    So after election day in the United States, there were many who said "Let's wait until December 15th" regarding recognition of who won the Presidential election because that was when the electoral college got together and cast their votes. When December 15th came and went, now they are waiting for January 6th when Congress certifies the result.

    In between election day and December 15th and then between that day and January 6th there have been over 50 lawsuits almost all of which were dismissed.

    So my question is this: After January 6th, IF things do not go Donald John Trump's way on that day, will you finally acknowledge Joseph Biden as President-elect? Probably not. But if not what then? 14 more days of lawsuits and waiting for a possibility of something different happening on January 20th?

    As the thread title says: the calendar is not on your side. It is on my side in the sense that the finish line is in sight. But on Trump's side he's still got many more theoretical legal hoops to jump through to pull off a win with so little time.

    With a name like Greenleft, Biden is probably not "your side" anyway.

    Not really. But You know what I like less? Having Donald John Trump extend his time with access to the nuclear codes.

    After the electoral vote is certified by congress then Biden is president. To remove him at that point would take impeachment regardless if they find fraud afterwards or not.

    Even if he admits he was aware of fraud and is removed it goes to Harris, then Pelosi.

    So at this point it's best to keep biden in there.

    You prefer a dementia patient spouting gloom and doom for several months have the football to the sitting POTUS who has had the codes for 4 years without incident?

    Don't walk in the rain, you'll drown.

    It's a tell that 90%+ of the angst over the prospect of not getting the CHICOM puppet into the WH is coming from the LW on this forum, see this thread for instance. How many threads on this from you and yours? how many PER DAY? How many speculations predicting that Trump will remain POTUS from the other side? 0.

    Defensive about something? Seems so.

    It does not matter. Biden did is not a legitimate winner here. The calendar will not change that.

    Believe what you will. Your belief does not change anything either unless your words are put into action AFTER January 20th.

    Until then though, this dance of lawsuits and political maneuverings will most likely (I reserve the right to be wrong) come to nothing.

    Lets compare the number of nut bag "we waz robbed" threads.
    Telling that you left them out isn't it, even those that you started.

    Honesty and integrity is very rare on the right.

    1. Very few comparatively as a matter of fact, not delusion or childish red herring. But tell me, are these "we waz robbed" threads in the room with you right now? It's a fact that there was much election/voting fraud in the election, even your side is honest enough to admit that at this point so infantile false comparison in addition.
    2. I don't recall starting any such threads, didn't in fact. So it seems that the few posts you make on this forum that aren't bait are fabrications, that about sum it up?

    Sorry, you can't talk or rationalize away Biden's very obvious dementia via false equivalence. Keep trying, though, because it's funny. It will be used in conjunction with a bribery investigation to pave the way for the illegitimate Hobama Presidency.

    There is no very obvious dementia. You're just seeing what you want to see. There is mild cognitive decline, age-related and age-appropriate. Biden is not clinically demented. But let's for a moment, for the sake of the argument, say that there is. So, your boy was beaten by a dementia patient. What does it say about your boy? LOL.

    Biden has significant dementia, rationalize however you want.

    I'd rather have a dementia ridden president than a sociopath. Seems you like crazy.

    I'm not rationalizing. I'm basing this on my own observation of his performance in debates especially the 1 on 1 debates with Bernie Sanders, the two 1 on 1 debates with Trump, and the Town Hall that he did on his own because Trump chickened out. Especially in the latter when he was incredibly sharp and fast-thinking, there is just no way that he is demented. Some cognitive deficits, age-related, a.k.a. for lay people, "senior moments"? Sure. Who doesn't have them at his age?

    I know that his detractors keep thinking that he performs well like this by being full of drugs. Well, I'm a physician with 40 years of experience. I've treated numerous demented patients. The drugs for dementia at best delay the progression of the disease but don't reverse it spectacularly like you guys see in Hollywood movies. My knowledge of this is professional, and is no rationalization.

    But again, suit yourself. Sure, let's say he is demented. Again, what does it say of your boy who got soundly beaten by the demented basement guy? LOL

    We will most certainly acknowledge him just as powerfully as the Left acknowledged Trump's presidency.
