Can we get a poll for if we think:
Trump will flip enough states to win
Trump might flip a state but still loose
Trump flips no states, looses

You forgot one
Investigation is postponed until Pelosi assumes presidency

@DarkbeatK you can suggest them in <#725110151211778098>

My last suggestion of weather or not Candy Corn was delicious did not get used. 😦
Oh well, just gotta keep trying

My favorite holiday is Grant's Birthday.

Christmas and Hanukkah are not the same

I know but it's the same time of year. I wanted to include multiple religions holidays in the poll to see if people prefered the pure secular holidays or the combo holidays.

If you wanted to point out holidays I joined, Passover and Easter also not on the same day.

I dont understand needing to find issue and jump to conclusions about every little thing

I celebrate hanukkah. It is definitely different from Christmas, in terms of how you celebrate it. But, they have similar themes and teachings. We talk a lot about Jesus during Hanukkah. It's in the same season. Presents are also custom.

@Stargatemaster96 👌 that’s cool

Even though i like thanksgiving a lot, i wouldnt say its any better than any of the other holidays mentioned in the poll, with the possible exception of halloween. My family never celebrated halloween, so i dont really have as much of a love for it as other holidays (although, i do really like dressing up. There's just something about wearing a costume of a person who doesnt exist that is just so fun for me).

If Trump can get the decision to go to the courts I give it a 80-90% chance they vote him in. He just can't do anything stupid that makes him look bad while trying to expose Biden and company at the same time.
He just needs to get there now. It is an uphill climb, but not impossible.

He could, but i dont think he will.

I really want Trump to remain President but it just seems like the hill is too steep. Instead, I hope these court cases at least cement the senate majority that would limit any damage Biden might do.

Even if it doesn't go Trump's way, I hope the Supreme Court puts in safeguards against voter fraud.

Hopefully now that the supreme court has a solid majority they will finally start taking 2A cases.

If he wants a snowballs chance in hell at winning in the courts he needs a better legal team

I look forward to future safeguards against voter fraud as well

Picture this. Trump is no longer president (So you know, 4 years from now) and he establishes TNN. And he brings on Tucker Carlson as the lead anchor.

Donald Trump will be missed as a great President who's fought back against the mainstream media and culture.

I voted A and C, because you can do both at the same time. I don't think the media will accept him for his old job anymore, so B is right out. But he can start a media empire that talks about politics.

I think the media would try but Trump has been able to show that even when he steps back, he can still run a corporate empire. I imagine if the gets hands on again it will start growing again.

@Rocci No black pill, he will win, I know it!!!

My folks are still meeting for Thanksgiving. Some of those in the news say you need to start doing your two week quarantine yesterday and those in college shouldn't even come home for Thanksgiving because they are to high risk with their and ability to quarantine while still attending class. My family may be scared of COVID, but even they still expect my brother and I to come home.

Most of my extended family will not be coming in this year

We don't celebrate thanksgiving.

Why not? @Rocci

It's usually relating to my physical health, nothing much.

Oh ok

If not 2021 definitely 2024

@Froski, the death penalty poll question is good. I wrote a paper on it that you might find interesting.

I'm writing a paper on it now concerning the Death Penalty and Catholicism in the Courts.

@Froski, though I favor the death penalty in principle, it has two big problems: 1) the length of time between the commission of the offense and being put to death is generally over 20 years, thus eliminating any deterrent effect, and 2) the cost of prosecuting and the appeals for a death penalty case is WAY more expensive than life imprisonment.

Yeah. Basically, my disagreement usually is a moral/religious reason. As ACB put in a 1998 Law Review Article, from a Catholic standpoint, all life is sacred, since we are all made within the eyes of god. She then set up two categories: abortion/euthanasia & war/death penalty. Abortion and Euthanasia are wrong because you are taking an innocent life. However, when differentiating that category from the other, it was the concept of taking an innocent life versus stopping harm to victims. War stops harm to a victim, while the death penalty doesn't really have much purpose then putting someone to death to avoid further crime. The Catholic standpoint allows life sentences, since it is the same sort of punishment without the murder aspect. The issue I have is from a tax payer perspective. If tax payers are paying for someone to live in prison for the rest of their lives, is it a financially sound decision. It's like paying for a Netflix subscription you never use. Froshe's argument against that tends to be a repentance focus. That someone can still repent for their sins in that time of a life punishment, unlike a death penalty.

Economically, the life imprisonment makes much more sense.

Sounds like the Catholic perspective has morphed into its own thing as separate from the Bible which is very specific of eye for eye, tooth for tooth, that any murderer is to be put to death, no question. The Catholic perspective as you pose it therefore is unstable and subject to the whims of whoever approaches it.

@DannyNC1 That is old testament viewpoint. The new testament viewpoint is much different and actually counters that.

As for economically, if I was a teacher reading your paper, I would urge you to find out why it is the case that it is more expensive as you say for the cost of prosecution. Sounds like people that are too compassionate have set up the rules on purpose to dissuade from capital punishment.

“You have been heard that it was said ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on [your] right check, turn the other one to him as well.” Matthew 5:38-39

“But to you who hear I say, love your enemies do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic. 30Give to everyone who asks of you, and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back. 31Do to others as you have them do to you. 32For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.” Luke 6:27-33

“But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them ‘Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7

“Repay no one evil for evil. Have[a] regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord” Romans 12:17-19

“For rulers are not a cause of fear to good conduct, but to evil. Do you wish to have no fear of authority? Then do what is good and you will receive approval from it, 4for it is a servant of God for your good. But if you do evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword without purpose; it is the servant of God to inflict wrath on the evildoer.” Romans 13:3-4
