    Despite what the media brays and howls, Trump will win in a substantial landslide!

    The public is being mislead by normally neutral news networks, but the Americans I know are all voting for Trump.

    Well...

    You and the Americans you know..., obviously ain't no readers of “Scientific American”...:

    ***”Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in its 175-year history...
    This year we are compelled to do so...
    We do not do this lightly...
    The evidence and the science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people—because he rejects evidence and science... (continues below...) ”***

    Interesting that you Think it is a valid argument to ignore Science and Facts just because somewhere along the way there is a German involved...

    Specially when the ubiqiuous German DNA omniprescence (for good and bad) doesn't seem to bother you the least in the Haus von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha or in the Pfälzisch–Lothringisch Trump family...

    And..., to make things worst and cementing your Flat-earthian..., QAnonian and Anticommunist conspiracy theories against Science and Facts..., you link us to a exteme right wing “Questionable Source” internet site...:

    Yesterday, our asado exceeded all our expectations. Obviously, I have some individuals severely irritated with me — but the wonderful people who have worked for our family had a pleasant day. Despite being prepared for an intervention — no authorities tried to shut us down. There were several fiestas patrias held throughout the valley.

    From a public relations part for our employees, we garnered tremendous respect. The few that did not follow my example are today furious with me personally.
    I'm a convinced proponent of bread and circuses...

    I would gently remind you that “the ubiqiuous German DNA omniprescence” is a part of our family genetics — as my schwiegertochter is a Deutsche Schule alumnus.

    Also, I'm a strong proponent and believer of natural science over the psychological hysteria that the world has been enduring over the past 9 months. I was all in on the “flatten the curve” strategy 59 best manage the hospitalization overload — but now the bureaucratic “health experts” want to keep the restrictions in place.

    If you refer to the attached chart from Swedish statistics — by Teutonic philosophy they've now achieved herd immunity. Yet we are seeing a resurgence in several countries that observed forced shutdowns.

    Today, I'm fascinated with the political turmoil resulting of a death of an American Supreme Court justice. If you're thought the situation in that country was not as chaotic and divided as it was tomorrow — you would be mistaken, as all Hell is breaking loose today.

    We live in amazing and unbelievable times!

    Of course there was dance with traditional folkloric musicians, but the noise was kept subdued and the event ended very early due to the restrictions.

    All the chaff and countermeasures were a waste of time but gave us confidence.

    Madame and I are staying through the weekend here enjoying the spectacular weather. I hope your location of refuge is as equally pleasant!

    You certainly live in a higher level of culture and sofistication.

    Meanwhile, I subside with a group that prefers beer, chicha and of course, Pisco.

    Good commercial and I envy your elegant and sophisticated surroundings.

    Unfortunately, I find myself isolated here at the end of the earth, surrounded by a group of backward mixed race mestizo campesinos. https://youtu.be/7HxBrLatHDA

    Meanwhile, on this beautiful Sunday in my adobe hovel in the countryside, I'm truly enjoying reading about perhaps is the most contentious presidential election since Al Gore and Bush junior. The political polls are still showing Biden winning, but I'm doubling my wagers to anyone that have already bet against my prediction. (So far, one business associate has accepted my challenge.)

    The news is predicting Trump will nominate Amy Coney Barrett and Joe Biden has countered today he'll select a black woman. Democrats seem mad as hell!

    I think that the Democrats lost their chance, when they chose Biden, but the media data informs I'm completely wrong.

    Stay well!

    Impressive and I love those types of places. I can imagine almost everything offered is of the finest quality.

    I googled the dish, and found it surprising simple with an equal amount of potato and octopus. (Obviously the quality of the polpo is essential.)

    Does the shop also offer insalata di polpo prezzemolata? I adore that dish...

    That whole region of Italy I sincerely adore, especially the people there and the style of living.

    Your video beats mine, but somehow we'll survive this cruel backwards habitat.

    I liked them all, but I appreciated the homage to the Onassis type character with a 60s movie goddess...
