The War Room Bet Thread V3

[waiguoren]

Next peak approval rating meaning the next highest approval rating higher than the current one and before it goes down again?

Excellent question. It's probably a poor word choice. I'll have to revise that:

@Jack V Savage

Bet offer:

President Trump's approval rating (RCP average) will be greater than or equal to 45.0%---his highest approval rating since inauguration---within the next month.

 

[Jack V Savage]

6 months is a very short window on this.

Russler has zero chance to win that.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Does anyone want to make a side bet? One million year AV, name, and sig that Lowman wins his bet with Russler. @Lead, @waiguoren

I actually found your original wording more interesting. It implied the push Trump will get from now being able to go on the offensive for a limited period of time (until the narrative gets murkier again).

Pretty sure @waiguoren just creamed himself at the thought of a million year bet

Keep in mind because of the lifetime bet we had early on with Jack and can’t remember their name, that time is capped off eventually (5 years). I think that’s why Wai picked that length with polish but I could be wrong.

Damn. Well, five years it is, then.

A revision to the OP rules are going to be showing up shortly for any bets going forward. Still working on it.

I cap him as a significant underdog.

 

[Jack V Savage]

I cap him as a significant underdog.

I cap him as an obvious troll.

 

[waiguoren]

I don't think he's a troll. I think he's a smart guy who gets carried away sometimes. Probably similar to the way you used to view PolishHeadlock (RIP).

@Jack V Savage

Bet offer:

Bernard Sanders will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2020.

Okay, now I think you're a troll.

Avatar bet with @Lowmanproblems

Within 6 months, DOJ will announce indictments for ANY of Comey, Strzok, McCabe, Ohr, Page, Yates, Lynch, Obama, Brennan, Clapper, or other progenitors of the “Russia Collusion” investigation.

If I win, he changes his av to Trump in a MAGA hat.

If he wins, I’ll change my av to a candidate of his choice.

Loser sports the av for 3 months. Deal?

lmao at Obama

 

[JamesRussler]

lmao at Obama

Clapper or Brennan (can’t remember which) directly implicated Obama. Strzok and Page also confirmed the White House’s involvement during their depositions.

Ok, don't hold your breath.

I’m not. I never expect the justice system to work properly for powerful people.

#31. @waiguoren v. @andnowweknow
1. Roger Stone will be indicted and convicted on at least one charge brought by Robert Mueller's team for Trump/Russia coordination/collusion/conspiracy.
2. andnowweknow- for, waiguoren- against
3. At the conclusion of Stone's trial, if it happens. If not, at the end of the Mueller investigation.
4. Sig bet
5. 10 months
6. The conviction needs to be for coordination/collusion/conspiracy between Trump/Russia. For example: treason, conspiracy to defraud the USA, or conspiracy to commit an offense against the USA by coordinating with the Russian state would all give the win to andnowweknow. Tax fraud as in the Manafort case would not count. Perjury would not count. If Stone signs a plea agreement for any reason, the bet is a push.
*Lead also reserves the right to have participants add two additional mods to decide who won if it's contested.

This one is settled. Mueller did not issue any more indictments. Stone's indictments were not for coordination/collusion/conspiracy between Trump/Russia.
