First, consolations to those who wanted the other side to win. It was a close run thing really. But you do know they lied to you don't you. The media and their bought & paid for pollsters. The shysters with the big money.

However, most of all I think this new president deserves a big round of applause. He's the guy who wouldn't give up. And isn't that what you want from a leader.
From the start they put him down. They said he'd never run, then they said he'd drop out, then they said there was no chance he'd get nominated and finally they said until five minutes ago that Clinton was a shoe in. 90% of the media tried to put him out of the game, so did the hedge funds & the rest of the big Wall St money, and even a lot of people in his OWN party tried time & time again to bring him down.

Well all those people you believed, they lied to you, but Sprint, Panther, myself and a few other guys told you the truth about what would happen because we saw what the people wanted. And you do want the people to decide these things, no?
So there is - and has been for a year - a new star in the political firmament. More like a black hole really. He sucked them in and chewed them all up one by one, saving the best for last.

So now. . .whose got egg on their faces?

First, Newsweek for their egotistical cover. Madam President indeed! We all know the only kind of Madam she is.

And what about the NY Times, the conscience of the people . . .they think! At the start of counting they had the Clinton woman at 80% chance of winning. By near the end they had her at 5%. How's that for reliable media!

Don't forget that doyen of fair play, NBC. As the votes came in they had to be dragged kicking & screaming to the keyboards to chalk them up. They were probably having a meeting to discuss whether they could change the results and get away with it.

But I don't want to end without some special attention for some of our friends here:

Dopey - that would be a toss up between Gandalf and Bojack, I'll go for Gandalf because he has a 1400 year handicap

Mr Funny  - that would be Greg, who gives us fun and who we hope does not leave the building.

Sleazy - well that would have to be North by North, who I will gladly show the the way to the exit

Grumpy - no doubt about that, Redneck for sure - he must be extra grumpy tonight.

Streetwise Girl - Marla, she won't be disappointed because they're all losers to her

PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP . . . .sounds just dandy don't it?

And now I'll go and explain to my grandson how it's a lie that President Trump will start WW3.

And remember, winners are grinners.  Tha-That's all folks.

Sore Loser #1

I didn't think he'd actually win.

I picked up some BHP puts yesterday and they did bloody well, wish I got more, but thanks Donald!!!

Do think it may come to be that while Donald who is overtly grotesque, says grotesque things every time he opens his mouth may actually be a better president that Hills who is in reality is just as bad but presents as a 'noice person'?

do we need to open another sub forum?

the Humble Pie section?

I've seen your other posts about the place. Sore loser stands.
But let me assure you, Trump is going to be the best middle of the road president since maybe Eisenhower. He won't be good for raving loonies and freak shows that surrounded the other camp, but he will be for middle America where most of the people want to be.

I did.   I read the American political forums and know how much Clinton is despised.
