Yes…this isn’t 2016…

This election is starting to smell like a blowout. Yes, I know, 4 weeks to go..no time to get complacent. And things can change.

But this is not 2016. And we are talking about all polls, not just a few.

Weights today: pull ups were a bit of a mess; singles to 5 until I got 50.
bench: 10 x 132, 8 x 154, 8 x 154 (all with pauses)
dead lift (deficit) 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 204 (no problems)
shoulder presses 3 sets of 10 x 80, 84, 88
rows: single arm, 3 sets of 10 x 60
plank: 2:30
headstand

Kind of “get it done” today.

Back to the election: no, it isn’t officially over nor even unofficially. But…
I admit that, even if Biden wins (and I now expect him to) we will have COVID, still have moronic state governors and people who find Trump, well, not only passable but desirable.

And, IF Biden holds on, wait for the infighting and the claim to who was responsible for the win.

And as a nation, we are all talked out…

Not so long ago, when my immensely popular wife would post a political/social issues topic, there would be hundreds of responses; quite a bit of back-and-forth.
Now: hardly any. I get more responses than she does.

Of course, my friends are self-selected, and once in a while I might get a response.

But between the pandemic, the protests, the “take it seriously” vs. “our country is overreacting”, and the election…I am not sure there is much to be said.

If this looks like a strong, tough leader to you: well, ..we have little to talk about.
If this looks like a fool trying to con even more foolish people…well, we probably already agree on many things.

But this is what “they” see:

Now add Steven Miller to the mix as well as some local Republican officials who didn’t see the need for masks.

Now, I am sure this poll is an outlier, but Biden’s lead has been remarkably stable.

And the clown-in-chief says he is going to go out and campaign, while COVID positive. We’ll see ..my guess is that he’ll be back in the hospital before too long.

(my god, I despise this stupid block editor)

Anyhow, I see no hope for Trump here.
