- Remind me what this is. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 9, 17:30
And just by the by, this California secession talk is as dumb as the oft-raised Texas secession talk. -- nm* - ty97 Nov 9, 17:09 2

  - CalXit! -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 17:16

  - Ditto. - Mel Profit Nov 9, 17:12
are there any women in or out of politics, that you think could have beaten Trump? -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 9, 16:46
How is ST holding up today. Been busy at work all day. -- nm - Jovian Nov 9, 16:46
In addition to the obvious, I am crushed that a good friend from college died suddenly this week. So how about some posts about what's making you happy? -- (edited) - ralph wiggum Nov 9, 16:38 33
- Nathan and I went to see Trolls this afternoon. I'm not sure which one of us had the better time. - kelly Nov 9, 17:33

      - *preemptively jealous* -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 17:22
  - The flipside of me losing my job is that I'll probably have a scary 2017. -- (edited) - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:49
- I had a great day today. I had a morning appointment with my shrink. Was sunny and nice. Saw election signs being taken down, awesome! - Bacon Nov 9, 16:47
- we've had some serious fall colors going on, even more than last year's which was impressive for here. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 16:46
- C has started asked to go by all the "castles" around us (we live in a very churchy neighbourhood) -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 16:44
- what makes me happy is seeing you around, wigs....nm - x Nov 9, 16:41 1
  - Love you too, baby. Really. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 9, 16:45
- My stepdaughter is coming home I guess that makes me happy - eag Nov 9, 16:41
oo, Bery - the shop related products is kind of odd/amusing; but I like the amazon search box! :) - -- nm - b. Nov 9, 16:23 5
- You would think that with all the whining going down today I'd see something besides oatmeal -- nm - zeit spiced geist Nov 9, 16:41 2
  - hee, I didn't notice what's showing inside posts - that's even more amusing. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 16:44 1
    - Heheh - it asked me to set a search word for fallback (when no recommendations are found), so I typed that in. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:49
- glad to hear the search box is good, though :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:27
- :) I keep trying to tell the related products thing to only use one row, but it's ignoring me. I might have to get creative with CSS. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:26
Well I suppose we can hope that Trump really does something wrong before the electoral college votes - eag Nov 9, 16:07 26
- Guys, I went through the same thing when Dilma was elected two years ago: I thought her government would be a disaster.. - Marlowe Nov 9, 16:17 25
  - Very well said. -- nm - Amanda Nov 9, 16:34
  - I hope he is much better than anyone thought that didn't like him. I hope he surprises us and we have robust growth and prosperity. - Bacon Nov 9, 16:21 14
    - it's horrifying to me that I hope he used his racism, his misogyny, his hatred to get in but then doesn't govern that way. - ty97 Nov 9, 16:39 11
      - It wouldn't be the first time that someone got elected by lying his/her ass off.. - Marlowe Nov 9, 16:46 3
        
        Lies are nothing new in politics, and he told tons of them. I just don't think those were the lies. - ty97 Nov 9, 16:47 2
        
        Imagine the irony of a wall on our Southern Border when we spent decades to remove the one in Germany. - Bacon Nov 9, 16:49 1
        
        at least the useless fucking wall will create jobs! (look at me being an optimist) - ty97 Nov 9, 16:51
      - I actually think he's less of a threat than Pence. I don't think he cares about most stuff enough to do anything about it. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 9, 16:40 6
        
        Pence scares me because of the religious element combined with forcing that upon the country. Trump is not religious though he tried a couple times - Bacon Nov 9, 16:44 1
        
        honestly, I don't think the religious people much (cared / believed) he was religious. - ty97 Nov 9, 17:15
        
        I'd like to think that, but I have a few concerns with it - ty97 Nov 9, 16:42 3
        
        That also wasn't a defense of Trump, obviously. :) Just that Trump won't press on religiously motivated issues because he doesn't care. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 9, 16:50 1
        
        oh I know it wasn't! - ty97 Nov 9, 17:04
        
        (none of this is in any way a defense of Pence and his hateful record) -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 16:43
    - There is nothing that ive seen from him that would make me think he would be an effective leader - eag Nov 9, 16:34 1
      - he does have some capable and competent people in his work life - not everyone, but enough that I have some hope that - b. Nov 9, 16:41
  - yep. he won the game as it is played...nm - x Nov 9, 16:19 4
    - agreed, it sucks. but a playing field is a playing field....nm - x Nov 9, 16:44 2
      - absolutely agreed, I make no challenge to the outcome. I do want the EC abolished (pipe dream) but that's a future issue. - ty97 Nov 9, 17:10
      - (should be reply to ty97)...nm - x Nov 9, 16:45
    - yes, while I've never liked the EC (going back to learning about in grade school) it's our (flawed) legal system -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 16:39
  - Well said. He has earned his chance to sink or swim now. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 16:18 3
    - If he sinks he will take alot of people down with him - eag Nov 9, 16:28 2
      - What pisses me off more than anything, perhaps, right now is my desire that he not sink, for all our sakes - ty97 Nov 9, 17:12 1
        
        Well no one wants to see him sink cause the consequences would be potentially catastrophic - eag Nov 9, 17:32
"I thought the fight scenes were largely an incomprehensible mess". so, it's a marvel movie...nm - x Nov 9, 16:04 6
- This one is on a whole different level. - David Nov 9, 16:16 4
  - i just hope the big license "characters" who are worth huge money don't get killed off!...nm - x Nov 9, 16:36 1
    - This is probably why Joss wanted out. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:40
  - Nine Lives? -- nm - Max Nov 9, 16:23
  - spoilers for doctor strange - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:21
- Yep.. - Marlowe Nov 9, 16:06
Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:03
I...almost prefer this? (prefer as in a choice between slicing off my left nut or my right nut) -- (link) - ty97 Nov 9, 15:59 7
- It really is amazing at the GOP rogues gallery he could assemble. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 16:20 1
  - And the people who stood by him will ascend. It's 2016 so of course we have Omarosa making statements that Trump has a 'list' and a long memory - ty97 Nov 9, 16:40
- Giuliani as the face of the nation to other countries? Ye gods. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 16:14 4
  - we're likely to get someone awful in the role regardless, might as well keep him out of Justice -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 16:37
  - boris johnson-rudy g summit meeting!....nm - x Nov 9, 16:17 2
    - step aside, Yalta Summit -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 16:19 1
      - (Not so fast, Stalin) -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 16:29
I do a couple of online surveys including Harris Poll. This is the title of one they offered me today.... - Meg Nov 9, 15:59
Like, seriously, the Michigan thing is just taunting me. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 15:57 14
- (and now the contest is closer) -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 16:10
- Have you read Silver's "if 1 out of 100 had voted for Clinton instead of Trump"? - David Nov 9, 16:00 11
  - He cleared 270 by more than Michigan. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 16:12 6
    - That's not what Silver was saying. Read the article. It's fascinating. -- nm - David Nov 9, 16:13 5
      - The vitriol headed his way today is predictable but still strange - Reagen Nov 9, 17:01
      - I see it now. I want to see the same for 2000/2004/2012. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 16:17 3
        
        2000 - Gore takes NH and FL or Bush takes NM WI IA OR - Reagen Nov 9, 16:24 2
        
        2000 was basically a coin flip. The margin in FL was probably lower than the margin of error. -- nm - mafic Nov 9, 16:29 1
        
        yup. there is no reliable way to know for sure who won that vote count. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 16:36
  - In just MI or the U.S.? - Bacon Nov 9, 16:04 3
    - the u.s. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 9, 16:12 2
      - That's very interesting -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 16:18 1
        
        It looks like he realized a tiny little bit too late that when polls are that close - Marlowe Nov 9, 16:59
- Am I seeing right that MI and NH havent been called yet ? - eag Nov 9, 16:00
Kim Kardashian 2020 is going to be unstoppable. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:55 7
- It'll be a real slap in the face when she nominates Diddy as Secretaty of Kanye Ideas. -- nm - mafic Nov 9, 16:22 2
  - I'm just going to say that's not a typo. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 17:05 1
    - What's weird it that it autocorrected to that. Siri knows. -- nm - mafic Nov 9, 17:16
- Furry Wall in Diddys House -- nm - budice Nov 9, 16:02
- Jeff Probst will stop her in the primaries -- nm - crash davis Nov 9, 15:56 2
  - Taylor Swift vs Beyonce is gonna be epic -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 15:57 1
    - until Taylor's ex-boyfriends start talking trash about her. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 9, 16:15
