Who goes to an outdoor rally at night in sub freezing weather?
Folks in thrall to a charismatic leader.

Who holds an outdoor rally at night in subfreezing weather without working out the logistics? Leaders who don’t give a fuck about the followers except when they’re expressing their devotion.

Also... Dakotans.   We're all pretty much crazy up here.    I will make a product plug:  Wigwam brand wool-blend socks.  67% merino wool.   If you find yourself up in these parts,  know this:  the key to enduring outside at night is what you wear on feet and calves.   Your legs function as a secondary blood pump to your heart,  so you don't want the blood that goes down there to be chilled when it circulates back up into your torso.

Today we've approached "market correction" territory, down almost 10% from the high from last month of 29,100.

Will we bounce back before November 3rd or will we drop further?

Bets?

Like the American lady on my tv preparing to the new civil war...if you're stocked up on food and water, you can exist off grid for quite a while.
Too late when the panic buying starts...I discovered that in the current pandemic.
 Men were climbing over women to get the last of the toilet paper.
Women were in fist fights over groceries and toilet paper.
I still have plastic storage tubs of cereal, tinned soup, toilet paper, long life milk, pasta etc and I'm going to replace them as I use them.
Bottled water the same.
The next pandemic "is" just around the corner.

Nice thing about NJ Election is that you can follow your ballot status.

Just checked mine:

Ballot issued date
09/18/2020

Ballot received date
10/22/2020

Ballot status
Received

Of course, what it doesn't tell you is if the ballot was counted.

Still, there is some peace of mind knowing that I did what I could do to help make the USA a better place for everyone.


If you live in NJ, and you are interested in tracking your vote, this is where you go to do so: https://nj.gov/state/elections/vote.shtml

I never worried about running out of toilet paper because I have Atlas Shrugged and the Fountainhead in hardcover.

I can get you copies of  Frommer's Australia, too, if you want.

I generally stick to paperbacks, but when they finish publishing the trump mob’s WhatsApp transcripts I’ll order that in hardcover. The Jared section seems like particularly excellent literature from the proofs.

I wonder what he is buying a reduced sentence with, in exchange for his change of plea to guilty!

The hypothermia explains the Covid. That’s the Comey letter this cycle defining the direction of the late break.

Not worth dying to support the lousy faithless cheat.

 Bets?

Affirmative Action as a policy will be given to a long awaited death penalty now that Barrett is on SCOTUS.
And the biggest beneficiaries will be blacks.

I am considering dropping this site after the election.

Anybody interested in taking on the moderator position if/when I go?

If so, drop me a PM letting me know why you'd want that joy-inducing power. Thanks.
