The comedy is kind of over for me. The situation has moved from being hilarious to being pathetic.
I'm sure there will be plenty more laughs at the orange one's future follies, but the real issue is the fact that it would at least appear that half of the US is either flat out stupid or morally bankrupt. How else do you choose to vote for such a slob (no need to state his negative qualities here... they've been well documented to this point)?
If you're of the stupid variety and gal darn it... ya just wanted to make America great again... I can understand. If you're not stupid... then wtf man? Hilary was far from fantastic, but let's be honest around here: Trump was obviously way worse and he's proved so each and every day.
Most people are stupid. Canadians aren't smarter as individuals, y'all just have a culture that doesn't encourage people to be actively dumber than they truly are.
So you're saying we need to start working harder at being stupid?
Good gracious please don't! We don't need any competition!

So he won. The nation takes a deep breath. Raw ego and proud illiteracy have won out, and a severely learning-disabled man with a real character problem will be president. We are so exhausted from thinking about this election, millions of people will take up leaf-raking and garage cleaning with intense pleasure. We liberal elitists are wrecks. The Trumpers had a whale of a good time, waving their signs, jeering at the media, beating up protesters, chanting “Lock her up” — we elitists just stood and clapped. Nobody chanted “Stronger Together.” It just doesn’t chant.
The Trumpers never expected their guy to actually win the thing, and that’s their problem now. They wanted only to whoop and yell, boo at the H-word, wear profane T-shirts, maybe grab a crotch or two, jump in the RV with a couple of six-packs and go out and shoot some spotted owls. It was pleasure enough for them just to know that they were driving us wild with dismay — by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera-goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch. The Trumpers exulted in knowing we were tearing our hair out. They had our number, like a bratty kid who knows exactly how to make you grit your teeth and froth at the mouth.
Alas for the Trump voters, the disasters he will bring on this country will fall more heavily on them than anyone else. The uneducated white males who elected him are the vulnerable ones, and they will not like what happens next.
To all the patronizing B.S. we’ve read about Trump expressing the white working-class’s displacement and loss of the American Dream, I say, “Feh!” — go put your head under cold water. Resentment is no excuse for bald-faced stupidity. America is still the land where the waitress’s kids can grow up to become physicists and novelists and pediatricians, but it helps a lot if the waitress and her husband encourage good habits and the ambition to use your God-given talents and the kids aren’t plugged into electronics day and night. Whooping it up for the candidate of cruelty and ignorance does less than nothing for your kids.
We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids, and we Democrats can go for a long , brisk walk and smell the roses.
I like Republicans. I used to spend Sunday afternoons with a bunch of them, drinking Scotch and soda and trying to care about NFL football. It was fun. I tried to think like them. (Life is what you make it. People are people. When the going gets tough, tough noogies.) But I came back to liberal elitism.
Don’t be cruel. Elvis said it, and it’s true. We all experienced cruelty back in our playground days — boys who beat up on the timid, girls who made fun of the homely and naive — and most of us, to our shame, went along with it, afraid to defend the victims lest we become one of them. But by your 20s, you should be done with cruelty. Mr. Trump was the cruelest candidate since George Wallace. How he won on fear and bile is for political pathologists to study. The country is already tired of his noise, even his own voters. He is likely to become the most intensely disliked president since Herbert Hoover. His children will carry the burden of his name. He will never be happy in his own skin. But the damage he will do to our country — who knows? His supporters voted for change, and boy, are they going to get it.
Back to real life. I went up to my home town the other day and ran into my gym teacher, Stan Nelson, looking good at 96. He commanded a landing craft at Normandy on June 6, 1944, and never said a word about it back then, just made us do chin-ups whether we wanted to or not. I saw my biology teacher Lyle Bradley, a Marine pilot in the Korean War, still going bird-watching in his 90s. I was not a good student then, but I am studying both of them now. They have seen it all and are still optimistic. The past year of politics has taught us absolutely nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. The future is scary. Let the uneducated have their day. I am now going to pay more attention to teachers.
That was nothing but a severely judgmental, decisive and superior piece of garbage. Dems lost. But they're right, because they say so.
If you look beyond the character creation, which is his writing style done to make a point, he has some good things to say. And it is a fact that trump voters tend to be less educated and are going to feel the negative impacts from his policies the most.
Tearing half of the country down with the labels while raising yourselves up and hurting yourselves patting your backs wont solve any problems.
kinda like constantly tearing half the country down by insulting all democrats while raising yourself up by proclaiming yourself the all-knowing bernie bro intellectual?
I find it interesting that people here would rather point fingers and trash me for recognizing the overall problem. I never said I was better than anyone else so you can stop right there.
It is a known fact the problems will never get solved by pointing fingers. Recognizing the problems and going from there with solutions is the only way to do it. First we have to recognize that WE, JOINTLY, are the problem, and that is very difficult. Egos are precious.
that was my entire point. you blather on about pointing fingers when that's all you've been doing since Nov 9th.
Yep, it must be my fault for calling out everybody pointing fingers at everybody else. Because that's precisely what's been going on but it's all my fault. Gotcha.
no, you've been pointing fingers at all the hillary/dem supporters the entire time about needing to wake up and being the reason trump got elected, yadda yadda yadda. I haven't seen anyone else point any fingers but you.
You're just proving my point you know. In recognizing the problem I'm being blamed for pointing fingers. This is inevitable in that people will not recognize the overall problem and just continue to blame. Yes, I called out the Democrats, how dare I? They are still having a difficult time in recognizing that they are part of this problem.
Keep pointing the fingers at me Hugh, I guess that's all I'm doing. You're right, I'm wrong. And we keep going in circles, The Pj forums and the US. Until we ALL admit that we are all part of this problem, and I fully admit that we all are, egos and everything, we will go nowhere.
" I haven't seen anyone else point any fingers but you." You must've overlooked everyone. Because it's all everybody's been doing. Keep it up.

He's a writer, not an activist who solves problems. He makes observations and puts them to a kind of story. Here he's using his humor to convey the disbelief of his primary audience.

They are still having a difficult time in recognizing that they are part of this problem.
Keep pointing the fingers at me Hugh, I guess that's all I'm doing. You're right, I'm wrong. And we keep going in circles, The Pj forums and the US. Until we ALL admit that we are all part of this problem, and I fully admit that we all are, egos and everything, we will go nowhere.
" I haven't seen anyone else point any fingers but you." You must've overlooked everyone. Because it's all everybody's been doing. Keep it up.
we all know the problem. but you keep telling everyone how stupid/blind they are, no matter how many times they say it.
It's good to see people won't play because he is such an egotistical jerk, but all this seems to be hurtling towards him using excuses to explain his failure or lack of progress as president. If only he could see that his ability to insult and alienate the majority of the country is why he will fail.
Awaiting the next boastful tweet about his greatness.
Just like you won't hear democrats take any responsibility for propping up Hilliary and rigging the primaries, you won't hear the media accept responsibility for free non stop media coverage of trump.
I wonder if having the celebrity game show hosts as president instead of Hilliary, will draw ratings?
This is my favorite quote from democratic super delegate and democratic congressional leader and Trump Resistor from a year ago about the preposterous thought of free education.
Horses mouth!
“I think it’s the wrong message to send to any group. There’s not anything free in America. We all have to pay for something. Education is not free. Health care is not free. Food is not free. Water is not free. I think it’s very misleading to say to the American people, we’re going to give you something free.”
This is my favorite quote from democratic super delegate and democratic congressional leader and Trump Resistor from four years ago to the Cal Board of School Administrators.
“Today we must do what we can to see that all of our children…it doesn’t matter whether they’re Black or White, Latino or Asian American, or Native American, get the best possible education. Education is a right, it is a civil right. So stand up for it, fight for it, speak up for it, speak out for it.”
There is no inherent contradiction in these two quotes. Something can be seen as a basic right and also not be free. Canadians accept this with healthcare - we see it as a basic right that everyone has access to healthcare regardless of ability to pay, but that doesn't magically make health care costs go away. It simply means that they are paid by other means, such as taxpayers. Public school education is the same, and there is no particular reason why higher education couldn't be of that was what society decided.

Fucking cover band won't even play at Cheeto's inauguration
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You laugh but it is actually quite sad. These artists are all being vilified, getting death threats, etc. for just wanting to play a gig. Most of them are not even political. As somebody who was pro-bush AND pro-bushleaguer I find the constant attack on artists to be shameful. It happens on both sides and it is not a good thing.

How would you feel about bands who agreed to play at the swearing in of the new grandmaster of the KKK or something like that? No prob? Shameful to criticize them?

The only difference being that the KKK, by its very nature, is hatred with a very clear mission statement.
That being said... I can completely understand why no band wishes to participate in such an event. It's a poopoo platter being served and if given the choice... people don't have to eat from it.

There's nothing funny about death threats, but this fucking man-child is a complete disaster. Shame on anyone who voted for this piece of shit.

The representative from Georgia used the term civil "right" when referring to education. I guess we could argue basic right versus civil right but he he said specifically civil right, "education, it is a civil right".
Point: when in front of donors, education = civil right, when to oppose Bernie, education = commodity.

I agree it's not a good thing. The bands and artists are probably getting death threats from Trump nutters for backing out.
Why they would involve themselves in such a mess is beyond me.

Your KKK analogy is insane but I recognize that is where the state of the opposition is these days. That being said I have no problem with bands who don't want to participate...that is completely their right. What I am talking about is bands who want to participate but are having their lives torn apart for even considering it.

There’s no better way to undermine Trump than to take away his ratings.
