I’m not predicting the future, Jesus Christ dude where have I ever claimed to know what they’re going to do??
Right now, it could go either way. But you seem to have no interest in even entertaining the thought that they might rule in favor of Trump, and you’re literally saying that there is no value in speculating. Fuck that.
The ultimate conclusion of your thought process here is that it’s never any use in speculating and making plans based on that speculation, unless you know for sure what the outcome is going to be. Do you not see how absurd that is? Of course I don’t know what they are going to do, but I can speculate based on past/recent behaviors. I can even attach estimated probabilities to those outcomes (how accurate they may be is a different discussion).
This whole, “we don’t know for sure how they will rule, so until then we will do nothing and will make plans for neither outcome,” shit is silly. Nobody thinks like that in real life. Not successful politicians at least.
This is what politics is. People try to predict what the other side may or may not do given the current circumstances and then make plans (and backup plans, and backups of backup plans, etc.) to react once those decisions are made.
Anyway, there is a very real chance that they will rule in favor of Trump and it is important to plan for that possibility. I think the recent behavior of this specific court has shown time and time again that they simply Do. Not. Care.
I’m not sure why you even took issue with what I was saying in the first place other than to just pick a fight. I never claimed to know the future, that entire thing was just a strawman. Starting to wonder if any of this is good faith.

I’m afraid you have the order of things wrong. This started when you took issue with what I had said. I was not talking to you when you initially replied to me.
So if anything, this is a question you should be asking yourself.
That’s not even fucking true dude, your first comment in this particular thread was a reply to mine taking issue with what I said.
How many sockpuppet accounts do you have at this point? I don’t believe, for a moment, that there is anyone but you and I that cares enough about the comments this deep in an already meaningless argument to even bother reading, let alone upvoting/downvoting this far into this nonsense thread. I see you everywhere on this site, and now I think I have an idea as to why/how.
Good luck with all that, I guess. Everyone needs a hobby.
And yeah I already told you. Nobody but you is downvoting comments this far deep in such a banal and pointless thread from several days ago, and my comments aren’t at 0, they’re lower than that.
Been some time since I’ve used lemmy on a web browser, but unless I’m mistaken, if you were logged into your FlyingSquid account when this screenshot was taken, the username would be highlighted in some way.
This literally looks like a screenshot of you using a sockpuppet account lol
You literally posted a screenshot where your comments are upvoted despite not being logged into that account… Again with this “lies” shit. It’s real weird, dude. Why the fuck would I lie when I don’t even know what this thread was even originally about at this point? I misremembered how it began, because it was a throwaway comment I made 4 fucking days ago.
It’s funny, because I see your comments around and I often agree completely with what you’re saying. I have found it very bizarre and bemusing that you’ve continued with this strangely antagonistic comment thread for so long.

I’m pretty sure this all started because I speculated.
Also, you seem to be the one “coming in real hot” right now based on that first paragraph.
Also:
I never said anything about doing nothing, so I agree. That is silly. I’m just not sure why you’re telling me it’s silly.
OK, bud.

That is a lie.
And why on Earth do you think I have sockpuppet accounts?
Is this your job?
And yeah I already told you. Nobody but you is downvoting comments this far deep in such a banal and pointless thread from several days ago, and my comments aren’t at 0, they’re lower than that.
I haven’t downvoted anything. That is another lie.
K. Is this your job?

Okay, well you are the expert here. It was definitely the sockpuppet accounts I must have. That couldn’t possibly be another one of your lies.

Are you an LLM? Lol only half joking.
