way as long as I'm right in the end when it matters.

 

At what point will you stop believing a new path for victory from nonsense sources and accept that all the smoking guns, all the dead certs, everything you parrot has turned out to be false so far, you should maybe stop digging?

 

Perhaps on the 6th or 20th January 2021 when it has been decided one way or other beyond any doubt.

Until then, I'm having fun and, besides, your life would be so much less rewarding if you couldn't come on here several times a day to tell me I'm wrong.

 

If anyone fancies a laugh I recommend searching for posts by casual tyke containing the word "interesting". There's been so many "interesting" pieces of information or "interesting" few days to come, all of which have inevitably led to nothing.

 

'a few times'

 

But you said it was all over on the 9th November look...

No maybe’s or eventually’s. You’d seen the evidence that meant he’d won. Deal done November the 9th.

 

Interestingly..... everything relating to this on-going election saga 'leads' to the final outcome on 20th January 2021. Any wins and losses that happen along the way are largely meaningless. Trump could lose 1000 lawsuits and still win the 1 crucial one that lands him the Presidency.

When we get to the Inauguration you may get to have a proper laugh at my expense. Until then, it may be worth remembering what they say about 'he who laughs last'.
