Texas Files Lawsuit With SCOTUS

What I'm not sure I see is - the injury.

The injury is that by allowing election fraud, the corrupt states in question installed a President of the United States who wasn't duly elected, thereby disenfranchising the voters in the other states.

Let's say you are an Olympic figure skating judge:

There are (I don't know how many judges there are but for the sake of my argument let's say there are 10) judges from different countries. China really really wants their skater to take the Gold, so they pay off 6 judges to vote for the Chinese skater even if she falls on her ass. You, as the US judge, along with the 3 other judges who weren't paid off can clearly see that the Chinese skater is a disaster and the rightful winner of the gold is the French skater. But the corrupt judges have not only upvoted the Chinese skater, they have also downgraded the French skater as insurance. So now that French skater, who should have had a perfect score, doesn't even make it to 3rd place.

The injury is not only to the French skater, it injures the other skaters as well. AND it injures the judges who voted honestly by cheating to disenfranchise their vote.

I may have a problem with that analogy, but it's the first thing I thought of.

I hate to say this about someone I respect so deeply. Tilted was an educated, important, and reasoned voice in this forum. I find it hard to believe someone as wise as he would allow the election of Trump to force him to disappear.

Well, believe it because that's what happened.

I didn't say that he left the forums for that reason. Just that he was wrong.

Since there was also a bet made here in the forums in public, of which I was a part - I'd have at least liked to collect on that bet and or gloat a little bit! :biggrin:

I was the first one on the Trump Train here on the forums. :diva:

Yeah, it took me a while to come around to Trump. I still cringe at a lot of things he says.

I'm pretty certain Tilted left because he couldn't believe this is where the presidency went, and there were so many supporting him. Or, maybe he just got fed up with all of the nonsense going on here.

I only have to take a disappearance for such a slight reason to mean that he was not such an educated, important, and reasoned voice in this forum.
Just another Never-Trumper

One of the problems with getting too attached to strangers on the internet is that you don't really know them - you only know what they are presenting themselves to be. That's why so many pedophiles get busted by cops pretending to be 13 year old girls.

I actually know Tilted. If I saw him at the grocery store, I'd say hi and stop to chat with him. He IS a good guy and he IS highly intelligent and mostly reasoned. BUT everyone has their blindspot, and Trump is Tilted's.

Which is interesting because you'd think Trump as a President was tailor made for people like Tilted, but there you have it.

I don't doubt it, and I find it hard to understand why anyone especially someone with a brain would vote for Biden .
Why do they hate Trump? Is it jealousy, is it because he is rich, Is it because he has had 3 wives and is a horny old viagra dosed ass?

If one reads about Trump and the things he has done for people before becoming President. Loaning his plane and he was loved by blacks before he became President. He hasn't changed he is an as hole with a good heart.
So am I only I am far from rich. I like the guy. I find the angst of people who dislike him a bit on the crazy side.

Or it could be that he enjoyed a certain amount of authority on these forums and he was so wrong about Trump - his motivations and chance of becoming President - that he left out of embarrassment. Emperors and clothes and such.....

That was the case with another former member who gained a cult following, and when he was revealed as a charlatan he :slammed:.

Only disappointment can come from idolizing strangers on the internet. I have to keep reminding myself of that.

I don't idolize anyone. Well, except maybe you. :razz: I respect Tilted. He was always respectful, knowledgeable, and on point. I didn't read on inkling of arrogance or sense of "authority" from him. But, I'm certain you know him far more personally than I do. :notworthy

Tilted is not particularly arrogant that I'm aware of. But when you have a fan club who deems you infallible, it's hard to then go, "Huh, I guess I was wrong."


Or maybe it's just that he thinks anyone who supports Trump is a blithering idiot, and left because he can't stand to see anyone give Trump props. Who knows.

I miss Tilted when the discussions turn to SCOTUS. I learned go straight to whatever Scalia wrote, especially if it was a dissent, to read genius in action.

And like all sane Americans knew 3 weeks ago, President Elect Joe Biden

Or as trumpsters say ‘I always knew every one of those conservatives on the SCOTUS were deep state swamp dwellers, even the three trump appointed’

TRUMP’S ATTEMPT TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION HAS FAILED (AGAIN).

The lawsuit, that was brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, tried to invalidate the election results of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin. Tonight, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected this lawsuit.

The Court said, “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”. The court also said, “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.”

This is the second time that the U.S. Supreme Court has denied an attempt, by Trump, to overturn the election.

I was really surprised by that too. When we were at Tall Timbers during your last visit, I remember asking you what happened to Tilted. You said it was Trump's election. I was floored because I thought Tilted would've been fine with it.
