Election night plans... survey.

Tonight will be better of course, Purdue tips off their 2025/2025 men's college basketball campaign.  Go Boilers!
I'll be busy with other things; I'll be content to find out the results Wednesday morning.

I do have a prediction though: Trump will declare victory long before enough votes are in for anyone to know who the victor really is.  Then, if he loses, he'll declare fraud.  His proof?  He knew hours ago that he won. LOL

And since I've been accused of everything on this forum from being Toxically masculine, by many of the snowflakes here, including James himself and now when he gets angry, he accuses me of being gay?

I'd just suggest to James that he make up his mind, does he think I'm toxically masculine or gay??  smile
Oh no, not the tough guy thing again - LOL.  Have you forgotten that you showed everyone here a picture of yourself?  You answered everyone's question:  Why does he use some other dude's picture as his avatar, and not his own?  Does that guy represent the he-man you wish you were?  Is he your boyfriend? Not that there would be anything wrong with that!

Man, you are absolutely hilarious.

You and a whole lot of us.

For someone who claims to be all in on free markets, capitalism, and the American dream, he sure seems resentful of people who are more successful than him.

Wow, they sure are.  The "article" is looking like a big load of BS.

I'll go first.  I think Trump wins.
I think women voters are going to put Harris over the top.

Somehow, I don't think you're going to see anyone attacking the capitol in January, either.

To Jim Moscheck in Michigan. I just wanted to say this: My HEAD didn't explode. Too bad for your Iowa expert, huh?

Written proof that you are not dealing with a normal, full-grown, mature adult. Just the opposite in fact.
