IIRC he did predict a trump landslide months ago, maybe even when Biden was still in the race. Also IIRC again he said he wasn't going to post much but would be back to gloat when the orange bag of trans fats wins. 

I guess he was lying about the bolded part above. LOL

If anyone makes shit up for pointless and baseless attacks, it's you. It's one of your main tactics for wearing people down so they will give up. By the way, just because you don't realize that attacking someone for being gay for derision and insult is, by definition, homophobic does not mean you are not homophobic. You most definitely are homophobic because if you were not, you wouldn't use it as a form of attack.
Hilarious. He doesn't get it, then makes two posts to validate the criticism. So self unaware it's frightening. LOL.

Besides, who calls women "gals" these days? I bet he has to beat them off with a stick. Or beat off something. LOL.

Not that there would be anything wrong with that!

Man, you are absolutely hilarious.
A real tough guy would have laughed at what trump did with the microphone, not deny it.

Well, it's either we're done with the guy for good, or four more years of chaos. 

Personally, I am sick of what politics has become because of Trump. Go back and listen to what republicans, including Vance, said about him during the 2016 primaries. It wasn't pretty. 

Now they've all capitulated.

Now, both sides could do with a little less outrage, bald faced lying, and screaming.

Election night plans... survey.

I've voted absentee since Covid. This year I was away being a "World Traveler" and got a big dump of texts when I got back to Seattle. I got a lot of texts saying I hadn't yet turned in my absentee ballot.

I got home, went through the mail, found and marked my ballot, and hand delivered it to the city clerk who stamped it and says it'll be counted.

I then started getting texts thanking me for voting. Obviously, it's public record, at least in Michigan, and the texts were from all different numbers. Some of them asked me to go online and provided a link to see if I knew anyone in my family or friends who haven't voted yet, or if anyone needed a ride to vote. I didn't click on the link and have no idea who or what sent them.

Big Brother? Deep state? Maybe just organized Democrats?

Back on topic, tonight I have no plans and like Jim B. will watch CNN and flip between the others while texting with my sister.

But what's the use since Trump has already said he's won?

There are not a lot of yard signs in my neighborhood compared to how it used to be. You will see a few Trump signs, but hardly any Harris signs at all. I guess that's just folks being smart in these contentious times and don't want to advertise their preferences, one way or the other.

I went for a ride out in the country and saw a huge amount of Trump signs, mostly homemade and big. These folks are serious and spending a lot of money on lumber and paint. Not to mention all of the Trump flags. 

I haven't seen any of the big pick up trucks with a huge MAGA flags and Trump flags like I did many times in 2016 and 2020, but I'm sure they are out there. I was "world traveling" from late August to the end of October so missed a lot of that kind of stuff.

Maybe for national elections yard signs are now just a thing of the past? Still see a lot of them locally for state representatives, school board, and municipal elections.

Boy, you sure do like to change the subject. 

Well, my hundreds of daily customers would disagree with you and her. I was surrounded by a few big grocery stores and three other independent food markets all in our small suburb of 27K people and made enough moolah in 40 years, selling at a very fair price, to become a jet setting world traveler. Ain't America great already?

The one general who signed was born the year before my folks in 1918. Wow, 106 and still into politics. LOL.
