This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind.

Court cases are proceeding in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania--and maybe still Nevada.

Here is the current status of all cases in those states. Note that the first three of the states you mention no longer have any remaining active cases. That doesn't mean there could not be a future appeal, but right now cases are not in fact proceeding in those three states.

Georgia [ NO REMAINING ACTIVE CASES ]

U.S. District Court, Northern District: In Wood v. Raffensperger, an Atlanta lawyer and Trump supporter sought an injunction to prevent a statewide canvass, arguing that a consent decree wrongly imposes an invalid procedure to verify voter signatures.

U.S. District Court, Southern District: In Brooks v. Mahoney, four Republican voters claimed that a voting machine software glitch caused a miscounting of votes.

Status: Dismissed.
Chatham County Superior Court: The Georgia Republican Party and the Trump campaign sought a reminder that mail-in ballots arriving late would not be counted.

Status: Dismissed.

Arizona [ NO REMAINING ACTIVE CASES ]

Maricopa County Superior Court: In Arizona Republican Party v. Fontes, the Republicans sought a hand recount of the ballots cast in Maricopa County by precinct. The GOP does not allege fraud, but it claims that the audit of votes did not meet state law.

Status: Dismissed.
Maricopa County Superior Court: In Trump v. Hobbs, the Trump campaign claimed that using Sharpies to fill in mail-in ballots caused an overvote and invalidated ballots.

Status: Dismissed.

The Trump campaign on Monday appealed Saturday's ruling in a document riddled with perplexing logic and multiple grammatical errors.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court: The Trump campaign appealed a Philadelphia County Board of Elections decision to count five different categories of mail-in and absentee ballots.

Status: Pending.
Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court: In Kelly v. Pennsylvania, a group of Republicans, led by Rep. Mike Kelly, claimed that the state's no-excuse mail ballot law violates the state constitution. They sought an order blocking certification of most mail-in votes or that directs the state Assembly to choose the presidential electors.

Status: Active. The court on Wednesday issued a temporary blocking of any action to certify votes in Pennsylvania, “to the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification.” A hearing is set for Friday. The state has sought a supreme court review.

Greetings!

Yep. Some cases in the various contested states have been dismissed. More are being filed, and appealed.

Guess what happens when the Trump Campaign pushes these various cases--as well as Lin Wood, Sidney Powell, and other attorneys--to the United States Supreme Court?

Oh, yeah. All of the main contested states are overseen by SCOTUS Alito, Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and other conservative justices.

And you can keep the shrieking nonsense about Lin Wood or Sidney Powell being crazy. Attorney Lin Wood just got done winning the Sandman case against CNN and the Washington Post for 250 MILLION dollars, with more to come. Oh yeah, the Sandman case, where the cock-sucking Liberals tried to fabricate, lie, and deceive the American public, again. Sidney Powell, as I understand--has been an excellent Federal Prosecutor for many years. Yeah, Federal Prosecutors are known for being incompetent and crazy, right? Oh, that's right, Sidney Powell just spearheaded the case that blew the fucking lying Liberals to hell in their corrupt case against General Flynn. Remember the scandal? Just a few months ago, all the cock-sucking Liberals, the Democrats, the corrupt agents in the FBI, they were all fucking disgraced and covered in shit. Their attempts at crucifying General Flynn was entirely corrupt BS.

So, the future developments should be interesting!

I have no evidence to prove it as a theory nor do I have any evidence to say it is the absolute truth.
What I find interesting is how people react to this. You react as if it threatens you personally. I try to post unusual and interesting information. I also accuse and call people out, but hardly ever by name. Many people think I specifically called them something - taking great offense - when what I was posting was not about/i] them. Interesting how people identify themselves as something, isn't it HD?
Why is what I post so threatening to you and others?
Or are you just trolling?
It's interesting to me either way.

It's also interesting to my 'friends', I would think. Can't wait for you all to show up at the house again. We'll have a good chin-wag we didn't have last time. I guess my old plan is working... kinda.

Some people only support officially approved conspiracy hypothesis like, in Happy Daze case, the Wuhan Covid 19 conspiracy hypothesis and do not approve other unpopular conspiracy hypothesis like Election corruption for example.

There are some posters here who only just managed to survive the Trump telling them to drink Bleach conspiracy hypothesis.

I am making a conscious effort to avoid posting in the Pundit's subforum and focus more on gaming threads, though I honestly find the current well a bit dry, and have for some time, but I thought I'd post this article and see what both sides think...

https://thefederalist.com/2020/11/23/5-more-ways-joe-biden-magically-outperformed-election-norms/


Its all about the record setting performance of Biden's election.


Prediction: From the Mistwells and Happydaze's of the thread I expect a lot of comments about how its not Pravda.
                 From the Sharks and Spinachcats I expect... I dunno... laughing amusement? Something...
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Oh, yeah. All of the main contested states are overseen by SCOTUS Alito, Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and other conservative justices.

First most are state issues and not federal issues and cannot go to the USSC. Second, the USSC will not intervene on a case which has no basis and is dismissed. It needs at least an appeal able error than an appeals court is willing to take up and they are not taking most up. Third the idea that conservatives on the Court will side with Trump purely from partisan bias is as absurd as liberals thinking the Court is partisan on everything as well. News alert: the Court isn't near as partisan as you think and there is no chance they will vote in favor of Trump on any of this shit. They won't even take the cases. Because they are extremely weak cases which do not add up to a change in the election result.

She's trying to cut book deals and get a show on a political commentary network. You are a sucker for falling for it. You will feel embarrassed in a few months for being such a sucker. You will deny it because you don't hold yourself accountable for your mistakes, but you will still feel embarrassed because you were such a sucker.

This is only going in one direction, and you are in denial. When it finally hits you this was all just bullshit and isn't going anywhere, you will bluster and bluff and try and save face. But the rest of us will have seen how you behaved through this, how out of touch with reality you were, and you will never fully recover your prior reputation because of that. Because we will all know you were such a fool during all this, who fell for the stupidest shit like he was fresh off the boat. And it will taint everything you write thereafter. You will no longer have the gravitas you once had. And that's a shame. But it's your own doing. Because you were just too stubborn to actually step back and assess when you knew you should.

Guess what happens when the Trump Campaign pushes these various cases--as well as Lin Wood, Sidney Powell, and other attorneys--to the United States Supreme Court?

Oh, yeah. All of the main contested states are overseen by SCOTUS Alito, Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and other conservative justices.

First most are state issues and not federal issues and cannot go to the USSC. Second, the USSC will not intervene on a case which has no basis and is dismissed. It needs at least an appeal able error than an appeals court is willing to take up and they are not taking most up. Third the idea that conservatives on the Court will side with Trump purely from partisan bias is as absurd as liberals thinking the Court is partisan on everything as well. News alert: the Court isn't near as partisan as you think and there is no chance they will vote in favor of Trump on any of this shit. They won't even take the cases. Because they are extremely weak cases which do not add up to a change in the election result.

Sidney Powell, as I understand--has been an excellent Federal Prosecutor for many years. Yeah, Federal Prosecutors are known for being incompetent and crazy, right? Oh, that's right, Sidney Powell just spearheaded the case that blew the fucking lying Liberals to hell in their corrupt case against General Flynn. Remember the scandal? Just a few months ago, all the cock-sucking Liberals, the Democrats, the corrupt agents in the FBI, they were all fucking disgraced and covered in shit. Their attempts at crucifying General Flynn was entirely corrupt BS.

She's trying to cut book deals and get a show on a political commentary network. You are a sucker for falling for it. You will feel embarrassed in a few months for being such a sucker. You will deny it because you don't hold yourself accountable for your mistakes, but you will still feel embarrassed because you were such a sucker.

This is only going in one direction, and you are in denial. When it finally hits you this was all just bullshit and isn't going anywhere, you will bluster and bluff and try and save face. But the rest of us will have seen how you behaved through this, how out of touch with reality you were, and you will never fully recover your prior reputation because of that. Because we will all know you were such a fool during all this, who fell for the stupidest shit like he was fresh off the boat. And it will taint everything you write thereafter. You will no longer have the gravitas you once had. And that's a shame. But it's your own doing. Because you were just too stubborn to actually step back and assess when you knew you should.
Seeing that forgiveness is something you all abhor, probably because Christianity is weakness to you,  perhaps you should have the gravitas to drag them from their home and put a bullet in the back of their head. If you can't forgive, then be merciful perhaps? Or is it sadism that gets you all off? Remember, they never talked about cutting Joe Biden's head off, nor do they go around beating up those weaker than they are. Must make you all feel superior. I think that's it, right?

Some people only support officially approved conspiracy hypothesis like, in Happy Daze case, the Wuhan Covid 19 conspiracy hypothesis and do not approve other unpopular conspiracy hypothesis like Election corruption for example.

There are some posters here who only just managed to survive the Trump telling them to drink Bleach conspiracy hypothesis.
thanks! Good to know that one!

Well, Sidney Powell is the lawyer. She will argue her case, as will other attorneys involved. I'm not a lawyer, and never claimed to be one. I am able, however, to comment on the political and legal developments as I see fit. It seems quite obvious to me that a range of fraud and corruption has gone on during this election. You may choose to ignore such, or deny it, though I have no confidence or faith whatsoever in the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party has engaged in a constant litany of lies, fraud, corruption, and disgraceful propaganda since the beginning of President Donald Trump's term in office. Therefore, I am not surprised in the slightest that the Democrat Party would seek to win the 2020 Presidential Election through efforts of deception, fraud, and corruption. Indeed, I am angry and have been passionate in my commentary about the implications for our Republic, and the future genuine political freedom of our country, seeing that Marxists have gained unprecedented power and influence within the Democrat Party, various echelons within government agency bureaucracies, and the increasingly authoritarianism of the Big Tech corporations. In my mind, these political dynamics are in motion and gaining in strength and power, regardless of whatever happens with the judicial and legislative proceedings and efforts pursued by President Trump and his Campaign.

Furthermore, I have always supported President Trump. I am proudly *Conservative* and a patriot. I don't support or approve of Biden and Kamala as government leaders, let alone them serving at the highest positions of political leadership in this country. The entire ideology and political goals of the Marxist Democrats is entirely oppositional to everything that I believe in and value. Politically, economically, socially, religiously, I think the Marxist Democrats are wrong in virtually every way, on everything. Marxist Democrats are poisonous and hateful to our Republic and our great nation, and our noble heritage, passed down to us by our courageous forefathers.

I have no regrets, and make no apologies.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

I have to say, the revelations from the Pennsylvania case are hilarious. Almost 600,000 postal votes injected into the process in the small hours of the morning, 572,000 for Biden, 3,200 for Trump.

Nothing suspicious there at all. Nope, nothing to see here, move along.

Trump and allies have one out of (checking Marc E. Elias twitter) 39 cases. That one case invalidated a small number of ballots that were never included in the vote count. They talk a lot of fraud outside the courtroom but not in it, because they have no real evidence. Pennsylvania has already certified the presidential election result. So, yeah, nothing to see.

Oh and the media seem to want people to think that boogalooers are "right wing". I have seen lots of leftists thinking this because the media keep saying it. They protested against the police after George Floyd died, and one of them has supported Hamas. Does that sound right wing to anyone?

One of them isn't right wing? It is unclear whether their participation in BLM protests was in support or to discredit BLM or just to foment violence; the first seem unlikely but maybe that Hamas one... The would-be kidnappers of Governor Whitmer were connected to the Boogalooers.

Rudi Juliani speaks at the hearing in Pennsylvania, discussing a wide range of details concerning the 2020 Election, and elements of fraud. Witnesses certified under Perjury also testify in the hearings with Pennsylvania Legislators.
