A tragic day

[saxitoxin]

Podesta just took the stage at Clinton campaign headquarters. Hillary is planning on contesting this election. I guarantee it, based on Podesta's comments.

You mean SHE WON'T RESPECT THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION?!

Man, Trump is going to bust out over 300 electoral votes. She did a little bit better than Romney. Considering what the polling was trying to say before the election, Trump whooped Hillary's ass.

Just in, Hillary has called Trump on the phone and conceded the election, reportedly.
Whew, that's decent at least.

Where is Bernie Sanders (the CC'er) at? Maybe he's having a stroke and he's laying on his bathroom floor drooling at the mouth in shock.

This is unprecedented for a candidate to concede but refuse to appear on stage.

She must be in the middle of a complete mental break right now and needs to be worked on before she can be put in front of cameras.

I don't ever remember a Presidential candidate not conceding on stage. They always concede and say something to the effect "we tried our best, now it's time to come together and support our new President" and such.

Yeah, Hillary is in shock. That's what she gets for surrounding herself with an echo chamber instead of reading the writing on the wall.

are you two going to make out? get over with it already.

DON'T WATCH US!!! I'M SHY!

[patches70]

Haha, don't be jealous. There is plenty of saxi to go around.

[saxitoxin]

great victory speech but Baron Trump looked completely bored ha

[saxitoxin]

it ain't over yet

i get you guys are happy clinton lost, but are you happy Trump won?

Unlike most people, I'm not afraid. Trump is just a guy. Hillary was truly fearful though, we dodged a bullet with her losing the election. I don't like Obama as a President but I have to admit that he was a hell of a lot better than McCain would have been, we dodged a bullet when McCain lost as well, he's as crazy as Hillary.

Trump, there is nothing to fear from him. There won't be a wall, there won't be a nuclear war, the world isn't going to end, things will go on how they've always gone on for the most part. The only thing I hope for Trump is he brings US foreign policy back to a more sane and peaceful way. I don't know if he can do it, but but at least with him I have that slight hope. A hope that would be impossible with Hillary in office.

You know who else who was a world leader and was vulgar as f*ck? Churchill. Hell, Churchill said things that were great, hilarious and most certainly non-PC. My favorite story about Churchill was he was at a party, drinking. A woman got all huffy and said to him-"Sir, if my husband drank as much as you do I'd put poison in his drink!"
Quick as a whip Churchill replied-"Madam, if you were my wife I'd drink it!"

Bwahahahaha! Churchill wasn't so bad and if Trump is even half the leader Churchill was then we'll be all right.

Who is the Pat in the silver tie? I can't tell if that's a girly dude straight from the 80s or a butch woman.

agreed with patches - I don't like Trump, however, I would have been mortified if Clinton won; she is a disgusting witch who should be in prison for war crimes

Haha, that's Trump's son! He's just a 10 year old kid who probably hates wearing a suit.

The Democratic Party Establishment Is Finished

The Democrats will now control next to nothing above the municipal level. Donald Trump will be president.

Theoretically smart people in the Democratic Party should have known that. And yet they worked giddily to clear the field for her. Every power-hungry young Democrat fresh out of law school, every rising lawmaker, every old friend of the Clintons wanted a piece of the action. This was their ride up the power chain. The whole edifice was hollow, built atop the same unearned sense of inevitability that surrounded Clinton in 2008, and it collapsed, just as it collapsed in 2008, only a little later in the calendar. The voters of the party got taken for a ride by the people who controlled it, the ones who promised they had everything figured out and sneeringly dismissed anyone who suggested otherwise. They promised that Hillary Clinton had a lock on the Electoral College. These people didn’t know what they were talking about, and too many of us in the media thought they did.

Americans are fucked up.

Well, as one pro-trump poster just said "trump manages to at least bring some sanity" you see they live in another reality.

The worrisome part is that they are majority.

For one, this is the begin of the official declining of US as hegemonic power in the world. Also shows how a group of hillbillies can put in danger the whole world economy.

In one scenario, trump will spend his term just building a cult around his personality, in a sort of Hugo Chaves style...probably implementing measures that harm only US economy. In another scenario, the unpredictable character will affect all of us.

In any case, a sad day for humanity.

Pretty much. It kind of reminds me of the fall of the roman empire, or the post 1929 crisis rise of the national socialism in germany.
Bye bye USA, your reign didn t last a full century. Now come and praise China!

Wait - didn't France get flattened into a pancake post 1929 by Germany?

Anyway, don't worry - without NATO or Britain, and with no bodies of water disconnecting you from the east, President-for-Life Hollande will be licking Russia's ballsack long before China ever unzips in Paris.

I said "if" he manages to bring sanity to US foreign policy.

So, lemme get this straight, you are saying that imposing a US no fly zone over Syria is sane? For what purpose? To shoot down ISIS air power? No, it couldn't be that because ISIS has no fucking air power at all. The no fly zone would be to shoot down Russian and Syrian air power.
Syria who has not threatened or attacked any US troops, people or facilities. Russia who is nuclear armed and is unbeatable due to M.A.D. I thought this was understood. M.A.D only works when both parties understand that it is a no win scenario.

You are saying (though you aren't aware of it I think) that shooting down Russian jets over Syria is the sane thing to do. You are fucking nuts. Hillary is fucking nuts. That's the most dangerous thing I can think of for the US to be doing, and that's something Hillary said she'd do. She is insane.
Talk about alternate reality! You and Hillary think we are apparently living in a world that doesn't have M.A.D.

Hahaha!

Apparently Russia is the bogey man under the bed that keeps the children fearing for their lives at night. For God's sake Europe, grow a back bone. Russia isn't going to take you over. China isn't coming to eat your babies in the crib like some nefarious dingo. Jesus Christ you people are so afraid of whatever the politicians tell you to be afraid of. At the same time those same politicians go plotting coups and foreign mischief all over the place and you wonder why psychos are going around running people down in the streets with a truck.
Stand on your own two feet and stop taking it up the ass from the US and doing what the f*ck ever crazy plan people like Hillary Clinton come up with to destabilize the next country. It might turn out that the US' "decline in hegemonic power" might be a gift.
Empires fall when they overextend and the US is nothing special in this regard. It's the natural consequence, the hubris of empires and that ain't gonna change.

This is a sad day for humanity... after the UK voting for the brexit, USA has chosen Trump. If in 2017 france votes Le Pen, it will be official... idiots are the majority. Uneducated fools who just want a change and are ok to try their own shit just to change.

Yes it is. The global elites could not mold the masses into their clearly superior will. The doomsday clock of the progressive socialists agenda has been halted, at least for the time being, in the United States. OH THE HORROR.

Go f*ck yourself america. I am deeply disapointed by you.

You mean the whole nation? Well we certainly don't want to f*ck with foreigners. You heard betiko ... LET'S HAVE AN ORGY AMERICA!

I remember when people said- "If Obama gets elected that's the end of the US".
I remember when people said- "If Bush gets elected that's the end of the US".
I remember when people said- "If Reagan gets elected that's the end of the US".
So on and so on.

I remember it being said-"This is the most important election ever" every single US Presidential election.
So on and so on.

Hey, guess what morons, it was all bullshit! Believe me, we dodged a bullet when Obama beat McCain but the American people in all her wisdom made sure McCain didn't win. You'll come to understand that we dodged yet another bullet in Hillary. Trust in the American voter's wisdom, individually we're all pretty much dumb asses, but we got this one right because Hillary is far beyond just a "flawed candidate" and the American voter recognized that and took the actual flawed candidate as opposed to the unhinged candidate that is Hillary. It was the only two choices we had. I know, it's painful to accept, it might take a while since you've been so infected by election angst it's hard to think straight, but you'll get there.

If you need to, take out your copy of the HGTTG and read those great big letters on the back that say-
"DON'T PANIC"

Wise words indeed. And don't forget to bring a towel! It's gonna be all right.

I remember when people said- "If Obama gets elected that's the end of the US".

It may take decades to recover from the Affordable Care Act.

I remember when people said- "If Bush gets elected that's the end of the US".

We may never recover completely from the Patriot Act.

I remember when people said- "If Reagan gets elected that's the end of the US".

I hate to admit it, but a lot of bad things happened in politics as a result of his election and the country still has bad blood in politics to this day.

It's really hard to say when the straw is going to break the camel's back. It's also hard to say when the US no longer was "bound" by the Constitution. But the more recent administrations made it more brazen. The impeachable crimes of past officials are now double downed by current officials with immunity in every shape and form. Laws are written to apply to everyone but the writers and enforcers of the law.

Had Hillary been elected, the nation would have turned into a Banana Republic. Would that be the "end of the US?" Hell no. It would still have taken two decades for the US to turn into Venezuela.

NATO is about to be a dilapidated relic that will exist on paper only. The world's two great powers will finally be politically aligned - instead of warring through proxy states, the U.S. and Russia can cooperatively divide the world between them; two sides of a vice crunching a splintering and collapsing Europe for whatever treasures it can still cough up.

Hopefully Petro Poroshenko's vacation house in Germany is a nice one because his days in Kiev are numbered.

Only bad thing that happened last night was McCain getting re-elected but age will eventually take care of that problem.
