Welllllll....
I couldn't have been more wrong in my predictions. So eating crow for breakfast this morning.DITTO. I really thought the razor thin polls were the result of some "fixing" and she would pull off the victory.
Not so much crow for me though. Just plenty of Ibuprofen. Didn't think one would get such a horrible headache from Macallan 18. (Eat your heart out, Tony!)

If Gore had more of a backbone I think he could have explored more options to challenge the obviously flawed result back in 2000. Imagine what a different world we might be living in if that had happened.
Yes, scary to think about it. I still have to flush my new toilets 3 times and I still do not have internet available in my rural country home (30 miles from a major city) although Gore (who said he invested the internet) proposed the tax 30 years ago to make it available nationwide. Moving forward, let's not even mention the 7 car charging stations that cost taxpayers $8 billion under Biden.

All it shows - along with these other "pet" ideas of various elders - that most in the Org are not really thinking spiritually, but for their own material gain or to promote their own theories of how and when "the end" will come.
Most of the elders are old guys (as are the GB, at least until the new appointees). OLD GUYS have a vested interest in seeing The End™ come SOON or they will die before it comes. I know many who finally admitted they would see the New World via "The Underground" (resurrection), as one older faithful prominent JW told me.

My neighbor just pulled up a few minutes ago with several truckloads of toilet paper. I asked him what the hell is going on?
it’s my understanding it will last indefinitely in a freezer — we still have plenty from our stock up during Covid

The rest of the first world will shake their heads in disbelief and mock American credulity
The rest of the world is already doing that. It's just that obvious.
I hope Trump wins. I believe he is in it for "love of country" vs any personal benefit. He is the only president since Truman that didn't come out of the White House many, many times wealthier than when entering.
Net wealth before: ............... Net wealth after:
Johnson $14 MIL ..........................$20 MIL
Nixon ......$ 2 MIL ..................... ....$15 MIL
Ford ........$1.4 MIL ........................$ 7 MIL
Carter ......$ 2.3 MIL .......................$10 MIL
Reagan ....$10 MIL .........................$15 MIL
Bush Sr ....$ 4 MIL ..........................$23 MIL
Clinton ......$ 1.3 MIL .......................$241 MIL
Bush Jr .....$20 MIL .........................$40 MIL
Obama ......$ 1.3 MIL .......................$70 MIL
Trump ..... $ 3 BILLION....................$ 2.3 BILLION
Biden ........$ 2.5 MIL ........................$ 10 MIL (and counting)
Trump never accepted the Presidential salary ($400,000). He turned around and donated it to a government agency, ie, Veteran Affairs, Nat'l Parks, Dept of Education, etc. (Hoover & JFK also did this, but no other pres did so for the past 50+ years).
Many in Congress have also become fabulously wealthy (ie, Pelosi -- insider trading) etc

Option 1) The CHEAT will be so obvious when Kamaltoe is declared the winner. Yet, conservatives will NOT take up arms (nor Molotov cocktails) and storm major US cities (as did BLM) because they have too much to lose and they have learned that the Dems will "lock them up" just as they did innocent grandmothers on Jan 6th. They'll just accept it and hunker down financially in hopes of not going down with the economic catastrophe that is lurking. But their hunkering down will increase the collapse. The shitstorm will follow.
Option 2) The vote for Trump will indeed prove to be To Big To Rig and he will be declared the winner. But inauguration is still over 10 weeks later. Seeing the obvious, China will invade Taiwan and even worse, possibly initiate some kind of first strike against the US (perhaps a hack against the utility infrastructures vs anything militarily). The lame duck (and just lame in general) Biden administration will not risk going up against the (multi-million dollar) hand that has been feeding them and China will be allowed to overthrow Taiwan. The fallout in the US will open them to initiating Martial Law and the "peaceful transfer of power" will not happen. The Swamp will take control (as they have been all along, just now more brazenly). This too will usher in an economic catastrophe and shitstorm.
The ultimate goal is the economic collapse of the US and ending its position as the Superpower. Armageddon maybe? (Just not the one JWs preached about for 100+ years.)

10/31 New York Times, "They’re Giving Scammers All Their Money. The Kids Can’t Stop Them." Has Watchtower scammed your family?
by Balaamsass2 inthe seniors in our family were scammed by watchtower, for over 7 figures.
an interesting read today to give some insight.. one of the most egregious con-artists is watchtower bible and tract society the “legal” entity for jehovah’s witnesses.
many retired jehovah’s witnesses have been targeted over the years to “loan” money for various “special projects” to further the “preaching work”, only to find they are never to be repaid.

We wish to remind you that Jehovah's Witnesses believe in the Bible’s guidance that believers should limit contact with someone who has been removed from the congregation or has withdrawn (see, for example, 1 Corinthians 5:11-13). The exact extent of this limited contact will depend on each individual’s personal circumstances and conscience.
They forgot the assterisk *
* However if their individual personal circumstances and conscience does not move them to shun the person, they will also be "removed" resulting in their being shunned as well.
