The other 50% is gay. Yes there's some cross pollination Venn diagram wise (I'm looking at you Wills) but anyway. The non-gay, non Scots amongst us are confused about these local derbies and their significance. My sheep has longer hair than yours, so there. I wonder why gay men such as myself are disproportionately represented on this board and interested in death, deathlisting and deadpooling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 1, 2020 The IA-01 margin in particular is quite off. Not saying Trump couldn’t win it, but it’s not going Republican by 15% points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted November 1, 2020 My predictions for a couple of these swing states: Pennsylvania: Biden +5 Wisconsin: Biden +7 Michigan: Biden +9 Minnesota: Biden +10 Arizona: Biden +4 Florida: Biden +1 Iowa: Trump +2 Texas: Trump +0 Georgia: Trump +0 North Carolina: Biden +2 South Carolina: Trump +5 Nevada: Biden +9 Ohio: Biden +1 I think Texas and Georgia would go for Biden under "normal" circumstances - but with court cases and such, the results will come out in a certain way.

He looks like he had a stroke that the media is not reporting. No, I’m not making fun of people that have dementia. Apparently he has dementia, I think he will become the first us president to die in office for many years, he is a walking zombie, who I think we should put on the 2021 list.

gcreptile 10,964 Posted November 1, 2020 1 minute ago, The Old Crem said: Yeah, Jason Miller is speaking the Trump campaign spin. "Being ahead on election night" = having more of their votes counted already, because the vote by mail might take another day or so. "steal it back" = counting the vote by mail There are very few countries on Earth where the vote is already finalized on election day. The Trump campaign is trying to sell you a twisted interpretation of numbers - as if there was still a race after Election day that the democrats try to win. But no, it's just the technicality of infrastructure not being able to handle it all on one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know the answer I am just curiously thinking aloud . D’you know GC, I think you’re absolutely right. As a bisexual man managing a precision engineering machine shop (a traditional gammon stomping ground of people who are frankly completely ignorant of any of today’s societal norms involving inclusivity of people who aren’t white British, LGBT+ or any kind of minority whatsoever) I’m made to feel like my mindset is rather, for want of a better adjective, different. And perhaps, as a result, the acceptance of any odd psyche such as morbidity is rather less likely to be alien to someone less entwined with this kind of ‘straight, traditional’ societal norm. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,957 Posted November 2, 2020 I'm a trans woman myself. Knew it for years, and some on here have known in private for a while - no reason to keep hiding. Life's too short. Don't want any fuss - just here to deadpool and perpetually increase my knowhow of yesteryear celebs. And agreed wrt the above, having that deadpooler's sense of black humor definitely helps keep me sane. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
