Topaz my guy . Allow myself to be deceived as how? By now u suppose don know say I don't just talk for decoration. Do you think Trump was playing around when he said THE FIGHT IS JUST ABOUT TO START? He meant every word of it. Alternate Electors have been selected in those 4 Swing States, approved and chosen by the GOP led Legislature, which makes it 100% legal

https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2020/12/14/trump-campaign-assembling-alternate-electors-in-key-states-in-far-fetched-attempt-to-overturn-election/

But my own is Trump should stop playing nice and just declare Martial Law now, since as the POTUS he has said the ELECTIONS ARE UNDER PROTEST. The Military will move in very soon based on the Elections Interference EO Trump signed in 2018.

Guy mk u grow up na. All this childishness & denials on top candidate when don lose. Some GOP voters held gatherings in some swing States to cast electoral votes for Trump for symbolism sake & not to change the genuine State electors votes. Such gatherings & their votes are not backed by any law & is not legal.
Pennsylvania, Georgia & Michigan already casted their EC votes for Biden.

Foreign Affairs › 4 Stabbed And One Shot As Trump Supporters And Opponents Clash by Eddie4God(op): 4:13pm On Dec 13, 2020*

Incensed by a Supreme Court ruling that further dashed President Trump’s hopes of invalidating his November electoral defeat , thousands of his supporters marched in Washington and several state capitals on Saturday to protest what they contended, against all evidence, was a stolen election.
In some places, angry confrontations between protesters and counterprotesters escalated into violence. There were a number of scuffles in the national capital, where four people were stabbed, and the police declared a riot in Olympia, Wash., where one person was shot.
In videos of a clash in Olympia that were posted on social media, a single gunshot can be heard as black-clad counterprotesters move toward members of the pro-Trump group, including one person waving a large Trump flag. After the gunshot, one of the counterprotesters is seen falling to the ground, and others call for help. In one video , a man with a gun can be seen running from the scene and putting on a red hat.
Chris Loftis, a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol, said that two people were in custody in connection with the episode but that specific details about the shooting were not yet clear, including the condition of the person who was shot.
State and federal courts have rejected dozens of lawsuits by Mr. Trump’s allies seeking to challenge the election results, but the pointed refusal by the Supreme Court on Friday to hear a case filed by the attorney general of Texas loomed the largest yet.
Trump flags dotted the air above Freedom Plaza in Washington, where demonstrators — including many members of the far-right Proud Boys group — chanted “four more years!” and vowed not to recognize Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the president-elect.
At Georgia’s Statehouse in downtown Atlanta, speakers used megaphones to cast doubt on the election as American flags and Make America Great Again hats bobbed in the crowd. Across the street, a few dozen anti-Trump activists — many dressed all in black — heckled the president’s supporters.
Chris Hill, the leader of a right-wing group called the Georgia Security Force III%, rallied many of the protesters to the Statehouse. Mr. Hill said the Supreme Court had “thumbed its nose at us.” But unlike many others in attendance, he said he accepted that Mr. Trump had lost the election.
The gunfire in Olympia, Wash., came after supporters of Mr. Trump and counterprotesters gathered near the State Capitol on Saturday afternoon. The groups had clashed before the shooting, with some people throwing objects and punches. The air on the street was clouded by smoke grenades and mace, and police officers in riot gear later arrived on the scene.
The Olympia police said there were four arrests and that four officers had been injured, according to the CBS affiliate KIRO .
Clashes also broke out between opposing groups in Washington, D.C., where videos showed people clad in Proud Boys gear punching and kicking counterprotesters who were wearing helmets. The police stepped in and sprayed mace at some of the men involved in the fighting. Another video showed anti-police protesters scuffling with officers and tossing what appeared to be a wooden stick at them.
At night, four people were stabbed near 11th Street and F Street Northwest, according to Douglas Buchanan, a spokesman for the city’s fire department. The mayor’s office said that the four were in critical condition, adding that two police officers also were hurt and taken to hospitals. The authorities did not provide any other details, including which groups of protesters the injured belonged to.

pls keep quiet & stop embarrassing yourself. Mail in & Absentee ballots has been used in all US states to vary degrees for more than a century. It was not hastily drafted in by the governors. It's fully backed by States Laws. Mail in ballots usage & procedures was only expanded & made easier because of the covid 19 pandemic.
Even if some of the mail in ballots expanded procedures were made ultre vires, trump & republicans should have challenged it before the election & not after losing the election.

Foreign Affairs › Re: SCOTUS Gives Verdict On Texas Lawsuit - DENIED by Eddie4God(m): 10:09am On Dec 12, 2020

Openbusiness:
Yes, correct, I know. The decision was about improper filing not the complaint itself. So basically what the SCOTUS said was like,. 'Motion to leave' is denied but 'Motion to file' would have been acceptable. So now they have to go back and refile the case properly. But the PROBLEM now is TIME is running out

TF,
You just wrote utter nonsense. what is "Motion to leave" or "Motion to file".
The SCOTUS rejected the case basically because Texas doesn't not have the legal right to sue those states because it “has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.”
So stop decieving yourself, Texas or any other States can't refile the same case because they lack locus standi which robs the court of jurisdiction to hear the matter.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas said they would have heard Texas’ complaint. But they would not have done as Texas wanted — setting aside those four states’ 62 electoral votes for Biden — pending resolution of the lawsuit.

The Supreme Court cannot be bothered. The Supreme Court is not Sean Hannity's show, and it's not your drunk uncle on Facebook.

This is how the seditious puppet show ends. Not with a bang, but a wherefore.

The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.
(The vote to dismiss was 7-2, with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas voting to proceed with the case, but expressing no opinion on its merits.)

The Supreme Court cannot be bothered. The Supreme Court is not Sean Hannity's show, or your favorite drive-time radio program, or your favorite website, or your drunk uncle on Facebook. The Supreme Court doesn't care what you think you saw in Detroit, or that people gave you the hairy eyeball in Milwaukee, or said mean things to you in Pittsburgh, or drove a suspicious sandwich cart across the counting floor, or that you imagined the New Black Panthers filling out ballots by the truckload.

Foreign Affairs › All 3 Trump Supreme Court Appointees Decline Texas Election Case by Eddie4God(op): 4:38am On Dec 12, 2020*

All three of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointees — Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberal justices in declining to hear
Texas v. Pennsylvania .
In a short order issued Friday, the Court declared that Texas lacked standing to bring its case against Pennsylvania and three other states whose election rules were changed outside their respective state legislatures, as the Constitution requires.
Throughout Barrett’s confirmation process this past fall, Democrats suggested that Trump had appointed her in exchange for favorable judgements during the election. Barrett denied that the president had ever raised the election with her at all.
The three new Trump appointees voted with their liberal colleagues, whose votes were never in doubt. Roberts has lately moved toward the liberal camp, and voted accordingly. Ironically, only Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, both appointed by Trump’s Republican predecessors (George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, respectively), voted to hear the case. Four justices out of the nine would have had to agree to hear the case for it to have proceeded at the Supreme Court.

Foreign Affairs › America: Allen West Suggests ‘Constitution-Abiding States Should Form A Union’ by Eddie4God(op): 4:12am On Dec 12, 2020

Texas GOP chairman suggests ‘Constitution-abiding states should form a UNION’ after SCOTUS tosses election suit.

The Texas Republican Party chairman has blasted the Supreme Court for establishing a “precedent that says states can violate the US Constitution and not be held accountable,” and proposed a new “union of law-abiding states.”

State GOP chair Allen West floated the idea on Friday following a decision by the nation’s highest court to throw out a lawsuit brought by the Texas attorney general, which alleged that mail-in voting measures introduced in a number of states before the 2020 race were unconstitutional.

“The Supreme Court… has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law,” West said of the ruling, noting that the lawsuit was “joined by seventeen states and 106 US congressman."

"This decision establishes a precedent that says states can violate the US constitution and not be held accountable... Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution."

Brought by Texas AG Ken Paxton, the suit looked to bar four key battleground states – Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – from casting their electoral votes, asking the court to shift the selection of new electors to the state legislatures. Seven out of nine justices ruled to dismiss the case on Friday, however, stating that Paxton had not “demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.” Though Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas issued a dissenting opinion, they, too, said they would not have granted relief to the case, only suggesting that the court hear the complaint.

Successdude:
So it was that someone came to buy my family's land in 2018. And up till this Dec 2020 he was yet to complete the payment.

By August this year 2020 I had called him for the remainder of the money and he says he was in church and to call back. up till this December the man never called.

and now we decided we no longer selling. but could you believe that he is trying to use ignorant force to take it.

we haven't signed anything or any deeds of conveyance or anything whatsoever. infact the need for the money (why we decided to sell) which was to treat one of our distant relatives, is no more since we have lost the lady to the sickness.

I decided to make sure he wouldn't have it anymore cos of the way he handled the payment and again as he recently seem to be looking for trouble now of which I have decided to face his direction and give him rod for rod.

ordinarily I would have not created this thread cos I feel I have no case other than refund his money.

but I want to be absolutely in the know of what and what it could imply.

thanks for your guidance.

P.S : I am a young man and he is much older and wants to ride my family cos we have lost our dad many years back.

but I ain't gonna allow that. not possible.

Brother, you are within your right to repudiate the contract on the grounds of failure of the purchaser to pay the complete balance of the purchase price within the agreed time frame. After all no deed has been executed. However, i will advise you or your lawyer to write to him to formally demand full payment of the money or else you repudiate the contract. Make sure you have a copy of the letter.
It is even better for you that no deed of transfer/conveyance has been executed yet.

After SCOTUS decision doesn't favour trump, you people will shift the goalpost again to on the 14 when electors votes. After majority of electors confirms Biden as winner you will shift the goalpost to January when Congress meets. And after Congress votes & ratifies Biden as the winner, you will shift the goalpost to January 20th 2021. After Biden is sworn in on January 20th 2021, you move the goalpost to 2024 & so on & so on.

Foreign Affairs › Elon Musk Spacex Starship SN8 Explodes On Landing After Test Flight by Eddie4God(op): 12:23pm On Dec 10, 2020

SpaceX’s Starship prototype has exploded while attempting to land after its test launch from the company’s rocket facility in Boca Chica, Texas. Live video of Wednesday’s test showed the self-guided rocket landing at speed following a controlled descent before disappearing in a ball of flame.
Despite the catastrophic end to the six-and-a-half-minute test, SpaceX entrepreneur Elon Musk was thrilled. “Mars, here we come!!” he tweeted .
The Starship rocket destroyed in the accident was a 16-storey-tall prototype for the heavy-lift launch vehicle being developed by Musk’s private space company to carry humans and 100 tons of cargo on future missions to the moon and Mars.
The test flight had been intended to reach an altitude of 41,000 feet (12,500 metres), propelled by three of SpaceX’s newly developed Raptor engines for the first time. SpaceX did not make clear whether the rocket had flown that high.
Musk said immediately following the landing mishap that the rocket’s “fuel header tank pressure was low” during descent, “causing touchdown velocity to be high”. He added that SpaceX had obtained “all the data we needed” from the test and hailed the rocket’s ascent phase a success.
SpaceX made its first attempt to launch Starship on Tuesday, but a problem with its Raptor engines forced an automatic abort just one second before liftoff.
The complete Starship rocket, which will stand 394ft (120m) tall when combined with its super-heavy first-stage booster, is the company’s next-generation fully reusable launch vehicle and the centre of Musk’s ambitions to make human space travel more affordable and routine.
Nasa awarded SpaceX $135m to help develop Starship, alongside competing vehicles from rival ventures Blue Origin, the space company owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, and Leidos-owned Dynetcis.
The three companies are vying for future contracts to build the moon landers under Nasa’s Artemis program, which calls for a series of human lunar explorations within the next decade.
SpaceX, based in Hawthorne, California, has been buying up residential properties in the Boca Chica village just north of the US-Mexico border in south-eastern Texas to make room for his expanding Starship facilities, which Musk envisions as a future “gateway to Mars”.

The phenonema of 'biden being the antichirst' is an old trick used in many democracies.....scare voters into voting for you by selective usage of good old conspiracy theories.

Reagan and Bush were always portrayed, when running , as people who would turn the world into a nuclear wasteland, or who would make it difficult for women who wanted an abortion to get one. Clinton and Obama were also portrayed as being 'antichrist ' and in some extreme cases ...coming to jail christian.Bush 2 was the antichrist....or the guy who wanted to keep every woman barefoot and pregnant forever and ever.

Biden is the antichrist apparently or is paving the way for the real antichrist Kamala the witch., and for many Trump supporters, Trump was coming to 'take down the evil pedophilic elite'(which he hasn't done after 4 years')..meanwhile Trump opponents saw him as a dictator, or as someone who wanted to keep women barefoot, pregnant, make them have ten babies, and make them all homemakers.(oh and he wanted to jail gay people and prosecute black people for ever, and harm people of color).

Here in Nigeria, GEJ was portrayed as being 'a Zionist agent who wanted to make Muslims suffer'. Buhari was always 'coming to make us all Muslims'.

It's all part of the plan. Make people scared to vote for you. Fear works. Whichever side you are on. In eight years , people would probably be labeling Pete Buttigieg the next antichrist, or maybe a pretender who wants to make all gay people suffer..or whoever takes up the mantle.

You summed it all. Fear & sentiments always worked be it politics or religion.

The SCOTUS will hear the case tomorrow. I expect the hearing will go well, and they will most likely suspend the Electoral College voting pending the resolution of the case. And when Trump wins the case, it means the SCOTUS will cancel the Electoral College votes for the 4 States, which means both candidates will be officially below 270. And this means the House of Representatives will be the ones to vote to choose the President. Once it gets to this stage, game over, Trump wins automatically because Republicans have more votes than Democrats, 29 / 21. Even if there are some RINO Judas', Trump will still get the majority votes needed to win. As it stands the RINO Red Governors among those Swing States are already under fire and ratings have seriously dropped and are at risk of losing re-election.

If only wishes were horses.
SCOTUS can't suspend the Electoral college voting pending the resolution of any case before it. It will have to decide any case before the day the electors meet to cast their votes.

If Texas was so concerned about the the electoral rules & procedures of those States been unconstitutional & ultra vires they should have sued before the election & have it redressed.

Foreign Affairs › £50 Billion In UK Banknotes Is 'missing.' Nobody Has An Explanation by Eddie4God(op): 11:01pm On Dec 07, 2020

Here's a head-scratcher: The
use of cash has been declining for years in Britain, but demand for banknotes is skyrocketing. Nobody is quite sure where the money is going.
A group of UK lawmakers said on Friday as much as £50 billion ($67.4 billion) in cash was "missing," and it urged the Bank of England to investigate.
The money is "stashed somewhere but the Bank of England doesn't know where, who by or what for — and doesn't seem very curious," Meg Hillier, chair of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which oversees government finances, said in a statement. "It needs to be more concerned about where the missing £50 billion is," she added.
The Bank of England immediately pushed back. "Members of the public do not have to explain to the Bank why they wish to hold banknotes. This means that banknotes are not missing," a spokesperson said in a statement, adding that the central bank would continue to meet public demand for notes.
Despite the increased use of digital payments, demand for cash has risen in most advanced economies since the global financial crisis, according to a 2018 report by the Bank for International Settlements. This has been partly driven by lower interest rates, the report said, which have diminished returns on savings held with banks.
"We are seeing the increasing use of cash as a store of value, as opposed to for transactional purposes," chief cashier at the Bank of England Sarah John said in testimony before the Public Accounts Committee in October. Worries about the strength of financial institutions since the 2008 crisis have also contributed to this, she added.
And while there was a sharp decline in demand for notes and coins during the peak of coronavirus lockdowns this year, it has since recovered, with people stockpiling even more cash at home as a result of the pandemic.
The number of notes in circulation in Britain reached a record high of 4.4 billion in July, with a total value of £76.5 billion ($103 billion), according to a September report by the National Audit Office (NAO), which monitors government spending. This compares with 1.5 billion notes worth about £24 billion ($32.3 billion) in 2000.
At the same time, the volume of cash payments has declined, a trend likely to accelerate because of the pandemic. A decade ago, cash was used in six out of 10 transactions; last year it was less than three.
The Bank of England estimates that between 20% and 24% of the value of notes in circulation are used for cash transactions, with a further 5% held by UK households as savings.
"Little is known about the remainder, worth approximately £50 billion, but possible explanations include holdings overseas for transactions or savings and possibly holdings in the UK of unreported domestic savings or for use in the shadow economy," the NAO said in its report.
It recommended that the central bank, working with other public authorities, improve its understanding of what is driving the increase in demand for notes and who is holding the £50 billion.
"This work might help inform wider policy, for example on tax evasion," it added.

Health › Moscow Opens Dozens Of Coronavirus Vaccination Centers by Eddie4God(op): 3:59pm On Dec 05, 2020

Thousands of doctors, teachers and others in high-risk groups have signed up for COVID-19 vaccinations in Moscow starting Saturday, a precursor to a sweeping Russia-wide immunization effort.
The vaccinations come three days after President Vladimir Putin ordered the launch of a “large-scale” COVID-19 immunization campaign even though a Russian-designed vaccine has yet to complete the advanced studies needed to ensure its effectiveness and safety in line with established scientific protocols.
The Russian leader said Wednesday that more than 2 million doses of the Sputnik V jab will be available in the next few days, allowing authorities to offer jabs to medical workers and teachers across the country starting late next week.
Moscow, which currently accounts for about a quarter of the country’s new daily infections, moved ahead of the curve, opening 70 vaccination facilities on Saturday. Doctors, teachers and municipal workers were invited to book a time to receive a jab, and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that about 5,000 signed up in a few hours after the system began operating on Friday.
Russia boasted that Sputnik V was the world’s “first registered COVID-19 vaccine” after the government gave it regulatory approval in early August. The move drew criticism from international experts, who pointed out that the vaccine had only been tested on several dozen people at the time.
Putin has shrugged off doubts about it, saying in August that one of his daughters was among the early vaccine recipients.
Over the past months, Sputnik V has been offered to medical workers and teachers even as it was still in the middle of advanced trials. Several top officials said they also have received the jabs, and earlier this week the Russian military began vaccinating crews of navy ships scheduled to depart on a mission.
Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said Wednesday that more than 100,000 people in Russia already have received the shots.
The free vaccine is offered to people aged 18 to 60 who don’t suffer from chronic illnesses and aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding.
The two-shot Sputnik V was developed by the Moscow-based Gamaleya Institute. An advanced study among 40,000 volunteers was announced two weeks after the vaccine received government approval and that is still ongoing.
Last month, developers of the vaccine said interim analysis of trial data showed it was 91.4% effective. The conclusion was based on 39 infections among 18,794 study participants that received both doses of either the vaccine or a placebo, which is a much lower number of infections than Western drugmakers have looked at when assessing the effectiveness of their vaccines. Two other Russia-designed vaccines are also undergoing tests.
On Wednesday, Britain became the first country in the West to authorize the use of a vaccine against the coronavirus developed by U.S. drugmaker Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech.
Russia has been swept with a resurgence of the outbreak this fall, with numbers of new infections exceeding the levels recorded early in the pandemic, but the authorities so far have refrained from a tight lockdown imposed in the spring.
On Saturday, Russia reported a new record high of daily infections at 28,782, including 7,993 in Moscow. The government task force has recorded a total of 42,684 virus-related deaths since the start of the outbreak.
Russia’s total of over 2.4 million confirmed cases is currently the fourth-largest caseload in the world behind the United States, India and Brazil.

Politics › Sean Hannity Calls For President Donald Trump To Pardon Himself & His Family by Eddie4God(op): 8:58am On Dec 01, 2020

Fox News opinion host Sean Hannity called for President Donald Trump to pardon himself on two separate occasions on Monday.
Hannity hosted former national security adviser Michael Flynn's lawyer and former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell on his radio show. In the segment, the two praised Trump's decision to issue a full pardon for Flynn .
Hannity brought up the possibility of Trump pardoning himself and his family, saying, "the president out the door needs to pardon his whole family and himself because they want this witch hunt to go on in perpetuity."
"They're so full of rage and insanity against the president I assume that the power of the pardon is absolute and that he should be able to pardon anybody that he wants to," Hannity added.
Powell replied, "It is absolute, it's in the Constitution but I don't know about the ability to pardon himself."
On his Fox News show later in the evening, Hannity
harped on the same point with guest former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Referring to former special counsel Robert Mueller's
deputy Andrew Weissmann's New York Times op-ed
calling for prosecuting Trump once he is out of office, Hannity told Gingrich, "if that's what they wanna do, if Biden became president, I'd tell Trump, pardon yourself and pardon your family."
