I'm so glad this election is going to be over in less than 24 hours. Congrats to whichever side wins - I know it won't be my pick.

The election might be over, but the media will continue to hype anything and everything it can - that will NEVER end.

Hillary doesn't even get sworn in until January, if she lives that long.

Just waiting for the wife to get home, then we're going to vote. I'm having my first whiskey before we even go.

Too bad I have to be in a condition to go to work tomorrow; this would be the night to get drunk and then bang in tomorrow.

/bonk to the Secret Service agents now joining us...

I think it was more a shot at her health issues than a hope for her death.

Yeah, I figured, but I'm three beers into the election coverage, and my brain just went to the /bonk joke.

The mood in my house (and on my wife's Facebook feed) right now:

Yeah. I think Canada is going to have to build a wall...

*chuckle* No doubt. Several of my Canadian family members have already offered me their spare rooms.

Any Canadians want to sponsor us?

I had to drink a whiskey just to go to the pools, and I'm on my fifth beer - and I feel 100% sober for some reason.

I sort of feel like we've just dived into the Death Star garbage chute to get away from the stormtroopers.

Probably wise. Anyone that would flee this country over losing an election isn't someone you want.

Trump feels like the type of totalitarian demagogue that will have people fleeing america for their lives.

Regardless, I'm glad I'm not retiring any time in the next 4 years. I half expect stock market trading to be halted tomorrow with the worst crash since 1987.

Don't take him that seriously. If you're fleeing America for your life because Trump is a "totalitarian demagogue" it really hurts the "he's a buffoon" mentality. The likely outcome is that he's neutralized by his lack of understanding of D.C. and doesn't really do much of anything.

I agree that actually fleeing the country would be silly, but I do think we're in for some serious economic problems and there's a real possibility of a war somewhere that we wouldn't have otherwise had (e.g., NK).

You've got republicans in charge of congress, the senate, and the whitehouse.

America's rejoining the bronze age in the next few months. Only less enlightened.

Ah well, you've had a good run. At least Canada has good trade relations with China.

That's what's terrifying. In addition to a demagogue and a man who thinks you can electrocute gay people straight being the ones in charge of Supreme Court nominations, with zero checks or balances.

It could always be worse.

In other news, I'm visiting Canada for Christmas!

Yes it could. For instance, if Trump has a heart attack, Mike Pence becomes president, which would be much worse.

Mike Pence would be much better, your absurd views on him notwithstanding.

He's a young earth creationist who passed a law forcing people to pay for funerals for miscarried babies.

Anyone with that warped a view of reality has less qualifications than my parrot to run a country.

RCP has, at this time, called Pennsylvania, for Trump, putting him at 274.

I must say.. I have no words that quite express how I feel. Donald Trump is going to be my Commander in Chief. Midgen may understand what that means, the rest of you simply don't. I'm on 8 drinks and feeling surprisingly sober but I still don't think I can explain it.

On the other hand, I'm ecstatic at the looser.

My biggest regret is that Johnson probably won't hit 5% and therefore will not get the funding they need to shake things up in 2020. Still, I honestly did not expect this. I was fully expecting to watch Hillary Clinton win tonight.

No.

Those facts are entirely irrelevant to qualifications to run a country.

The fact that you think YEC is even relevant at this point disqualifies you from having an opinion on who should run a country. Religion is something that annoys you, and that's it. You weigh it far too strongly. Mike Pence is well-qualified to manage the national defense, which is what is truly the most important matter for a President. The little twat you think is so cool that's running your country is thankfully spared that since all your military needs to do is coordinate with ours.
