[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

It's beyond irrational to think certain groups of people are going to be attacked as a result of this.

David Axelrod is right, and I was talking with a friend about this earlier.

We're talking race, class, elitism, etc.  All of these things are a part of the equation.

But this isn't unique to us.  This is happening all over Europe.  This is a backlash against globalization.  This is a backlash against technology replacing workers. 

I'm not sure how you put the lid back on that pot.  What happens in four years when there's no wall, there's still Obamacare, and those manufacturing jobs haven't come back?  Who will you turn to then?

beats war with russia.

congrats on nevada btw

Obamacare is mumped. So is climate and pc naziism. That's not a bad thing.

Stupid dickhead Debbie and the shitbird DNC got what they deserved. Not happy Rudy Giuliani will be the chef lawmaker in this country and Newt will be the Secretary of State, lol, but hopefully the democrats will get their crap together.

I'm not convinced Bernie would have won.  I'm not sure how the socialist stuff would have played front and center in a general election.

But, Donald Trump is going to be President, so who the hell knows.

Of course he would have won, he beat her ass in all of these traditional blue areas that she lost. The D's didn't need to pick anything up, just hold serve. The democrats got their Washington elite insider that they wanted and she got murked by an insurgent.

My wife is not taking this well.  Not well at all.

Nor is mine. Uppity ass college educated white women, amirite?

I tried to tell her that we're going to actually come out of this in a better place, financially.  Yeah, the socially liberal part of us is going to take a hit, but I spent eight years hating the world under W., so that's not unique. We're not going to spend 30+ years in some liberal utopia.

I'm kind of flabbergasted that a stay-at-home mom in Overland Park thinks this is the end of the world for us.

Neither of those things will happen MIR, it's all good! 

I sure hope not, its the only thing about his presidency that scares me. Giuliani is actually all of those things people say that trump is.

I care about climate change.  That is something that stings really badly tonight for me, personally.

As if for years Rs and Ds alike haven't promised to turn things around for so many people. 

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Obamacare isn't mumped - Obamacare has mumped us. Now Trump and the GOP get to try to fix it. Good luck with that. What a mess.

[Emo EMAW]

Panjs wife is proof why a woman can't be president.  (I keed I keed)

[MakeItRain]

This result is genuinely making me sad.

However, because of the color of my skin, gender, education level, and career choice, I stand to gain from this financially.  Not worth it  tho.

I am feeling a little low right now.  I'll rally, but this is disheartening for me personally.

This is how I felt in May.

black people will prosper like never before. in 2020, perhaps you will be rooting for trump.

Black people aren't a monolith. I'm sure some black people will prosper, I have plenty of money now though so I don't need trump. Hopefully Trump and his people can now meet some black people that have money who aren't celebrities so he can stop thinking we all live in the hood.

Agreed. At this point climate change is a global initiative, a trump administration won't be able to do 1/4 the damage to the climate that China does.

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

guys, this is a gonna be a landslide for trump.

My comment was agnostic of party and candidate.  Globalization and technology have their own momentum independent of whatever it is we choose to do at this point.

Those jobs aren't coming back if you enact tariffs and re-structure trade deals.  The problem is automation.  The problem is FTE elimination targets.

Dax, where u at buddy?

You know Denmark has had a very strong resurgence in manufacturing output the last 10 years?

Yeah, but we need to be a part of that coalition of the Paris Agreement.

I'm hoping that this is one thing he ignores, but I doubt it.

[MakeItRain]

Someone start a thread about down ballot crap.

[Tobias]

Denmark sucks trust me.

p good workplace humor right there

[TheHamburglar]

I just turned in the TV and put it on msNBC.  The first thing I hear is Brian Williams talking about Biden saying LaGuardia is a 3rd world airport.  What the hell is he talking about?

[gatoveintisiete]

Let's get on with the pressers
