Thanks Uncle Milty and JUburton. That being the case, it is incredible that they are projecting Biden to win the popular vote by almost seven percent. Clinton only won it by just over two percent. I still refuse to buy into any of the polls though.

correct. fun fact its only a 10% chance that trump wins a majority of votes. wonder if he'd be the first two term president to never get a majority. probably.

Bill Clinton


Damn Ross Perot!

Got an angry text that said: After Trumps remarks @ Shenksville, his supporters were on hand to chant “4 more years “.

Stay classy.

As you may be aware, the President recently issued an executive order allowing businesses to defer the employee share of Social Security payroll taxes from September 1 – December 31, 2020. (There’s a lot of additional small print BTW but let’s just leave it at that.)

Problem is the taxes are deferred now but payable later. In the long run, we think this will cause more headaches than it solves. For that reason, MyCompany has elected NOT to implement the deferral. That means you’ll keep paying your social security taxes just like you always have.


Good choice in my book. Kicking this down the road to make the next elected official look like a moron is not a good reason the owe later. I never gave much thought to the problem of changing jobs from a place that implemented the deferral and what happens in the future for collecting.

The whole thing is just a half-assed attempt to buy votes from knuckle-draggers like the jackass at 0:28 of the video below:

As a low-level Federal employee I don't have that choice... so can't wait for the backend of this nonsense.

“There’s probably, possibly, drugs involved,” Trump told Judge Jeanine Pirro on Fox News, with absolutely zero evidence. “That’s what I hear.” Pirro nodded along as he continued, “How is it possible that he can even go forward?”


And that is how Trump reverently spent 9/11. Performance enhancing drugs as why Trump is sliding. Crazy. Maybe he got into Don jr's stash.

Oops. Spelling is important. That is real, and was sent out but the campaign.

Maybe it is right, and he will win a Noble. He got a great shot when Trump4America, inc. creates this.

For anyone not using their Phan decoder ring this quote was from Trump about Biden.

And for anyone who could not figure that out, I am sad for you. This thread, this thread title, and the speaker. Seemed like the clues were all right there within reach.

Since trump's whole strategy is to just accuse the other guy of what he himself is doing I wonder what drugs Trump is on.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

This is true, altho a partial anomaly due to Perot getting 19% and 9% of the vote. 3rd party candidates of that level have been rare. Those are 2 of the 4 best performances of the last 100 years.

Think I'd feel pretty confident betting against biden in PA. unless he gets a massive amount more of AA vote than Hilary, he has no chance. Polls be damned.

HRC lost by 44k votes. That's nothing.
