grannyrose

My condolences

8:36 am

MollyL

It is a very sad day for America.

8:46 am

mael

i am gutted

8:47 am

Shirlockc

i just can't grasp the deep rooted misogyny and racism in this country, i thought we were over it

8:50 am

rururocks

I'm speechless really I was very hopeful we'd be rid of him

8:50 am

MollyL

It is worse than most people think it is

8:53 am

Shirlockc

i guess it's as they say, you get the prez you deserve

8:54 am

rururocks

he's not my president

8:54 am

Shirlockc

i was using "you" in the general plural -- he's not my prez either

8:54 am

mael

he's going to get golf clubs and a podium, the real presidents are the billionaires that paid for him

8:55 am

Shirlockc

i was thinking that maybe it would have been better if biden lost the last one, then it would have been over by now

8:55 am

mael

i was thinking the same thing

8:56 am

Shirlockc

but alt history aside, i'm so depressed -- people at work are taking mental health days

8:56 am

mael

I cried when I had to tell my daughter this morning

8:57 am

mael

I can't even go through the motions today

8:58 am

Shirlockc

and the senate too sad sad sad

8:58 am

Shirlockc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLiagI\ndA84c this was a hopeful note from Jon Stewart

8:59 am

rururocks

Here's two scarier thoughts... he may not leave this time, and if he dies in office it's president vance.. what the f is wrong with the voters?

9:01 am

mael

I'm not scared that he won't leave, I think he's an orange puppet with scrambled eggs for brains, I'm afraid of the supreme court for the next 40 years

9:01 am

Shirlockc

ditto mael

9:01 am

rururocks

oh god.. I didn't even think of that mael.. that's frightening

9:03 am

rururocks

I realized one thing last night, I'm likely to be drinking heavier this holiday season.

9:05 am

rururocks

Posts in the chat in December: "Oh.. here comes old drunk ru"..."ru? have you been drinking?"

9:10 am

MollyL

President Vance scares the living shit out of me

9:10 am

rururocks

yes indeed... that's what we may have since Trump's everyone's favorite target lately

9:11 am

MollyL

It's dementia that is going to get Trump. It is already.

9:12 am

MollyL

The fact that that many people voted for a convicted felon says very sad things about this country.

9:14 am

MollyL

And that is how I will refer to him from now on. President Felon.

9:14 am

rururocks

I am glad and impressed that women came out in droves to vote against him. I don't understand the black, and latin vote. Lots of my neighbors have Trump signs in front of their house. Some of their "friends" are going to be deported?

9:14 am

rururocks

good one Molly... if the shoe fits...

9:15 am

MollyL

I don't understand the black and latino vote either.

9:15 am

Shirlockc

how do you know that the women voted against him? IMHO, they may have voted for him, women do not support other women in many cases

9:19 am

rururocks

they had great numbers of women sending in ballots early.. the assumption is they were mostly voting blue, but in Pennsylvania who knows? I thought Kamala had that state locked up by early returns.

9:19 am

MollyL

I will never understand any woman who supports Trump

9:20 am

rururocks

that is the real question Molly.. I don't get it either. They are setting women's rights back another hundred years

9:21 am

BzznBea

Thinking of the latino voters, they have to be naturalized to vote. Those that are going to be deported are the ones here illegally. So I can see why they woyld vote that way.

9:25 am

mael

we've lost all sense of community

9:26 am

mael

the deportation promise is the perfect example of that

9:26 am

MollyL

Good point mael

9:48 am

rururocks

here in California it's not like that.. we have tons of illegal workers, many of them hopelessly trying to get a green card for years and years and years.. those people have been paying taxes and are going to be the first to go

9:49 am

mael

we'll be deporting our friends and neighbors, people who are integral to our communities

9:49 am

mael

and for what?

9:49 am

Shirlockc

and who will be doing those jobs? and paying those taxes?

9:49 am

Shirlockc

the jobs will be outsourced so who wins there?

9:49 am

rururocks

that's the rub.. no one will do those jobs

9:54 am

Shirlockc

and we can kiss alt energy goodbye, climate action will be done in this country

9:54 am

rururocks

most of my neighborhood is hispanic... btw...

9:54 am

UntitledDocument

The thing that terrifies me the most is not knowing how many of his votes came from people who don't care anymore, and how many came from the conspiratorial types

10:01 am

dauber

I know I'm probably in the minority, but I'm feeling more physically relieved now just because it's over. I hate the outcome, but at least the stress from worrying about the result was over.

What I just can't get past is that *they already called it*. Last time it took several days to count the mail-in votes. We had mail-in votes this time too.

10:03 am

UntitledDocument

I'm also relieved that the feeling of uncertainty is gone, but I wanted it to be closer than it was

10:05 am

rururocks

you don't feel more uncertain about our future?

10:06 am

rururocks

I'm sure Putin is ecstatic for the results of this election as I'm sure Trump will eliminate aid to Ukraine.

10:06 am

UntitledDocument

I don't actually. I don't know why. Might be denial

10:06 am

godthaab

There is a civil war in the country. Not a physical war, but where the enemies are divided, just like in a real war. There is a war on women's rights, human rights, the economh, social structures, judiiciary, and general hate crimes will soar.

10:06 am

godthaab

Putin has actually declined to comment

10:07 am

rururocks

true godth...hate crimes will be off the charts again

10:07 am

rururocks

Putin just needs to reconnect those strings he hasn't used in a long time

10:08 am

Aloyisius

am depressed this morning, but glad we voted and know we are not responsible for this debacle

10:13 am

KnightTime

Since I am "garbage," I am sad that it was as close as it was.

10:16 am

UntitledDocument

How you can vote for a person who has no care whatsoever for his fellow human beings is beyond me

10:17 am

mama

I don't usually post in the chat but I'm so down this morning. Trying to lose myself in Babble. I wish it had 500+ words today so I could just hide here typing.

10:17 am

KnightTime

UD agreed - that's why i didn't vote for Biden or Harris

10:17 am

Aloyisius

know how you feel, mama

10:19 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:20 am

Aloyisius

hi mool

10:21 am

moolingwa

hey aloy

10:22 am

superflippy

I'm worried about my family and friends. They're going to be hurt, lose healthcare, lose jobs.

10:23 am

rururocks

If you are garbage knight you could move to Puerto Rico?

10:24 am

KnightTime

Only if you move there first

10:25 am

rastapopolous

joining the blues parade with you all. we lost ranked choice voting here in NV as well - both the Ds and Rs campaigned heavily against it...

10:25 am

mama

My zillennial son and his girlfriend are so disheartened. It kills me that she won't have the same rights I once had.

10:27 am

rururocks

That was a joke knight

10:27 am

dan2bit

a poor one

10:29 am

rururocks

Not really Dan there were garbage comments on both sides

10:30 am

Aloyisius

fw..no use crying over spilt milk so I guess I'll get busy with chores. Happy Babbling!

10:33 am

KnightTime

no problem ru - I wouldn't wish a move to Puerto Rico on anyone.

10:33 am

wingding

ruru your 9:19am comment, i'm in PA .. i have no idea how that happened .. my wife is very upset ... i'm more concerned about my 9yo education going forward ... this is a huge game changer for education here

10:33 am

moolingwa

Have you ever been to Puerto Rico Knight?

10:34 am

KnightTime

No, thank goodness. No plans to ever go there.

10:35 am

KnightTime

BTW - I did not bring up Puerto Rico - Ru did.

10:38 am

rururocks

ok everyone.. the puerto rico thing was a JOKE.. just trying to lighten up the chat. Knight is entitled to his opinion as far as I am concerned.

10:42 am

KnightTime

I have no opinion on Puerto Rico since I have never been there. Like Ru I was just jabbing back at his obvious joke.

10:43 am

Gillie

Trump has actually said that he will deport even legal immigrants in some cases where he believes they are here due to Democrat trickery

10:44 am

rururocks

anyone going to put Porn stars on notice?

10:44 am

Gillie

Those supposedly "cat-eating" Haitians, for instance

10:45 am

joym999

Hi, friends. Sad day. It's good that this community exists.

10:45 am

Gillie

I guess you would know more about that than I do, ru

10:46 am

rururocks

my guess is you know about it as much as I do gillie

10:46 am

cybernan

wishing you a good morning for everyone's well being - not because I think this is a great day :)

10:47 am

Gillie

I honestly know nothing about porn, except that it exists in copious quantities

10:49 am

rururocks

I don't know much about porn either... hence my comment..

10:50 am

Gillie

oh - I guess you were joking about a particular porn star that Trump might want to deport

10:50 am

rururocks

good morning Nan..

10:51 am

Gillie

I thought you were suggesting that a lot of porn stars are immigrants

10:52 am

rururocks

no.. just a joke about porn stars watching out for our president.... although it's doubtful Melania will get pregnant again so he can do it

10:52 am

moolingwa

Yeah, figured you hadn't been

10:52 am

moolingwa

I have, enjoyed it

10:53 am

rururocks

enjoyed what mool Porn?

10:54 am

moolingwa

oh yes, and Puerto Rico

10:54 am

rururocks

oh okay.. ha then

10:54 am

moolingwa

not at the same time though, just to be clear

10:55 am

rururocks

:D

10:55 am

Gillie

you've enjoyed Puerto Rico, or you enjoy Puerto Rico garbage comments?

10:55 am

rururocks

my brother was big into porn...

10:55 am

moolingwa

I enjoyed Puerto Rico

10:55 am

origami

Porn and Puerto Rico ... I never know what I will find in the chat when I get here

10:56 am

lbuxx

it's a beautiful day!

10:56 am

rururocks

Porno Rico we should call it heretoforth

10:56 am

moolingwa

snowed here last night, first of the season

10:56 am

Gillie

it really is too bad that Puerto Ricans don't get to vote, even though they pay taxes - so much for "no taxation without representation"

10:57 am

moolingwa

I get to pay taxes and can't vote

10:57 am

Gillie

why can't you vote?

10:58 am

joym999

Puerto Ricans can RUN for president, but they can't VOTE for president.

10:58 am

rururocks

weather wise ibuxx or politically for you?

10:58 am

origami

Puerto Ricans only pay social security and medicare taxes

10:58 am

moolingwa

not a citizen...but non-citizens get to pay taxes, so I have that going for me

10:58 am

rururocks

weather wise ibuxx or politically for you?

10:58 am

lbuxx

both Ru. Both.

10:58 am

lbuxx

sori

10:58 am

lbuxx

shoot.. sorry..

11:00 am

rururocks

ok.. that's interesting.. as a woman why did you vote for him given all the agenda he and the supreme court and Republican party have against women's rights?

11:00 am

rururocks

just curious

11:02 am

Shirlockc

at least I don't have to see those political ads anymore

11:02 am

moolingwa

and the spam texts...I'm glad to be done with that

11:02 am

lbuxx

I don't think it was a vote against women's rights. Abortion was returned to the States - a vote for a democrat for President isn't going to change that. I also don't believe in Biden or Harris's agenda.

11:03 am

lbuxx

mool - excactly! I was getting like 15 of them a day...lol

11:03 am

rururocks

not for women who live in texas

11:03 am

Shirlockc

or florida

11:03 am

rururocks

women are dying there due to the change in laws

11:03 am

Shirlockc

or anywhere in the south who are too poor to travel

11:03 am

moolingwa

Idaho has some interesting laws

11:04 am

rururocks

no kidding

11:04 am

joym999

You're dreaming if you think abortion was really returned to the states. I guarantee you the Republicans will pass a national abortion ban and Trump will sign it.

11:04 am

MollyL

With all of the hideous things Trump has said about women it astounds me that any woman would vote for him

11:04 am

dauber

Why don't we just steal the election like we did in 2020?

11:04 am

rururocks

I think so too Joy

11:04 am

lbuxx

I doubt that joy. He was the one that returned it to the States. If he was going to do something like that it would have happened.

11:04 am

dauber

dome

11:04 am

dauber

oops

11:04 am

dauber

sorry

11:05 am

Gillie

Josseli Barnica, 28, and Nevaeh Crain, 18 died in Texas due to delays in getting miscarriage health care

11:06 am

rururocks

um he was the one that overturned Roe vs Wade ibuxx

11:06 am

moolingwa

Actually Trump had no direct input on the case of abortion being "returned" to the States...that was the Supreme Court.

11:06 am

Gillie

He was the one who stacked the Supreme Court with conservatives

11:06 am

moolingwa

Trump, as far as I can tell, actually isn't that invested in abortion...

11:06 am

lbuxx

Ru - yes I know. To return the decision to the States.

11:06 am

Shirlockc

which he actively stacked (jinx gillie)

11:07 am

joym999

I know you doubt that, ibuxx, but you'll be eating your words in a year, or more, likely coming up with some reason why it's a good idea.

11:07 am

moolingwa

Well, stacking the Supreme Court was more Heritage Foundation and guys like Mitch McConnell

Trump just went along with it

11:08 am

Gillie

They're backing Trump because he "goes along with it"

11:08 am

moolingwa

Trump is interested in what's good for him

11:08 am

rururocks

true

11:08 am

Shirlockc

and what's good for all the $ who supported him

11:09 am

Gillie

He really doesn't care about abortions one way or the other, but he's backed by extreme anti-abortionists

11:09 am

moolingwa

He's very attracted to fame and wealth

11:09 am

moolingwa

Everything else is really just a means to an end

11:09 am

Shirlockc

and oligarchs

11:10 am

moolingwa

As John Kelly said (I'm paraphrasing here), he's easily manipulated and not very smart

11:10 am

lbuxx

okay ya'll.. lol

11:10 am

rururocks

not it's fine.. it's a free country people can think what they want. I'm not criticizing anyone

11:10 am

Gillie

Have you seen how many people he appointed to government positions now say that he's poison?

11:11 am

MollyL

The super rich will continue to run this country and get all the benefits. The rest of us can just wait on them.

11:12 am

joym999

I agree, Molly. I think it's really Elon Musk and Peter Thiel who just got elected president.

11:12 am

dauber

I agree with Gillie. Also, his own personal life shows that he's not racist or homophobic -- he's CLASSIST. Case in point: it's true, when Jennifer Hudson's nephew was murdered, he let the family live in his tower rent-free for a while. BUT -- would he have done that with a black family who wasn't rich and/or famous?

11:13 am

Shirlockc

that

11:13 am

moolingwa

I think the real challenge is going to be that Trump is going to have a very small pool of people to draw from to develop policies, and those folks are generally on the fringe.

So we should be in for some fun times ahead

11:13 am

rururocks

i gotta go to work.. nice discussion today without a lot of name calling

11:13 am

Shirlockc

ditto on that ruru

11:13 am

dauber

GET TO WORK, YA JERK!

11:13 am

dauber

(just kidding)

11:14 am

moolingwa

jerk

11:14 am

moolingwa

hah!

11:14 am

lbuxx

serious question here - did you guys feel lied to about Biden's health? No arguing, just wondering.

11:14 am

Shirlockc

most of my peeps at work are taking mental health day, i might too lol

11:14 am

rururocks

ha..

11:14 am

rururocks

what about Trump's mental decline ibuxx?

11:14 am

moolingwa

I really didn't like Biden, but he was obviously health challenged...as is Trump

11:15 am

rururocks

have you listed to any of his rally speeches of late?

11:15 am

lbuxx

how is Trump challenged? guy's got more energy than me.

11:15 am

lbuxx

yes I have

11:15 am

Gillie

Trump does now say that he believes character is genetic - and he has described immigrants in general, especially Mexican, as rapists and murderers. And he believes that he is a scientific expert, just because he has an uncle that taught at MIT

11:15 am

MollyL

Do you not read the ridiculous things he has said?

11:15 am

rururocks

he rambles and veers off subject to the weirdest shit ever

11:16 am

moolingwa

His mental sharpness is deteriorating

11:16 am

rururocks

agreed.. he's losing it

11:16 am

Gillie

He tells people that his rallies are packed to the rafters at rallies that are visibly half empty

11:16 am

MollyL

This is further proof of people supporting Trump without any detailed knowledge of him and what he has said.

11:16 am

moolingwa

then there was that interesting townhall near Philly, where he just kind of danced

11:16 am

rururocks

he always had a problem with size measurements gillie

11:16 am

Gillie

for 40 minutes

11:17 am

moolingwa

That's really just normal him to me Gillie to be honest

11:17 am

moolingwa

The mental sharpness is more misnaming people, going into pauses at odd moments

11:18 am

lbuxx

Molly - exactly what you said but I'm on the opposing side. A lot of people think they know all these things about Trump but I think a lot of them just hear the media parroting insane things. Just my opinion.

11:18 am

Gillie

not being able to remember that French fries are fried in a "fryer"

11:18 am

Shirlockc

or how about saying that liz cheney should be put in front of a firing squad?

11:18 am

moolingwa

I don't doubt that running a campaign is taxing, but to me he looks like he's losing it a bit

11:18 am

lbuxx

honestly - I don't like politicians. Never have.

11:19 am

Gillie

I have watched the videos of Trump saying these things

11:20 am

MollyL

Yep, I have seen videos as well. This is not the media parroting anything.

11:20 am

Gillie

Kamala has never suggested anything half as insane as the things Trump says

11:20 am

hokie carla

I long for the day we have a candidate under 70

11:20 am

Gillie

like Kamala?

11:21 am

hokie carla

yes, I know Kamala is. but for a while both were not

11:21 am

hokie carla

ha, knew someone would say that

11:22 am

lbuxx

sooo.. on that he was describing Cheney as being a "war hawk" and suggested she may not be so pro-war if she was on the frontlines facing guns... Context ya'll.

11:22 am

MollyL

It is going to take a long time for the "good old boy" network to fizzle out.

11:23 am

Shirlockc

i like what jon stewart said (i think it was stewart), if your Grandpa started doing/saying such things you'll start looking for a nursing home

11:24 am

Shirlockc

and it's okay to even suggest that she be put in front of a firing squad? I understand context, but there are ways to say something without suggesting violence or murderous actions

11:24 am

missig 3 7's and an 8 -- enough - hagd everyone

Gillie

He's said he wants to lock up comedians who criticised him - like Jimmy Kimmel

11:24 am

MollyL

Trump said (exact quote) she should see how it feels to have guns trained on her face. Context y'all.

11:25 am

moolingwa

Trump has been a liar and a cheat his whole adult life...did not like him when he was a Democrat cozy with the Clintons, and don't like him now.

He just uses people for his own profit and fame, and he's got a long track record of doing that

11:28 am

moolingwa

At any rate, he's the president elect, so we're all in for some fun times ahead

11:30 am

joym999

You're not going to talk a Trump supporter out of supporting Trump, and even if you could it's too late. They'll wind up suffering along with the rest of us when prices for everything double because of tariffs, and hate crimes go through the roofs, and the construction, agriculture, landscaping and other industries go bust because there are no workers.

11:32 am

lbuxx

yep.. Because we all haven't been suffering already. Those things have been going on throughout this past administration. But you are correct Joy - I think we just see things a different way.

11:33 am

moolingwa

and the administration before the current one too for that matter :)

11:33 am

Gillie

Trump is the one proposing huge new tariffs - and he denies that that will result in higher prices, even when speaking to financial experts who tell him that

11:34 am

Gillie

He doesn't seem to understand that the consumers pay the tariffs

11:35 am

MollyL

You are right Joy. And then they will blame all of Trump's idiocy on the media or someone else.

11:38 am

MollyL

I work with Trump supporters and it is truly scary to listen to them. They have no clue what he is really about.

11:39 am

bichon

My daughter's married to a Ukrainian plus family. Feel very sorry for them

11:40 am

mrloser

He is guilty of sexual harrasment !! 34 felonies for his businesses. He bankrupted 2 casinos. 14 other banrupcies at least. 35,00 documented lies. Now he will kill all those court case. How great this looks to other countries. Putin and Xi are ecstatic as they own him. This will be a long 4 yrs. I feel for thos long term immigrants that he will attempt to toss out.

11:41 am

joym999

Yeh, my Ukrainian friend is really worried. He thinks Trump will cut off aid.

11:41 am

MollyL

But Mr Loser. He's going to Make America Great Again. (Loses lunch)

11:42 am

joym999

I'm curious to know what you think of January 6, ibuxx?

11:43 am

lbuxx

wait a sec.. you guys didn't answer my question. Fair is fair. Did you feel lied to about Biden's health after that debate?

11:43 am

moolingwa

I already said that Biden was obviously not mentally up for it

11:44 am

hurshy

top 2 rows grey!

11:44 am

Gillie

Biden evidently believed that he was still fit enough - but that doesn't matter. Biden wasn't running - Harris was

11:44 am

joym999

I felt lied to about both Biden and Trump's health. The different is that Biden dropped out.

11:44 am

mrloser

Am I weird or has America always been great. Millions are trying to get in. No one is trying to cross border to get in China, Russia....etc. What a joke.His tariffs will bankrupt this country. Lawyers will make billions during his reign.

11:45 am

hurshy

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor politics stays this Babbler from the swift finding of words"

11:45 am

MollyL

No, I didn't feel lied to. Biden dropped out of the race for the good of his party.

11:46 am

moolingwa

Well it's largely due to economy and the ability for the local population to supply the workers. Russia does have some significant migration into the country, though their economy is a lot smaller and much more concentrated around a few industries like agriculture and oil

11:48 am

lbuxx

Jan 6th was not good at all. But I cannot describe it as an "insurrection".. I have seen multiple vids of police/security opening the doors & bringing people in. Also, there should have been MORE security like Trump requested.

11:48 am

lbuxx

and we were ALL lied to. Biden has been declining the entire time but we were crazy if we pointed it out. I felt bad for him.. pretty much elder abuse.

11:49 am

MollyL

Wiping shit on the walls is not insurrection? And you keep saying that about the doors being opened, yes, the idiots who planned the Jan 6th crap paid off police to help them out. So?

11:50 am

moolingwa

China is still a developing economy, and also far more populous than the US, their salaries are not as high as a developed country like the US

11:51 am

Gillie

Have you seen the videos of police being bashed by poles? Do you remember that one women was shot after trying to climb through a shattered window into the barricaded speaker's lobby?

11:51 am

MollyL

Wow, lets just hope that Trump doesn't set up a Trump supporter base camp in Guyana.

11:51 am

Gillie

No doubt she was just a polite tourist

11:52 am

lbuxx

No. Wiping shit on the walls is not insurrection. Definitely bad taste though.

11:56 am

moolingwa

I had to look him up hurshy, wondered if he made washing machines :)

11:57 am

hurshy

though British, he was living in France when the Nazis invaded. they arrested him and put him in some kind of prison, where he carried on writing his silly stories

11:57 am

Shirlockc

and even if he wasn't directly responsible for Jan 6th, he also did not say Stop, people, go home

11:58 am

MollyL

Nor, as acting President, did he call out The National Guard.

11:59 am

hurshy

then he got sort of in trouble for being tricked into a broadcast that wasn't great to do, only because he wasn't, you know, savvy enough to understand he was being used and stuff, resulting in his living the rest of his life in exile in the US after the war, because the UK people were mad at him. but really i mean, he just fell for a scam because he didn't really LIVE in the real world, he lived in the world in his head, so it was most unfortunate.

shirlockc are you still here? That link you posted doesn't work. Do you have another?

12:04 pm

Shirlockc

hmmm the jon stewart link?

12:04 pm

Shirlockc

i think if you google Jon Stewart’s Election Night Takeaway | The Daily Show, you'll get it, it's on youtube

12:04 pm

joym999

yes, that one.

12:04 pm

Shirlockc

and thx hurshy for the os7, i actually got it

12:06 pm

“I know your pain, I know you’re hurt,” Trump said. “But you have to go home now, we have to have peace. We have to have law and order, we have to respect our great people in law and order.”

12:06 pm

joym999

that link didn't work, and I'm seeing a bunch of current Jon Stewart stuff on youtube. Just wondering what you posted.

Shirlockc

that's lovely ibuxx, but that does not erase all the hateful things he said -- china flu? my friends were harassed on the subway

12:08 pm

Shirlockc

he could have said stop ANY time and never did

12:10 pm

Gillie

he did, eventually, but not until long after he was asked to do so

12:11 pm

Gillie

while continuing to insist that the election was stolen

12:11 pm

lbuxx

so I prove that you're wrong and you just keep on going. that's okay too...lol I'd just like us all to get along again. I'm sure we are all lovely people. I've got my views, you have yours. It's a free country :-)

12:11 pm

hurshy

i voted after dark yesterday and there were people still outside the polling place holding signs for LOCAL candidates for our town. so i said to a couple of the guys doing that, "i hope your candidate is going to give you a really good dinner for this!"

12:12 pm

Gillie

you claim that it wasn't a violent insurrection, but there was plenty of violence, and the House had to be evacuated by Capitol police

12:12 pm

penquis

He also “So go home. We love you. You’re very special"...after the damage was done...that's condemning rioters?

12:12 pm

penquis

taking a break....bye all...

12:16 pm

Shirlockc

i should have followed my own policy of not discussing politics

12:17 pm

Gillie

Trump spent most of the riot enjoying watching it on TV

12:24 pm

crosshair

This will be my only comment on the election. As someone not eligible to vote, it amazes me that the morals of so many Trump voters align so closely to Trump's morals that it allowed him to win by such a wide margin.

12:25 pm

BzznBea

I will disagree with lbuxx. It is no longer a free country. Especially if you are a woman.

12:38 pm

I have been playing since 2005. @mollyl Why did you clear the chat yesterday?

Never seen that before. Was it a necessity that the owner of this site told you to do?

5:53 pm

I'm just Molly not @molly. And I cleared the chat because someone posted something that blew the chat width.

A seriously sad day for this country. a rapist and convicted felon elected to the white house. it beggars belief. i feel like we are living in a bizarro universe

6:48 pm

cybernan

You aren't the only one stunned by this morning's news, gin -- people in other countries are also wondering what's happening in the USA

6:53 pm

gingentle

the last time the orange hog felon was in office, most of his appointees, his so-called only the best people, were mostly found guilty of various crimes and given prison sentences. This time around, he has said he will suspend future elections, dismantle the Constitution and will remain dictator for the remainder of his life, miserable sod.

6:54 pm
