That's A Wrap -- http://53eig.ht/2feEUgM

Night all.

What's going through Trump's head right now?

I think by now even die-hard Trump supporters are getting a little bit worried what it is they have done. Let's hope for the best. He can't be any worse than W, can he?

Trump will be much better than W.

Unfortunately, the world is also in a worse shape. Much worse.

Totally agree. This country and the globe are in an economic shit storm, and it's going to take a lot of effort and time and cooperation to get us out of it. It's similar to Obama inheriting the Great Recession, except the Fed have already used most of the weapons in their arsenal to stave off economic contraction. This is the time for real, structural change...no other way out.

just any guy says

And Trump is known for that?

He's known for challenging the status quo, breaking significant new ground, and winning. I know you want a guarantee of success, but that's not the way life works. Every candidate is a risk...gotta do your best with the info you have, place your bets, and roll the dice. Hillary would be just more of the same.

About 1hr ago, the US stock index futures reversed course and are now down ONLY around 1.5% or so. Did Trump place a call to Janet Yellen at the FRB? I sure hope not. Or did she act alone? Or what?

Don't really care that much about the person (though what significant new ground he's broken or what history of winning he has is not apparent to me outside of a surprise election victory); it's the policies that they bring with them that concerns me.

716 comments so far in such a short period of time, and I bet the number of distinct users for this thread would be interesting too.

I'll be searching YouTube for some spicy Hitler videos. This election should be good for several good ones.

Hungarian PM Orban hails Trump victory as 'great news'

BUDAPEST, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban congratulated U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on his election victory on Wednesday, with the words "What a great news. Democracy is still alive" posted on his Facebook page.

Orban said in July that Trump's plans on migration and foreign policy were "vital" for Hungary, whereas those of rival Democrat Hillary Clinton were "deadly".

Orban was then the first European head of state to express a clear preference for either of the two candidates.

For each celeb that leaves, can we replace them with a smoking hot Czech immigrant?

Their exit strategy must go through washington where they will be bestowed with a final farewell pussygrab by the BusinessmanInChief...

Open up the insurance state borders!
Make America competitive again!!

It's going to be really, really hard to learn how to suck Trump's dick.

There are quite a few people on this forum that can give you some pointers, and maybe you can even learn to enjoy it as much as they do.

Marcus is still all butt-hurt.

Marcus already had his dream president for 8 years. He needs to stop whining and let the other side play now.

Once they check out the personal income tax they'd be paying elsewhere, they'll change their minds. This happens every election cycle. Pu$$ies with no principles.

@Patrick

Every post has a delete button. i clicked on a post not mine and got the window to "really delete?".

Meltdown??

@"Ranina ranina" can you still see those delete links?

rando says

can you still see those delete links?

No.

Waiting for the Clinton concession speech. The elevator-type waiting music is schizophrenic. Something nondescript, then Sousa marches, then classical orchestral music, then some weird action-film music fitting for a British spy thriller (TV version), then something that sounds like a RUSSIAN marching band, replete with sad homeland undertones of the WW2 variety, back to British spy thriller again, Sousa again, ...., Metallica Joe Satriani, Satriani again!! They turned down the volume. Beyonce?? (suggestion: If you want it you then should'a put a ballot in it.), Ain't no mountain high enough (seems fitting), some reggae tune, more reggae (suggestion: No woman, no cry), Bruce Springsteen, some r&b song, applause, Tim Kane is speaking, Hillary speaking, looking almost chipper, I sense a "don't stop thinking about tomorrow" coming on soon? No, did not happen. No music afterwards, except ABC playing a 5min long version of their telegraph/typewriter news/urgency anthem.

What's next? A parodically misplaced Neil Young:Keep On Rocking In The Free World? The live SNL version of that song would be my campaign music if I ever ran for anything.

PS: Thank god they are not playing that incredibly lame new Bon Jovi song, This House Is Not For Sale. My god, the guy was never much of a genius, but the amount of pandering he is getting into is just staggering.

Yeah. I know. This is just a post-election rant.

Speaking fees just plummeted.

I reckon the price to get either Clinton to speak at your Rotary Club Luncheon is now about 300 bucks.

Delete link is gone

Maybe the delete button is why it seemed like some members were missing in action from this conversation. Could there have been poster fraud?

No. Gone now!

Tim Kane is making it sound like The Patriarchy (TM) was the downfall of Hillary. No. Hill The-Wall-St-Shill was the downfall of Hillary.

By the way, it was funny (??) that Trump almost forgot to thank VP elect MIke Pence during his victory speech.

The queen bee enters the hive...

We are witnessing the fall of the house of Clinton...

Bill Clinton not biting his lip, yet. He looks dejected. I feel his pain! Huma Abdedin on split screen with Hillary for a long time! Obama is getting a standing applause, Hillary pandering to little girls everywhere, Hillary quoting the bible, The End.

Global Warming, Kiss My Ass!

Science is flawed. Bring back carbonated beverages!!!
