  If Biden wins

  by mickbobcat in

  if biden wins i hope trump starts the trump news network and hires out from fox the good casters.

  the people who made fox what it is are starting to get sick of how its turning to the left or dark side.

  this would give trump a voice and keep alive real journalism.

  If Biden wins

  He won. By a lot. 300+ EVs, over 50% of the popular vote (first one to do so against an incumbent since FDR).

  I hope Trump starts the Trump News Network

  Absolutely 100% guaranteed to happen. I'd bet my house, car, and 401K on it. That was his plan since 2015, before he unexpectedly won in 2016.

  There is a huge market for "aggrieved white guys complaining about how life is so, so, SO unfair" and "let's pwn the libs". Trump is ideally suited to fill that....that....I was going to say "niche", but I think "big honking canyon" fits better.

  It is such a lucrative market, why, even a guy who bankrupted a casino could make money from it.

  Many Jw’s Love to Speculate About the New System

  by Davros in

  2. friends

  a comment on another thread cracked me up where the poster related what some elder said on the platform that: .

  in the new system, we likely will not have genitals.” lol.

  i’ve heard so much speculation from many jw’s on what will and won’t be allowed in the new system.

  I always laugh at all the modern conveniences that show up in the "new world" - lumber cut with laser precision, plastic beach balls, gigantic panes of glass in the windows of the mansions every resident will have, etc.

  None of which would be possible without the intricate, sophisticated, polluting, capitalistic infrastructure present in "this wicked world", not to mention the millions of people who would have to work the same types of boring, repetitive jobs to sustain that complex industrial-grade system.

  You can't have all the plastic balls, beach umbrellas, leather shoes, metal belt buckles, etc. shown in their drawings for the billions of "resurrected ones", while simultaneously the only occupations in the world are [farmer], [construction worker], [Bible teacher] and nothing else.

  Somehow those "new world speculations" always assume that technology and infrastructure will continue uninterrupted at 21st century USA-level standards.

  As of a few minutes ago, Trump's lead in Georgia is down to 665 votes.

  Repetition for emphasis:

  Get used to saying it: President-elect Biden

  Washington Post: The Secret Service is sending reinforcements to Wilmington starting Friday to help protect Joe Biden as his campaign prepares for the possibility he may soon claim victory in his bid for the White House, according to two people familiar with the plans.

  a month ago it might have been questionable.

  not now.

  after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

  Pioneers privilige

  by justice34 in

  organization and congregation seems to give so much attention to the pioneers and the hours.

  encouraging the members to get even the 30h at the month of c/o visit even if they don't complete the minimum of the hours.

  why do they give so much praise and attention to pioneers?

  If you make someone think they are special, make them think they are superior to others, even though you treat them like festering pig pus, most of them won't notice.

  By making pioneers feel "special" about themselves, and superior to "plain old publishers", they won't notice that they are doing utterly meaningless wheel-spinning drudgery. Instead they'll think "Well, the work is pointless and dull, but at least I'm better off than that poor slop who's only a publisher".

  It's nothing new or unique to JWs. The Jim Crow laws were not so much pure racism as they were an economic lever against poor rural whites. "We'll pay them a pittance to work in our textile mills and won't let them unionize, but so long as they think they're better off than those g-d n*****s, they won't notice."

  AZ was perhaps called prematurely, but it looks to be squarely for Biden now:

  Arizona election results (Estimated >99% in)
  Biden 1,469,341 50.5% (+2.4)
  Trump 1,400,951 48.1%
  Biden leads with 69k

  Fox News has Biden with 264 electoral votes:

  https://www.foxnews.com/elections/2020/general-results

  Nevada will release its results sometime soon - that would be the 6 EV needed to bush Biden to 270.

  It would be....something....if Fox were the first major outlet to call the election for Biden.
  

  It appears more and more likely that Biden will win both PA and GA as well, which would push him over 300.

  Wisconsin now final:

  BREAKING: Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator says “All of the ballots have been counted.” Joe Biden has won Wisconsin by 20,697 votes.

  Once again for those who just log onto the last page:

  If Biden maintains his lead in MI and NV, he has 270. NC, GA, and PA don't even matter.

  Biden leading in NV, MI, WI, where remaining uncounted votes are likely to be in Biden's favor.

  (See the problem with Trump's "stop all counting right now" proclamations?)

  With those 3, that would be 270 EV - wouldn't even need NC, PA, GA.

  Get used to saying it - President-elect Biden.
