Canadian newspaper Globe & Mail saying even if Biden wins, he loses. Not quite sure what’s meant by that. Republican Senate maybe?
Isn’t Sleepy Joe doing same thing Trump did, claiming victory, just a little more subtle about it? Is he awake or even remember he ran for POTUS?
Whatever happened to those 300,000 mail-in votes that went missing?
I get the feeling that if Americans thought it was tough living with Trump at the helm, then it’s not going to get any easier, and perhaps tougher with Joe. How will CNN spin it?
If you wanted to invade the USA, is now a good time?
Maybe because Biden will be inheriting a mess, so it won’t be easy for him? I’m not sure how he’ll manage considering he needed to take noticeable breaks when on the campaign trail. The POTUS is a 24/7 type of gig so we shall see. But wait, maybe Trump will win?
Crazy times right now.
In other news, get out and stock up on toilet paper. Just read an article that there’s a shortage (again) in many stores across the US.

Even if he wins, Biden loses because 1) the margin of victory is so slim that it's not an outright repudiation of Trump or Republicans, 2) many state and federal Republicans still won their races, 3) without the Senate (and a slimmer majority in the House), they can't add states, supreme court seats, appoint judges, or pass legislation, and 4) him and his party have placated the far left too much to stop it, likely including the riots.
And he would be the first Democrat president since 1885 to enter office without control of both the House and the Senate.
Yes, he's claiming victory, just with more qualifiers. CNN, MSNBC, and the like will die out under a Biden presidency. They won't have Trump to buoy their ratings with his tweets and their fake Russia, Ukraine, etc. scandals.
Yep, Biden with make America weaker and, like Obama, make peace deals with active terrorist states like Iran and Palestine. You know, instead of continuing the four peace deal trend Trump has started between Muslim countries and Israel.

Really? Everyone already went through their earlier stockpiles? That's a lot of crap.
To my fellow Americans - If you were going to move out of the US, what country would you choose and why? Asking for a friend

Make of it what you will. In the new communist regime that awaits us in 2021, maybe people are getting prepared? lol
Based on popular vote there really isn't much difference other than who is Prez because half the country is not going to like whomever it is, no matter what.
From this side of the border we can't believe its even this close. Many here thought Biden would win easy.
They have a lot of trees in Oregon, do they have paper mills? Asswipe shouldn't be a problem there if they do.
Why did you think it’d be a landslide for Biden, Z? Trump has a solid following - but many haters. The split that seems to exist among battleground states is not that surprising.

Just listening to folks talk. I can only think of one acquaintance who said it's closer than you think and he's a carpenter. Too much time spent by folks who watch CNN maybe. I can't stand CNN so I don't watch but I did election night. I think they're getting ready to pat themselves on the back, big time. Unfortunately for them I think they will eventually have to get critical of the Biden Administration and they'll act like its nothing new. They remind me of that James Bond movie (title escapes me for the moment) where a news network actually cooked up the news.

Nowhere. America is the last, best hope for the world. It's hands down the freest country in the world, and without it terrorists and despots will take over.

Oh yeah, there is the cautionary tale of Venezuela.

Yeah, the CNN viewers thought it was a sure thing. More faulty polling, like 2016. Most foreigners get their news via legacy media, which always tells them to ignore Fox, NYP, WT, etc..
The media never got critical of Obama. No reason to think they would for Biden. They've taken off the mask and are all-in partisans now.

For now. I'm going to remain optimistic. A few of my coworkers were joking on a call we had earlier today, that this time next year, we may be living under a communist regime. I know they're being funny, but I hope that no slippery slopes lead us there.

Luckily the states retain so much power and autonomy, and the federal government doesn't have the manpower to police all of them. So it's really only a question of which state to move to. If Democrats states can be sanctuaries for illegal aliens and legalize/decriminalize federally illegal drugs, certainly other states can be freedom and constitutional law and order sanctuaries.
