Twitter going into overdrive to try and prove that this was all Antifa's doing and that those who broke into the Capitol weren't Trump supporters at all!

:roll:
Antifa members have already been identified by their tags etc. This was a pre-planned false flag event.

I noticed this too but didn't want to stir the pot any more than I already have for one day. Apparently the viking guy has been pictured before in previous Antifa protests but who really knows what is true or false in cyber land.

At the risk of depriving Derek27 of entertainment, I think this thread has run its course. Only reason for keeping it open is to witness knightwire2 saying 'oops I was wrong'. But I think there's a greater chance of the earth being hit by a metorite than that.
We may as well let it run until the inauguration, but beyond that, the thread could get taken over by conspiracy theorists.

As I type there's talk on CNN about the 25th amendment, whether Trump's mentally capable of being president. He's still got two weeks to start the first ever nuclear civil war, might be worth going for it!

I don't think that's what Euler was asking :)

As for the thread I think its like the death by euthanasia or natural causes debate. The thread has already died once by natural causes and I think it should be let die the same way again .
I was replying to greenmark. I think knightwire, given the attention he's got should be given a chance to give his next conspiracy theory as to why Joe Biden became the next president but I'm not gonna get involved in that.

I'm guessing it will be, Biden's a robot operated by Trump, the real Biden who was shot and killed has been revived and kept captive by Putin in Russia. The US military has invaded every country on the planet and taken over the world, but they did it in secret, so none of us is aware that BJ's been assassinated and replaced with a double who can replicate his distinctive voice. But it's out there online if we could be bothered to look. :)

By contrast Emmson, i think im the only one on this thread who had the balls to show how much i had bet! Ive yet to see any of you other "experts" do that! :lol:
It doesn't take balls to show how much you've bet unless you've got an ego.

it was nothing to do with ego Derek. I was asked by others on this forum to back up what i was saying, by showing i was confident in what i was saying. If you were not willing to do that, i guess that is just a sign that you are not particularly confident in what you are saying. Anyway, im off, this forum is giving me a headache ! Good luck! :D
WTF makes you think I even got involved in the market? This thread is about the US election, you don't have to trade it to talk about the election!

I was just saying it doesn't take balls to post a P/L unless you've lost and have an ego.

No I know you were replying to greenmark, was making the point that I don't think Eulers comment was about liquidating the thread :)

If Pence's chief bodyguard shoots Trump, Pence becomes president, can immediately pardon his BG, call in the military to exterminate the protesters, pardon them if it's necessary, and then get a move on. :D

The world should impose sanctions on the US until there is a peaceful transition of power.
That is the hallmark of democracy, peaceful transition of power following free and fair elections.

Also requires the losers to accept the legitimacy of the winning side (while continuing to disagree on positions of policy they oppose).

Sad to see what occurred today.

Tell me if you have had enough guys.
I'm very much a subscriber to the John Stuart Mill principle, that even if everyone, except one person, were of the same view then it would be even more important to hear that counterview. It helps people clarify for themselves how do they "know what they know" and how do they form the view that the other person is wrong. What we require in rationale debate is evidence and logic. When there is not a shred of evidence and no logic then we form the view about our own knowledge and position and why we are so sure of our own positions.

How people distort other peoples reality for their own narrative. One min he's MAGA the next Antifa. Social media really is a messed up place. Millions of people will believe he's Antifa from surface level comments saying so but here is the real dude and from the horses mouth.

Where are the flipping water cannons? They're able to clear the streets quickly so Trump can stand outside a church and hold a bible but can't even clear the streets for congress!
