US Election

This isn’t about Biden’s inauguration any more; that’s happening. Only a fool thinks otherwise. It’s about ensuring the preparation is in place to go after Trump, his family and his associates for their criminal activity. My fear is that in trying to ‘reunite the country’ Biden will let it go. He shouldn’t. You have to call it out, and then go after criminals, particularly when that activity poses such a threat to democratic principles.

 

I find it hilarious that we've got someone clearly, and I mean CLEARLY, posting absolute
Rubbish to wind people up and the supposedly intelligent posters on here have been taking his posts seriously for months and have been arguing with him

Did you look up the word ‘laiker’ in your Barnsley dictionary?
Incidentally I think you’ll find the ‘top of the page’ actually says something about a BFC Fans Forum.

 

No one is really doing that ST. When I read this thread I always get a pound of lard out of the fridge to converse with. Just to keep me in touch with reality...like...Though I must admit, some of the points the Lard makes about the US election are certainly on a par with some on here.

 

I must admit I have a chuckle too ST.

 

It’s proper entertainment this. The more crap he posts, the more insane it gets. Surely you want to see how far he will go?

He’s gone too far now to accept defeat on the 6th, so he’ll then come up with another excuse. Aren’t you curious what that nonsense will be?

 

Barnsley born n’ bred, me tha knows, Dalesy. And I still live in’t tarn.

 

The thing is it's not about accepting defeat because he doesn't genuinely believe what he's posting. He's doing it for a laugh and to get a reaction.

 

While I agree that's plausable and maybe even likely, I know too many people (directly and indirectly) that repeat the same bullshít and do genuinely believe it, which is why I'm not so fast to jump to that conclusion. I think it's more likely that he's just been indoctrinated by the right wing nutjobs while he was trying to find 'evidence' for why his bet shouldn't have been settled against him.

 

As far as I recall, Casual claimed at the time he'd played on the exchanges and traded out for a profit, which is possible to do. Whether that was what actually happened only Cas himself will know! I once won money on the Reds even though we lost 3-2 thanks to one firms' 'payout if your team are two goals up' offer! Happy days!

As far as this thread goes, I'm not sure too many are taking it too seriously - it's become a little bit like the wrestling that used to appear on World of Sport

(Keep an eye on that Loko though!)

 

I've not misen been entertaining these two Trump supporters but find it entertaining reading by what they are saying, a bit like Brexit supporters going on about sovereignty, make Britain great again and we have our country back sort of rhetoric, I think its posters on this topic that are winding the Trump supporters up not the other way round.

 

Did he have a bet? He never said....

 

Is it? You said you'd vote for him. What does that make you if not a supporter? Just semantics at that point surely.

 

I disagree with the premise that you can vote for Trump and say you're voting republican and not Trump. That might be your intention, but your vote is in the Trump box. The president is not supposed to create laws, merely act in good faith and ensure laws passed are just and fair, along with acting as a figurehead and representative. This is why policy is not such a big deal when it comes to the presidential election.

I think on your second point the main reason for that is that not many people over here understand or particularly care about the intricacies of US policy. However the things that they do care about (climate change etc. global issues) the democrats are far better on, as they are far more globalist than republicans. However with Trump it goes further than that. He's a nasty, nasty individual. People have known that for decades. Countless rape and sexual assault accusations dating back a long time. Workers rights issues dating back a long time. Financial underhandedness dating back a long time. Combine that with his general lack of decorum and is it really a surprise he's such a divisive individual?

 

Absolutely loved it. Saw it a few weeks ago and cannot recommend it highly enough

 

You wonder why your posts attract the answers they do...

When you constantly attack the anti Trump posters with always mentioning this.

Just have a think about that.
