- I'm praying he's as moderate as he seemed before he started to campaign - Epiphany Nov 9, 06:44 15
  - [deleted]
  - I said this on FB and I'll say it here. The staggering disappointment he's setting up for his supporters will be glorious. - Mel Profit Nov 9, 06:46 13
    - His base will revolt on him in ways we have never seen before -- nm - eag Nov 9, 06:55 3

        Motivated reasoning seems to be a big driver for Trump and his supppporters. - TWuG Nov 9, 06:58
    - I had the same exact thought - Brian Nov 9, 06:52
    - even if he is able to do the things he says, some of them won't have the effect they think it will -- nm - crash davis Nov 9, 06:48 7

        Ryan (or someone worse) holds the keys on that and doesn't want to. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 06:58
      - there's that too. In no way can I see him being able to achieve what he's talked about. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 9, 06:52
      - If I had to name a "fear", mine would be that him + R senate/house nuke a whole lot of things (SC, healthcare, etc. etc.) without clear replacements -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 06:49 1

- More than one, I'm sure. Just exactly who, I could not tell you -- nm - crash davis Nov 9, 06:42
In hindsight, the person who saw this election most clearly was Michael freaking Moore, and he called it back in *July* (link) -- (edited) - ML Nov 9, 06:37 1
- that is quite prescient -- nm - crash davis Nov 9, 06:39
I'd like to apologize in advance to Diva... - Mel Profit Nov 9, 06:35 4
- Oh, I know they're coming. *puts on headphones; promises not to sing out loud to the music* - Diva Nov 9, 06:42 3
  - If we had you two over for dinner, I would hope you would promise *TO* sing out loud. -- nm* - landbeck Nov 9, 06:45 2
    - Yeah really. What's the point of having Diva over if you don't get a free mini-concert? -- nm - Qale Nov 9, 08:22
    - :) -- nm - Diva Nov 9, 06:45

For Mel. Temple of the Dog highlights. - Inigo Nov 9, 06:29 9

- I heard on local radio that War Pigs was excellent -- nm* - decline Nov 9, 06:30 6
  - Yeah, that was great. Going from Ozzy's screeching voice to the smoothness of CC was a welcome change. - Inigo Nov 9, 06:34 5
    - I'm happy CC's voice is holding up. Vedder's is not. I noticed a difference during the Fenway shows finally. - Mel Profit Nov 9, 06:37 4
      - That's odd. Of the two, you'd figure CC's voice would give out faster given the notes he hits. - Inigo Nov 9, 06:39 3
        
        I have a respect for singing I never had before. It definitely takes care to preserve the ability. - Mel Profit Nov 9, 06:41 2

From a completely selfish 'does this affect my job' stand point, the reality is, corporately this is probably good for this company. - Andie Nov 9, 06:22 13
- For me, it does not change the fact that, come January, I'll have a shitload of free time in my hands.. - Marlowe Nov 9, 06:28 4

Michelle's phone has *not* stopped ringing. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 06:21
I posted this in '08 to Republicans, I posted it in 2010 to Democrats and maybe once or twice thereafter. Al Swearengen, on misfortune. -- (link) - ML Nov 9, 06:12 [youtube]

Michael Stipe blames who for the Trump victory? - Spawndroid Nov 9, 05:59
From a friend on facebook - znufrii Nov 9, 05:49 14

- [deleted] 9
  - I don't see it as being vengeful as much as wanting to hold people accountable for the direction they have chosen for the country. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 06:24 8
    - [deleted] 7
      - Like they worked together with Obama for the last eight years? F*ck that. - znufrii Nov 9, 06:39 3
        
        but if both sides just block each other for eternity out of spite, how does that help the citizenry? -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 06:42 1
        
        Blocking anything is no longer on the table, so we're stuck with what they chose. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 9, 06:45

      - I've been struggling with this. That they get to be obstructive and now that they won WE have to strive to work together. - volnelk Nov 9, 06:38 2
        
        F*ck it. Hang them out to dry, let them own their own failures. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 9, 06:41 1
        
        But we can't block them the way they did us. They've got the keys. It's going to be about shining the light on results. -- nm - volnelk Nov 9, 06:43

Will Bernie try again in 2020? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 9, 05:31 10
