Oh, my RPLP friends are going to be having coronaries today....

I have offered to set up support groups for the delicates in these confusing Trumpian times.

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.

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....

According to The Guardian - UK - election of Trump is comparable to the sacking of Rome.

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.

Fortunately, these journalists do not wander in hyperbole.

Just imagine what they would say, if the did.

SM, French cuisine do not deal in poisonous herbs.

Do you think this is McDonald's, or what?

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

Democrats, Trump, and the Ongoing, Dangerous Refusal to Learn the Lesson of Brexit - Glen Greenwald

[Mr. Perfect]

Lol some of us did learn lessons, some of did not. The election results reflected that accordingly.

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.

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.

That's only going to work out for the travelers if everyone looks and thinks like they do wherever they arrive.

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

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.

Will they have long memories?

Priceless.

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

We enjoyed it. Another week or so, and we can start speculating about 2018....

I can recommend fugu sashimi | 河豚 [blowfish; pufferfish] prepared by an amateur chef.

Suggest the ovaries and liver.

Preliminary estimates of voter turnout are 55.6%.

Not too different from previous recent elections.

[kmich]

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.

Ha!

Ha!

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?

Taking into account voter fraud and disenfranchisement perpetrated by both sides?

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.
