šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø šŸ’£ The US Presidential Race

So many people saying Clinton lost because she’s a woman…conveniently forgetting what a horrendous person she is. It may be a factor but certainly not the reason she lost.

How the hell they ended up with a choice between these two cretins I’ll never know.

America always has to outdo everyone doesn’t it. I thought after Brexit we would hold the title of most moronic vote of the year.

I think one thing we can all agree on, democracy doesn’t work.

And France, and Holland. There seems to be a worrying lurch to the right in most of the world.

Reactionary politics at its best/worst. Le Pen in next.

The Republicans have the Senate and Congressional majorities as well - Bye Bye Obamacare, Hello More Guns

I see the markets have done it again. Placed all therir chips on the wrong colour and are now frantically trying to get out of their positions.

Also a shout out the pollsters who yet again, fucked it up.

Well, I guess we’ll now get to see if indeed a Trump presidency will be better for the world at large. As others have suggested above, Trump’s brand of populist nationalism will have a massive influence elsewhere - politicians of the same stripe in other countries will be massively encouraged by this.

It’s looking more and more to me as if we’re hell=bent on a return to the politics and economics of the 1930s. That ended well, didn’t it.

Really? That’s an interesting analysis. Care to expand on that?

My 8 year old daughters reaction this morning, when I said President Trump - ā€œOh my god, he is going to make us all fartā€.

In the past, every time I mentioned his name, she just laughed, just his name, nothing else, she laughed. She is 8!

I think he’ll do Alright, I don’t think he means half them dumb things he says. I like his style, you start off by demanding something outrageous, and then settle for something more reasonable down the line. It’s a Negotiating Tactic, like when you go up to a girl and ask if you can fist her, and she’s like no, but she’ll give you a suck job, if that’s ok.

Apparently, the Canadian immigration website crashed last night as the results started to roll in.

Makes something of a mockery of this ā€œgreatest country in the worldā€ lark.

Yes, just heard that on the radio… kneejerk!

ā€œNever underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.ā€
