Chyeah, exactly. This isn't a time to be glorifying China. How short our memories are.

I wonder if he will be on a leash with that POTUS Twitter account.

Trump is dangerous but the people around him are even more of a threat. If those departments can't curtail them from extremes we are in for a rough ride. Fascists are in control, we may end up with just money stealing heads but they have very dangerous views.

We won our goals in a liberal world
Living in times when I could stand it, babe
All over, baby's crying
It'll all be, baby, I can see out of here
All over the planet's dead
All over the planet, so let me out of here
All over the, all over the, all over the, all over the
We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence (quiet down)
And the mark and the yen, and yeah
We're gonna crack your little souls (why don't you quiet down?)

So when is the secret 30-day plan to defeat ISIS going to get executed? /s
Last I checked, the guy didn't even have all his national security positions sorted out.
It's not the end of the world naturally... but sincerely: stay safe, USAGAF. You're going to get tested from within and without.

I've been debating on going to an Inauguration party tonight (and by that, I mean I get together with a bunch of other expats here in Korea, we get drunk and wallow in the realization that there's absolutely nothing we can do to prevent this at this point).
Decided to go to my girlfriends instead, order chicken, and hopefully not watch any of the inauguration. I just feel so helpless and defeated. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Trump. I'm sick and tired of hearing about his god awful choices for cabinet positions. I'm sick and tired of hearing about how we're stronger together and how we'll overcome this. All the progress we've made as a country over the past 8 years and we're rewarded with republicans having the most power since the late 1920s. I'm an insanely optimistic person by nature, I don't think I've ever not been able to find a positive viewpoint for a situation, this might be the first. I just desperately want to feel the same hope I felt 8 years ago.
I'm just so sick and tired of it all. At this point, I wish I could find a Trump filter, completely cut out any information about him/the US government and check back in 6 months to see if he's as bad as we're expecting him to be.

Then rural whites wouldnt have anything to say and democrats would win every time
EC shouldnt be scrapped
I don't see a problem with that when republicans have shown multiple times to be a worst choice than democrats except if you're a) Rich b) White.

Sounds about right.
Welp, good luck to us all on this planet.
Says more about the Republicans as a party than anything. Yeah, if you're the fascist party in disguise in the country, you do not deserve to win.
Good. The alternative is regressing the rights of minorities and ensuring that the ultra rich white men remain in power while everyone below suffers greatly.
His failure is guaranteed.
The question is one of how big the wake of destruction he leaves behind will be.
Welcome, President Trump
Let's make America great and safe again!

FUCK TRUMP
And so the republican party will continue to grow more and more extreme without being punished because the Electoral College gives more weight to the rural white voters who support that.
If every vote being equal leads to the democrats winning, then that simply means there are more people in the country that support democrats. But no, democrats being more popular and having more support is 'unfair' to republicans, so we have to artificially pump up the importance of their voter base so that they have a chance too.
I mean, the republican party shouldn't be punished by the electorate for becoming more and more extreme, that would just be unfair!
The EC is bullshit and every vote should be equal.

Watched Obama 8 years ago and it was quite impressive.
Gonna watch Trump, because I need to witness the farce with my own eyes...

And Trump winning roughly 80,000 more votes across three states is how he won the election.

He won 30 states, she won 20. You know, all these stats are irrelevant now. Both knew the rules before the election.
Your rules are still shit.

God, I really, really hope that one of the people at the event is only here to make a fool of Donald.
Try as I might, I just can't picture Trump in Obama's position 4 (or fuck me, 8) years from now. Like when the time comes to pass the baton, I'm not so sure he will. "That election was rigged so I'm not accepting the results" or "Things are too critical right now, so I've got to stay on board" or a litany of other excuses. And I'm worried no one will be able to do anything about it.

I agree. Not a fan of EC.
Dude, Mike Pence will be the president by the next election. Don't worry about that.
As awful as Trump is, he really is just a puppet. A dumb, corrupt one. Everyone around him is actually worse.

I seem to recall (might not have been here), people rallying behind the EC process prior to Trump winning.
In the realm of - screw polls, he has such a narrow path to victory that it doesn't matter what the general feeling might be.

That's not how the electoral college works. Three more states and she would have gotten the needed electoral votes to secure the election.

stop complaining about the outcome of the election and concentrate on the things you can do to actually make a difference.

She should have campaigned elsewhere and pushed for 3 million, that way she might have been president.
Alas, she ignored the places that mattered and handed the white house to Trump. GG.

The people of the USA should all be watching. You deserve to be watching. Because if this indeed becomes an infamous day the world will look back to with nothing but a feeling of repulse I want you all to remember it and feel the shame. I know I'm most likely overreacting but I can't help but feel that you're committing something analogous to collective suicide and you're taking a good chunk of the world with you.
I just really, really, REALLY wish I'm wrong.

Yeah, but you can't exactly have one single state decide for entire country and California is where majority all her lead in popular vote came from.
I think it's okay to vent on inauguration day. We have 4 long years ahead.

I know I'm just saying that to counter the popular vote argument.
She may not have done as good a job as she could have, but it was ultimately the responsibilty of the 43% of eligible voters who stayed home.
America needs to take responsibility for itself. This whole nation is apathetic and self-absorbed.
In a way, we're getting what we had coming to us.

She campaigned heavily in Florida and PA
Can we just have this day to mourn, vent, and say goodbye to President Obama before the fascist takes power? Please.

Ah ok. I thought you meant that it was based off of how many states they won.

I can't see a logical reason why the Presidency should be decided on the whims of individual states. That's what state and local elections are for.
