He needs Michigan and Nevada to get 270

That's a fair point. In 2016 I voted for Clinton, I really just didn't want Trump to win. I was under the impression that Trump winning would lead to the end of the world and that WWIII would occur. Like you, though, nothing negative has happened to me over the last 4 years. However, I'm one of those tedious "centrists" who see value in both parties and particular policies. I decided for this election that I wanted to have my displeasure with the bi-partisan circus voiced with my vote, so I went with Jo Jorgenson. Not that I thought she would win, but because I wanted to have it be known that I, among many others, are tired of only have 2 options. Now, there are some who would say that I threw away my vote, or they say, "If you vote 3rd party that's a vote for [insert name of opposing politician]." But, that's what has led us into this mess we are currently in. Limiting people's voices because you don't like them is anti-American.

We don't know what that is in the USA! When we came here there was absolutely no one else here...

This is certainly interesting. I like hearing what people outside of the US think about our election. I was listening to a theologian (N.T. Wright) talk about how much of an impact the US presidency has on the rest of the world. I don't think most Americans realize that truth.

PA is usually a hard state to track as far as the election goes.

Supreme ruler of the United States. This is the time where we pick our most senile white man to run the country.

I feel like no matter who someone votes for, this is a sentiment that we can all agree with lol

I'm watching while drinking an old-fashioned!

Alright folks. Right now the reports are coming in for the United States Presidential Election. What are your thoughts? (Keep it respectful. If someone disagrees with you, that's okay!) ------- Edit (5 Nov 2020) : I wanted to thank you all for participating in this forum. Many of you have voiced your opinion, responded well to one another, and brought new perspectives forward. Thank you for keeping this a respectful forum, and I look forward to reading more of your responses!

After a large scouting movement the VHL is seeing an impressive number of incoming players. More than doubling the S74 draft class, S75 presents 351 eager newcomers. Among those is goaltender Thadius Sales. Joining the league in the last two weeks of S74, Sales has shown exceptional growth in the net, and this has been reflected in his draft stock. Two weeks ago a peek at the S75 Draft Class came out which showed Sales at #53. Making his appearance on the list only a couple of weeks prior to this, Sales improved his draft rank from #86. While this +33 was impressive, Sales was not satisfied. When asked about his #53 spot, Sales simply said: In 9 days it became evident that Sales was sticking to his word, and his hard-work certainly paid off. A new report, coming out 18 hour ago, now shows Sales at #24! No, that's not a typo. In 9 days Sales soared from #53 to #24 showing a +29 move! There are only four goaltenders currently above him: #11 Kunibuni UnGuri @Berocka #10 Artem Tretiak @Molholt #7 Rara Rasputin @Victor #4 Sirkants Klamasteris @hedgehog337 Each of these players have extensive experience with goaltending, and hockey in general. Sales, however, has very minimal experience, training, and time in the net. It's certainly impressive that he is being ranked even close to them. With the draft coming up soon we wonder Sales' #24 spot is concrete? Not according to Sales. Sales' confidence and work-ethic alone should propel him to the #1 spot, but that's not quite how all of this works. It certainly is an added bonus to his skill on the ice though. Any general manager of a VHL/M team should keep their eyes on Sales, for acquiring him may be one of the best things you can do for your team. -------- 359 words, claiming for week ending 15 Nov 2020

Though not over 200 TPE (yet), that newcomer Sales looks pretty solid as well ?

@fromtheinsidethanks man! I certainly appreciate it!

Because one day children all across the globe will hear the name Thadius Sales and say “man, I wish I could meet him.” Well, then a promotion will come through and they’ll be able to get this SICK photo on their favorite box of Honey Nut Cheerios!

Sweeet! I usually sear them in hot oil in my cast iron. Then I add in some butter, garlic, thyme, and some salt and pepper and baste the steak. It usually turns out incredibly juicy and tasty! My wife doesn't like to eat steak too often, but she loves how I cook it!

This literally sounds amazing. I'm about to pick up a 1/4 of a cow, including some nice steak cuts. I can't wait to try different ways of cooking the meat. How do you prefer to cook your NYS? Grill? Cast iron on the stove? Broiled?

Isn't it interesting how working out actually calms you down!

New to the VHL/M, goaltender Thadius Sales has written this opinion piece for VHL.com “I’ve only been a part of the VHL for just about a month now, and I’ve already learned so much. The community of players, managers, coaches, and fans seems to be positive almost all the way around. There has only been one outburst that I’ve seen, and that came from a relatively unknown player demanding a front-office job and being denied. Being new to the league can be intimidating, but I’ve felt nothing but welcome and heard. When I’ve needed help with anything, managers from other teams even offered to lend me some assistance, which I can’t thank them enough for. I enjoyed my short time with Halifax, but I’m looking forward to seeing where I’ll be drafted to and to play my first full season in the VHL/M. I know that this rookie season will be tough, but I’m confident that the VHL community will not let me fail and will be there every step of the way to watch me achieve greatness!” --------------------- 178 words, for week ending 8 Nov 2020

@GrittyIsKing09T-Swift is very hit or miss with me. I like her most recent album, but my favorite is still 1989. She's a talented artist, but she's had so many style changes over the years that it's hard to nail down exactly what kind of artist she is. Though, I suppose, that could add to her appeal!

I really like this! It's not overly complicated, but doesn't look like something you quickly threw together either. I like the pastel-like coloring, and the brighter orange of the letters on top of the orange of the uniform. I think a small detail you added that I really appreciate is the thin black border. It makes it look like a picture any hockey fan could buy and hang on their wall! Well done! 10/10

This is a very well-written media spot! I appreciate the time you took to make this post personal, and I'm sure your players appreciate it. This goes to show that you, as their GM, watched them over the season and paid close attention. I'm glad to see a "sappy" media spot for sure! 10/10

During the off-season, Thadius Sales enjoys asking questions of fellow VHL/M players. It's one of the only things in this dark dark world that brings him any amount of joy, other than selling paper and playing hockey of course. 1. What are your player's plans during this off-season? 2. Halloween was just a few days ago, did your player dress up and go trick-or-treating? Did they eat any candy? 3. After a long, hard fought season, a player can often forget about mental health. What are you (or your player) doing to maintain sanity? 4. If your player needed to take on a part-time job during the off-season, what would it be? 5. Are there any changes you'd like to see happen for S75? 6. As professional hockey players, we know that a well-balanced diet is important. One of the most important pieces of that diet is protein. What's your favorite cut of steak, and how do you like it done (raw --- well-done, in between)?
