This Lounge is rigged! - Part 191

[dude stannis]

The constitution allows you all to overthrow a tyrannical government right? Have at it in January kids.

 

[Reek]

Well... I am rightfully ****ed up now...

I love scotch... scotchy scotchy scotch down down it goesss

 

[Guts]

I'm sure some type of Christopher Walken Dead Zone thing could happen.

 

[Warhammer]

Throughout the day, I sat down and thought "y'know...even if Trump just sooo happened to win the presidency, it's a revolt from the people against the Establishment. It was a rebellion against the elite of the country. People want change and they will even resort to Trump to do it." That was me being positive despite all of the negativity of both candidates.

But seeing the numbers on my television that are indicating that he's about to win within the hour, I have this feeling of dread. It's like I am watching a horror film. I can't explain why. Maybe it's because for the past year and a half, we knew Hillary Clinton was going to win this thing. For the past few weeks, the polls indicated that Clinton was the highly likely to win and that Trump would need a miracle to win. And seeing the stock market plunge like it's doing right now (though I'm sure it's not the apocalypse like many others are saying), it's increasing my sense of dread.

All I know is that when Trump goes out there and does his speech, he needs to assure the 45% of the country that didn't vote for him, the Democrats, and the disgruntled Republicans that he isn't what both he and the media have portrayed him as. He has to assure anyone that didn't vote for him that he is not another Silvio Berlusconi.

Time to hide all nuclear missiles.
And still hide in bunkers.

I went to sleep around 6pm. I wake up to THIS!!!?

Jesus America!

We...

Just...

Went...

This...

Not...

Long...

Ago.

This is exactly what we went through with W. Personality and false equivalence LITERALLY TRUMPING the facts and a more experienced candidate.

Bernie bros., Libertarians... Thanks for being the new Naderites and delivering the country into the hands of fools.

Well... I am rightfully ****ed up now...

I love scotch... scotchy scotchy scotch down down it goesss

after putting another tire on the car today I need to curb my intake. I wanted to go get another quart but I'll wait.
Night folks. I'm beat, hope everyone's night is better than what we're hearing on the freakin idiot box.

 

[Warhammer]

See, the thing is I know that whenever people say Trump has control of the nuclear weapons, it's all really hogwash and joking. Trump can't just decide he wants to nuke a country or just declare war on a whim. I know this logically. With that said, I still feel this sense of dread at Trump becoming the commander-in-chief. I can't explain it.

 

[Reek]

Trump is far worse than W.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Comes times like this when I think you can be lucky enough to get one that is all bark and no bite.
You can afford being mildly hopeful about it, right?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Trump is far worse than W.

Yes. But you would have thought that the crapshow that was the 8 years of Bush/Cheney would have taught us something.

 

[Reek]

Yes. But you would have thought that the crapshow that was the 8 years of Bush/Cheney would have taught us something.

It's because it's Hillary... People simply don't like her... Put Biden or Michelle in her place and this is a landslide victory.

 

[flickchick85]

I've never been more embarrassed and ashamed of being an American than I am right at this moment. I just can't believe this.

 

[Reek]

its going to be an interesting 4 years, that's for sure.

Seriously.

There's no loving that woman. I know that. But that's besides the point for me. Again it's seeming like an OBVIOUS fool and his coterie are being rewarded with power because a slice of this electorate is living in a separate reality from what is and vote on emotion. Low information voters that don't believe what actually is happening in the country.

Inner cities are not a warzone. Large scale manufacturing jobs aren't coming back. Illegal immigration into the country is down and on and on...

I thought we had just learned something important about this.

Come gather around people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
And if your breath to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no telling who that it's naming
For the loser now will be later to win
Cause the times they are a-changing

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's the battle outside raging
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
Cause the times they are a-changing

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slowest now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now will later be last
Cause the times they are a-changing
