I appreciate that, but I'm sure a nice serving of Hemlock in a historic, commemorative mug, er, uh, make that a wine glass, will sell better.NapLajoieonSteroids wrote:I have offered to set up support groups for the delicate in these confusing Trumpian times.Simple Minded wrote:Oh, my RPLP friends are going to be having coronaries today....
Maybe Alexis could recommend an appropriate cheese to go along with the Hemlock.
I'd suggest Cheeze Whiz and Malt Duck, but they're too snobby for that.
some may voluntarily sign up for the Trump Train part doo....

Sacking of Rome?
According to The Guardian - UK - election of Trump is comparable to the sacking of Rome.
Just imagine what they would say, if the did.
Fortunately, these journalists do not wander in hyperbole.The unthinkable is only unthinkable until it happens. Then, like the sacking of Rome, it can seem historically inevitable. So it is with the global political earthquake that is the election of Donald Trump as the next president of the United States.
Just imagine what they would say, if the did.

Regarding support groups for the downtrodden, I'd suggest transport to the ultimate safe space:

I deny it. The MSM is a tool of the globalist olgarchy, Dems and GOPe. The GOPe is so lame it could not even get a horse into this race.Mr. Perfect wrote:Is there anyone who can now deny that the MSM and the Democrat Party are one and the same.
Someone deny it, I dare you.

Congratulations to the supporters of the POTUS election winner and condolences to the supporters of the loser.

Re: The eternal US elections - 2016 edition
It will be interesting to see how much support Trump gets from the GOP. Prior to noon yesterday, he was viewed as the nutcase who wore a suicide vest to their homecoming prom, and then proceeded to neuter all the candidates for Homecoming King.Nonc Hilaire wrote:I deny it.

Preliminary estimates of voter turnout are 55.6%.
Not too different from previous recent elections.

Re: The eternal US elections - 2016 edition
Results as of now with 95.2% of votes accounted for:
Trump 290 electoral votes. Clinton: 228 electoral votes.
Trump: 59,692,974 popular votes (47.5%). Clinton: 59,923,027 popular votes (47.7%).
Trump ultimately obtains the electoral college majority to win the election, but narrowly loses the popular vote by 230,053, and, as such, joins 4 other presidents in our history who did the same: John Quincy Adams 1824, Rutherford B. Hayes 1876, Benjamin Harrison 1888, and George W. Bush in 2000.
Trump is the president elect, and I wish him the best and for his success for the sake of my country. However, this was an ugly, divisive election between parties, within parties, and within American society. Much healing and relationship building will need to be accomplished for a successful presidency to be possible.
Trump's victory speech was somewhat encouraging in that regard. We shall see. Crowing and gloating about victory is the last thing the victors and their supporters need to be doing now, as well as blaming and seeking scapegoats by the losers. Shocks will wear off, life will go on, and all we can do is the best we can as responsible citizens. I remain very pessimistic about our future, however. The dysfunction goes way beyond any individual party or presidential administration.

The count puts a .002 margin between them. How much would you bet that we couldn't rout that out by the usual patterns of voter fraud?YMix wrote:Ha!but narrowly loses the popular vote by 230,053

Anyway, that wasn't the point for me, but rather the fact that the popular vote is split almost equally between the candidates. No landslide for Trump.
