Markets seem to be back around 2% on Trump from their ~1% or so despite the deadline getting closer, not that they necessarily behave rationally. Interesting in any case.

Looks like we might in for a crazy week either way. If your goal is to calm down Trump supporters who believe (rightfully or wrongfully) that they've been robbed of an election, impeaching Trump with about a week left in office seems like one of the dumbest things someone could do but I guess we'll see.

Nobody is citing the protestors in front of the capitol building. People are citing those who unlawfully entered in the attempt to preform an insurrection.

It’s actually sad you’d even use this whataboutism when the severity of outcomes are much more severe for an insurrection of Democratic values versus destruction of individualized capitalistic businesses.

We don't negotiate with terrorists.

'but what about unity'

We can unite when the fascists who stormed congress are in jail and traitors like Hawley and Bobert and Cruz have been expelled from the House and Senate. People died. Trump and Giuliani and co incited a violent insurrection/coup attempt.

Fox News reporting that McConnell is done with Trump and furious with him. Combination of costing him his position as Senate Majority leader and the coup attempt I guess.

Also saw an article that Pence is 'done with Trump's bullshit' on Politicalwire and won't go to bat for him anymore after he put his life in danger so Pence isn't going to be pardoning Trump any time soon I assume if he gets removed

I guess we do have two decent markets to bet on now, is Trump removed before finishing his term (unlikely due to timing imo) and does Trump attempt a self pardon (no idea) or pardon any family members

Going to be a fun few years of the right eating itself as the Trump wing goes to war with the Republican establishment

Trump is an ass hat but pretty ridiculous for democrats to go on about inciting violence when people like Maxine Waters, Pelosi ,Corey Booker among several other prominent ones have been inciting violence for quite sometime. Also not accepting election results? Democrats have claimed Trump is a Russian and illegitimate president for his entire term.

For example Maxine Waters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJCDe7vdFfw

Corey Booker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbOLirjJCGw

you guys seem to think this will all stop once Trump leaves

for some reason you think Trump is the cause of all this lol

you think all these disenfranchised people were created over night and not from the years of abuse by the media/politicians lol

just look at this horseshit forum for example

the politics section is a reflection of society where sanctimonious people try to beat you down with their shitty ideals

it's basically split into 2 camps

people who want to be left alone and people who want to force their horseshit into other people's mouths

which camp does the guy who has hundreds of posts in this thread but zero dollars bet fall under?

which camp does the guy who types "lol" in 90% of his posts in an attempt to ridicule the view of another poster fall under?

lol

anyways fwiw if you make 100s of post in a thread tbh you shouldn't be betting on it

lol

you spend hours a week on a gambling forum not gambling and telling people their opinions suck in places that aren't even asking for it (this betting thread and you claiming it as a soapbox for your infallible political biases LOL) and you have the gall to say the above

Who said I don't gamble? most of my income comes from it lol

I just don't bet on politics and the reason for that is because I know I'm super biased even If I can't see it

that's the reason

I was laughing at the fact that most of you think you are objective when I can see the same emotion I bring in every one of your posts

ps : I doubt I even spend an hour on this forum a week but w.e lol

Emotion in my post is from the joy I get out of laughing at your hypocrisy

Nobody is claiming to be objective. What you are doing with that is actually “forcing your horse **** into other peoples mouths “

It’s just amazing to me that throughout this thread you’ve posted hundreds of times desperately seeking “gotchas” with your stationary POV

You don’t post in the politics forum because you can’t provide anything meaningful or even coherent from why you think the way that you do. You do post in the COVID thread in BFI so you can +1 and piggyback the clearly right biases in that thread from people who are smarter and better at expressing their views than you are. You are the one seeking a sanctimonious circle jerk

All you add to that discussion is “yeah lockdowns suck. Lol freedom” You questioning the intelligence of other posters as what appears to be your hobby is sad. You are likely not a very intelligent person

lol you only post in this thread on the SB and seem to be following me around on other sections reading my posts for some reason

but you do you brother you are clearly not invested in this at all

I'm a regular in the SB since that's where my money comes from and the BFI is basically the same thing

either way idk why you even reply to me because you only ever attack me personally instead of my posts themselves

it's basically the same tactic used by clowns like you

"wow you're stupid and wrong" without actually ever posting a proper critique

Wow you're stupid and wrong is a fitting and appropriate reply to all of your posts though lvr

If you have no interest in betting on politics and didn't bet on the 2020 election why are you posting in this thread

It'd be like me wandering over to a tennis thread to give my opinions even though I don't bet on tennis and have no plans to bet on tennis

I read politics and BFI. I remember your posts because you are a net negative in every thread you post in, as you never add new info to any topics at hand. You just fling **** at people who don’t share your views and lol at them.

I don’t post in other threads on this board because, get this, I DONT BET SPORTS SO I DONT VIEW OR POST IN THOSE THREADS. Crazy, right?

I have 50k of action that is still ongoing from this thread alone. You have openly said you have zero action. You are saying that I’m not invested in this at all? How stupid are you to even want to call me out for possibly not being invested when you’re the guy who has openly stated he has nothing invested in this election beyond his emotions?

I think these videos are fake. There is no way dems would have reacted the way they have towards trump if there are so many in their ranks who have more openly encouraged violence against elected officials than trump did. I think all of these types of fake videos of dems openly encouraging the violent riots of 2020 are also fake and whoever is doing these fake videos should be punished as they have made 50 or so videos allegedly showing different dem politicians supporting violent protests and as we've seen over the last week they are against violent riots.

You really feed into my morbid curiosity of people who don’t cling onto reality ivr

I viewed your post history and you’ve posted once in sportsbetting outside of this thread (211 posts here LOL) since you started your posting spree at the end of October itt. That post was just to mention that you used to play CS:GO

So you are NOT a regular poster in this forum. I’m also going to assume that you’re NOT profitable betting sports because, well... you’re you. A “stupid and wrong” person who lies on the internet

I mean, obviously calming down Trump supporters is not the goal of impeachment.

I am certainly no LVR fan and have no dog in this fight but posts and sentiments like this are so brutal. If he’s so obviously wrong then just prove him wrong. I don’t know what is with the left and looking up peoples post history. You see it on Reddit all the time too. And the snark and condescension...like you’re some brainiac. This discussion is and has been aids for quite some time and I’d like for both of you to either make out, fight each other or move on. It’s a bad look for the two of you certainly, but also for this board and even the whole internet in general. You guys are making the INTERNET look bad for Christ sake!

Now there is a tweet from 2016 that has gone viral that is allegedly from nancy pelosi that says the 2016 election was rigged/stolen. I think the exact word is that it was "hijacked" and she calls on congress to overturn the election.

I have good reason to believe that this is a fake tweet. There is no way all these dems have done exactly what they have accused trump of doing and are impeaching him for it.

The tone of my post reflects the situation I'm in and the person that I'm addressing.

You have no dog in this fight. "What it is with the left"

Snark and condescension, a problem of the left. Mentioning not being a fan of ivr, someone whose entire posting history is snark and condescension. Not to mention your entire post which is overflowing of snark and condescension. "What it is with the left"

Ok, thanks for inserting your awfully biased opinion that masquerades as a non-biased opinion into this. What is it with the right and doing that?

The election is over. It's time to stop the fighting and wind this thread down. Democrats, stop calling Trump voters racist. Trump voters, stop calling Democrats devil-worshipping pedophiles. It's not right. They are clearly just devil-pedo adjacent. And you know what, that's OK because they aren't doing any actual touching just as most Trump voters are not actual Nazis. Now let's close this thread and those who still want to battle take it to the politics forum. Thank you!

lol like I said

one of us is heavily invested in this

Just remember all I said was that this stuff wont stop even after Trump leaves and then you went into this weirdo **** without say why it wont but w.e

I mainly only post in this section and have never seen you till this day so I could try to prove why I do bet or I can just ignore it lol

you are wild if you think this will stop lol

it only gets worse from here tbh

especially after all that has happened

How does it get worse from here? You think the far right is going to just start taking over the capital building every weekend? Do you think dem politicians are going to continue to encourage rioting from left leaning people while they are in control of all 3 branches?

This is a betting thread define worse and we can set some lines

*I do think there will be some right wing unrest/possible domestic terrorist attacks or attempted assassinations on D politicians etc, and Covid will probably take most of 2021 for the US to recover from/get enough people vaccinated
