A good friend of mine is managing Trump'a campaign in a key battleground state. He called me last night asking if I'd work the war room next week. I had to break his heart and tell him I voted for Clinton.

Looks like one less Christmas card this year for you!

Yes, but did you watch the bit?

Yes, he does.

There haven't been a lot of high-quality polls in Michigan, for example, and he's been campaigning there. Internal polling might be telling him something.

That said, everything has to go right for Trump to win, but that could happen.

I still wouldn't count out one last Trump controversy, either. Someone leaks his taxes, that mythical "Apprentice" tape with him using the "n-word," a development in the child-rape lawsuit.

Election night is going to be exciting, interesting, and looooooong. We might have to wait for Colorado and Arizona or really late Ohio returns to know for sure who's winning. Unless Hillary wins Florida early.

There have been two big stories in the last 24 hours. One about Trump's taxes (or lack of) and the other about his relationship with Russia. Neither one has really made a big splash though. Both are big deals in my book, but at this point nobody is going to give a shit.

Nate Silver has him up to 25% now. So he has a shot. Still though Hillary can lose Ohio and Florida and still win. Trump needs to sweep these swing states in order to win.

I voted on Saturday and want this shit to be over. I'm a political junkie, but honestly...I'm over this one.

One thing I love about buzz is his sense of humour.
It's that he's so self deprecating, able to have a laugh at his own expense. Humble too. Just such a friendly, fun guy to have around the place. He always brightens the mood.

He's totally not an angry white guy.

If you were the smartest guy in the room and had to deal with all the uneducated people here, you'd be angry too. We should all be more understanding me thinks.

How far back do you guys go?  I thought Flagg was a new to the boards back then.

SLC are you in Salt Lake?  I think I asked you this before, my brothers out there.

I'm 43 fwiw, def not a milennial. Old head right here.

Some of us go way back. I'd say I started posting around 2000 on HTGTH. Before that I was a reader on The Lost Rose.

I lived there twice. Once when I was 20 and another time in my 30s. I live in Las Vegas now. I would live in SLC again probably but the air pollution is horrendous, especially in the winter. It's a shame because it's beautiful and has a great outdoor lifestyle.

SLC I remember had a site called the tinfoil linux too.

SLC may have banned me in my days of youthful folly or I forgot the address, probably both.

I rarely banned anybody that I recall. Even Flagg. But maybe I did...I can't remember anything anymore. Although I would ban Buzz, he's a loser.

I know that nobody here talked like that to one another while you were gone. Everybody else knows it too.

Randall Flagg wrote:

Nah, I was posting on HTGTH back in 04.  I think SLC had a site called gnrsyndicate before he went to Crass.

Correct. I got sick of GnR, thought it became a joke, so switched it to a whatever forum. Site remains, but I haven't touched it in a long time.

It was absolutely buzz, sorry for the confusion.

You still have your fucking hard-on for me?  You know you really took someone down hard when they just can't let it go in spite of the fact I've hardly said a word in weeks. 

Yuck it up with you and your one supporter.  So many people have been laughing at you for months now that there's no way you'll ever recover from it.  Good day.


Like I said...better when you're not here.
