I think pandemonium is not really the word. What’s a one word description for civil uprising?

“What is Revolt”.....I will take “Politicians That Are Cra-Cra” for 400 Alex.

The entire tRUMP regime - big massive dumps:

ABV, I just asked you to take it down a notch and discuss topics, issues, etc., not fellow post-ers and... You did the opposite. Go hang out in the Penalty Box for 1 Minute (2 Days). Your penalty will be up on Wednesday at 8:30 AM.

"The large majority of his time has been unstructured, in the Oval [Office], just going nuts about voter fraud," said a senior administration official. "I don't know how else to put it. That occupies seemingly every waking moment of his day." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... story.html

Is watching TV considered structured?

Which is yet another indicator of just how patriotic and how committed this Prez is, and always has been, to this country, its Constitution, and its citizens. This presidency has only ever been about his being the king of the land, and having his throne taken away from him is more than his fragile ego can deal with. Meanwhile, as he rants and raves and spreads lies and bullschidt, many are thinking of those who were willing to pay the price for his right to do so today.

Blame Chavez!

This even though he's been dead for a few years.

for now, we need the vax!

I'd agree that hypocrisy is rampant...may even have been guilty myself at some point. Almost surely, easy to fall into.

But playing golf is hypocritical?
Only if I'd been saying that people should do zero activities outside and safely distanced, right?

Heck, I'd just encouraged him to take a bike ride, get some fresh air, as he's said he likes that activity, as do I.

I've been advocating, consistently, that we should do those things that we can, safely, to get exercise and to socialize, and that we should focus on appreciating those things, rather than fixating on what we can't do safely and thus have to forego.

That's going to mean different things for different people's circumstances, but it's nevertheless the best we can do. Focus on positive stuff we can do, safely.

For my 90 yr old mother in law with some dementia that may mean just walking through the retirement center, maybe a short swim, a visit outdoors from her daughter, distanced, on a warmer day, a call every day from each of her children...for my 84 yr old mom, it does mean playing golf still, taking walks, enjoying her family...but not complaining about not being able to play bridge inside, which we found she and her buddies were still doing a month ago when we arrived...and without masks. "They're all careful"...there's now a resident from her community in the ICU with Covid...

But do what you can, safely, and appreciate it.

He for real has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Full blown. All of this is 100% predictable. He is who he is.

You have people on this board that “believe” he is justified. It is remarkable.

Not so remarkable. Humans are, by nature, irrational. You and me included. We're just not irrational about this specific issue. Though, i must admit, when I take off my analytical hat, it's pretty remarkable...

Yup, and one can believe all he wants but that doesn't make it true. See Santa Claus.
Fortunately for his believers their king still has a golden throne to sit on, it's just not
in the White House.

So much winning (in Michigan):

"This case represents well the phrase: “this ship has sailed.” The time has passed to provide most of the relief Plaintiffs request in their Amended Complaint; the remaining relief is beyond the power of any court. For those reasons, this matter is moot."

"But, to be perfectly clear, Plaintiffs’ equal protection claim is not supported by any allegation that Defendants’ alleged schemes caused votes for President Trump to be changed to votes for Vice President Biden. For example, the closest Plaintiffs get to alleging that physical ballots were altered in such a way is the following statement in an election challenger’s sworn affidavit: “I believe some of these workers were changing votes that had been cast for Donald Trump and other Republican candidates.” But of course, “[a] belief is not evidence” and falls far short of what is required to obtain any relief, much less the extraordinary relief Plaintiffs request. The closest Plaintiffs get to alleging that election machines and software changed votes for President Trump to Vice President Biden in Wayne County is an amalgamation of theories, conjecture, and speculation that such alterations were possible. And Plaintiffs do not at all explain how the question of whether the treatment of election challengers complied with state law bears on the validity of votes, or otherwise establishes an equal protection claim.

With nothing but speculation and conjecture that votes for President Trump were destroyed, discarded or switched to votes for Vice President Biden, Plaintiffs’ equal protection claim fails. ‘[N]o single voter is specifically disadvantaged’ if a vote is counted improperly, even if the error might have a ‘mathematical impact on the final tally and thus on the proportional effect of every vote.’”

Not true in Trumpville.

And in Georgia, an order from the bench dismissing the Kraken:

So, do all of these court rulings have any effect on the way the SCOTUS would look at a case? It is not like they are 50/50 or something.

I hope Rudy’s depends held up.

Let’s see what our President is doing to serve us today:
