Brazil is waiting for the end of this brouhaha; I think Bolsonaro won't congratulate a President-Elect until December 14th.

Caesar himself almost got proscribed, he had relatives and connections who convinced Sulla to(grudgingly) get his name off the lists. It is said that Sulla, when he took Caesar off the proscription list, said something like 'I'll spare him if that's your wish, but be warned; I see in him a...

We shall see. Early last week, I thought Trump had about 20% chances of winning this. This number hasn't changed yet, IMO, but right now time is on Biden's side.

That's my read of the situation as well. If nothing happens by the end of this week, it will only get likelier and likelier that Biden will win from then on.

Top comment on that one resumes it all: "Age is just a number" "You know what else is a number? 911"

Traditionally, the day of sweets here is the Feast of Saints Cosmas and Damian(September 26th). Halloween has never been really celebrated here. And with shops importing Black Friday, I think Halloween will get discarded. Still, the day to put on Christmas decorations is the first day of...

Yeah, people do this here as well. Idiots.

Hasn't Tucker Carlson recently(earlier this year) renewed his contract? I think so, but may be mistaken.

There is an H-Game named 'My Wife Is the President', this would be 'My Wife Is a Fraudster'.

Urgh. KAGA is, in Portuguese, homophone with one of the imperative forms(EDIT, one of the present tense forms as well) of the verb "cagar"("to take a dump", "to shit"). Yes, that's a problem with the ship name as well.

I think you nailed it.

Oh, some people will remember... but will act as if they have never heard of the guy.

Er, Cheney? The same Cheney whom the Democrats tried to get in trouble and were spanked by in his testimonies in Congress? The Dick Cheney who, after proving that many of his accusers were complicit in the decisions they were trying to prosecute him for(by declassifying documents that showed...

There have been complaints since(IIRC) at least the Clinton years about voter ID, yes, but I'd guess things will get more serious about this now.

(Again, please note I'm not an US citizen) I assume from 5. that 4. means a receipt showing who you voted for. I'm against this one solely for the fact it means your vote isn't secret anymore. I'd be rather... wary of having my vote being tracked down. Other than that, I see no issues.

Nah, I suspect we haven't seen the Election from Hell yet.

My understanding is there's a lot of influence trafficking as well, and that might be the biggest benefit for the universities.

For a 90's cosplay to work, they will have to ignore a few things. Like the fact Russia was in tatters, and China was much, much smaller than it is right now. I won't go into the economy, because it was doing well before the WuFlu, and who knows how it'll be now.

As much as I wished for it to be the 90's again it won't. But I wouldn't put past the Democrats to try acting as it were.

I have already relaxed. Still rooting for a win, but if it doesn't happen, I'm not getting on my knees and screaming nooo. I remember Clinton and Obama. BTW, even though there has been a meltdown here, it has been somewhat mild - maybe a bit worse than the weeping and gnashing of teeth in 2008...
