Trump is going to win the popular vote, but Biden will win a narrow victory on the electoral college.

Ancap Update:
Brazil-Argentine Diplomatic Crisis (Milei Isolationism Speedrun any%)
Brazil will respond if Milei extends crisis; ambassador may be withdrawn.
Diplomatic Crisis Article
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government is not ruling out taking measures to retaliate against Argentine President Javier Milei if he escalates the diplomatic crisis during his visit to Santa Catarina this weekend.
Milei refused to attend the Mercosur summit, scheduled for Asunción on Monday, and opted for a meeting with Jair Bolsonaro and leaders of the regional far right, at an event organized by Eduardo Bolsonaro.
Until Friday, Milei had not even informed the Brazilian government that he would be arriving in Brazil, in a clear breach of diplomatic standards. The order in the Planalto Palace was not to fall for Milei's provocations, who in recent days has once again poked at Lula and criticized the Brazilian government.
The logic is that it won't be the Argentinian who sets the tone for the relationship between the two countries with his comments, which are seen as strategies to divert the focus from the domestic crisis. The government's hope is that he will repeat his participation in a similar event in the US, when he held back on criticizing Joe Biden.
But the government's understanding is that it cannot simply remain silent if Milei uses an event in Brazil to offend Lula. In this case, the Brazilian authorities are considering the following options, depending on the seriousness of the Argentine's behavior:
Freezing Relations:
The Planalto Palace and Itamaraty may hold off on confirming the accreditation of Argentina's ambassador to Brasilia. This would prevent the diplomat from carrying out his duties and would send a diplomatic message that there would be no tolerance for Milei's involvement in Brazilian domestic politics, especially with an actor who has been declared ineligible.
Direct Relations with Province Governors:
One option being considered by Brasilia would be to expand the Planalto Palace's relationship directly with the governors of Argentine provinces that are opposed to President Milei. The Brazilian government estimates that, in certain provinces, there would be more interest in expanding cooperation with the Brazilian market than the relationship with Milei.
Break off Relations:
If Milei's comments and attitudes are considered excessively serious, Itamaraty would then permanently withdraw the Brazilian ambassador in Buenos Aires, until there is a formal apology from the Argentine president. In this case, the signal would be the strongest, in terms of the impact on bilateral relations
Both in Itamaraty and in the Planalto Palace, sources insist that they don't want the relationship to reach this crisis level. The existence of large numbers of Brazilians in the neighboring country, the investment and trade relationship and the strategic consideration of contacts between the two largest countries in South America could not be overlooked.
Argentina's beef consumption is the lowest in 110 years
This year, each Argentine is expected to consume 45 kg of beef, which is the lowest level in 110 years, according to a report published on Friday (5/7) by the Clarin newspaper portal (clarin.com), based on a report released by the Rosario Trade Exchange (BCR).
"Beef consumption in Argentina has been on a downward trend since the second half of the last century," said the BCR. This downward trend in demand is aggravated by the current recession in the neighboring country, says the report, adding that many Argentine consumers have opted for other cheaper proteins, such as chicken and pork.
Never lose joepe
Keep that in mind, they designed this drive to improve loading times. That's all I know!
"The PS quintuple. The PS quintuple!"
People get them thinking they’re badass and don’t bother training them. They can be very stubborn breeds, as most terriers are. And then the idiots just let them maul people’s pets and act shocked when the fucking things get shot or maced in response.
They’re also very popular with chuds here
People buy these dogs the same way they buy guns, in the hope that one day they'll be able to shoot and kill someone without any legal repercussions. Then they are surprised when it backfires and the dog attacks them. 80% of people who own pit bulls are basically people who mistreat a dangerous animal instead of being responsible owners and doing the safety things necessary to own a pit bull.
I have a family friend who had a pit bull since he was a puppy (he died of old age some years ago). He was very aggressive towards strangers, but once he got to know the person, he practically didn't care and, if he really liked the person, he would try to play with them like any dog does.
His daughter doesn't think so.
Next step. Take over Labour. 
That would be the funniest moment of the entire history of the UK. Imagine the Tories with 0 seats. lol
Bolivian Congress approves bill to join Mercosur
The approval of the protocol comes at a crucial time, as it coincides with Luis Arce's participation in the Mercosur summit in Paraguay, scheduled for next Sunday
Andrónico Rodríguez, president of the Senate, told the press: "We have managed to pass the bill that is Bolivia's accession to Mercosur, the law is already sanctioned and its immediate promulgation is assured."
The bill was approved by the Bolivian Chamber of Deputies in June and received final approval from the Senate on Wednesday night. The exact date of promulgation by President Arce has not yet been confirmed.
The approval of the protocol comes at a crucial time, as it coincides with Luis Arce's participation in the Mercosur summit in Paraguay, scheduled for next Sunday. In addition, the Bolivian president is scheduled to meet with the Brazilian President on Monday in Santa Cruz.
Bolivia's entry as a full member of Mercosur represents a milestone for the country. Mercosur, created in 1991 by the founding countries Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, seeks to strengthen economic and political integration in South America.
Imagine if they pull a Antonio Salazar on Biden? Like they keep pretending he is still the president and is running. Meanwhile they put Kamala on his place, like what they did with Caetano.
Every time a neoliberal fails, first they say he wasn't neoliberal enough. And then some years later they reabilitate the politician.
