[get me outta here]

Waiting to get some results in from Florida. If DT does not take Fla, he misses out completely. Here's the results as they come in: The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia

Never have I cared so much for an election result, and its not even my country.

I keep reminding myself that my various US friends, that range from lefty Jewish chick in NY to hard core Clinton hater in Indiana, are allowed to have their own opinion on their politics but damn, both choices overwhelming suck.

Which theoretically means that either can win and it wont matter.
I think the world will be a worse place if Trump was elected.
If Clinton was elected then we couldnt trust a world she managed.

The former is the greatest risk.

Trump is leading. No idea who will win.

Reminds me of a book I read many years ago how someone outside of political parties won the election by promising everyone something.

A result this 'close' means the damage is already done.

Quite the opposite. The share market rose recently when Clinton was cleared by the FBI.

One of my FB friends, who seems perfectly normal when you meet him, just told us that he prayed over his vote to "remove that Jezebel! Or then we're gonna need an Elijah to remove the works of her evil hands"

Okayyyyyy *drink*

That was not what I meant. Just that even an eventual Clinton victory will not be received as well as before, because the States are now so clearly Divided.

Re: The totally off-topic thread

So if Trump wins and he has control of the Senate and House... who is he going to blame when he doesnt build his wall and deport all the "terrorists"?

 

[imipenam]

Re: The totally off-topic thread

With the subsequent financial crash ... DOW futures now down 700, Trump might not have the cash to build the wall anyway
