Why can’t it be both? He’s definitely capable of moods where he’s pretty sensible and those where he’s brain off, mouth open, mind made up. Maybe like **HBDC** he’s into microdosing. Until he megadoses then Mr. Hyde comes out to play. ---

It’s entirely your own fault for reading his posts. You need to take responsibility for the words you peruse, and stop blaming the writer. ---

That’s why I’ve had him on ignore for a long time. He posts nothing of value. Its like watching a YouTube channel that just shows dogs defecating. ---

I’m having trouble finding that YouTube channel. Do you have a link? > [@Pleonast](#): > > You need to take responsibility for the words you peruse, and stop blaming the writer. That is excellent advice. While I do blame the writer, this made me realize that I should start using the ignore function. Thank you. ---

There seems to be a broad blind spot in **Magiver’s** understanding of the true activities that took place in Washington DC on January 6th. I’d like to offer a few resources to help him fill in those gaps: > **[Comprehensive Timeline on False Electors Scheme in 2020 Presidential Election](https://www.justsecurity.org/81939/timeline-false-electors/)** > > The most comprehensive factual record of former President Donald Trump and his close associates coordination of the false electors scheme. > **[Backgrounder on Alternate Electors Scheme: Federal and State Criminal...](https://www.justsecurity.org/81958/backgrounder-on-alternate-electors-scheme-federal-and-state-criminal-investigations-and-civil-suits/)** > > Information on federal and state criminal laws that might apply to false alternate electors plan in 2020 election, and ongoing litigation. > **[A Historical Perspective on Alternate Electors: Lessons from Hayes-Tiden](https://www.justsecurity.org/82233/a-historical-perspective-on-alternate-electors-lessons-from-hayes-tiden/)** > > Lessons that a historical example of alternate slates of electors holds for wielding criminal law today. > **[Trump fake electors plot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_fake_electors_plot)** > > The Trump fake electors plot was a scheme to submit illegitimate certificates of ascertainment to falsely claim U.S. president Donald Trump had won the Electoral College vote in certain states, following Trump's loss in the 2020 United States presidential election.

Hope that helps. Background: ``` https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ohios-anti-trans-brigade-continues/1010861/107?u=davidnrockies ``` And a few quotes that may help TL;DR it: _““[T]he defendant stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes,” Pearce wrote. “No other president has engaged in conspiracy and obstruction to overturn valid election results and illegitimately retain power.””_ _“Pearce also cited a list of historical elections referenced by Trump’s legal team in their own filings, as Politico noted. These elections, which included those from 1800 and 1960, saw controversies surrounding slates of electors at their core.”_ _“Notably absent from any of these historical episodes, however, is any attempt by any person to use fraud and deceit to obstruct or defeat the governmental function that would result in the certification of the lawful winner of a presidential election,” Pearce concluded. “The existence throughout history of legitimate electoral disputes does not validate the defendant’s corrupt and dishonest actions any more than the existence of legitimate investment offers validates the creation of a criminal Ponzi scheme.”_ [END] Trump’s ‘alternate electors’ were also NOT ‘duly elected and qualified’ Electors. They were party loyalists and stooges. That’s why so many of them are currently under indictment for Fraud. I hope that helps. ---

I don’t know. I mean sure, it’s no stretch that he supported what happened that day, but he also is just that stupid, they’re not mutually exclusive. I mean this is the man who argued double punching chimpanzees violating the basic laws of physics and what was it exactly with Benghazi again, parachuting special forces on armed motorcycles Chuck Norris style as a plausible response? ---
