Capella's 24-hour, VERY bigly OH MY GOD HOW DID WE GET HERE thread (3 Viewers)

Missed opportunity 
Well I have to work with them and have a good relationship with most of them.  Not sure if it would be the same if the shoe was on the other foot but I don't care.  I posted one single thing on Facebook today and pissed off one of my coworkers .  Confusing to me but not shocked.  It's America and you can't even say who you're voting for anymore . 

 
That one hot blonde Trump surrogate who has been alone and supporting him on CNN in recent months (and doing a really admirable job of it) just basically got set for life. Donald owes her a mint. 

 
Is Tim dead? 
I know you weren't trying to rub this in, but people have actually already literally committed suicide over this.  Real people. Overreaction or not, at least one person who voted against Trump has already lost someone they care about.  I get gloating because your guy won, but please try to be respectful with comments about death, suicide, etc. for a little while.  This election is going to be a really tough pill to swallow for a lot of people, and I get that you're happy about it, but there are some comments that aren't worth making.

You have to excuse flap. He's a bit on the obtuse side.

I'm not calling him out specifically and I don't want this to devolve into name calling.  I was just telling people who might not have known and asking them to be cool about something i would normally be fine with joking about.

 
So I guess this election is only going to emboldened the alt-right eh? i mean, Trump ran an overtly racist campaign - and won. Why should the Republicans care about minorities at all?

He also is openly hostile/abusive to women. He won. Why should Republicans care about women at all?

For those of us who did not like the direction of the Republican party, this election is only going to make it worse.

Well put.  Henry Ford has already said that one of his clients committed suicide because of the result.  

 
Obamas legacy is now destroyed. Obamacare will thankfully be overturned.   
Sad, by true. 

I hope you understand that the healthcare problem is not ACA, it's not going far enough to rein in rising healthcare costs. And, repealing ACA without also addressing Big pharma, medical, and insurance industries is still going to leave us overpaying for healthcare. 

 
Solid work, Votecastr...

The funniest part this morning is hearing about the "GOP MACHINE!!!"  Trump fought the GOP machine and the DNC machine.  Now the RNC wants to jump on the Trump train.  For all those people who dumped on Trump I hope he makes them carry piss buckets for 4 years.  What a loose cannon.  WOW!

 
How ####ed is Hillary?  She not only lost in the most unprecedented election ever, the president elect has made it one of his major campaign slogans to put her in jail. 

 
Over/under on % stock market free fall tomorrow?
5% drop by 4PM

This is our Brexit. 

So I fell asleep at 12:15 AM EST After Florida an Ohio were called......I think we all knew.

A stunning election. A clear message about the state of our country. 

And the sun rose in the east today........be excellent to each other everyone.

Oof. Landslide

 
So, now what? More finger pointing and name calling? Ugh. This is just going to get uglier. 
You think? 

There's nothing Democrats can do. Republicans hold the WH, Senate, and House. They have the keys to the kingdom.

As for the rank and file, I hope you aren't right. For better or (more likely) worse, Trump is the President-elect now. Lets hope most of his election talk was just talk. Maybe he will surprise us and be a really good President.

 
This is a statement against the slanted biased media and the elitist government we have become. I am getting a twisted pleasure watching these bleeding heart liberals in total denial on NBC and CNN this morning. Utter disbelief and shock and awe. It's quite  entertaining actually. 

That is exactly I how interpret this result.

Democracy has spoken and it is alive and well. View it that way......and you can actually feel ok.

I am not that upset with it (no I did not vote for Trump). I hope he surrounds himself with bright, intelligent people. He is our President Elect. Acceptance is the first step. Denial will only make you more miserable. This is what truly makes America great. The freedom to choose. And the country chose Donald Trump.

It's going to be ok everyone. Relax. Go to work today, kiss your kids and wife.....life goes on. The holidays are coming. Get merry.

Don't worry.....be happy.

I voted.  I'm on pins and needle about who is going to be regent at Wayne State university.  

What pisses me off is we have a jail proposal on the ballot.  It was voted down once already.  And yet they get to keep asking for it.  Eventually it is going to pass.  It can fail multiple times but only needs to pass once.  No wonder government continues to grown.  #### the new jail.  I don't really give a #### how bad the jail is.  If the workers don't like it, go work in a factory or something.  The whining is out of control.
Have a similar situation out here.  They want to expand Munich airport and will displace one of the baseball clubs in doing so.  The club has garnered enough support to fight it off a handful of times but the airport just keeps getting it back on the ballot.

But you already know with whom he is going to surround himself - Christie, Gingrich, Pence, Palin, and Giuliani.

No problem with those two. Palin? Should not sniff even the dog #### on the White House lawn. Keep that ding bat away from DC. Christie? GO get another double Quarter Pounder with cheese.

Normally if you wanted to build a wall, you'd just go over to the Home Depot parking lot and hire a bunch of Mexicans. I guess that's a no go. 

 
Trump is now looking over wood samples with Melania, as he heard he gets to pick his own cabinet. 

 
I want to thank Trump for helping us get through this rough next couple of year by supplying us with nood pics of his wife.  Happy fapping

This is a remarkable typo

Good posting.

 
Well put.  Henry Ford has already said that one of his clients committed suicide because of the result.  
Wow - I missed that.  I've never understood people getting the invested.  It's important but people shouldn't let it impact their lives.

I work in pharma.  Voted for Clinton. At least election outcome was good for my career.  Healthcare is going to continue to be ridiculously expensive here.

 
I keep thinking about the autopsy that the GOP ran after Romney....Trump ignored all of it and destroyed the electoral field 

 
I'm heading in to work.  On the way home I will get an oil change on my car.  Then, raking some leaves.  Had Hilary won my agenda for today would be just the same. 

 
Kind of amazing that Hillary's camp is saying that she didn't give a concession speech last night because she wanted to give a more thoughtful speech. Which means she either didn't have a concession speech prepared at all or had a really nasty one. Either case shows extreme hubris. I know that you have to have some ego to believe that you can handle that office, but the egos of both Clinton and Trump are unreal.

I don't think anyone in Clinton's camp thought she could lose.  I didn't think she could lose either.  I'm not surprised if it's true she didn't spend time working on a concession speech.

Well...one would hope that the establishment takes a pause, steps back and tries to figure out what this means and how to adjust going forward, but I suspect you're right...we'll have a double down on deflection, excuse making and name calling.

Not happening.  Once these things start sliding they don't stop.  Was like this in 2004 with Bush, and earlier this year with Brexit.

Trump's going to win, unless she flips a state like Arizona or Iowa.

 
I didn't watch any tv yesterday and stayed away from the Internet until about midnight for the most part. I can't seem to stop indulging in both today.

I understand ,  Fred.  Did not mean it at all like that
