Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

There are plenty, but the only one to hire them is Fox.
+1 A couple others such as WSJ but not many.

Media bias will improve when Conservatives start attending journalism school, and when they replace the MSM

Looks like a decent meeting.
I haven't had a chance to watch yet but Obama spoke about this in his concession speech.  He said yes I have my differences but if you remember bush had his differences with me back in 08 and he and his team were the ultimate professionals in inviting me to the White House and helping in the transition.  He then said I have instructed my team to be as helpful and professional as the Bush team was.  He also said that a peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy.

not according to the people that believe that the people that created the constitution and the "rules" were racists, misogynists and just plain stupid compared to the enlightened liberal people we have now

It was simmering beneath the surface throughout the election season,

It was out in the open. The stuff Jewish journalists endured for past year plus is insane.

The one and only nekuda meshutefes between alt-right and the far left is hatred of Jews.

Trump (or his campaign) emboldened the alt-right anti-Semites in a way I've never seen in my lifetime. The question is what happens to them now?

This is simultaneously infuriating and refreshing. Like a suspected cheating husband who finally admits to his wife that he was cheating and wants to change his ways. Infuriating to have what you suspected (but hoped deep in your heart wasn't true) expressly confirmed, but refreshing to have taken what might be the first step towards healing.
If you don't care why would you comment?

That's because her turnout was dismal compared to the last two elections. Take one of her bases, the black vote. Any figures on the total voted this time compared to the last two elections?

Ok, now ask him to report this story as a show of good faith:

http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/10/man-severely-beaten-by-mob-shouting-you-voted-trump-6248405/

I don't see this story on CBS, NBC or ABC. I don't see it in the NYT or WP or AP.

My point is overall turnout was way down. IMHO the majority of those that stayed home were "D's".

Had the non-white voters who did show up voted for Clinton at the same percentages that they voted for Obama, then Clinton would likely be president.

there is something off with those numbers.
I think I am doing the math correctly, and if those numbers are correct then Clinton would have gotten a minimum of 70.91% of the popular vote

You are missing the point. The ones that showed up this year were more energized by Trump not HRC. That skews the results. The majority of those that stayed home would have been skewed for HRC. Look at total votes for the last three elections.

Anybody hear Rush today?

I spent some time in the car, and I heard him play several clips where he seems to have predicted so match of what has and is actually playing out.

He had a stark warning about the calls for unity, not that he doesn't want it, if it were genuine, but that the left means something totally different, and the right should be fully aware, and not give in.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
