Entirely rational.

Legal = Lawful = Legitimate

Check the definitions presented form numerous dictionaries....

What is irrational is your cherry picking, goal post moving, dishonesty and general nonsense.

Why do you repeat what has already been thoroughly refuted... crushed and flushed over and over again?

A synonym is a word that can have much the same meaning as another word depending on who it can be used.

for example WEAPONS and ARMS can be synonyms depending on how they are used.

"the nations military force needs more powerful ARMS" and " the nations military force needs more powerful WEAPONS". The usage and context is the same so the word ARMS and WEAPONS are synonyms.

However, since the meaning of words can change depending on context and usage, the words ARMS and WEAPONS are not always synonyms . Like at this example of the same two words where their usage and context changes them and readers them different because of context an usage.

"I want to wrap my ARMS around you and hug you" and "I want to wrap my WEAPONS around you and just hug you"

Just because words can be sometimes synonyms does not mean they are always synonyms and depending on context and usage can have different and varied meanings.

The real puzzle is why you did not learn such basics in grade school?

Regarding your bogus formula of nonsense that LEGAL EQUALS LAWFUL EQUALS LEGITIMATE - German in the Thirties was a LEGAL government.
The German government passed LAWFUL laws which stripped people of rights and killed millions.
Now according to your silly formula, LEGAL EQUALS LAWFUL EQUALS LEGITIMATE making the Holocaust LEGITIMATE.

So tell us all how a person who pretends to be a libertarian believes in an equation which renders the Holocaust as LEGITIMATE?

You clearly do not know what the word DISHONEST means in replying ot the only re4levant part of a post.
You clearly do not know what the word CHERRY PICKING means in selecting the proper definition.
You clearly have no idea what PROJECTING means.

But your posts repeating the same crap over and over and over and over again for five weeks do personify the last part you wrote about.

Dishonest truncation, cherry picking, projection, goalpost moving, feigned ignorance, etc.

All dishonest tactics you have employed so far in this thread.

Trump is the legitimate President and none of your repeated and varied forms of dishonesty will change that.

They don't have to appeal to the law.

Legitimacy requires adherence to the rules.

If a contestant in a tournament cheats to win, but there is no law against cheating, they can be considered an illegitimate winner.

Here is where you detailed.

No. This is not a tournament. This is an election. LAWS would have to be established to determine how an individual would conduct themselves in an election. If no laws are broken...then one cannot be labeled as cheating.


The viewers can have rules of their own to determine legitimacy that are not written in law.[\QUOTE]

Which then means that is just their opinion and does NOT determine the actual legitimacy of a president. Again. People with opinions trying to act as if their opinions are laws. The electoral college was in place prior. Trump won. Period.

Another example, some type of steroids are legal in some sporting event. A competitor who uses these steroids gets first place while a competitor who doesn't use any steroids gets second place. The steroid-using player can be seen as illegitimate even if the competitions rules are okay with it.

A sporting event is not an election. It has no weight of law. Which is all that matters.

You guys seem to have a hard time understanding that individuals have their own subjective rules and those are the ones we use to assess legitimacy.
Click to expand...

An individuals "subjective rules" do not determine legitimacy. They must be stated beforehand and they cannot be subjective. This is not liberal tears for not winning the election via the established laws.

Maybe next time they will try and win over some of those electoral states that they ignore? You realize the point of the electoral college is so that a president must actually consider all states...and not just the few cities with high populations?
