Nevermind. I'm done talking to you.
Because Trump DID sue for more transparency. Unless I misread the Detroit News article.
He was trying to get ballot counting stopped where his lead was vanishing. It has nothing to do with transparency.

I wonder why he didn't file any lawsuits in the states where he won. As our benevolent, fair President who seeks only to have fair elections, one would think that he would want to look into every state and ensure that every election was run properly and fairly.

I finally looked into these lawsuits. Most were about excluding ballots which is not at all about transparency. Two were about observers. One of the two was dismissed, and the other resulted in observers being allowed 14 feet closer than they had been previously allowed.
That's the big transparency win: Observers who were already there got to move 14 feet closer in one state.

It comes from the top. Trumpers are rabid followers. If Trump says the election was stolen, it was. Just look at people on this site. Even rational people turn into glassy eyes cult members when someone doubts their dear leader. Falcon91Wolvrn03 went from solidly logical to full conspiracy dude in a matter of months.
Hopefully the spell will break eventually

Stephens' denial of an injunction in Michigan came on the same day a Georgia judge dismissed a similar suit by Trump's campaign, finding no proof that ballots being processed in Chatham County had been received after 7 p.m. on Election Day.
But Trump continued to press the allegations during a Thursday evening press conference.
“Detroit and Philadelphia, known as two of the most corrupt political places anywhere in our country, easily, cannot be responsible for engineering the outcome of a presidential race,” the Republican president said.
Quote:
Further, in its filing, Trump's campaign failed to name a single absentee counting board preventing access to poll challengers, Assistant Attorney General Heather Meingast said.
Quote:
Stephens questioned the evidence the Trump campaign could provide to show poll challengers were disenfranchised. She also questioned an affidavit claiming Detroit poll workers were told to change dates on late absentee ballots.
"What I have at best is a hearsay affidavit, I believe, that addresses a harm that would be significant, but that’s what we got," Stephens said. "We’ve got an affidavit that is not firsthand knowledge.”
Remember that Steele Dossier with plenty of claims but little proof? Same same.
Edit, I've underlined the bits you might have missed

We don't even need to look further than that cringeworthy "my side" signature of yours for an example of spin.
Let's be clear here: (1) you have been vocally opposed to the Democratic establishment for years now, and (2) you voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election. I think treating politics like some sort of sport composed of opposing sides is an inadequate analogy; but if that's how you want to frame things, you chose your side when you cast your ballot for Trump. Continuing to pretend otherwise is spin #1.
Furthermore, instead of acknowledging criticism for the reasons behind your support of Trump, you so frequently spin it as people merely being upset with you personally for 'switching sides' that you installed it as your signature in a preemptive attack. That's spin #2.

It just occured to me. Trump is not going to leave the office unless he in handcuffs huh?
Ok lets go back to theoretical situations. Is it possible for Trump to sue his way into a 2nd term? Could he literally sue his way into proving he actually got more votes then Biden and tie this shit up in court for so many years that by the time Biden actually got a day in office it would be at the end of the Trump's second term?
A lot of people are saying Republicans have become so powerful that they will at this point block any attempts by the Democratic party to actually introduce any of their policies into the country any time soon without getting seriously blocked.
Then again Dems won the house right?
But I am absolutely convinced Trump will attempt to be the first person to block his exit out of the White House with a serious push on the Judicial system.
at this point who knows right?
You know the funny thing? As happy as I am to see him leave and want him to get the fuck out I do believe every American has a right to due process and should have their day in court.
Should he be allowed to sue his way into staying in office and declare the voter system a fraud? Should he be able to sue away the electoral system that actually gave him the lead over Hillary Clinton? Or this all a fantasy? But truthfully I think the American law system should be more tedious then it even is and people should take advantage of it more to use it to their benefit. Even if its a racist murdering child molesting big business capitalist like Donald Trump.
maybe he deserves another 4 years. This is fucking America right?

Even the “observer” suits are designed to stop or slow counting.

You're right I attributed that to Enlil by mistake when it was me who wrote it. I fixed it in my original post.

,,
F91W03, I have not only read ~90% of your posts this year, but also the same amount over the 6+ years I've been using this screen name. I haven't been posting but I've read all new posts weekly to every couple of weeks. There is nothing I misunderstand about any of it, imo.
Additionally, I've both seen your current sig and read you talking about it many, many times; I don't need to read it again nor discuss it much further. I understand the cross you wish the rest of us to recognize you bearing. At times I've agreed with you about your sig, at many other times I have not. Vehemently not.
An example of spin is in the two quotes in this post, one by you and the other by Enlil, posted about Enlil's viewpoints about three issues.
He frames it one way, you spin it a different--much more negative/nefarious--way, and the world keeps turning.
A second, quick example is the way you've characterized Donald's lawsuit. Although anecdotal, all but one person I've spoken to realises that donnie only cares about winning, not transparency. That viewpoint has been formed by 30+ years of donald's spoken and written words. His books, speeches, and interviews reinforce, and make obvious to many (most?), this viewpoint and it has zero to do with dishonest attacking or any made-up syndrome.
Yet, in his defense, you unsurprisingly spin it as a desire for transparency while neglecting the preponderance of evidence which has come straight from donnie's mouth, pen, and fingers for decades.
You can have the last word in your rebuttal to this post; I'll not argue it further with you if I can help myself. No matter how unbecoming I find your martyr complex, unending ego-driven propositions of bets, and near constant spinning of arguments, I don't find anything redeeming or positive about beating on you/your arguments and I wish you well.

Temporarily halted. Until we got more transparency.

Do you really wonder why? Someone remind me not to hire Enlil as my lawyer.
Quote:
Enlil said: I finally looked into these lawsuits. Most were about excluding ballots which is not at all about transparency.
Notice Enlil left out the details of what ballots Trump wanted excluded. The ones that didn't comply with state law as I previously explained.
Quote:
Enlil said: Two were about observers. One of the two was dismissed, and the other resulted in observers being allowed 14 feet closer than they had been previously allowed.
Again, leaving out the important details. The Michigan lawsuit was dismissed because "Michigan's count largely is completed" and because the judge argued "the responsibility to give that access ultimately lies with the local election officials". (I'll get to Stable Genius's argument shortly).

Actually, it comes from election officials not giving the country the transparency the country deserves. Just listen to Enlil defend our current system. He's saying it's ok not to have transparency because when it's not transparent vote counting isn't showing signs of cheating.

I never said the election was stolen. I said it's not transparent enough. I'm arguing for more transparency, and everyone here is arguing against that.
And asking for more transparency in our elections doesn't make me one "full conspiracy dude". I've asked Enlil this before in vain, can you PLEASE stop lying about me?

Once again, Trump sued to ensure the law was followed. If no proof of election fraud is found, then it's game over for Trump. We definitely need more transparency in our elections.

US intelligence relied on Steele Dossier until it was found to be bullshit much later. Now we're relying on the initial election results...
Again, I have no idea if any cheating was going on or not. I only know people are VERY much against more transparency so this type of thing doesn't happen in the first place.
