Except during tomato and sweet corn season I don’t eat a lot of vegs, unless beans and potatoes count. I plan to roast some sweet potatoes and garlic for feast day in a couple of weeks but that’s about it.
Joe Biden is not “Absolutely” our president…
Well, to be most accurate, there is over a 99,5% probability that he is the President-Elect of the U.S.
Not the President until inauguration.
Of course, we live in a world of infinite possibilities, and you’re saying there’s a chance….
Or perhaps you’re just saying you don’t personally support him, or feel supported by him? Either way, your personal right. I just hope that this web space may be- maybe- a way to converse on specifics and grow in understanding,
And I suppose I could add- if there was a question about where the 99.5% number came from,- that it comes from statistical projections based upon votes received and reported by local and statewide election officials. After those officials have already vetted votes for validity. But, like here in GA, there will be an audit, as well as investigations of any reports of irregularities, so after the states certify votes, there will be an even closer to 100% probability of someone being the “President-Elect”. At that point, it may even be 100%, unless the statistical models build in potential electoral college shenanigans, which they probably don’t. Regardless, the odds are more than overwhelmingly in one particular candidate’s favor.
