Nov-08-20  technical draw: My answer (b).
Nov-08-20  optimal play: <They may not do anything at all because of the lame duck situation he's in. It won't really matter which Democrat is president because they'll be practically impotent>

What about for purely symbolic purposes?

Even if it makes no difference from a practical perspective, do you think the Dems will proceed with their plan in order to bring about the first ever woman president?

Especially since she will be a coloured woman?

I don't think so. They're only going to sac a piece if they can checkmate, but who knows. Never underestimate the evil of the libs.

Still, they stick together. They're not going to bump old man Joe off just to have a colored woman be president. I don't think they would kill Biden under any circumstances really. They would do something else, like declare him unfit, or report a recent stroke and then hide him in the basement.

It ain't over yet though. Don't forget that. This fraud is not going to go uncontested. Trump is going to fight hard to bring justice to this situation. He's not just going to roll over and play golf.

Nov-09-20  Big Pawn: Are we to believe that Biden got 75 million votes and Obama, in his prime, got 68 million?

Think about this for a minute.

Obama actually energized the democrats. They were showing up to his rallies 10 or 20 thousand deep to cheer on the black man. Nothing had the democrats more excited about an election than their chance to put a black man in office.

It was the ultimate virtue signal.

Black people came out in numbers to vote for Obama, as one would expect. After all, it's the first black president.

It's historical.
It's unprecedented.
It's like the Woodstock of our era.

Everywhere Obama went, the Democrats came out in the tens of thousands to show their wildly enthusiastic support. It was massive. No one had energized the Democratic party base like Obama since I don't know when.

The result? 68 million votes.

Are we really to believe that Biden, who didn't campaign, hid in his basement and had almost no attendance even when he did hold an event, beat Obama by 7 million votes?

On the other side of the equation, Trump had 63 million votes in 2016 and 71 million in 2020, an increase in 8 million votes! The GOP held every single seat in the House and Senate, even though the polls had predicted a BLUE WAVE in both houses.

The libs were licking their lips.

You'll recall in 2018 when the Democrats had a victory in the House, they said it was a referendum on Trump. However, in 2020, the GOP did amazing well in both houses, so now what do the libs say?

They say it was a referendum on Trump.

What else can they say? That it was voter fraud?

Trump increased his votes by 8 million and we're not surprised. Like Obama in 2008, Trump had tens of thousands showing up to his rallies no matter where he held them. Like Obama, Trump generated huge excitement in his base. Therefore, it's not surprising that he got 71 million votes, but Biden?

If 75 million people voted for Biden (not on election day, but at night when the libs were counting the votes), then how come there wasn't a landslide for the libs in both houses?

Remember, 2018 was a referendum on Trump.

Also remember, Trump was enjoying 96% support from Republicans going into this. There is nothing to suggest that Republicans would vote (R) for the down ballot but against Trump for president.

Put all of this together and then consider:

Libs put cardboard up on the windows so Republican observers couldn't really see them counting the <votes>.

Consider this: Biden did worse in all the big cities than Clinton did in 2016 - except for the ones in the battleground states!

Consider this: all of the computer <glitches> turned Trump votes into Biden votes.

Consider this: Biden didn't campaign, because he knew the fix was in.

Consider the statistical impossibility of the number of Biden vs Trump votes that came in under the cover of darkness. Sometimes there were 100k ballots all cast for Biden and not a single Trump vote.

Why did the battleground states all decide at the same time to <stop counting votes>? Has that ever happened before? Was it so they could count up how many votes had come and how many were needed to win, so they could create these fake votes behind boarded up windows?

What about all the counties where the number of votes cast exceeds the actual number of registered voters? How'd that happen?

And why were the libs fighting so hard to keep GOP observers from seeing what they were doing?

What were they hiding?

And now the liberal media who refused to accept Trump's presidency for 4 years are telling us we have to accept Biden's election <already> because it's time to <move on> and of course it's for the <good of the country>?

Trump shouldn't leave the White House, no matter what. There are over 100 million people, probably more like 200 million people, in America that think this was a fraud.

Biden will not be accepted as a legitimate president under any circumstances. Time to investigate him now for election fraud and if he gets in, we need to start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Nov-09-20  Big Pawn: Trump JR tweeted this:

<70 million pissed off republicans and not one city burned to the ground.>

Nov-09-20  Big Pawn: Let me ask the Elite Posters:

Was <Chancho> on the Other Page yesterday and today clutching his pearls over the SUPER SPREADER events held by the libs celebrating by the millions across America?

Libs gathered spontaneously by the thousands in cities across America and they weren't social distancing or all wearing masks.

Is <chancho> clutching his covid pearls?

Are the libs whining about this super spreader event?

Notice all the libs came out to face the threat of COVID to celebrate Biden's apparent victory, but they didn't show up at his rallies?

I think there's a real chance that Trump could win this in court. He could expose all of that corruption, win the election <and> restore faith in the system to the American people.

It could happen.

Nov-09-20  Big Pawn: Less than one day after Biden is called the President Elect.

Hey, it's good to see an old brotha back in play here. Welcome back <SugarDom>.

Yeah, Trump got cheated. See my post above. The evidence is overwhelming and there must be a lengthy investigation.

Nov-09-20  Big Pawn: Attention Elite Posters:

My paid membership here is going to expire soon. When that happens, this forum will be shut down.

Therefore, if you haven't already, go to https://offensivetruth.com/politics/

and sign up. That will be the future free speech zone. Quite a few Elite Posters have already made accounts over there. Takes a minute. Register, choose a name, click the link in the email, log back in.

Piece of cake.

That website will pick up steam once this forum is closed. I will post there all the time instead of here, so you folks will get used to dropping by there to see what's new. All the regulars will have a place to <truly> say what they want and not have to worry about being censored.

I'm not planning on making it a big website, making it popular, driving traffic to it or anything like that. It's just a place I made for us, so we can have a place for the Elite Posters to communicate away from the bottom feeders.

Nov-09-20  optimal play: <It’s just difficult to accept that old Joe Biden, whose base seemed about as energized as the night of the living dead, won more of the popular vote than the messianic Barack Obama did in 2008.>

I will check out newsmax. But the article also mentioned OAN.

<BP> and <CM>, how does OAN compare to newsmax? I haven't watched either.

Nov-09-20  Big Pawn: We now know that CNN truly believes that Biden is the president elect. How do we know this for sure? For the last five or six months, CNN has had the covid death count and infection count on the screen 24 seven. This morning it was not there!

That doesn’t mean it won’t come back, but it wasn’t there.

Let the lurking reader see.

"Funny how a "vaccine" magically turns up when Biden "wins""

""We're making a list of Trump's enablers" Be careful, there are 71 million of us."

<tga newsmax vs oann> - I'll chime in - Newsmax is sometimes heavy on anti-liberal editorializing and that's mainly from Spicer's show. OANN is like Fox used to be, but they got rid of Liz Wheeler.

NTD is another one. It's on Verizon & Frontier FIOS channels. NTD stands for New Tang Dynasty Television, an anti-Communist network that is run by the Falon-gong cult that is targeted by the Chinese government.

Whatfinger is the conservative Drudge Report and has many links to alternative conservative outlets from their headlines, such as postmillenial, naturalnews, libertynation, etc.

Ground News scales their articles based on which politically-biased outlets they appear, (the conservative treehouse is not included). You can also use their "blindspot" feature to read articles that heavily appear in liberal vs. conservative outlets.

Nov-10-20  thegoodanarchist: CNN rescinded AZ, I've read.
Nov-10-20  thegoodanarchist: Notes on Purgatory:

I've heard of Purgatory all of my life, since the city where I grew up has a significant Roman Catholic population. Kids I went to school with talked about it.

But I never really understood what it was, so today I read up on it a bit, on wikipedia. Obviously wikipedia is not always the most reliable source, but here are a couple of take-aways:

1. <The Catholic (sic) Church holds that "all who die in God's grace and friendship but still imperfectly purified" undergo the process of purification which the Church calls purgatory, "so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven". It bases its teaching also on the practice of praying for the dead, in use within the Church ever since the Church began, and mentioned in the deuterocanonical book 2 Maccabees 12:46.[5]>

2. <At the Second Council of Lyon in 1274, the Catholic Church defined, for the first time, its teaching on purgatory, in two points:

i) some souls are purified after death;
ii) such souls benefit from the prayers and pious duties that the living do for them.>

So my takeaways are that 1) the doctrine is derived from the book of 2nd Maccabees, which (to my knowledge) is not accepted as canonical outside of the RCC.

(I am assuming the Orthodox church doesn't accept Maccabees based on another quote from wikipedia: <At the Second Council of Lyon in 1247, strong Eastern Orthodox opposition to the idea of a third place in the afterlife containing fire was one of the differences that prevented reunification with the Catholic Church.>)

And 2) the doctrine of purgatory wasn't clearly established until more than a millennium after Christ founded his church on Peter.

<BP> and other believers in Christ, what are your thoughts on Purgatory?

Nov-10-20  technical draw: <<BP> and other believers in Christ, what are your thoughts on Purgatory?>

This concept, like the doctrine of Immaculate Conception, are just traditional Catholic teachings with no biblical base. There are other concepts like transubstantiation that are also suspect.

<tga>, I agree with what <td> said.
