If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Yes, it always is. For every candidate. But they have always put country over brand. Problem is that despite the rah rah and wrapping himself in the American flag, it as all for show. We've found our first president who isn't actually a public servant. He puts his brand in front of his country.
I'm trying to find the words I could imagine him saying, and I can't find them. Even if it was a non-concession, concession, something like, We've accomplished so much in the last 4 years, but there is more we still need to do. We need to keep fighting for the principles we believe in. Hold your representatives accountable... or whatever.
If he's truly a public servant and cares about this country, he'd concede. But, spoiler alert, he's not and never was.Comment

With the election this close I doubt he would think he would have no chance to win. Age might factor into his decision. Prison (as you mentioned) probably not in the picture. He will make plenty of money in the next 4 years, doubt that comes into play.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the next election have two great candidates that the thought/words lesser of two evils would not come into play. Candidates that would have the wisdom and the heart to lead our nation into greatness. Where each party prefers their own candidate, but would still want to support the office of the President?Comment

Did Biden actually win yet?"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

It depends on what you mean by "win". He has leads now in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia that he is unlikely to relinquish. Margins are 14k votes in Pennsylvania, 39k votes in Arizona, 20k votes in Nevada, and 4k votes in Georgia. Counting is essentially finished in Georgia; maybe a handful of votes change (in the hundreds possibly, but likely not in the thousands). Pennsylvania is expected to continue to swing farther in Biden's favor as provisional and other ballots begin to be counted. Nevada is almost surely in the Biden column, with the vast majority of the remaining vote from Clark County. All those votes are effectively done for Biden, but they probably won't be certified as official for a few weeks, if that's what you're waiting for. And of course the electoral college doesn't vote until December.
Alaska and North Carolina are likely in the Trump column, but we won't know until they count all the mail-in ballots. Not sure when that happens in Alaska, but November 12 is the date they have given for North Carolina to start counting those.
If you're waiting for news organizations to call it official, I'm guessing that happens tonight or tomorrow for many of them. But you don't seem like the type who waits for a news organization to tell you what happened."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment
