    It is looking like Facebook is already planning for a delayed election result. I was reading that they are warning people not to accept the first results that come out, and it sounds like they are banning some of the election information.
    Another interesting thing is that Facebook is now paying people $25 a week to inactivate their facebook account for the next couple of months.

    Once they find how many votes they need on election day, the Democrats will keep filling out fake ballots and Democrat-run states and polling places will accept them however late they come in, and however fraudulent they might be.

    Tonight is supposed to be the presidential debate between Trump and Biden. Assuming that it happens, because there are still options to be settled by both campaigns, at this point.
    Biden is asking for a break every half hour, and Trump is asking for a third party to check for in-ear devices, like Hillary wore at the 2016 debates.

    However, I was reading something interesting this morning , and this is just someone’s opinion, not verified facts; but interesting to think about in any case.
    There is a hearing implant that has been developed that can be implanted in your skull just above the ear, with little wires that connect inside of your ear.
    If Joe Biden was having an implant done and recovering from this over the summer, that would explain at least part of why he was said to be “hiding in the basement”, and not out and about, even for the Democratic convention.

    So, how the device works, is that it can be turned on and off by a remote control, probably in the person’s pocket.
    If Biden needs help, he puts his hand in his pocket (or wherever he has the remote), puts his head down and listens to the answers from the device, then smiles at everyone and gives the answer that he has been told to say.
    When we watch the debate tonight, I will be looking for signs of something like this happening when Biden is being asked questions and see how his response is handled.

    Another thing that I wonder about, is his ability to control his anger. At several of the speaking rallies, he has been asked questions he didn’t like, and totally exploded at the person asking the questions , and this has happened even with news reporters who asked him something he didn’t want to talk about.
    He has said several times that he wants to “take Trump out back and show him a thing or two”, or words similar to that, and I think that it is possible that he will become aggressive on stage tonight.

    I remember when he debated Sarah Palin, that when she gave an answer about something, he said, "That's a bunch of malarky!" I wonder if he will say that again. The Oxford dictionary defines it as "meaningless talk; nonsense". I'll bet we hear a lot of that tonight.

    I remember when Joe debated Paul Ryan and laughed all the way through the debate. Mainly at Ryan and his and Romney's platform. Guess who won, so let's be cautious here folks. It seems like from what I've been hearing, so many feel sorry for Biden having lost 1st place before 3 times that they'll put him over this time. Wrong reason to say the very least, and I hope it doesn't become fact.

    They are just now saying that Biden wants to do a virtual debate instead ! I haven’t seen what Trump says about that, so we have to keep checking for new information, I guess.

    I said it before that if the debate is virtual they'll be able to put up a CGI Joe Biden who knows all the answers and talks in complete sentences, while the real one takes a nap. It was a joke but you wonder what is possible these days.

    So far as I can see, it's still a go on Fox.

    As far as I can see, it does still seem to be. I looked at Biden and Trumps twitter feeds and there is nothing that says it won’t happen; so they must have worked everything out already.
    When checking, I found this post that is a retweet of a CNN post from earlier, and is probably taken down by now; but very odd that they refer to Biden as the “former democratic nominee” for tonight’s debate.
