Well, I would have given my name and number, but I wouldn’t have waited because I was worried that the victim would end up in jail or dead. I’m praying that Biden will make it so I don’t have to do it again. If you did have to do it the first time, then just having Biden in office doesn’t guarantee you won’t have to do it another time. > [@El\_Kabong](#): > > apparently this is based on a Trump Tweet that reads as follows: > > > [@](#): > > > > Big press conference today in Philadelphia at Four Seasons Total Landscaping — 11:30am! > > Er, Four Seasons Total Landscaping? Maybe it’s the only place willing to host it. ETA: By the way, be glad NY gets called for the Presidential race without all the votes being in. We’re probably going to start – start – counting our mail-ins around Monday. ---

Agonizing, from Nate Silver: “Looks like Trump won the new batch of ballots from Maricopa County by 15.6 points — 56.4 percent to 40.8 percent — which is not bad but slightly less than the pace he needed. This makes his path back harder in Arizona, though I wouldn’t say insurmountable.” And from Geoffrey Skelley : “The bottom line is that Trump now trails by 20,573 votes in Arizona, or 0.6 percentage points, per ABC News. This leaves Trump still just in range of possibly overtaking Biden as the final votes are reported from the state. Projection purgatory.” ---
