they made it through the Obama administration without a scratch, so to speak
I wouldn't say that. My 401(k) had become a 201(k) under Obama.

Yes, lots of new cases, but not a comparative number of new deaths.
The increase in testing may be revealing more cases. The majority of new cases clearly do have the same high mortality rate and/or we have improved our treatment of those who suffer complications.

Do You Believe In Polls After This Last Debacle?
by minimus ini have never believed in the polls.
they are as useless as teats on a boar hog.
likewise, i think the media is so untrustworthy that no one should believe in their perspectives and holy opinions.

Do you still believe in polls?
Of course I do! But only when used appropriately!

My Prediction: Trump Wins Big
by minimus ina month ago it might have been questionable.
not now.
after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

why do you suppose in natures evolutionary survival of the fittest, that stupid is not eliminated as quickly as physical ineptness?
Because we do not allow evolution to take its natural course. We do allow the weak and stupid to die. Instead, we give them free money, free food, free housing, a big screen TV and allow them to breed at a higher rate than the rest of the population.

what difference will whoever wins make to the those outside of the U.S.
"When America sneezes, the World catches a cold."
Although still in the middle of this "pandemic", the US economy grew at a record rate (33% GDP) and unemployment fell below 8%. This is thanks to the Trump economic plan. Gas here today is $1.52/US Gallon. When the fracking is shut down or minimized and the Green New Deal begins to be implemented, expect soaring unemployment and $4.00-$5.00 gasoline and higher electric rates nationwide which will likely lead the US into a recession.
What will it mean for the rest of the world when the US Dollar is going to Chevron and Exxon and our utility companies and not being spent on consumer goods from Asia, Europe, etc?

100+ years of publicizing their interpretation of "God's Kingdom" and still not only does not ONE single non-JW understand it, but a good percentage of JW's likely do not understand it either.
Good job!
Joe Hoover should get a new PR representative.

Let's just stop the belly-aching altogether...why not put the electoral vote to one side and go with the popular vote which puts Biden ahead by over 3.7 million votes.
Why not?
Because that is NOT how the framers of the US Constitution set up the voting system. You may think that seems obvious, but when the 13 original colonies formed the basis of this new nation, the smaller colonies (States) did not want the larger and more populous States to have overwhelming control as they would have if decisions were based on (what we would today call) one-person-one-vote.
OTOH, the populous States did not think it fair that the less populous States have EQUAL say in matter as that would not be fair to their citizens.
Thus the framers did it neither way -- but BOTH ways -- as the Senate is EQUAL representation for each State. Regardless of population, each State has two senators and two votes on matters. Whereas the House of Representatives is weighted according to population. California with the most citizens has 55 US Representatives. The least populous States have only 1 US Representative.
To satisfy (by compromise -- something that used to happen in past politics) both sides pertaining to elections, the Electoral College was designed, where each State has the Electoral Votes equal to their Senators PLUS their US Representatives.
IF ELECTIONS WERE NOT BASED ON THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, but rather on the "popular vote", then no politician would give any attention to any area of the US except Los Angeles County, CA and New York City and Chicago IL. To win the favor of those 3 areas would allow any candidate to win the election. F*CK OFF if you live in any smaller state or rural area.

Folks, this is going to the courts.
Trump's team has already filed suits in Penn, Mich, and Ariz because GOP "observers" were refused to be admitted into the vote tabulation centers, particularly in Detroit and Philly.
If the GOP holds onto the Senate without Pence needed as a tiebreaker, I think they will abandon Trump's attempts to overturn a Biden win. GOP also picked up 5 or 6 additional seats in the House of Rep.
With a Senate majority, Pres Harris will be stuck in a gridlock for 3.99 years (as soon as Joe dies or retires to a nice upscale rest home).
