He'll get all of those. We just need MN, MI, PA and WI and hang on to the states Hillary had. I don't worry about the states we're going to lose - I want the ones we can win. FL is a lost cause and we spend too much time there. GA - never going to happen. NC - better chance but probably not. OH and TX can go. Not worth the time. I'm Virginia, and I take every Political call for polls that I get. And I lie. I tell them I'm 100% Republican Trump all the way and I'm switching from Democrat to Republican and I'm not above lying at this point. Let him and his cronies think they're doing better than they are.

Trump did it the last time too - there are pictures of him with the gay flag around his back. They have no moral bottom to what they will try and pull. Gay flags, rainbows, and then the first move he made was to try to ban Trans people from the military - over 30,000 of them and say that he consulted with the Generals. LOL. No one gave him advice and he would have eliminated 30,000+ people with no plan to replace them or the jobs they do. The whole family is a bunch of desperate reality TV ogres. Warms my heart though to know they won't have anywhere to go once it's over. NY doesn't want anything to do with them, and his beloved home in FL - many of the people are over him. I know several people in upper circles in NY that have told me no one returns Ivanka and Jared's calls and they are out of the group now. Ivanka in particular always marketed herself as a Democrat and she's a liar.

I watched - I thought Anne stunk. Her whole purpose was to be nasty and she was likely dumb as a box of rocks.

I worry about that as well with NC. But at this point honestly I think it's a better bet than FL. As a Democrat I feel like we've spent way too much time on FL for too many years.

I'm in Northern Virginia and early voting has been heavy here. I hope it's a great sign. The suburban areas have a lot of Harris/Biden signs up in yards. I really want NC to turn over to Blue, and if we can swing Michigan and Pennsylvania and hang on to the states that Hillary had, we will win. I still wouldn't spend time on FL - I just don't trust it and we don't need it. Would be a nice to have, but if we can pull Michigan and Penn then we will be close to shutting the door on him. Polls I'm seeing from Ohio have been disappointing so I'm at the stage where I wouldn't spend time there. Pull NC, MI, and PA. FL would be a nice surprise but I don't trust it. This has been another good time of shedding "friends". Facebook and Twitter have been riddled with Rudy boy's lies and people are eating it like candy. He's a crook. Total crook. So low, bottom of the barrel stuff. I've cleaned house yet again of "friends". So funny that the Dump's followers and Faux News spew the garbage - basically they're going to foreign governments to try to dig up dirt. Treasonists. And magically it happens (just like last time) a few weeks before the election. Just the stuff you find stuck to the bottom of your worst trash can.

Is My Friend In A Cult? Your Thoughts & Advice...
I was just reading through this - so I'm way late. What I would say is as difficult as it might be, distance yourself from your friend. Just tell her that she can talk to you about anything and that you miss her, but distance yourself from her. She's made her choice, clearly. It's hard to hear and hard to understand, but there are women who actually don't realize that they want to be controlled and abused. If she was in an abusive relationship before, she's likely to repeat the behavior and choose it again and although this might not be physical abuse, she's being controlled and subliminally she wants it. And she's choosing it. The guy is clearly a drug dealer and surrounds himself with people he can supply and the mysterious trips make no sense for a financial planner. As far as the vineyard goes - how is he making the wine? Where are his facilities on the property or does he just claim to provide grapes to actual vineyards? Does he have a vintner (these are the people who actually make the wine). As far as Electronic Dance Music - I was done with that at early 30's. Don't know how old he is but that's a big clue as to the culture. Not necessarily a cult, but definitely swinger/rec drug crowd. I would say there isn't anything you can do other than to distance yourself for your own safety and your family's safety. Carlo will know everything that you talk to Diana about because she will tell him. She's already choosing other people over you and your husband any time she can, and she's setting boundaries around your friendship by only making herself available when convenient for her or her man. Don't be passive aggressive, but find yourself "busy" when she suggests times and places and parties to meet. Tell her you really don't have a lot in common with many of her new set of friends, but you're glad she's happy. And she can talk to you about anything. Don't say you're worried about her or you're concerned, etc. because it will abso get back to Carlo. He's likely already wary of you. Distance and wish her the best. I don't think a cult but I think he's definitely a drug dealing ring leader of a group he created. I don't know honestly if there's a difference. Some kind of religion or dogma involved (usually). Doesn't sound like religion or dogma is involved but the guy (Carlo) is likely a narcissist who is an attention grabber and enjoys being the center of attention and controlling people. Maybe that does make it a cult, I don't know. But when you say he claims to own a restaurant that he never manages or goes to - and you can talk to the people there and find out that a family owns it and he doesn't have anything to do with it - that's cray cray. Easy enough to ask around for Diana. It seems like she wants to believe anything and everything he says - another indication of a circle of abuse, making excuses, or giving reasons for his actions. She's that person that subliminally doesn't know she wants to be controlled and abused and will choose that over her friends.

The Tennis Thread
My Issue is this - we've been having the numbers discussion for several years now over the Men. Who is the GOAT. And it's numbers, numbers, numbers. It's what people know from casual Tennis watching. The discussion is Federer, Nadal, and the Joker. So you might say you don't want to use just the number to judge someone, but it will happen. You're a Tennis fan and get it. The general public is not and Margaret is nasty. I want Serena to have the number. Call me nuts, but it's the truth. Everything is Stats and Numbers and TV now. Doesn't matter that it came from 1958. Maureen Connelly probably would be one of the greats, but she ended her career at 19 and 9 Slams. No one knows that. They'll remember Margaret Court. And if Serena doesn't tie, it will be an asterisk.

I just want the numbers. She's the greatest, but I don't want the trolls to be able to point to Margaret's numbers and say, "well, she still had more majors". As I've heard Chrissy and Martina say - when they came along, players didn't play every slam, and so many people did not go to the Australian Open. That made it much easier for Margaret to rack up the wins.

Reading through some of this thread...re: Sam Querrey...what a dumbas*. There are players in sports that skipped the season regardless that it was held. Ryan Zimmerman (Washington Nationals) sat the season out because they have an 8 month old and another child and he wasn't going to risk it. But to go to Russia with an infant and your wife...how stupid. And then go on the run? He should be arrested - forget the fine. Hiding out in an unknown location? Good God. Aside, I'm getting worried about Serena now. I want her to tie the record at least and hopefully break it. But some other players that have come along are going to make it difficult, along with the other vets and players. So many players that are good now. Achilles is such a nasty injury - it just flares up and is chronic...you pretty much have to stay off your feet as much as possible.

I think the 'new girl' earned her spot...I'm interested to see if it will be competitive or if one will fizzle and it'll be a blowout. I'm worried now about Serena's chances for another Grand Slam title. Achilles is an awful injury and tends to be chronic I would have thought all the time off would have helped but when it's your legs and especially something like a hamstring, calf, achilles...just walking aggravates it. I didn't watch the early rounds and just saw Madison Keys went out in the first round. Good Lord. I just don't think she's ever going to win a Slam now. Too many good players now with new ones coming up and she manages to lose to people she should not be losing to. If there ever was a player that was more like Lindsay Davenport I've never seen one, only Lindsay eventually did win. I don't think Madison will. Even much shorter players have a bigger serve now.

I don't understand instead of fines, why don't they just bar him from attending? You've done this 4 times and a 5th will likely happen in this match so instead of just fines - if you're caught 'x' number of times, you're barred from the stadium. Decide and agree the number of times for coaching, and then enforce it. Money is of no object at this point to them.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show
I still watch but it's not been the same for about 3 years. I'm still a fan and like her, but the constant guest hosting has been a lot. You can tell she doesn't enjoy it anymore, and I think the rumors about her brother and Portia were true. Portia asked her not to renew apparently and her brother told her she should keep going. I don't think her heart is in it. That said, her show is different than other talk shows. I think she relies on audience excitement more than other shows. Kelly can sing, Tamron's show is more informative. Ellen's is more human interest types of things and celebrities, and if the audience can't be there with the cheering and dancing, it takes the wind out of it. I can't imagine 12 days of giveaways with no one there. Or the mother's day episode where she has all of the expecting women in the audience.

I like Kenin but the Dad coaching is annoying. I can't stand they're just willing to pay the fines and do it anyway. Instead of the fines they should start docking points. What did the one chair umpire say? Something like, if you keep speaking in a language I don't understand I don't care what you said but it will be a violation. Because they purposely switch to Russian when they both speak English.

Marine One on it's way at 6:10 to pick up the Orange. Remember he tweeted he'd be out of there at 6:30. Expect a 7:30 or 8:00 departure so that he can suck up as much airtime as possible.

I don't trust this Doctor at all. Total politician. I think I heard him say that it's unsafe for a person who is recovering from COVID to remain in the hospital. WHAT? It's UNSAFE to stay in the HOSPITAL? LOLLLLLL. This crew is unreal. He's not recovered, he's still POSITIVE. And then they said - you receive the same monitoring and level of care at the White House. UM, - sorry to ask - but WHY did you go to Walter Reed? LOLLLL.

I'm really sorry about your family. This infuriates me - and his supporters will eat this up. Like we know - no one has access to this treatment. And he makes it sound like it's just normal. And if Joe turns down a live debate (and I sure would) - he'll just gloat and say he's beaten COVID and Joe hasn't.

I want someone to ask this clown crowd of doctors - can you tell me what percentage of Americans actually have access to this type of treatment? The drugs, the care, etc. How many. What percentage because he just tweeted not to be afraid of COVID, that all the drugs and treatments are available. So tell me please, is this virus dangerous or should we listen to the President - that it's nothing to be afraid of. Go. And I would badger and say, "Great - now say something meaningful".

Pay their respect, flags at half staff. They're nuts. They act like he's dead. The media would say it's rude if you didn't go gallivanting around seeking applause and adoration like a Dictator does? Hardly. The media needs to not show up at these press conferences and let it be crickets chirping. That would P him off more than anything anyone says. Let him go back to the White House and get sicker and get hauled back to Walter Reed if he goes downhill. Just watch, if he goes to the White House, he'll be fighting to go on the rally trail again and debates within days. And he'll say and the Republicans will say he can do what he wants because he's the President. And his tweet - we've developed great drugs, don't be afraid of COVID. Yeah, great drugs and treatments that you had access to that 99.9% of Americans do not. Exactly what we all knew - he'll be using this and the Republicans will use this to just downplay COVID. He'll hold rallies with no one wearing masks - just watch.

I still say it’s all a ploy to take up news 24/7. And can the admin of this board stop the huge signature lines or some of people use specific quotes to reply to? Pages go by with the same signatures and photos and it’s ridiculous.

I'd put a plexiglass divider between me and Lindsay as well even without COVID and I'm the Gay. He's just toxic and will never find his way out of that closet. Victoria doesn't have any Secrets he doesn't know about. He's a rat. If there's one other person that gets ripped other than 45, I'd love it if it were Graham. Just donated $100 to Jaime. I'm donating anywhere and everywhere I can to candidates all over the country. I don't think the Right thinks about that. I'm going after the Senate. Donate regularly even if it's $1 a day to Mark Kelly in AZ. Guess what, Democrats have money too. And if we all do a little, it adds up. It's time to take this country back.

I wondered why all the real Doctors are standing behind the frat boy Doctor who is a Politician? Why do you give someone experimental drugs? He's no longer on Oxygen. So was he or wasn't he? And frat boy Doctor said - he wasn't on Oxygen on Thursday. He wasn't on it on Friday. He's not on it today. WELL, when WAS he on Oxygen if he's "no longer on Oxygen". Well, what I know from watching multiple news channels and listening to Dr. Fauci is that this is a wildcard virus and a roller coaster. You can improve, get a little better, deteriorate, get better, then get on oxygen, then a venilator and die. And pumping experimental drugs into him is eye popping to me. Hearing the cars honking and cheering from a small crowd as they go by is so gross. Why is your boy in the hospital?

I've never heard his Doctor before - he sounded like a politician. He didn't answer a thing. Honestly he looked like an amateur college dude. 72 hours???

It's messaging. It's exactly right. And CNN keeps saying the Doctors should tell the truth - this administration has never told the truth and they sure won't now.
