What a tit - he doesn't even state what his legal qualifications are. Amazing how people who lost a lot of money are desperate to cling onto the most unlikely hopes. :lol:

what happened in this market, with people who haven't read the rules, reminds me of that story when people thought they found the holy grail of betting in the first goalscorer market

I went back to check settlement of all previous markets since 2004 and they have all be settled on the projected winner of the electoral college and fairly promptly after the concession.

OK, things getting a bit nutty now, there's some suggestion that Trump might be planning to shoot his way out !of his election loss! :roll:


"Conspiracist lawyer Sidney Powell, disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn, onetime chief strategist Steve Bannon, hawkish trade adviser Peter Navarro and the eccentric founder of the retail website Overstock have all recently found themselves in the Oval Office or on the telephone advising Trump on new last-ditch efforts to reverse his loss."


"After news emerged of a heated Oval Office meeting Friday pitting Powell and Flynn against White House officials, including chief of staff Mark Meadows and White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Powell was seen exiting the executive mansion again on Sunday.
She was also seen at the White House on Monday, though it wasn't clear with whom she was planning to meet. She has been promoting an executive order allowing the federal government to seize voting machines in order to inspect them for fraud, a proposition that administration officials including acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf have warned is outside their authority."

"Powell attended Friday's meeting alongside Flynn, her client who Trump pardoned last month after he had twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Flynn had suggested in a television interview last week that Trump could use the military to rerun the election in certain states, an idea that again arose during Friday's meeting."

That's exactly what I was thinking and I hope somebody produces one. Sadly, Lloyd Bridges is no longer with us but he would have been perfect for the role. :)

Sorry, I don't believe that for a second. A poitician would have to be stark raving mad to make a call like that. It's a fair impression of Trump, but at this point, that's all. It does smack of impersonatioon to me. Don't get me wrong I despise Trump. Even though the DOW is now back to pre-covid levels, I still despise him.

I believe it without question - Trump's not a politician and he is stark raving mad. Besides, he believes whatever he likes whether it's true or not so why can't I? :D

Just when you thought this thread was over.....
