With a few character changes, this seems to be a loose biography of my life.

You know you're really dim-witted when? (You actually think a defeated President can successfully REFUSE to step down)
by Terry inwhen you're easily convinced about a total impossibility.. such as what?.
such as a defeated president actually being able to refuse.
to step down from office.

There is nothing more the left would like to see but the military to knock down the doors on the white house, Gerard Butler style while Trump with his Tommy Gun shoots at the door of the oval office screaming "say hello to my little friend".
None of that is going to happen, it's Democrat wishful thinking. What will happen is that Trump will win on the day of election and Antifa/BLM/Democrat terrorists are going to fail an attempt at a coup, with a few dozen of them shot down on the lawn of the White House.
This event, totally self-inflicted, will be used for another 4 years to delegitimize everything Trump does because these were going to be "unarmed and peaceful protestors" while Pelosi and co wash their hands of the many bloodshed they've caused already.

A Growing Problem for Materialists
by Sea Breeze inthe famous double-slit experiment proves that light travels both in individual particles called photons and also as a mathematical probability wave.
matter itself exhibits this particle-wave duality which allows objects to exist in two different places at the same time, depending on whether of not you are looking (testing) at it.
scientists have recently been able to get molecules as large as 2000 atoms to exhibit this duality!.

@SeaBreeze you are confusing information as we understand it (bits and bytes, words etc) with what information actually is - energy.
Energy doesn't have to be organized (think of a controlled explosion) to create something that is (what we perceive to be) useful. Energy is only useful, because we believe it is useful, but the Universe doesn't know, not even an ant really cares, what we think is useful.
We only know we are here because we can perceive these things, not the other way around, causation only goes in one direction, yes you can rewind, but not without knowing the state of the entire universe(s) at any point in time and thus our state being outside these universe(s).
Once you understand that any 'god' would have to be outside this universe, would you understand the impossibility of a 'god' as a generator of energy. We know this as this 'god' that creates the energy (or information, whatever you'd like to call it) would have to obey the laws of this universe once it enters into it to affect it, and thus becomes a part of the causality, that is what it means to collapse the waveform after all since you cannot interact with the waveform without collapsing it.
It's a bit hard to understand if you are primed to see a god in all this, but basically, a god with a destined goal would violate the laws of thermodynamics to generate the universe as no energy/information can be generated, only transformed and our Universe really does add up to zero energy, which is very simplistically implied by Newton's 3rd law.
Say we take your god-person and he conforms to Newton's laws, then where did that god-person get or create the energy to begin with? At least with a zero-sum Universe where every action has an equal and opposite reaction, you don't need to explain the god-person at all, he's just a zero-sum added complexity.
PS: I do know that Newton's Third Law doesn't exactly apply at these scales, but is a simplified case of Einstein's theories on relativity.

Is Nicolas King still active/in good standing?
by neat blue dog inon a temporary public instagram story he said he misses wearing suits, and wonders if he can fit into one still.. however as most american jws know, suit jackets are almost universally required to give parts on meetings, even a simple bible reading (zoom meetings included).
i always wondered how he could be on the school anyway, with such a busy schedule he had going from one casino, etc.
even weekly door to door would be next to impossible.. .

A president is installed only if the electoral system doesn't come to a result and it takes either the House/Senate or the SCOTUS at which point they may choose ANY president, not any of the candidates.
Hence when RBG said she wants to 'install' a president, that means she found neither candidate qualified and would choose a different president altogether.
I am fairly convinced the Democrat party has already made this the case, if Biden 'wins', the Democrats will replace Biden right at the electoral college and install their own candidate (Biden is only the Manchurian Candidate). If the election becomes a tie, they'll do it either at the House or SCOTUS levels.
Both Biden and Harris have let these facts slip already, when they both called it the "Harris administration".

@Fink: Hunter Biden flew around the world on these 'business trips' on the governments dime when Biden was in the VP position, 411 times to be exact in the first 4 years of Obama alone.
Hunter and others have indicated Joe knew damn well what was going on and either ignored it or accepted it
Hunter Biden discusses it with his father, which gives him the go-ahead "I hope you know what you're doing"
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hunter-biden-ukraine/what-hunter-biden-did-on-the-board-of-ukrainian-energy-company-burisma-idUSKBN1WX1P7
Staffers alerted Joe Biden of the impropriety
Joe Biden lies and says he doesn't know days after his son said Joe gave him the go-ahead
Quid pro quo Joe is enabled if not approved of his son's affairs and either directly or indirectly benefited from Hunter's dealings
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407
Note that many of the above (WaPo, RCP, Politico etc) are left if not far-left news sources and these facts are actually intended to be used against Joe Biden during the Democrat nomination process.

Why it's good to discuss politics (but if you don't want to, you don't have to)
by LoveUniHateExams ini was reading through this site the other day and came across several posts by different posters lamenting this site, saying what a shame it has gone from debating jw believers to talking politics and current affairs.. there are a few issues i have with these kind of posts.. first, discussing politics is actually a good thing.
well, in case you haven't noticed, we in the west are going through a culture war.
certain groups of far-leftists are trying - and sometimes succeeding - to shut down free discussion.

The US government protects against all sorts of majorities. States are sovereign entities in the US.
The president is elected by a majority of state representatives
The senate is elected by a majority of the population within the states but limited to 2 senators per state
The house is elected by a majority of the population outright
Thus you have a bicameral system where neither the 'mob' nor the 'state' has a legislative majority.
