(laughs) That's an amusing gif Lady Leslie contributed. I believe it's way too late to go back to being a colony of the U.K. now, LOL. I suppose the U.S. is still a world super power and I don't know if Ol' Blighty has any nukes at all...I don't think so...I'd rather not think about nukes. Sorry to bring that up. Especially knowing who's got access to the red button here now.
I read Biden already has way more electoral votes than D.T., and he's going to win ! How can they know that already? Sorry to display ignorance, but I wasn't a political science policy wonk. My thing is great literature.
I hope it's true !!
As was already noted, it makes one very nervous wondering what mischief and mayhem D.T. will get up to, should he not win, before the inaugeration.

I hope it’s true Susy! After the election, hoping he gets the Monopoly card, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200 million dollars !
May I ask about the box of Cheney food? Wondering how that came about?

It's not true. No one knows because votes have not been counted yet. Polls suggest he's likely to win, but hey, we all thought Hillary was going to win four years ago.
Take nothing for granted. VOTE.

Hillary DID win - the popular vote! It's the effing Electoral College that needs to be abolished!

I wonder why that story put that out there, Bruce. "Fake news"--deliberate lies. I'm nervous, getting the heebie jeebies over upcoming Election Day and see I'm not alone in that. My hopes go up and then get dashed a bit and then up again, repeatedly. It has seemed to take so long for Election Day to get here. Looking forward to it, to the mystery of who will win hopefully revealed, but dreading that if the outcome devastates. Yes, that can make one a bit of a nervous wreck. I need to see if there's a new updated "Pod Save America," am a Jon Favreau fan, especially and also like the other obsessed guys in the Pod. Some say watching these has helped keep them sane during this fraught time.
Got weirded out when the reality show Prez himself swung by my poor rural county recently for a quick rally! I never thought he'd go there, although Donald Trump Jr. has come twice, and Ivanka and Lara Trump. Was glad to see a lot of Biden Harris signs sprinkled throughout the old county seat town and saw a few in my town too.
I DID already vote--the straight Dem ticket, blue all the way.
My church are the ones who delivered that big box of produce with the letter from Trump enclosed. It would be interesting to find out where and how they got them. I thought we're supposed to have separation of church and state..one Sunday they said it was "pray for your President day" and they passed out little pix of Trump. I wasn't too thrilled about that. Of course, he does need a great deal of prayer, though. But I haven't observed that he's changed some things for the better. I kept hoping these four years he'd change for the better but those hopes dwindled considerably.

I've decided I'm not going to watch any news or read any news sites on Tuesday, I don't think I can take it as everything is already super stressful in the news leading up to Tuesday. All we can do now is hope the voters do the right thing.

My ballot has been received!
This can't come soon enough. Birx and Fauci are pleading for more action on the virus disaster. MrT is threatening to fire Fauci one of the countries top virologists. It has been determined by scientists that 142,000 people, didn't need to die, if we had followed the science protocols that countries such a Canada have followed. If we had 2 planes crash every day with 906 people dead/day, we would ground the airlines!!! This is insane. The average deaths per day, since covid began, is 906 Americans per day!!! We have almost lost as many Americans in less than a year, than all of the Americans lost during the 4+ years of World War 2. Please get out and vote.
Biden wants to use the Science to bring down the death rate to that of Canada. He has a plan. God Bless.

The big news is just "that little thing" that Biden as of now has 264 electoral votes, just "one state" away from winning the election ! With millions more votes to be counted, most mail-in votes which skewed heavily democrat ! Murphy's Law defeated this time, it seems ! I prayed and prayed Uncle Joe would triumph and my tangerine spray-painted tormentor of the past four years be banished, and of course also took practical action and voted the straight blue ticket. I really thought the election would be commented on, here, and was surprised it hasn't been, unless I overlooked it. Of course the Great Destroyer is trying to screw things up. Well, maybe he won't get to, this time. Perhaps his karmic bill has finally come due, one he can't escape paying.

I have been afraid to say too much for fear of "jinxing it!" I am "cautiously" optimistic!

Love it!
Once all the votes are counted, I will post something you'll get a kick out of!

We're getting close, folks. And news reports indicate that most of the people in the White House know it -- already starting to look for jobs -- even if the Orange Menace doesn't yet. But Biden will have trouble getting anything done if Republicans still control the Senate -- and that looks like it will come down to two runoff elections in Georgia. Want to help? Donate here.

Ah, to think of all the RWNJs that used to infest this board and how their heads must be assploding right now.
Carry on...
