There's a chance she wins the popular vote by 2m or more.

 

i can't really look myself in the mirror. i feel so shameful for trusting in people that i knew deep down the whole time were corrupt and who i morally opposed. i blame myself for not doing more and for not saying more and biting my tongue to remain civil. it won't happen again.

 

Leonard Cohen passed away.

 

Same. And I wasn't all that "civil" before.

 

well fuck. So nothing gets better from here.

 

2016 blows.

 

I know and I've said that before, but it would feel good for a minute seeing him in handcuffs and embarrassed for the first time in his life

 

Hmm

 

Jesus fuck 2016 couldn't you have at least given us like a week =(

 

The biggest fear I had of Trump was what was reported: He only listens to whoever told him something last. All it takes is someone to tell him something and his fucking child brain just goes "ok that one" and follows it.

 

I don't think so. Unless you think Trump won't support what Pence wants.

 

If Donald Trump Pardons Me, I Would Be Honored To Serve As Secretary Of Agriculture

 

Wait, what????
Oh man just as I'm starting to shake the shock of the election. This is crazy especially considering some of the comments he's made about death lately. RIP Leonard.

 

nervously laughing to avoid awkward public situations became an unfortunate habit. like kylie said, 2016's the year of realizing things, i guess.

 

The nation's current pessimism is draining. Not knocking it, I get it, just draining.

 

Okay, I'll do it. I volunteer to go undercover in his cabinet and just slip him notes that say "no, don't do that" in every meeting. I'll even get him to say "car RamRod" during the state of the union.

 

Really I don't think that trump actually matters as much except when it comes to aggression, I think he is more if a temperament problem that could order bombs dropped if somebody questions him publicly. But I agree he's a puppet for the right. Pence and Congress will have their way with him and he'll think he is running the show. So a pence presidency is probably worse because it wouldn't look so bad, but underneath the orange blob the same guy is pulling the strings on most policy

 

Fuck him.

 

Wait how does this make that photo better? That explanation makes no sense. Defaced confederate flag? This is v. confusing. The time being before the election makes sense, I guess, but the mask and flag and what?

Anyone see anything else about that?

 

But like... Russia ties... The court dates.... Nobody is going to do anything at all? Just like it never happened? After we had to hear about emails for a fucking year? It just doesn't add up. how?

 

I disagree, but for the same reasons. We get all of Pence with Trump, plus the bad temperment, plus Russia, plus Trump's personal financial interests.

 

Just saw that. He went with the false balance. Such bullshit.

 

This is the type of story that and issue that can at least speak to the educated side of the Trumpers. The Obama defectors as well. Assuming of course what we think happens does play out.
