Out of the Blue [Nov 05, 2024, 10:27 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Today is Election Day in the U.S. If you are a voter, I'm really hoping this is
not the first you're hearing of this. MrsBlue and I are about to duck out to do
our civic duty. I promised the Pickle Rick on my desk an "I Voted" sticker, and
he seems excited about that. We expect things to go smoothly for us, so I really
appreciate those who willingly endure long-lines and other obstacles that stand
between them and democracy. The stakes are high and the rhetoric has reflected
that, so hopefully we can proceed peacefully through this process and its
aftermath, Guy Fawkes Night notwithstanding.
To follow up on my jury duty summons, last night I learned I don't have to report tomorrow, so my luck held out. My next check-in is after business tomorrow, when I find out if I'm required to report on Thursday. I'll keep you posted.

He’s an election denier and asked Blue to close his previous account under the same name*, after promising to never post again if donnie lost (which he did) in 2020.
*donnie brought us so many firsts, like the first President to not attend his successor’s inauguration, and in a round about way the first to cause Blue’s News to have two user accounts with the same name.

Don't be jelly dude. He won this time, so I'm back! Seemed poignant.
Actually, I've always visited this site since, because I think Blue has the best gaming news website in existence.
