Trump is holding a rally at the airport just over the hill from our place this afternoon, a half mile away as the crow flies.  Helicopters and jets flying in last night.  Roads locked down in the area early this morning.  I think it's going to be crazy this afternoon.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Still surprisingly few Biden signs here in the liberal shithole of Northern Virginia.

According to my ADS-B set, SAM942 from Dubuque, IA landed at Hickory, NC Regional Airport a few minutes ago.  No one in the press or crowd has caught on yet.  Overflow crowd in attendance.
SAM942 may just be a support aircraft.  VP Pence's 737-800 was also at Hickory earlier today for his rally up in Lenoir, NC.

Marine V-22 Ospreys and Marine One just flew overhead on their way back to Charlotte and Air Force One.

As of today, the stock market is predicting a Biden victory by a narrow margin.

If polls were elections we would had have
President HRC
President Kerry
President Gore
IIRC even Carter led Reagan in the polls until the last minute IIRC

Bush had a polling lead over Kerry for a solid 2 months leading up to the election

We get it. You don't like Trump and would prefer to have Harris/Biden win the election over the bad orange man. :facepalm:

Here is a fair and balanced link regarding stocks in contrast to the CNN link. They suggest stocks would rise under either president, with different sectors doing better or worse. 

Though for myself, I don't understand how Biden *expletive deleted*ing up capital gains taxes is good for investors. Partially my own biases since I already have to balance capital gains income and the income limit for part of my retirement dough. If capitol gains taxes go up and/or the income cutoff goes down, I'm going from steak to hamburgers.

The poll needs a "nobody" selection.  Regardless of the outcome, I think we all lose.  (I voted last Thursday for Orangeman)

This is probably the most divisive election since 1860 and I'm not going any further with that.

You don't like Trump
That's one poll I can confirm is 100% accurate.   ;)

And whether I want Trump to lose or not, that is what I expect to happen at this point. That was not always the case but polls have not tightened as much as I expected them to. I don't think it will be a blowout - I don't expect Trump to lose TX, GA, or FL like some are predicting but it wouldn't surprise me if he loses AZ. Throw in WI & MI and that costs him the election.

I do.  :laugh:

FTR, Fox Business is not Fox News, and I find the business side of Fox to be more analytical than the news side regarding, well, the news.

Temped to go back and see what you guys were saying in 2016 but that will probably turn into a far too much time consuming rabbit hole

Trumpslide2020!

Not tired of winning addition :cool:
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

The discussion is over.  We have the definitive answer:

Slick marketing. 
Winning side: "Yeah!  Show the losing side how much you are winning by buying lots of our product!"
Losing side: "Don't like losing?  Come buy lots of our product!"
