Thanks Rod, it still may not be too late for me to give it a try; some of the best seeing I'd had here has been in April. From my experience with the companion of Antares, I know how important seeing is.😷🙂

Actually, she looks better than that on her newscasts.

Here's a good analogy.  Imagine the Rockies and the Sox are in the 2022 World Series.  The Sox win three games by the scores 11-1, 14-0, and 16-2.  The Rockies win four games, 3-2, 4-3, 1-0, and 2-1.  Yay! Rockies win!! 

The Rockies win the Series by winning 57% of the games!  Yay!  But seriously, under these circumstances, and with those scores, would anyone in their right mind call this a "blowout" Series win?  I doubt it, not even you.

By the by, DJT won 57% of the Electoral College vote!

To the leftist vermin in the MSM who were in a state of shock as the evening went on, that was a small consolation.grin

Hell, how about EVERYBODY!!!!!Mel, Darian, Rod, Greg, Brian,  Russ, Steven, and anyone else who is a denizen of the polititard forum.  (Apologies if I forgot a name or two... )  James and I have already 'bared all with an asterisk'  so how about the rest of you!!??

Rod, I'm just grateful that some POS in the Democrat Party isn't running things.

Rod, I was complimenting the theoretical Democrat.
Maybe he was distracted by "impeachment".

It sounds like you're excited, Ron. More deaths, the less chance of Trump being reelected?😷👍

Rod, you* recently were whining about Trump not demanding that all the governors have the same "social distancing" policies or something similar. I seem to recall telling you that you must find authoritarianism appealing. Which is it?


*Forgive me if I have you confused with James.
