So my bet with a Trump Chump friend ended yesterday...

So a Trump chump I know bet me 100 bux that Nancy Pelosi would be arrested by yesterday, March 3rd. So today, I sent him a message asking him where Nancy Pelosi was. I swear, he responded that she was locked up in jail. i responded with her office phone number and a Politico ad showing her yesterday, standing on the steps of the capitol building, holding an American flag.

He's agreed to pay up, and that he'll be in Baltimore "later today". Mmmmmm hmmmmm. I'll believe it when i see it

Despite 50+ year relationships, I have no need for that kind of "friend."

Won $100 from a trumpster over the former guy. Stand up guy that he is he paid off.
Gave it back because his wifes recent serious medical condition. Told him he is going to learn the hard way why this country needs single payer health care. Informed him that even though we both have excellent insurance he very well could be bankrupt once his family comes out of the other side of his family's devastating journey through the health care system.

Sometimes I just hate being right.

Maybe they got Melania Trump's double (now that she's out of work) to "be" Nancy Pelosi.

They were dumb.

Although sometimes I think Melania would have been happy to have a double stand in for her. Maybe she still does.

I watched it live. She said that they let the rethugs have the day off so they could meet in person with each other. Democrats had their meeting via Zoom. That proves the date and time in case anybody tries to say that it was prerecorded.

rethugs sure love their super-spreaders, don't they?

Who claim God has told them Trump is taking the White House back this year trying to make $100 bets that he won't, and I've had no takers even when I said the bets would be made in the winner's name to a favored charity (theirs could be anything; mine would be a ferret rescue so they didn't have to worry about their money going to something against their religion, and if ferrets are against their religion then they're monsters) and even offering odds. No takers. One guy did tell me that he's made a thousand dollar bet that Trump will be back in power by the first of April (he was serious and did not see the irony of April Fool's Day).

There was more than one channel I found that was predicting Obama as the AntiChrist, and he would somehow stay in office, and be a Satanic worshipping dictator over America.

Sad part is there was more than one black American with a channel saying this. One a black woman and her younger daugher who she was indoctrinating. Claimed she had dreams sent by God. Nightmares actually of the evil Obama lording over the whole world causing death and destruction. I wrote in the comments how I was going to come back after Obama left office to check in. I never did, but wow, once you start searching on there, that rabbit hole is deep.

And the problem with the YouTube algorithms is once someone starts following one of those nutjobs, they will start to only get other CT anti-Democratic channels as your other choices. I fear my sister and her husband are falling down the rabbit hole. They don't have any cable TV, just Netflix and their YouTube algorithm catered pro-Trump channels

Name of the alarm is the email address of some guy who I can't remember exactly what I was going to contact him about except it's more than likely a prediction about Trump taking power back by then. I'll need to sludge through my YouTube comments to get the specific details.

Good for you. I'm guessing that he'll find some side door escape hatch to avoid paying up. If I had any of knucklehead's supporters in my circle of friends, I'd be sure to have them write down just what they think is going to happen, and the date by which it will happen. That way, when it doesn't materialize (and everyone's over the utter shockingness of it all), you have the bet in their own writing.
