Scrooged?

Weed was legalized in a bunch of states, and in one state (can't remember which one, I think Oregon) made it legal to carry personal amount of any drug (including heroin, cocaine, and LSD). Which floored me that the USA would do that.

I take back what I said about Georgia. Was looking at the wrong line. Biden has a real chance there still. Wacky!

It's even crazier than that... from what I recall possession of something meth for example is either a $100 fine or enrollment in a 100% state funded rehab center (paid for with weed tax revenues)

And by crazy I mean more awesome.

Oregon is one of the most progressive states in the US. it's amazing how much things change from state to state.

Not one of the most. It is by far the most. It would be great there except for the egregiously slow speed limits and the fact some joker has to pump your gas for you.
I like to party as much as anyone but its hard for me to justify decriminalizing a death drug like heroin. Since its just a small personal amount I understand what they are trying but still hard to see this having a positive effect. From what i have read its heroin users getting busted and jail/rehab that generally saves their lives.

Just got off the phone with my boss. He has family who live in Ohio. He asked what they figured about things and they said that no matter what the media and polls say, Trump is 100% winning because a huge voter fraud release is coming out in the next 24 hours that is going to blow everything up.

Both sides seem pretty entrenched, regardless of what the votes say. Not good.

Right... And 5hole said that Biden was going to resign before the election because a huge corruption case against him was gonna be unearthed.
Sounds like your boss and 5hole get their information from the same place

Penn State. Now down to 96 000 vote lead from roughly 600 000. 88% counted. The majority from Pitts/Philly outstanding.
Trumps going to lose this one on the final drive of the game.

Candidates		Vote %	Vote count
Donald Trump Republican Party		50.2%	3,243,520
Joe Biden Democratic Party		48.7%	3,147,826

You might have misunderstood. This isn't what HE said is going to happen (he lives in Canada). This is what his family, who lives in Ohio, said is going to happen. They are 100% convinced. I suspect there are a LOT of folks who are 100% convinced. Mock them at your peril, but if they feel that voter fraud has happened they will rage just like progressives would if they thought an election was stolen from them.

how is it possible Trump could receive such a lopsided vote count when the polls have it so close and Biden has been leading the majority of the way?

(had to test out the grass is greener approach. The argument is flawed from both sides)

Some serious insider info there.

I for one am becoming more concerned with fact checking primary sources vs. press releases & popular media headlines than ever.
