1 day doesn't matter. It'll recover and soar like an AMERICAN bald eagle.

We get it, you're trolling.

 

[lastflowers]

Obviously tonight was awful, but it's important to remember that even during bad times, good things can happen.

Awesome. Voted for her

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I hope that you guys spend as much time lecturing your friends and family about the racist things they say as you do here for some random guy after an emotional election night.

Shit, we know that's not true from the numerous threads we've had on "how do you deal with racist friends/family."

"Not worth the hassle"
"Love them too much"
"Just a different opinion"
"i'm too mature to care"

etc.

[iamblades]

See this is the biggest flaw of the Supreme Court. Judges wait for their party/ideology to win the White House. I wish there would be a Constitutional Amendment that gives Supreme Court Justices 15 or 20 year terms.

The biggest flaw of the Supreme Court is that the decisions are politically based at all, but I suppose it was inevitable given how loose the requirements for the judiciary are in the constitution.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Are my taxes going to go up or down?

Well Trump said in his debate that he is smart for not paying taxes so maybe you can be smart too?

 

[Luigi87]

Do these people even have high school diplomas?

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Well I mean it's GAF....

Yeah, because it's only GAF saying this shit, and not every "expert" in the field whose job is to try and figure this shit out.

 

[TCRS]

First brexit and now this. I keep waking up to unbelievable News.

We need to kill and bury Lord KEK

 

[DragonSworne]

I blame Jimmy Fallon

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

If the general election is really Trump vs Kanye then this country that I love is truly lost forever.

Its already Trump vs Hillary

 

[RiccochetJ]

Well, this guy better close all the tax loopholes he's been using to not pay taxes all these years like he said he would. That was pretty much the only thing I agreed with him on.

 

[ShaunBRS]

Nate Silver making the common crow extinct.

 

[nick nacc]

Cenk said it all along....

"Non-College-Educated White Males LOVE Donald Trump"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfjbFnmnG3o

pretty sure he also won college educated whites as well.

 

[Falchion]

I'm in it to the end, hope that comes soon because it's late.

 

[Absinthe]

Held in check...mostly by people who all that gone

True. Pubs will have the house, senate, president and Supreme Court?

 

[Talesofedna]

:lol
America wasn't ready for such a forward thinking president.

Yup, it isn't read for Trump but he'll be great for it.

 

[Ominym]

Dude this will have effects that go beyond 4 years. We're talking decades upon decades.

So much shit is about to be fucked that people aren't aware of

Social Welfare? Gone
Affirmative Action? Gone
Voter's Rights Act? Gone
Net Neutrality? Gone
Abortion Rights? Gone
Expanded War on Drugs
Marriage Equality? Gone
Minimum wage? In some states gone
Mass Deportation
Racial Profiling
Expanded corporate influence over the government
Even more tax breaks for the 1%

It goes on and on.

But emails tho.....

This country, I swear. I'll never understand it.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

And just like that my salary was slashed. In one day the Mexican Peso went from $18.3 to $20.4 pesos per USD. And I don't even want to imagine what would happen if Trump goes through with dissolving NAFTA or taxing the fuck out of us to pay for his godforsaken wall.

This is a nightmare. And if he wants less illegals crossing the border this isn't helping because he's hurting our economy already and he hasn't even been elected officially.

It is mi amigo it is

 

[Kai Dracon]

I'm really heart broken, seeing people ask how safe their same sex marriage is now that Trump is president.

We're pretty much imagining all the various lawsuits that southern states are salivating to draft and begin pushing up to the SCOTUS once a conservative is installed. All the angles of attack, various religious freedom strategies, all the Piety Theater that will be performed to put on a show of Taking Back America.

 

[Red]

We just elected a president whose closest experience to governing is sitting a big table yelling at celebrities on a shitty reality TV show.

 

[Rentahamster]

I think it's more likely Dems shift more right and try to reclaim centrists and some conservatives who don't like Trump. And probably Republicans, after this taste of unexpected success, will move even further right in response.

I'm not a political expert, but from what I sense from the American zeitgeist, that is the wrong wrong wrong lesson to learn here.

 

[Hermii]

I just wake up. Wtf. I'm in shock.

 

[maquiladora]

If there is a >5kt wind on Inauguration Day will Trump wear a red baseball cap while being sworn in as President?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Colin Moriarty is such a fucking tool

 

[adj_noun]

There's no tolerance and love for people that literally hate tolerance and love and want to take away your rights, deport you, call you racial slurs, murder you, profile you. YOU DON'T FUCKING HAVE TO TOLERATE THAT.

On the bright side, now that they are in power, we will no doubt be on the receiving end of boundless tolerance and love from Trump and his supporters.

/sssssssssssss

 

[TrumanBurbank]

I wonder how this will affect Tesla, SpaceX and Solar City.

 

[Hypron]

Yup, it isn't read for Trump but he'll be great for it.

I'm sorry but you are delusional.

 

[dlauv]

Isn't this what usually happens after 8 years of one party?

 

[hermitpurple]

You're starting to sound like a republican with that tinfoil hat on.

Things might not be great under trump, but the president is still held in check. It's not a dictatorship.

Problem is the other two branches of government meant to check the president also want those things.

 

[Wanderer5]

So anyone considering distancing themselves from their family members that voted for Trump? I can't stop this feeling that I need to do this.

Meh I not going to do that kind of thing, having not bother with them in regards to politics anyway.

 

[jmdajr]

Tom Brady is happy

 

[GCX]

It seems like the whole world is repeating the same mistakes we here in Finland went through a few years ago. The populist True Finns party got a big share of the votes by shouting the same kind of stuff Brexiters and Trump promise. it didn't take long for them to tank in polls though because they didn't really have any real plans to implement their policies when they were in power.

Too bad now the same cycle is happening in world superpowers instead of small harmless countries like Finland.

 

[Glass Shark]

Nate Silver making the common crow extinct.

Why would he be eating crow? He's been talking doom for Hillary for weeks.

 

[riotous]

I really hope all the fucking whiners that seriously fucked up in this thread, are going into activisim to keep this asshole in check.

Like seriously, you are the guys at fault, all the asshole on the american left that kept dismissing him as nothing, at every fucking stage of this election, like calling someone a racist will just make him disappear.

Nah the people who voted for him are at fault.

But I do agree there is a problem with the nasty holier than thou left.

Even if they are holier than their opponents; there is a level of discourse that just isn't effective.

Like anyone can agree that not harming animals is better than harming them; and in that way Vegans are more ethical than non-Vegans.. but when has a Vegan throwing blood on a fur coat ever convinced anyone not to eat meat? More likely to make that shit into a jeux and have a BBQ on the Vegan's lawn.

I'm liberal as hell but cringe every time I read the words "human piece of garbage"... which is said about anyone who even remotely says anything not fitting the world view of the person saying it. Many actions and words deserve to be criticized, but the endless vitriol needs to stop. It's not constructive even if it is on a side I completely agree with.

 

[Omzz]

I worry for my family in America who are Muslims

Fuck

 

[K.Jack]

Any chance a Trump presidency will lower the astronomical rent in places like San Francisco?

The rent just got 10 feet higher.

 

[mercenar1e]

Its already Trump vs Hillary

make it the back to back to back loser.

 

[Renekton]

White millennials voted for Trump? Unbelievable.

Probably resentment against the establishment for things like crushing student loans.

 

[Beartruck]

Racists just had their beliefs validated on the world stage. We are fucked.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Colin Moriarty is such a fucking tool

I fucking hate Colin, but Danny coming through as the real homie time and time again

 

[13ruce]

Do these people even have high school diplomas?

I doubt it.

 

[Toparaman]

All the forum regulars who mocked posters for thinking Trump had a chance....smh. I think it's fair to say the average GAF poster doesn't know shit about middle America.

I slightly disagree with people saying GWB is preferable to Trump. GWB was just more polite, thus giving the illusion of decency relative to Trump. Trump isn't a war-hawk and he isn't religious. I think he's going to be a better president than Bush.

 

[Log4Girlz]

We just elected a president whose closest experience to governing is sitting a big table yelling at celebrities on a shitty reality TV show.

That's what most people think the presidency is

 

[Psychoward]

The amount of hyperbole in here is ridiculous. Calm down. Reality is if you went into a coma and woke up 2 years from now, your life will likely be no different in terms of this election and the effects of it.

Like alarming levels of delusion.

Republicans are about to control all 3 branches of government, how can you say it won't be any different with a straight face?

Under Obama we got gay marriage and the ACA and that was with a divided government

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Why would he be eating crow? He's been talking doom for Hillary for weeks.

*Serving.

 

[Nafai1123]

thank god

Yes, kicking 20 million people off healthcare without ANY replacement planned is going to be AWESOME.

 

[Volimar]

I'm not going to give Trump supporters shit for enjoying the Trump win. HillaryGAF certainly would have reveled in a Trump loss. But it is kind of disappointing to see in the midst of my fear of what a Trump presidency will mean for disabled people like me and the uncertainty for the future of the groups he has disparaged in the past.

 

[SmackAttack]

Yup, it isn't read for Trump but he'll be great for it.

Are you ever going to explain how he'll be such a good leader or are you just going to repeat yourself?

 

[Kusagari]

Feingold is actually running worse than Hillary in WI.

What the fuck happened there?
