Anti-Trump protesters don’t know what a real dictator is | New York Post
"It’s time to stop acting like we’re living through the Arab Spring. The protesters in the streets over Donald Trump’s victory aren’t dissidents rising up to demand free elections. They’re rising up to oppose a free election."

Can anything more go wrong?
Trump win puts U.S.-Russia hostility on hold - but for how long?Reuters
After years of rising U.S.-Russia tensions over Ukraine, Syria, cyber attacks and nuclear arms control, Donald Trump's election as U.S. president may offer a narrow window to repair relations as he and Russian President Vladimir Putin size up each other. Read the full story
Dude, if we don't keep that U.S.-Russia hostility going, what will we have left to believe in?

David Duke was a Democrat once
So was I. Does that make me David Duke? I think not.
Aaron Sorkin pens letter to teen daughter about Trump's America - NY Daily News
"The Klan won last night. White nationalists. Sexists, racists and buffoons."
For the record, when Duke was running in the 1988 Democratic primary I was tramping around the neighborhood campaigning for some guy named Dukakis.
Duke is a Trump backer now. Does that make everybody who voted for Trump Duke? Of course not. And implying so is unhelpful. And dumb.
Nightmares end. This too shall pass.
Why should any of it make sense?

So I think I'll go get one more bag of potato chips…
…(potatoes are a vegetable) and then settle in to watch the end of the world.
I did vote. I have a little "I voted" sticker stuck to the inside of my pocket. So that's that.
I don't do three-cushion voting. It's not a bank shot. I vote for the person among those available I think would do the best job, not Person B who might keep Person C from beating Person D. But hey, if you like watching things bounce around, go for it.
Everybody gets (or should get) one vote, and everybody should use it. If you haven't yet, get going.

Celebrities who said they'll leave America if Trump wins
SF Gate
Celebrities: They panic just like us. Since even before the presidential primaries began, the specter of a Donald Trump presidency has compelled some jittery Americans, famous or otherwise, to threaten leaving the country if it happens. It's the kind of usually empty threat that has been directed at such previous candidates as George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and plenty others. Read the full story
The weekend of the punching bags
Looks like the top-ranked college football teams are gunning for bowl bids and national playoff slots about now: Alabama, the pikers, only scored 10 points in beating LSU, but Washington rolled up 66 points; Ohio State, 62; Loisville, 52; Clemson, 54; Michigan, 59; TCU, 62; and Washington State, 69 against totally crushed opponents. And there were a few mere blowouts on the scoreboard as well. Ouch.
