Donald Trump, the road that might not lead to the White House!

[kenny g]

Clinton is apparently not going to attend Rally. Will be seeking asylmn in Ecuadorian embassy.

 

[bluescreen]

Maybe it'll be auld "tup" pence who'll do it

No, that would be too much of a far thing...

 

[Spymaster]

Didn't you say hrc would win, pa?

No son, I said Trump would win on the poll.

Hilary should get some kind of prize though. She has, after all, managed to lose a presidential election to Donald fucking Trump, which is no mean feat.

 

[Pickman's model]

No, that would be too much of a far thing...

What, like this sorry result?

 

[killer b]

Haven't the Bush's rather burnt their bridges there?

 

[phillm]

I'm waiting for Casually Red's gracious healing acceptance speech. Guess he's not up yet but it will be a crowin' to end all crows.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Well; all the people who thought that Clinton was some form of the devil incarnate will now get a chance to taste the alternative.

 

[Mr Moose]

The people have spoken and anyone who says they may have been a bit racist in their decision making is a middle class bigot.

 

[mauvais]

How deep a hole does one need to dig these days?

 

[Spymaster]

I just heard Mrs Spy get up:

"OH MY GOD!"

They must be shredding stuff like there's no tommorow. Will be interesting to see Obama's speech. 8 years ago seems now all the Hope(Tm) is all used up ....

 

[Spymaster]

Everyone should now agree with Trump that the election was corrupt and rigged, and void the result.

 

[redsquirrel]

Anyone seen any figures on turnout?

 

[Spymaster]

On the plus side there are going to be some spectacular political fuck-ups to look forward to. It'll be like having Prince Phillip as PM.

 

[spliff]

OR

 

[killer b]

This was excellent (including the older articles). In some ways made me feel slightly more hopeful about some aspects of the result.

Not sure about that, but it's good to read something more measured that 'OMG HATE WON' and a little perspective.

 

[J Ed]

If anyone wants a longer read on why Clinton lost read Henwood's My Turn

 

[J Ed]

It was written a good while ago but the factors are all there, laid out in full and they haven't changed.

 

[Mr Moose]

Pitch it to Momentum.

 

[phillm]

Bono should have kept his fookin' big mouth shut.

 

[pocketscience]

Which page is the 8den meltdown on?

 

[Poi E]

After Brexit another strike at the forces of globalisation!

 

[krtek a houby]

In your face; liberals! Womens! Muslims! Mexicans! Gays! Trans!

 

[Kesher]

Hilary Clinton has phoned Trump and conceded

 

[Sprocket.]

David Miliband will be coming home then!

 

[phillm]

so much for the Illuminati controlling the shit show. If so they fucked up royally here.

 

[Dogsauce]

Anyone see that 'Muslims for Trump' clown on the BBC. Recited the line 'Obama divided America' which I've heard spouted quite a bit by others. How exactly did he do this, or is this just more post-truth nonsense?

 

[Miss Caphat]

Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

In a way, I think this will be us hitting rock bottom. And hopefully there's a way back up. And hopefully this teaches a lot of people an important lesson. I really don't see this lasting very long before something goes seriously wrong. A couple months, I'd guess, if that.

Congrats America! Here you go. It's like kids wanting to eat an entire birthday cake for supper. Won't be feeling so victorious when it comes back up again.

 

[phillm]

It's morning in America once again on that great shining hill which is a beacon of hope for all the world.

 

[redsquirrel]

And hopefully this teaches a lot of people an important lesson.

Who?

EDIT: and what?
