Is there gummies in Canada? Indica is best now.

Or the flower kind in the pipe you mentioned. 🕶

Couldn’t do any such thing. All those American Patriots™ would never consume a Cuban product. (Well, based on the cigar smokers I know in the US, whether Republican or Democrat, they’d kill for a genuine Havana, so maybe there’s something there.)

Besides, a Bolivar Royal Corona is my favourite cigar. I think I have some Quinteros somewhere though …

Naw, just “Mr. B’s Muskoka Mixture.” Flowery, with a nice taste and aroma, but all tobacco, all the time. And this pipe needs at least one more smoke before it’s fully broken in.

Let’s end the hijack here, shall we?

The Trumpers are already rubbing it in on other message boards. I forgot that was going to happen. I think it was because I had no intention of doing that in the event of a Harris win.

“The good guys won!”  
“Still think it’s “weird”, bitches?”  
“Perfect!!! Goodnight ya liberals. Enjoy your SSRIs and anxiety 😂”

If only that were the end of the craziness, instead of being the beginning, and the least of it. Jesus, we elected a narcissistic crazy man with dementia who fellates microphones. . .AGAIN. We really are just monkeys with computers and guns.

I bought a bottle for this evening, first one in years. Not helping, of course.

Fine. (Heh-heh)

Meanwhile, PA goes to Trump. I really did not think it would go red. I thought CO or NM might flip for some reason.

He’s speaking now or soon, flipped to ESPN.

Watching Trump’s speech. He’s claimed to have won the popular vote. I wonder if that’s accurate.

Well, just one more remark. Pipe is full, lit, and tamped. Lit and tamped again, as my Dad taught me to do. And it’s going perfectly with my drink.

Now, the hijack ends. Back to our election discussion.

Well, it’s dawn in Europe, and I’ve just come online to read the good news and share the joy.

Oh.

Looks like America is about to get exactly what it asked for, good and hard. Interesting times.

Good luck

I remember when the winner used to wait for the loser to concede before taking his vctory lap.

Fucker.

Thank you, Mr Mencken. I favor another one of your quotes:

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Yes. It’s a short-term response, but I laughed when I read your question.
