Hello Everybody,

US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is clearly delusional.
This is what the poor guy said today, concerning the election -

"If Republicans don't challenge and changethe US election
system, there wil never be another Republican president
elected again. President Trump should not concede. We're
down to less -- 10,000 votes in Georgia. He's going to win
North Carolina. We have gone from 93,000 votes to less than
20,000 votes in Arizona, where more -- more votes to be
counted."
~ Lindsey Graham, 11/8/2020

Notice the Trump campaign has provided absolutely no evidence
to back up any of the president's outlandish claims.

"So, what happened? The Trump team has canvassed all early
voters and absentee mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania. And
they found over 100 peole they think were dead, but 15 people
that we verifiedthat have been dead who voted. But there is
the one that gets me. Six people registered after they died
and voted. In Pennsylvania, I guess you're never out of it."
~ Lindsey Graham, 11/8/2020

Oh, my. I gotta move to Pennsylvania. That way I will never
be out of it even when I am out of it. Just think about how
many times I will be able to vote both before and after I
am dead.

With that in mind, here is what US Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT)
said in response -

"I think people are saying that conservative principles still
account for the majority of public opiinion in our country."
~ Mitt Romney, 11/8/2020

Yep. You're never out of it in Pennsylvania. Even when you
are clearly out of it.

Maybe he is just a realist.

LOL! Or maybe he's too dizzy after all the turning around trying to please His Master?

The election system is already rigged

The rest of the world realized that decades ago. What we're surprised about is that (now) 70 million of the US population still haven't realized it.

But, watching various Karen/Kevin video clips on Youtube, it's easy to see that it's all about the US educational system. After all, how can you brainwash 70 million people unless they are all totally uneducated? As in "no college for you mate, back to the coal mines for you!"

But maybe the voters will change the party over the years by not
electing the annoying and intimidating white men anymore who run the GOP nowadays. Only time will tell.

You mean, like rather doing it the AOC way? Yeah, I think that would be a really good path to follow... <3

They have not had the opportunity to learn to think for themselves but were trained to do as their religious leaders and/or parents.

Sadly so. Of course this happens in many other countries too, but they are usually not regarded as developed countries.

A country that produces people like this is rather rare even in the Odd Country Category:

Hello Oli,

US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is clearly delusional.

Maybe he is just a realist. The election system is already rigged to produce
better outcomes for the Republicans and the incumbent president is still losing. They rarely win the popular vote and the senate does not represent the majority (of voters).

That did not stop FDR (and his party) from winning the White House
(and both houses of Congress) from winning for two decades. Biden won
by a margin even greater than FDR in his first term, so it looks like
happy days are here again. At least for another twenty years or so.

Too bad that sane Republican candidates don't win elections anymore, only the polarizing extremists which are just incompetent politicians.

There are several sane and competent Republicans around. But they
have been scared to death by Trump's scorched earth politics. If a
Republican does not do as Trump says, Trump primaries him. Kind of
like kneecapping - an old Sicilian tradition.

The other problem Republicans have is there are not enough blacks
and other minorities in their party to keep them competitive. As a
result, the Democrats will continue to control the House, and also
continue to gain seats in the Senate. And with a black woman as
vice president, the Democrats will likely remain control of the White
House for a very long time.

In 4 years a candidate that still is a climate change denier will have a very slim chance to get elected. It's catch-22.

Doesn't matter. The current president is so in debt that the only
way he can make money is to run for president once he leaves office.
In other words, ask for donations the minute he walks out of the
door.

If the candidate is a right-wing populist, swing voters vote for the democrat.

George Wallace was a right-wing populist. And also a democrat.
He got elected to four terms as governor of Alabama. And also came
close to winning the presidency. The guy was Nixon's worst nightmare.
Would probably have won had he not been gunned down by a would-be
assassin.

If s/he is sane and moderate, it's not polarizing enough that enough of the crazy people cast their vote.

George Wallace only lost one contest in his entire life. He ran
for district attorney in a local race, as a moderate democrat.

After that race, he hired a speechwriter who was a klansman. That
won him race after race after race ...

But maybe the voters will change the party over the years by not electing the annoying and intimidating white men anymore who run the GOP nowadays. Only time will tell.

After about 2030 or so the white people in the USA will be a
minority and nobody will care about what few Republicans remain ...

Another alternative is of course that, by then a majority of the US voters have been joined together in a true Make USA U Again rally?

But I guess not. All empires are crumbling sooner or later. The US Empire was pretty resistant up until Trump. But now, not only will the US dollar crumble, but also the entire US economy. Sooner or later...

Hello David,

No American has ever been killed by a croc in the USA.

* Flies

Not an issue in modern environments

The swamp thing was created in a lab in Louisiana. I used to
visit the lab when I was a kid. The scientist at the lab would
buy cockroaches from us to feed the creature he was studying.
One day the lab caught fire and the creature escaped. And
that brought an end to my cockroach sales.

* More venomous snakes than any other place on Earth

The state of Florida has boa constrictors which do not need
venom (or jaws) to do their thing.

* "Neighbours"

You don't have people living next door in your town?

I live in the swamp.

* Kylie Minogue

Britney Spears. I think she lives in California. Or a nuthouse.
And has done for several decades.

Not to worry. Louisiana has hurricanes and floods. They seem to
come more regular these days, and are far more prevalent than nut
cases.

But you get credit for

Barry ain't dead yet.

I am not a fan of competitive eating/cooking so no points there.

I ate 42 prunes in one sitting. A long time ago.

Never met her.

I never met Britney Spears' sister. That makes us even.

Come to Louisiana. Leave different.

Could that be because they're called alligators in USA?

And the warmer parts of Australia have the Carpet Python. It has the same MO as your Boa.

Surely you jest. Almost every USAian I see on TV or Yootube is a raving nutter. I've seen lots of shots where they're not having hurricanes or floods. Or is that peculiar to Louisiana?

Oh well, give him time.

Was that competitive?

Are they related?

No thanks. High on my list of places I'd rather not visit is USA (not just Louisiana).
