Some political humor, sorry it isn't more bi-partisan but those are the breaks:
 
Congratulations to Donald J. Trump for winning
the silver medal in the 2020 U.S. Presidential race!
 
Hopefully, Biden will never be the leader of my country
Because if he is, something‘s gone wrong with the Canadian legal system.
 
I think there should be a vote recount.
It’ll be awesome to see Trump lose twice.
 
Joe Biden is not my president!!
At least not till January, which won’t come soon enough.
 
Donald Trump has now had the true 2020 experience...
He got Covid-19, lost his job, and he's being evicted.
 
Why is Donald Trump actually angry about the election outcome?
It's a loss he can't write off on his tax returns.
 
It's Trump's own fault that he lost...
He spent 4 years saying, "Make America Great Again", so this week 74 million people finally did.

I won the lottery today!!!!
 
Well, I only got the first two numbers, but my lawyers are working on having them stop the count.

I think a lot of people are ignoring the "only".
 
To make a higher minimum wage work in the way that people are wanting it to work, there needs to be changes to more things than only the minimum wage.

How should the American taxpayer recoup Trump's expensive presidency?
Make his eviction pay-per-view.
 
At one of his rallies Trump had the crowd chanting 12 more years!
Personally I'm hoping for 12 to 20 with time off for good behavior.
 
Why is Donald Trump moving to Egypt?
To live in a state of de Nile.
 
Biden: Mr. President, do you know what the irony was about this election?
Trump: I don't know Joe. What was the irony about this election?
Biden: I beat you in my sleep.
 
It's no surprise Nevada is taking so long to count their ballots.
Anyone smart enough to count in Vegas gets kicked out and banned for life.

What's the difference between 100,000 political jokes and a kid falling off a bike?
 
I still laugh every time I see a kid fall off a bike....

The largest city in North Yorkshire has mysteriously vanished!
 
Police are desperately searching for Leeds.

I’ve secretly converted to Norse paganism
 
Shhhhhhh! I’m trying to keep it Loki.

Trump may end up being only a one term president.
But it sure seemed like eight years.
 
Congratulations to a man who just secured a job for the next 4 years!
Jim Carrey really is an American treasure and I'm happy that he'll be gracing our TVs for many Saturdays to come.
 
Trump 2020
Who knew it was an expiration date?
 
EVICTED FAMILY NEEDS HELP MOVING! MUST BE OUT BY JANUARY 20th!
Please send any unneeded moving supplies to:

As a Nevadan, I'm tired of people insinuating that we can't count. We are a great state filled with intelligent people. In fact, I can list off 20 ways we are better than our neighboring states.
Just let me take my shoes and socks off first.
 

It's 2021, and President Joe Biden is told he needs to assemble a cabinet
Coming back from IKEA, he realizes he's greatly misunderstood the task.
 
As a gamer I find it strange that Biden was declared the winner...
Trump had way more kills.
 
Why did Trump visit Sesame Street?
He wanted to stop The Count.
 
This 2020 Presidential election reminds me of the 2000 election....
But a lot less Gore-y.

Same here, considering I've had my hopes dashed at the last minute way too often.
 
In 2016, I went into such a rut after the election since I spent a lot of campaigning for Hillary Clinton. I started campaigning for Joe Biden relatively late for that reason. I got the same feeling I had four years ago on November 3, after Trump seemed to be leading in all the battleground states. Even after Biden pulled ahead, I wasn't able to relax until today. I was cautiously optimistic, but I didn't dare become hopeful. Now it feels like my work has paid off.
 
Not everything paid off, though. I worked mainly with the Texas Democrats, writing letters and sending texts. I personally sent over 3,000 text messages that last week. I knew that turning Texas blue was a long shot, but it's still disappointing to fall short.

Let's assume the only change is that the minimum wage rises so we pay more per hour for the same number of hours at the bottom of the pay scale.  What happens?
 
The more skilled, experienced, higher-paid employees see those at the bottom getting more.  They are, or so they feel, more valuable than those at the bottom.  They want higher compensation.  Will we have the line staff, the shift manager and the store manager all earn the same, or will wages rise across the scale to compensate, and maintain an incentive to advance to more senior, more responsible, higher-work, higher-stress positions?
 
The business owners can either accept lower profits, or they can raise prices.  Now, let's remember that many small business owners are also not making billions annually - they are just squeaking by too.    Many are earning less than minimum wage for their own labour.  Unless the goal is to concentrate all business ownership in mega-corporations, they have to be able to survive too.They raise prices so they can make ends meet.  Not just to cover increased wages - all of their suppliers are raising prices, because they have to pay higher wages too, and those higher costs also have to be covered.
 
So, with higher prices, those higher wages aren't translating to a higher standard of living, just higher inflation.  An arbitrary change to wage levels, with no changes in actual resources or productivity, just means the price of those resources goes up.  There is still only so much to go around.

Seriously wrong tense there.  
It *should be* over. barring the challenges.  Point of irony here:  if cases end up at the Supreme Court and Trump still loses, it's his own packed court.
 
But I'm not going to say it's over until Biden takes the oath of office.  I am perfectly content to be called paranoid, but it's not a done deal until then.  And Trump still holds the position;  he's got, what, 70-odd days to throw a tantrum.  He took the chair of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission away earlier this week, for promoting wind and solar, and gave it to a different member.  He's been reported as having most agencies work on regulatory rollbacks;  those are likely to be made official.  As long as he's got the office, there's a lot of damage he can do.
By the time I started becoming semi-conscious...

BEST 
BIRTHDAY 
PRESENT 
EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Meadows, Trump's Chief of Staff, has tested positive for COVID.
 
As a side note, I think it's interesting that the White House waited until after midnight to release that information.
 
He tested positive on Monday, Tuesday, or, Wednesday. One source inside the White House said Meadows informed a close circle of advisers after Tuesday’s election
 
He'd been seen running around Trump's campaign headquarters maskless on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
 
I'm sure we'll get more information about his movements this week after the press wakes up in the morning.

Looking at the meme that the Electoral College was to protect slavery because the slave states were the low population states
 
1790 census information 
https://web.archive.org/web/20141121134738/http://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0056/tabs15-65.pdf
 
Virginia 691,937    total slave population 287,959
Pennsylvania 434,373    total slave population 3,737
Massachusetts 378,787 + 96,540 in the District of Maine    total slave population 0
North Carolina 393,751    total slave population 100,572
New York 340,120    total slave population 21,324
Maryland 319,728    total slave population 103,036
South Carolina 249,073    total slave population 107,094
Connecticut 237,946    total slave population 2,764
New Jersey 184,139    total slave population 11,423
New Hampshire 141,885    total slave population 158
Georgia 82,548    total slave population 29,264
Rhode Island 68,825    total slave population 948
Delaware 59,096    total slave population 8,887
 
Note that slaves were counted where they were. And that it was legal for slaves to follow their owners around so if an owner who resided in a slave state was "temporarily" living in a free state, the slave could accompany him. So that's why there's slave counts in nominally free states.
 
But since slaves couldn't vote, subtract them out to see if the slave states were low population states and free states were high population states.
 
Massachusetts 475,327 free
Pennsylvania 430,636 free
Virginia 403,978 slave
New York 318,796 free
North Carolina 293,179 slave
Connecticut 235,182 free
Maryland 216,692 slave
New Jersey 172,716 free
South Carolina 141,979 slave
New Hampshire 141,727 free
Georgia 53,284 slave
Rhode Island 67,877 free
Delaware 50,209 slave
 
For the top six most populous states, there's 4 free and 2 slave.
 
But the claim is that slave states were the least populous states so they demanded the Electoral College to protect them from the ravages of democracy so we have to look at the least populous states to see if the claim is true.
 
So looking at the six least populous states, there's 3 free states and 3 slave states. 
 
I'd say that myth is busted.
 
(That was a hell of a lot of work for not much return. I guess I'll have to bask in the glow of work well done.)

I do want them to have a correct tally.  But I did literally just post that this story is being spread by a known disinformation agent.  So we'll see.

House Democrats had a three hour long conference call which was essentially live-tweeted as one of the members or their staff let press listen in to the call and tweet out large portions of the content as it was happening.
 
It started out with them ripping into Pelosi liberally but turned to the election in general. About half-way through, members of the press who weren't listening in live started contacting members of congress asking to be allowed to listen in as well and everyone on the call was made aware that their words were being made public. The juicy content apparently dropped off after that.
 
Some interesting quotes from congressmen and congresswomen in their own words:
 
Pelosi: “This has been a life or death fight for the very fate of our democracy. We did not win every battle, but we did win the war. We held the House. Joe Biden is on a clear path to be the next president of the United States.”
 
Democrats need to win both Georgia Senate seats in the January run-off elections in order to have a bare majority when you include the VP's vote. In that specific context, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn: “[if] we are going to run on Medicare for All, defund the police, socialized medicine, we're not going to win."
 
Pelosi responded by saying House members should focus on an "agenda of lowering health care, better paychecks, building infrastructure.”
 
Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell of Florida, who lost her race, started crying while urging Democrats to remain unified and not “tweet” attacks at one another.
 
Rep. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, whose race is still undecided: "We need to be pretty clear. It was a failure. It was not a success. We lost incredible members of Congress." As she continued and got more worked up, she yelled, “No one should say ‘defund the police’ ever again. Nobody should be talking about socialism." She went on to warn that Democrats continued in that vein in 2022: "We will get f------ torn apart."
 
Note the House Democrats who lost their races were moderates in swing states so a lot of the content of the call was blaming the more radical talk, and members like The Squad (Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley), for costing the party those seats.
 
Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington responded that they needed to keep talking up things like socialism and defund the police in order to engage their base, “Our base is turning out to help save this country. If we don't keep these folks engaged … we will lose again in 2024, and we may lose again in the next midterm."

You might try contacting the studio and asking if they'd donate the art for your cover, or sell it for a modest fee, if you give them credit for it and recommend the GM and players watch the movie on Prime Video to get the appropriate tone for western genre.
 
And maybe recommend watching other western movies which are for sale in their inventory.
 
Increasing interest in westerns can only be good for studios which have a large inventory of westerns available for view on demand.
