Obviously, a Biden win has Trump going ape shit and turning this into a huge legal battle. So who knows that route when it would actually be official. Regardless, if they call it for Biden I'm going to make a Sous Vide Rib Eye some home made 5 cheese Mac & Cheese and crack open a DIPA. If Trump somehow manages to win, I'm not a liquor person but I might make an exception with a bottle of Don Juilo silver Tequila. Not for ice cold shots with salt and lime, more of a straight chug chug chug thing. Or at the very least pounding the entire 6 pack of the DIPA I'd be enjoying 1 or 2 of if Biden wins (10.5%'ish alcohol)

I thought 2016 was the most I would ever be invested in an election. I took it pretty hard when Trump won. 2020 I feel my life's on the line here. I'm hoping to have my steak dinner tonight. Takes about 2.5 hours to Sous Vide the steak. If the results aren't in until 10, I'm okay with a 1AM dinner to celebrate.

To the rest of the world, be glad you don't live here right now. I understand Trump winning would still have an effect on the rest of the world. But living in the Trump epicenter's pure madness. I need to go check the latest results from the "Poles"

I can't fucking believe the POTUS said poles AND he capitalized the P, so embarassing.

I'm leaning more towards several large grilled ribeye steaks, steak fries, grilled asparagus, followed by a Covid Free pre-tested orgy involving no less than 10 sets of blonde and redhead twin sisters..

And yes, there will be massive amounts of tequila involved.
:cool:

There were, emphasis on were, some good people in unions.

Unions had their purpose, getting kids out of coal minds, out of textile plants, etc., but that does not justify their existence since the 30's or 40's.

Interesting. We agree on something ;)

Here is what I will do....

If Biden wins, I plan to do what no Democrat was able to do for Trump... I am going to support our new democrat president and wish him the best for the sake of our countries people. Give him every opportunity to do his job.

If Trump wins, and at this point it will mostlikely take evidence and/or proof of democrat persuaded voter fraud on a massive scale, I am going to prettymich eliminate the democrat side as a viable choice for the foreseeable future...

Either way, I will go on living...

Most people recognize the signature of a relatively normal human being. Trump had none. Then he was never president.

Ah yes, Donald Trump was never given a fair chance to shine and act like a true President, it's what led him down a dark path of white supremacy, golfing and ego-inflation 24/7. He was never like that before!

BUT HE DID FUCK IT UP!

That's the crazy thing. People rate him higher for handling the economy, but its clearly a disaster right now with record unemployment and the loss of several years of stock market gain because he failed with the COVID response.
Not to mention the huge US deficit that just keeps on going.

Even though it's probably going to Biden, I don't think the election can be called until after all the recounts and legal maneuvers are complete. I just can't believe how close this election was. Wasn't expecting that. I think we're 30 days -/+ from having this settled. Would not be a bit surprised. Life goes on no matter who wins. As long as I can have confidence that all the votes were properly counted, I'll accept the results.

It looks like the only potential recount will be in GA, maybe even NC if it somehow edges close, but it would be pointless, anyway. recounting GA would still be pointless, because Biden wins anyway, and the margin in PA and MI and Wisconsin are beyond allowable recalls.

One has to wonder why Donny Thinskins would want to order a recall anyway--so he can effectively lose twice in a single election? Possibly even lose votes? lol

I wish that I had fire works for tonight. I would go out at 9:00 and CELEBRATE. My neighbors are 80% Trump-aholics

maybe drop off a few cases of Sterno on their front porch to help them cope over the next painfully sober months? Now that the Trumpahol is dried up?

I was walking my dog when the media made the call. Got a couple texts about that then two minutes later as I'm a block from home, I hear a guy yelling from inside his house "Fuck that motherfucker Donald Trump!"

Then I grabbed my bike and headed into the city to ride. Met a friend at prospect park in Brooklyn at 1pm and it was a party! Throughout the city people would just start cheering, honking their horns on celebration. I'm in the West Village getting ready to head home and people are still honking, I'm sitting outside a falafel joint and somebody just drove by yelling Fuck Donald Trump.

It's fantastic. What a vibe. Gonna take the train home and pour myself a drink

it's almost as if everyone opposing trump knew he was a disaster in 2016, and then he spent the next 4 years proving them all right. why support someone who is opposed to virtually every piece of morality and ethics you possess? this isn't just "i disagree with their decision, but i understand and respect it because it's well-informed". this is "the president is clearly a horrible human being, who relishes in being petty, serving himself, and who has no humanity or empathy"

I'm pretty sure the Biden supporters saying goodbye at the white house right now outnumber the number of people he had at his inauguration!

Also, to the person that hinted that no one told him congratulations or gave him a chance.... thats total BS. Trump had majority in house and senate. The guy still couldn't get done what he promised. His wall is a joke. He didnt come up with a Healthcare plan. All he cared about was enriching himself. If he would have done anything good, he would have had support.

They stole this election plain and simple. We are no different than Russia, China, N. Korea. The Chinese own us. And apparently now even our politicians.
Thankfully I don't have any kids that are going to experience the complete collapse of this country. I am 39 and hope that I am able to live out the rest of my life without having to endure the inevitable collapse to third world country living standards.
