Anyway, if we're going to be sticklers about semantics, you've already agreed to pay me regardless . So, no reply necessary.

And hey, I have no problem admitting that "all the evidence" isn't in... but enough of it IS for me to be confident of the outcome.

You're playing with us, or you have extraordinary hope. Either is ok.
You’re right. I screwed up.

PM me and I’ll send you $20.00

BTW admitting all the evidence isn’t in is a very big thing.

My thanks to you for admitting that.

You’ve got about 8 minutes remaining on your time.
Don't put words in my mouth, or rather stop being delusional. I said no such thing. I said all the evidence to date has shown a clear Biden victory. IF there was new evidence presented that changed this outcome I would follow that evidence. But none has been presented.

You are applying the possibility fallacy. It is possible that something unknown will emerge. It is possible, but it is highly improbable at this point. Lots of things are possible, but that doesn't prevent us from making a determination based on the preponderance of evidence.

So yes Virginia, Biden won (but there still is no Santa Claus ).

No where have I said what you attributed to me. You can play whatever delusional games you want with your own opinions, but don't lie about what I said.

LOL.

I think you’d be way ahead of the game collecting the $20.00 now than you’d be hoping for a get-together under the “New Normal.”

PM me. I’ll send you the $20.00

(BTW you were going to send me US currency right?

I'm predicting the resumption of more normal US-Canada visits by June 2021. Also, I'm a believer in paying it forward (and karma, I guess). So if you meet some sailors in a bar and buy them a round, the debt is discharged.

But for heaven's sake don't bring up politics with them.
