    I can't remember what I said on 9th November. I've slept since then. I'm happy to take you on your word and concede I got it wrong though.

    I still think Trump will get 4 more years. Tell me I'm wrong on 20th January 2021.

    But again, where did I offer anything that could be disagreed with? You’ve well and truly lost me on this one.

    Disagreeing is fine. It’s healthy. And it nearly always ends up being enlightening. The bashing doesn’t come through disagreeing, it comes from trying to create a ‘me vs. you’ on something where that just didn’t exist.

    Oh yes.... so you did Donny.

    Sorry, I don't really give your posts much attention.

    You posted something; I posted something else whilst quoting you.
    You then ranted about ‘bashing’.

    It’s getting a bit like the return of Nudge where you constantly whine about being the victim, despite the fact no one has attacked you. :oops:

    Always DR!

    It's not personal by the way. I tend to gloss over posts by several posters on here so I'm certainly not singling you out.

    Really doesn’t make a material difference how many it is, your sneering post is obviously a sneering post. There isn’t really any more to add.

    Have a merry Christmas. :)

    I’m saying this in jest but this conversation could go:

    BBS: Conversation about pardons
    Loko: I don’t have an opinion here but I heard something really interesting about the Clemency Power and previous Presidents
    BBS: You’re wrong! Fact check!
    BBS: There’s two sides of the same coin you know
    Loko: I wasn’t sharing an opinion. I don’t need to fact check as what I said was 100% true. I understand there’s two sides of the same coin, but I wasn’t actually sharing a side to begin with so there’s nothing to prove me wrong on. Maybe just ease off a bit in terms of everything being a debate?
    BBS: You’re getting like Nudger. Always playing the victim

    Happy Christmas by the way

    Meanwhile, it looks as though Trump's last 27 days in office are going to be increasingly bizarre. He seems to be arguing for more individual Covid relief payments while refusing to sign off what has been agreed - even by Mitch McConnell! Is it spite for McConnell's congratulatory message to Joe Biden? Who knows? But at the moment Trump is shafting ordinary Americans while threatening a government shutdown. He won't pass the Defence Act because of the naming of military bases. And he's gone to his Mr-Y-Lago funny farm while claiming to be "working tirelessly" for the American people. All the while, what must be annoying Trump more than anything is that Joe is largely ignoring him! The next 27 days are going to be entertaining (unless you're an ordinary American citizen)!

    He's also refusing to sign off on the Defence Act because he wants Section 230 repealed as part of it. Section 230 is the rule that provides websites with immunity from third-party content. Aka, so twitter cannot be sued for what somebody posts on there. Ironically Section 230 is the only thing that is stopping him and his cronies being removed from twitter altogether. If that is repealed it would destroy the internet as we know it. No content could be posted anywhere without approval by the website, as they would be directly responsible for it.

    The senate has a Veto-Proof majority though on the Defence Act, so I expect they will just vote to override Trump's Veto which will probably succeed.

    So taking time off from his golfing the President urges his supporters (Proud Boys, KKK, White supremacists etc.) to turn up in Washington on January 6 as the Congress meets
    to confirm Joe Biden as President. "It will be a wild one" he says. Meanwhile the bombing outside the CNN office in Nashville goes by unremarked from Trump. One wonders why.

    Covid continues to sweep the States as Trump golfs and the Vice President (head of the Covid task force) skis.

    One of his chief sycophants Marco Rubio tells people there is no need to have the vaccine. This shortly after he was first in the queue to get it. What a shower this lot are.

    Admittedly... the source is a little OTT. Would you care to debunk the content of the Ukrainian video though?

    I’d love to be a fly on your wall on 6th January when the penny drops that the crazy conspiracy theorists were right all along.
