My state of NJ went to HRC, as expected, but my COUNTY and 8 other counties out of 21 went for Trump. While he did take the counties in South Jersey sometimes called "pretty much Alabama", he also took some of the wealthier counties, including my own--where Bruce Springsteen lives.

And I knew he would take my county but that Clinton would take the state, and so I securely followed my conscience and voted for neither of them, knowing that it wouldn't matter.

Nah, you've always thought like that, and that's why you guys lost.

I'm sure it won't make you any less smug, because that's what you guys do so well.

Some of you will NEVER get it.

I bet there're be lots of new reality TV shows. I hear CBS is showing a new series starting January 2nd called Who Wants To Be Secretary of State?

Some of the segments will be:

Name the Capital Contestants vying for ambassador have to come up with name of the capital of the country they've been assigned without using electronic devices!

Battling bimbos show off their "diplomatic skills" on the Puttin' out for Putin segment! Special guest star!!!!

I'm getting my supplies of popcorn out already!

This attitude is part of the reason why you guys a lot of people have already figured that out including a number of prominent analysts.

Go cry some more and maybe hit up one of those counseling sessions they're giving at one of the schools hahahaha.

Oh give it a break.

You have public homosexual celebrations in Chicago with gay men riding butt naked on bicycles. Gay parades with men in full drag and others in underwear and naked lesbian submissive women walked on leashes by their dominate lesbian women.

Gay parades in New York were they insult the Catholic Church.

The Sherman Park Neighborhood I grew up in had a mini-riot were the black (Democrat, Hillary, Obama supporting rioters) were attacking white people in their cars.

By the way... I remember mentioning online some years ago that it is quite possible for a young white woman to get attacked by a mob of young black girls. I had blacks as well as whites from all over the place responding to me perfectly indecently, living their snobbish, self righteous obese a... everywhere but Milwaukee let alone its Sherman Park neighborhood.

(If news never reported it nationally or internationally, I bet if I mentioned online that a black cop in the same neighborhood shot another black guy, a riot sparked, and later that same black cop was arrested for raping another man, and the man crying about it and holding on to a hospital employee like a frightened child, all those same self righteous liberal and conservative snobs would in full hate call me a liar.)

There has been little common decency in the United States in decades. And deep thought? Laughable.

Here is some deep thought for you: alcoholism, crack addiction, food addiction, homosexuality, pedophilia are all epigenetic. And the behaviors can be changed while the addiction itself may never leave. So, not putting a penis in your mouth is no more "impossible" than not putting a beer bottle, or crack pipe, or extra plate of food in your mouth. Period. Only the severe alcoholic, out of all of them, might die if he does not feed his addiction. The rest of them will have adverse physiological reactions due to addictive cravings but they won't die from massive seizures.

And that kind of "deep thought" and honesty is intolerable today.

Trump is blunt like a blue collar worker. Like me. Although, I have more tact in person and I hope I'm charitable. But neither Trump nor I speak like politicians. By which I mean to speak like a f------ snake and liar.






Now all of a sudden, one man in America has over night changes the entire culture. But liberals have argued forever that all the many men and women in Hollywood, music, and other celebrity roles don't adversely affect youth.

The upside is that at least it wasn't Cruz. Cruz surely would've sent us back to the 17th century with his evangelical extremism

That is okay, although I must tell you that liberals all remind me of that one kid in high school that had huge emotional issues but he still thought he was smarter than the rest of the school. Of course anytime someone proved him wrong he ran to the principal's office crying that he was being bullied. However I hope you guys keep it up, the rest of the democrat party is watching the liberal mess and realizing that they are out of control and they do not want to be associated with your group any longer. You guys and your condescending attitudes and attacks against anybody who you oppose will leave the Democrat party to the hard core liberals and ensure you do not win another national election any time soon.
