Welp it's looking more and more like you foreigners will have another 4 years to complain about Trump.

Catfish · 11-04-20, 07:04 AM

I guess it will not be the "foreigners" who have the problem.. and if Trump wins the problem is not Trump [insert smily here]

Too early to call winners and loosers, its still open, but it is tighter than many here expected. In total vote numbers, it seems more people have legitimised Trump already than in 2016, which is discouraging and alarming. And a Democratic party who thinks it is a good idea to set up a very old man showing signs of early senility already and a far left leaning socialist as his copilot who sooner or later takes over, should not complain. That can be said about quite some tries and tactical decisions of theirs in the past 4 years. Too weak, and too unagressive, and ideologically too unacceptable for too many. Race is still open, lets wait and see how it turns out, everythign still is poossible. Trump, as usual, already spreads lies again. Hammering them home again and again do not make them less wrong. But it makes them sticking in people's minds. Thats what the Biden side notoriously underestimated.

“We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election,” Trump said. “This is a major fraud on our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we’ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop.” Lol The voting has stopped, it is about the counting.

He has got the US and all conspiracy folks by the balls.

In a politically most incorrect way, it might be good for Europe, though not for the EU, if Trump wins, for that would forbid any being tempted to dream of falling back into old patterns of relations that quite some seem to dream of coming back when Biden wins. I think they underestimate the Democrats there. With Biden, manners and style and behaviour would massively improve no doubt, but I think he woul continue America course of shifting America'S focus from Europe to China - a course that was not even started by Trump, but in early stages was already visible under Clinton, and continued unde rbush jr. and Obama. Especially Obama had remarkably little interest in Europe, something that Eruopeans often oversee or just ignore.

If the EU keeps appeasing Erdoghan, Johnson or the whoever US president it can take back the nobel prize and award itself the Chamberlain appeasement award.

See, sometimes we can agree on something.

U.S. gun sales surge to record high in 2020
Kate Gibson 2 days ago

Quote:

With nearly two months still to go in 2020, sales of firearms have hit a new high in the U.S., already topping the prior record set in 2016, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Quote:

The holiday season is expected to lift gun sales even more. November and December are traditionally among the busiest months of the year for selling firearms, the industry trade group noted in an analysis based on data from the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which are viewed as a proxy for sales.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation found that 17.2 million background checks were completed this year, versus 15.7 million in 2016, the previous high-water mark for gun sales.

Just the other month I bought one. A .45 colt Peacemaker 7.5" barrel cavalry model from Cimarron. Got a quick draw shoulder holster for it. Will pretty much stop anything east of the Mississippi, I wear it when I trek into the National Forests.
