[Nokagi]

Still nervous but starting to feel just a bit more optimistic

 

[Slayven]

Ahahaha..

"First results are pouring in, 24% of the votes counted so far"

What is this?

 

[Version 3.0]

The Secretary of State using an private email server for US business is fucking ridiculous.

It doesn't matter if others in her post did it too. It doesn't matter if she didn't send any confidential information. It doesn't matter what party she belongs to. It doesn't matter if she is old and doesn't understand technology.

Using an email server as a head of state that isn't in a bunker is DC is mindbogglingly dumb. Anyone who knew she was doing this is equally dumb and equally guilty.

The silver lining here is that such a big deal was made out of it that hopefully no one ever does it again.

As a left-leaning person, former IT professional, and former NSA employee, I agree. When I first heard about it, it seemed so impossible that it would even be allowed, or that any government employee would be willing to set it up, that I thought it was a hoax.

Having said that, after I read the details of the investigation, I'm willing to move on. It was embarrassingly stupid, but I'm now willing to call "no harm, no foul". Hillary is on point with nearly every policy and position. And the GOP is such a cesspool of insanity and evil that there's no scale big enough to measure how lopsided a decision this is.

 

[commedieu]

Can I get an update on how the election is going? I'm getting nervous!

4 hours or so till we start getting numvers. Until then.. well.

Imagine yourself being smothered in honey.

 

[Meier]

Ha.

If you can imagine it, one of his sons (Eric) did THE SAME THING:

 

[Reckheim]

He has a 15-30% chance depending on the model.

Anyone else feel like that's way too high to feel comfortable?

 

[thecouncil]

Ha.

gotta make sure:

 

[Pomerlaw]

Is there a version of this with Hildawg's head on Stone Cold?

We need this

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Can I get an update on how the election is going? I'm getting nervous!

As of 4:20 PM ET, the results stand like thus:

Clinton: 0 Electoral Votes
Trump: 0 Electoral Votes

 

[Dr.Acula]

For what purpose.

So tempted to buy a brick then hurl it through his plywood sign...

 

[SymbiantXenos]

For what purpose.

They'll be Trump brand bricks. That will turn to dust on impact.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Guys I'm having a few people over for election results. What food should I get?

I think it's your civic duty to eat tacos tonight. I'll be doing my part.

 

[Korey]

If we win FL it's over by 9pm EST/6 PST.

 

[echoshifting]

Can I get an update on how the election is going? I'm getting nervous!

We tried to tell you already.

Nobody really knows anything yet but if you are #withher there are reasons to be optimistic. Relax and hang in there. A few hours to go before we get a clear picture.

 

[FO-totality]

Donald worried she might vote for Hillary (or write in Michelle Obama).

[SCENE: NYC polling location]
POLL WORKER: Name?
DONALD: I have the best name, the most luxurious name. Donald John Trump, I hear people saying it all the time.
PW: Address?
DONALD: 725 Fifth Avenue, and I gotta say is such a nice place, isn't it? The best.
PW: Sign here please. NEXT! Name?
MELANIA: [Reading of a scrap of paper] ...Michelle...O-Bama...
PW: ...address?
MELANIA: 1600... Pennsylvania Avenue
PW: ....
MELANIA: ...
PW: ...You're in the wrong state, Miss Obama.

As an IT professional working in Government, I also agree.

Imagine the shit storm if it was any regular person, for sure jail time.

 

[Laevateinn]

Everyone's still gonna be cautious because:

1. US let Bush win. Twice.
2. Brexit happened (as mentioned earlier)
3. House still belongs to Repubs into the foreseeable future.

Bush won because hispanics liked him.

 

[GravityInsanity]

This never gets old haha.

 

[BassForever]

As of 4:20 PM ET, the results stand like thus:

Clinton: 0 Electoral Votes
Trump: 0 Electoral Votes

So you're saying trump is tied for the lead?

 

[Plinko]

So tempted to buy a brick then hurl it through his plywood sign...

That's cardboard.

 

[Hari Seldon]

So by 8pm EST we will pretty much know how everything is going to go down as PA, Ohio, VA, and Florida should all be in by then right? Unless there is an upset in one of those Hilary wins?

 

[jelly]

If you can imagine it, one of his sons (Eric) did THE SAME THING:

That guy has no head, OMG!

Don't trust women son, just use them.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

CNN saying 44 mins until first exit polls will be released?

So those states who close at 6PM EST then?

 

[Sephzilla]

Everyone's still gonna be cautious because:

1. US let Bush win. Twice.
2. Brexit happened (as mentioned earlier)
3. House still belongs to Repubs into the foreseeable future.

I thought Bush was legitimately the better candidate when he was up for re-election

 

[Meier]

What is this?

A joke about the fake elections that took place in Turkey. Erdogan is essentially a dictator.

 

[TheFatOne]

Anyone else feel like that's way too high to feel comfortable?

So the only model that gives Trump more than an 11% chance is 538s model. Everyone is is either at 89% or above. Don't worry this shit is over.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Thanks for typing this for me

 

[melonrabbit]

1+ for Hillary.

Michigan don't let me down.

 

[sflufan]

No, you're the first one.

 

[Futureman]

This is absurd. Mayor of small GA town posted on FB that Republicans vote today and Democrats tomorrow. He deleted the post but was mad that you can't joke around anymore. WTF is wrong with this party? You are a mayor, not a uncle joking around with your nephew or some shit...

A mayor of a small Georgia town came under fire for a post on Facebook for election day.

Jefferson Riley, mayor of Mansfield, a town of 400 people, posted publicly on his personal Facebook page, "Remember the voting days: Republicans vote on Tuesday, 11/8 and Democrats vote on Wednesday, 11/9."

He later removed the post. "People take things so seriously," he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "You can't joke about anything anymore - especially on social media."

 

[commedieu]

As an IT professional working in Government, I also agree.

Imagine the shit storm if it was any regular person, for sure jail time.

The fbi is covering it up so she doesn't have to go to jail then?

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

In the NBA alone that's happened 3 times in the past two years though

*whoosh*

 

[everyday math]

Everyone's still gonna be cautious because:

1. US let Bush win. Twice.
2. Brexit happened (as mentioned earlier)
3. House still belongs to Repubs into the foreseeable future.

1. There were vetting factors for bush. I.E 9/11
2. This isn't a public referendum. We left 240 years ago . Also weren't the polls for that always really close? Clinton has maintained a comfortable lead.
3. This can change if dems can get senate. Proceed to get Supreme Court and outlaw garrymandering.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

In the NBA alone that's happened 3 times in the past two years though

It's more like the odds of Bartolo Colon getting a base hit.

 

[QuantumZebra]

gotta make sure:

God he looks straight out of American Psycho

 

[TheStruggler]

ok the son spoiling his ballot and taking a picture of it, being an offense is hilarious now that we have pictures of Trump and his other son glancing at other voters, the icing on the cake was the guy in the Balaclava selling bricks. at least 7 teachers I am with right now are cracking up at this, carny as fuck. Canada sends its regards.

 

[Chezzymann]

So the only model that gives Trump more than an 11% chance is 538s model. Everyone is is either at 89% or above. Don't worry this shit is over.

Senate is extremely important though. Hillary won't get anything done with a republican senate. maybe not even a single supreme Court justice

 

[TheFatOne]

So by 8pm EST we will pretty much know how everything is going to go down as PA, Ohio, VA, and Florida should all be in by then right? Unless there is an upset in one of those Hilary wins?

Not just one of those he needs seveal. For example VA is going to be blue. He would need PA, OH, and FL. That's why his chances are so narrow, and that's why he's been focusing on some blue states recently. NV and FL do not look good for him, and if FL is gone he's done.

Senate is extremely important though. Hillary won't get anything done with a republican senate. maybe not even a single supreme Court justice

True but as far as who the next president is going to be it's over.

 

[MUnited83]

Are betting sites still taking bets on the election?

 

[SuperSah]

So the only model that gives Trump more than an 11% chance is 538s model. Everyone is is either at 89% or above. Don't worry this shit is over.

So, Clinton has pretty much won then.

lol

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Comparisons to Brexit aren't entirely unfair. I do think after tonight's vote it's very likely that the United States will not be a part of the European Union.

 

[Moofers]

So tempted to buy a brick then hurl it through his plywood sign...

That looks like cardboard.

Also, its kind of funny. I bet its a gag.

 

[manakel]

Just got back from voting (and picking up alcohol because I'll definitely need it tonight) in Ohio. I was in and out within five minutes, and thankfully there was only one dude in the parking lot waving around a Trump sign and everyone just ignored him.

I've felt nervous/anxious all day. I know the chances of him actually winning this are slim, but stranger things have happened. I just want to know Florida is a lock!

 

[timepiece]

 

[Frustrated_me]

The fbi is covering it up so she doesn't have to go to jail then?

I don't care and don't have interest in getting involved in a discussion about a closed case.

She was found not guilty, end of.

I'm just voicing my opinion on what I think would happen if it was a regular person, as in not an elite politician. BTW this isn't targeted against her, it could be any other top tier politician.

 

[Amory]

Just voted in MA...safe for Hillary but voted in favor of marijuana legalization

I'm getting kinda nervous for some reason. I work with a lot of people from New Hampshire and they're almost all for the Donald

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Comparisons to Brexit aren't entirely unfair. I do think after tonight's vote it's very likely that the United States will not be a part of the European Union.

Disaster.

 

[FStop7]

I votered.

There was a rude lady who cut the entire line because she thought she was too VIP for all of this.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm grilling burgers the most american food ever

AMERICA

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

For what purpose.

Completely unrelated

He just hates American Eagle
