POLITICAL BULLSHIT

[gravedigger]

I'm starting with rum tonight and moving on to bourbon tomorrow. How about you guys?

This just in from CBS News!!!!

"11:13 a.m. ET Hillary Clinton wins the vote on the U.S. island of Guam, reports the Pacific Daily News.

The U.S. citizens in Guam casting ballots totaled 32,071. Clinton received 71.63 percent of the vote, while Trump received 24.16 percent. Socialist candidate Emidio Soltysik, the only third-party candidate on the ballot, took in 4.22 percent of the vote.

Guam, 15 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, frequently calls itself “Where America’s Day Begins.” For the last several years (since 1980), Guam residents have correctly chosen the winner of each presidential race. The island’s voting record was upset in 1996, however, when a typhoon hit Guam on the nation’s voting day.

Votes from Guam, however, don’t count, as the island has no representation in the Electoral College.

Somewhere, out there, Iggy T. Borg looks heavenward and thanks his maker.

got in at 7 this morning, waited for less than 2 mins. Woot.

Tonight is video games and beer.

Went with my mother-in-law to vote. We were the only ones for our district voting at the time we voted. We basically were in and out in under 15 minutes.

Dude arrested in Spring, 30-40 minutes north of Houston, for carrying a "faggots vote dem" sign and carrying a handgun and approaching votes and voting station.

I want to know more about the guy in the KISS armor, though.

Also, that video of Obama voting with "Hit Em Up" playing at the end is the best.

[Timothy225]

Got in and voted in less than 5 minutes this morning, even with the place packed. Probably the easiest and quickest voting experience I ever had.

I might have to go to Florida for interviews again in a couple weeks. It'd probably ruin rapport if I opened with "so, are you one of the dumb motherfuckers who voted Gary Johnson?", right?

I had this same thought.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'm glad that I was able to have a civil discussion about politics today without THE END IS NEAR/WE ARE ALL DOOMED rhetoric that is plaguing all of social media. That was nice.

[BillyG]

Naw, you're just doomed if you aren't a white hetero dude. And even then you might be if the economy turns bad. Which is historically does under the right.

[Abraham Smashington]

and there it is

These protests are bullshit. I get being unhappy about the result but protesting the result is stupid. We have a democracy where people are voted upon. Somebody has to lose, and you have to be prepared for your candidate to be the loser. Trump was duly elected and, by right, is the next president. Dislike the result all that you want, you have to support his right to be president. Protest his policies, protest his actions, protest his stances...those are all fine. Protesting that he won the election is wrong, and it's a disservice to the fundamental principles of our democracy.

[Abraham Smashington]

The country is gonna make it through this shit like we always do.

I'm not sorry that I was born a white male. I think Trump is a fuckstick, but holy shit am I sick of hearing I can't have an opinion because I'm a white male. The hypocrisy is fucking staggering. The DNC fucked themselves by pushing a shitty candidate that America didn't want, and then further fucked themselves by pulling the wool over their eyes and figuring that people would vote "correctly". Well, lesson fucking learned. These next 4 years will probably suck but bitching and moaning isn't going to do shit to change it. At least you're putting your money where your mouth is with your donations. Most people just retweet the same shit and call it a day.

Exactly. And these same people were livid when Trump made that comment that he may/may not concede if he won. YOU ARE DOING THE SAME THING HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO. Sack up, and make sure this doesn't happen again in 4 years.
