    No I think the outgoing President should not be using the last mths of his tenure contemplating making decisions that seem to be more about projecting an image that he is still relevant rather than serving America's best interests in the region .. 

    Iran cannot match the U S militarily , everyone knows that but Iran has proven in the past to be quite capable of disrupting vessel movement through the Straits of Hormuz including hijacking oil tankers .. that then sends the price of oil up and the markets into jitters which has an effect on everyone .. And does it really look good that the most powerful military in the world is ordered to initiate an unprovoked attack with little or no intelligence of any imminent danger to the U S or its assets to justify it .. 

    Intelligence you can buy by the kilo, has never stopped the US or Israel ... or the UK (remember Tony B.).

    I always said your health should be your business only, so don’t spend and waste your money and the people’s money for something <deleted>! 

    In cases where it concerns a contageous desease where the virus only can be beaten when a certain percentage of the population got vaccinated.

     

    In that case you can't say it's only your own business and I wouldn't be surprised when too many scary people are refusing a shot that it will be mandatory.

     

    I wished they would have done that when the polio virus was around, too many people (children) died because there parents refused to vaccinate them because of religious reasons.

    Is it pathetic to tell the truth? If you are a Trump supporter, probably yes.

    No, I am not a fan of Trump or any other POTUS but I have the feeling that he's a man with a plan, but he need that 2nd term to execute it because then he has his hands free. Doesn't happen many times in a century that a man with balls is at the helm ... Biden certainly not ...

    OK, thanks,

    I had maybe hoped for something better

     

    without thinking detailed about such a scenario I would guess that turning

    from counting # electors to counting # states has the potential of having a president

    with a mandate based on a result further from popular vote than "normal"

     

    Looks like it's more complicated.

    Watching the screen now showing Biden on 220 and Trump on 213.  Also has popular vote showing Biden at 49.9% against Trump at 48.6% Wouldn't call that green for Trump at the moment.  But I think it all rests and the swing from the postal votes.

    Suppose Biden gets Nevada and Pa, Trump the rest ...

    Counts still to finish predict another 77 for Trump and 6 for Biden.

    (with 90% of those votes counted)

    Counts finished give 213 to Trump and 238 for Biden.

     

    Every vote uncounted would have to be for Biden ...... and even then they probably wouldn't change the result.

    290 for Trump and 244 for Biden, not even close as Trump wins by 20%.

     

    Odd most of the remaining states to be counted are for Trump ....... coincidence?

    Total is 538. But ok Trump will have his 2nd term ...
