The Russian government instituted a national mask mandate last week, something we should have done a long time ago. Let me see, France is locking down, England is locking down, Belgium is locking down etc

The Covid Dakotas!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

" Active cases of the coronavirus in South Dakota shot past 14,000 on Saturday as the state marked its fourth day with over 1,000 new cases.
The new figure of 14,373 active infections means that roughly one out of every 61 people in the state is infected with the coronavirus. South Dakota has posted the nation’s second-worst rate of virus spread per capita in the last two weeks, according to Johns Hopkins researchers.
The new high points in cases come as the state caps its deadliest month of the virus yet."

Trump Will Declare Victory If He's Ahead

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Trump has told confidants that he'll declare victory if he's ahead in the count on election day but only includes the votes from those who vote in the poll and not the early voting and mail in absentee ballots. Since most Trumptoids are reportedly voting on election day because they don't care about covid, Trump's initial counts from in-poll voting is likely to be higher, especially in swing states. Twitter, however, has said they will block such a declaration from Trump until an official election count can be established. Just another ploy in the mix to fortify his narrative of voter fraud if he loses...

Without PA, Biden is an underdog

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I think there's a likelihood Biden will win but it's not a certainty. I base this on the EXTRAORDINARY and heavy early voting which is suspected to be primarily Democratic.

It will be an interesting day for sure.  If Biden wins FL, it is over of course, so we could know the outcome early.  If Trump wins FL and GA by any margin at all, the race is probably a toss-up and we may not know for days.  sad

Why educate when we can have more of these guys?
