    - I'm scared of America with 4 years of Trump. - Krusty Nov 4, 07:10 35
      - 4 years of Trump means ACA repealed with no alternative, tense relations with China with trade bullying tactics... -- (edited) - Inigo Nov 4, 07:38
      - This. I'm liberal but accepted Bush and would've been ok with Romney and even McCain, but Trump legitimately scares me. -- nm - volnelk Nov 4, 07:13
      - [deleted] 2
        
        He's just kidding but I'm dead serious. We can't go back after where we've come from. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 07:14 1

        What's so scary about America under a Clinton presidency? -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 07:13 22
        
        4 years of Republican investigations to gridlock us even more -- nm - Bacon Nov 4, 07:34 11
        
        And that is Clinton's fault how? Victim blaming solves nothing. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 07:44 10
        
        *hands you a Jump to Conclusions mat* -- nm - Strongbad Nov 4, 07:47
        
        It's amazing that the republican closing argument is essentially we are going to gridlock government by endlessly investigating her if you elect her, - pmb Nov 4, 07:47 4
        
        I love how Bacon is now assigned the role of giving the Republican Closing Argument. - Strongbad Nov 4, 07:52 2
        
        It has nothing to do with Bacon. Have you not been watching the news? -- nm - pmb Nov 4, 08:04
        
        I don't think that's anywhere in pmb's post. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 07:53
        
        I wish the Rand Paul strategy from 2014 gained more strength - Strongbad Nov 4, 07:49
        
        Where in my post did I say it was her fault? Read it again, nope. I didn't say that. -- nm - Bacon Nov 4, 07:47 1
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 08:01

        but she's asking for it by dressing so slutty! -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 07:45
        
        You can fear America even if Hillary wins without fearing her performance. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 07:24 3
        
        So, fears for America despite her election, but because of his? -- nm* - znufrii Nov 4, 07:35
        
        Well said. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 4, 07:26 1
        
        Agreed. That's my bigger concern. The election isn't the end of things by a long stretch. - volnelk Nov 4, 07:29
        
        That Trump is going to get 40-50% of the popular vote? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 4, 07:20 1
        
        Oh, right. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 07:24
        
        The status quo. Plus the drone program increases. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 07:15 3
        
        The drone program angers me, but I'm not sure any other President would be different. - Inigo Nov 4, 07:20
        
        Benghazis go extinct -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 07:18
        
        I'll give you the drone program but the status quo means a continually growing economy. Things are so much better than in 2008, economically speaking. - Krusty Nov 4, 07:17
        
        We should all move to Aruba! -- nm - Bacon Nov 4, 07:12
      - This. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 07:11
      - I nominate David Duke for Supreme Court Justice. -- nm - Donald Trump Nov 4, 07:11 1
        
        More like Corey Lewandowski. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 4, 07:28
So yeah, FBI agents were leaking shit to Rudy. -- (link) - Reagen Nov 4, 06:57 1
- "It's Hillary's fault!" The guy's mentally unwell. He just interjects that into the conversation out of context. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 07:45
My basic assumption at this point is that everything Samsung-made is an IED -- (link) - ML Nov 4, 06:38 4
- When they said it was made in Korea, little did you know they meant NORTH Korea. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 07:46
- Ahh, that explains why the TSA wouldn't let me carry on my washing machine last week... -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 06:46
- I can only take yours and David's recommendations of Samsung TVs as a personal threat and you'll be hearing from my lawyer. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 06:43 1
  - Lock them up! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 4, 07:04
betting markets are a trailing indicator, FWIW - Reagen Nov 4, 06:35 5
- The stock market has been down for 6 days in a row. I value that indicator. - Bacon Nov 4, 07:35 1
  - yet another trailing indicator, and a particularly risk averse one. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 07:38
- Especially at the limits you can bet on a presidential outcome. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 4, 07:34
- They're 1 data point and should be used with a grain of salt. The books don't care about being predictive, they just want equal shares of $. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 4, 07:25

      - Stern? But isn't she in Canada? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 4, 06:52 3
        
        The highest level of dissatisfaction possible! -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 06:53 2
        
        Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the equivalent of a stapler-throwing tantrum? -- nm - Baron More Dough Nov 4, 06:55 1
        
        In Canada, just the staples -- nm - Epiphany Nov 4, 07:05
"If Congress Was Your Co-Worker" starring Chris Pine & Alan Tudyk -- (link) - ML Nov 4, 06:26 [youtube] 15
- I should have realized this from the cast, but it's Joss' thing. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 06:55
- He's a gifted comedian. Was he decent in This Means War? I never saw it. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 06:37 8
  - Probably the most underwhelming execution of a great concept since at least Reign of Fire -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 07:11
  - He's hilarious in 'Into the Woods'. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 07:07 2
    - Oh, duh. I saw that. He did well with a really strange role. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 07:24 1
      - Odd-I've known this musical note for note since the late 80's. It never occurred to me that the role of the Prince was strange since - Diva Nov 4, 08:06

  - no, it was full of meh. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 06:39
- "so tough titties" this is great and Pine is indeed awesome -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 06:30 4
  - I want Pine cast as a comedic arch-villain, and I want it now. -- nm - ML Nov 4, 06:30 3
    - Undercover Brother 2 -- nm - Strongbad Nov 4, 07:09
