I am sad to say, pessimistically that I'm pretty sure everything changes tomorrow. No matter which way the election goes, half the country is going to be insanely pissed off. If Harris, for us life will drastically change. We'll start executing a loosely developed plan as a result. If Trump, life will also change, we'll become less anxious and use the next four years to continue enjoying ourselves and making money.

The results of tomorrow election will drastically alter the path we walk the next four years. We've already lost friends, we have already damaged family relationships. I don't appreciate hearing my wife called a Nazi by my cousin when her grandmother fled from the Nazi's. Those are changes as a result of this election cycle. Good for you nothing changes. For me everything changes, either way.

It won't be poor sportsmanship, it will be survival, if this goes bad.

If nothing else, the question of how brother tuned against brother during the American Civil War has been answered.
Reguardless of who wins we’ll all be fine. Talked with my pal in Idaho last night, he’s ready to start shooting people. Then I asked him how his townhouse development is going and he said he’s gonna make a few million when’s it’s all done. People growl and grumble but at the end of the day everyone will keep on trucking. This civil war huffing and puffing is interesting to say the least, 330M people in this country, most are over weight and out of shape, I don’t see them running and gunning for more than a few blocks😂

Ya I always get a chuckle out of the gloom and doomers. They panic like the world is going to end. It was just 3.75 years ago people thought we would be in a great depression and the markets would crash like we have never seen before. I feel for the people that their blood pressure sky rockets and cant sleep at night and always worry due to whos in office. Anywho Trump better win or im going to be pissed!! 🤣

I'm 80 years old and my greatest fear are all the illegal border jumpers, believe it or not, not all of them love AMERICA, there is currently more that 20,000 military age chinese males in our country most of which are living on land boardering our military bases. There are also many millions of other people that hate out country, my fear is for my childern and grand childern, I love this country and fly the AMERICAN FLAG 24/7/365 and will stop anybody that trys to FUCK WITH IT!!!
This needed to be a Trump commercial.

Yeah Im super worked up about things beyond my control, you should be too it’s quite productive 😉
Is it possible that some things that you categorize as “beyond your control” may really be, to some small degree, actually things that you just don’t want to commit to, or simply don’t have the time to commit to trying to influence?
I mean you’re a busy guy without question.
And by extension, these are things that others may commit to (having the time and resources) with the belief that they CAN induce at least a small bit of movement?

In other words, beyond your control and beyond my control may not be the same thing?
It’s completely understandable why you have this outlook living in SoCal. Your hands are tied really.
I get that.
Some people just don’t share that type of defeatism, and I find it puzzling that a successful person wants to promote that sort of thing?
For me, success is not just an individual metric, it means more than that.

I’ve been involved with local politics here in town, figured I had something to offer and was willing to contribute. Played the game for a few years, got appointed to committees, spoke at counsel meetings, really put in the time to make a difference. Total exercise in futility with not a good damn thing to show for it, matter of fact things went backwards. So maybe I put in 1000 hours of time being of service, WTF for? I’ll never get that time back and those fucktards at city hall will gladly keep taking both time and money without a second thought, fuckem in the neck.

At this point I sorta see the USA as Mexico, if you have cash you can do what you want and pay the mordida along the way, the system is corrupt and broken. I have limited time and resources to apply to things that are a waste, best to cut the losses and move on quick, not here for a long time as you well know. While I admire your optimism about having an impact, after the 15 minutes it takes to vote, I’ll wash my hands of it all and move on with my life.

I don't see them running and gunning either, that is not what will happen. Most those people have never cleaned those firearms, so gunning might be shorter then a few steps.
I do really wish i could be more apathetic. I'm going to attempt that personal improvement starting Thursday.

That sucks.
I’m going to keep trying anyway, in my own ways.
I dont involve myself directly in politics, that can be quite futile in the wrong geopolitical location, as you well know.
My course is research and exposure.
In todays digital world I think it’s more influential.

When/If your Wife, Mother, Sister, or Daughter suffers a Brutal Beating and then "Gang-Raped" before being murdered. Remember to Not Complain to anyone, because these Elections Ain't no reason to Allow your Blood Pressure to "ROCKET"


Nothing To Chuckle About, But then again it's your type that Cry and Whine the Loudest when "SHIT" goes Sideways.;)
