    There's precedent for the SCOTUS to reject a hearing unilaterally: The tax case, the SCOTUS turned that down barring new arguments. I can see the SCOTUS having it go through regional courts first, and saving themselves the political headache.

    Why did you send this to me. I made the claim Trump made a bonehead campaign tactic.

    It's OK to take it ONCE the phase 3 trials end, and IF they show appropriate immunogenicity (above 50%) and efficacy in separation from placebo with a p value smaller than 0.05, and if there are no significant and severe reactions in the active group. NOT A SECOND BEFORE, AND NOT BECAUSE A POLITICIAN WANTED IT BEFORE THE ELECTION.

    If you want to learn more about the vaccines, do look up my thread The State of the Vaccines pinned by the Admin to the top of the Coronavirus Discussions subforum (not the Coronavirus News, but the Discussion subforum). You'll see that THAT's what I defend, so, no, don't put words in my mouth.

    I didn't put words in your mouth. I literally hypothesized a what if, one that's a very credible belief. The hysteria over the vaccine was outrageous and unnecessary, and it could come back to harm us later when one is actually released.

    Ask yourself - Why the pro Islamo Arabo Jihado in this respected forum are so happy that Trump lost ? ..

    This post ^ above... Man, oh man. It will be highly entertaining to retain it for re-posting with this image attached to it:

    [​IMG]

    I've been condescending too, but you beat me on it. You take the cake for the most condescending post.

    Me, confused? LOL

    So, your post is preserved for eternity. No way to delete it. It will be my pleasure to repost it once Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States of America. Which will be happen FOR SURE on January 20th, 2021.

    What is funny, is that when I said Trump would try to steal the election with the help of the SCOTUS, you dismissed it. Now, it's the outcome you're hoping for. And I'm the confused one. LOL.

    Oh. This kind of puerile name calling - pro Islamo Arabo Jihado - deserves your immediate move to my Ignore list. Good bye. Have a nice life. Stay safe.

    I am truly touched and humbled by your acknowledgement of my superiority on the matter of condescension. It takes a big man to acknowledge his inferiority and I truly admire that in you :D LOL

    That said, you should certainly save my post and please note, it's not about Trump winning or losing the court battles, I have no interest in making a prediction on that. It's about your expected behavior as an upstanding law abiding citizen, staying quiet, waiting patiently for the process play out, and accepting the ruling of appropriate legal authorities which will unlike you be unbiased and be presented with the opportunity to inspect and evaluate the evidence of fraud or lack of thereof. Nothing more, nothing less. Rest assured, that's exactly what I am doing as a law abiding citizen too. :D

    Name calling is opressive? Shall we delve into what the left says about the right?

    This is your big 'the left is oppressed' talking point? Yea, if this is all you've got you have nothing.

    Never happened and you know it. Go ahead and tell me otherwise so I can prove you wrong. Another baseless lie from the left.

    You had no response to what I said at all....yet you tried anyway. It was a valiant effort.

    The most important item on the agenda is the pandemic. At this moment the American death toll has reached 240,668. I use this website as the most up to date aggregator of reports:
    https://www.bing.com/covid/local/unitedstates
    The problem is the field has been heavily salted with the lies and incompetent actions of the Traitor Trump. By the time science can take hold and a national strategy be put into effect, many tens of thousands more will die.

    Look, I know perfectly well that the evidence is not being presented to ME. But have you noticed that numerous lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign have ALREADY been dismissed by JUDGES? Why, pray tell? BECAUSE THEY DID NOT PRESENT ANY EVIDENCE! That's precisely what many judges have said.

    Sorry, you don't get to tell me to "stay quiet." Or rather, sure, you can tell me that, but the odds that I'll obey you are worse than a snowball's in Hell. Or, to recover a recent discussion between us (which you never understood correctly, and then, I'm the "confused" one, LOL), a lot smaller than Trump's chances to win the election. If we ask Nate Silver, he will say, "not a chance." But hey, you don't trust him, so, whatever, right? LOL.

    True.
    And by the way I also regret the crowds in the streets today celebrating Biden's victory. Sure, it's something to be celebrated and it is practically impossible to avoid going out there... but it was imprudent. Guaranteed that in 2 weeks from today we'll see another spike in cases. By the way, so much for social distancing in South Bend today when the Irish beat the Tigers. The kids stormed the field. One of the biggest crowds I've seen in sports since the pandemic restrictions started. It's also guaranteed that there will be an outbreak of Covid-19 in the Notre Dame campus in two weeks.

    Yes I have indeed, that's a part of your "stay quiet", "let the process play itself out" drill that you should have memorized by now. It's going well for you so far, all lawsuits have been dismissed. But it's Trump's legal right and in fact responsibility to 70 million of his supporters to explore all legal avenues, just like it was Gore's, just like it was Stacey Abrams' rights. If he has no evidence, it will be over soon, if he has evidence of some minor improprieties, it won't overturn the result.... if he comes up with the evidence of a massive fraud, all bets are off.

    You as an upstanding law-abiding citizen want to make sure that if there was fraud it must be exposed and punished and if there was no fraud, Biden's presidency should be at least partially legitimized, for the sake of the unity of course. Do you not? Are you against Biden's legitimacy? or unity? :confusion::omfg:

    I have no problem with recounts, and if there were any impropriety I hope they nail the perpetrators to the wall.

    That said, I don’t think any investigations will change the minds of the Trump faithful. They will always find a way to call this a stolen election.

    I had grudging respect for the republican party. They were as loyal, patriotic and decent as they were wrong-headed. Good people with outdated and unrealistic ideas. I lost all respect, and so have millions of others. Its sad, really sad what they have done to their reputation, their credibility and its going to last for an entire generation.

    I do imagine the possibility of a perfect crime, this is certainly not out of the realm of possibility (the dispatching of Jeffrey Epstein leaps immediately to mind), given the stakes and the sophistication of parties involved.

    That said, perfect crimes are perfect because they are unprovable. I can't speak for others but if Trump fails to produce the evidence of wide-spread election fraud and his cases are all dismissed, I will certainly accept the validity of the vote count.

    Not many care (at this point).

    The Election was Legit (and Everybody Knows That).

    There is NOTHING to these "challenges" (and they will be laughed out of court).

    That said, I do hope that Bat Boy explores "all legal avenues".

    Taylor wants to be First Lady (and Bat Boy's "challenges" will certainly have exponentially more chance of success than Trump's Fantasies).

    Drop the sarcasm, buddy. Of course I want Biden's legitimacy. What I'm saying is that Trump's futile lawsuits will be dismissed for LACK OF EVIDENCE and the process will be over, soon. Which will of course confer legitimacy to Biden. At least, to those who aren't insane. Because the insane conspiracy theorists will continue to scream fraud, regardless of the lack of evidence and of the verdict of the courts. Since when do insane conspiracy theorists are convinced by facts? LOL.

    Look, off topic, but I don't feel like going back and finding what thread that Nate Silver discussion was on. Guess what? Nate Silver himself is talking about the polling error, and he is saying EXACTLY what I told you. Huh, and I'm the one who is confused, right? LOL. Here, for your reading delight (most relevant phrase in bold):

    Just like the 2 previous impeached presidents. But still impeached.
