Nooo! Wrong direction!
Come on, keep digging that hole Trump, keep pissing against the wind! Come on, tangerine snatch grabber, I know you can do it! Give us some more of those dumbass comments and scandals!
- "[Mexicans] They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people."
- "It’s freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming!"
- "[Not paying federal income tax] That makes me smart."
- "[Hillary] Such a nasty woman"
- "I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her."
- "I have great respect for women. I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry."
- "I grab women by the pussy"
Keep going!

So I went to do early voting. They had a hard time finding my name on the list (my first and last names are very common, so there are lots of people in the county I share a name with). When the first poll worker gave up and called the supervisor. The supervisor asked me if I had registered outside the DMV. I told him I couldn't remember. He then told me that the people who set up stands outside the DMV to help people register or update their address are private groups. He went on to say that it is not uncommon for these groups to then discard the documents (instead of filing them) if the party you mark on your paperwork is not a party they like. Eventually he did manage to locate me in the computer and I got to vote. But I left depressed as I didn't think my opinion on the political system here could sink any lower; but it did.
Frightning.

More than Comey in the FBI seem to be supportive of Trump...

or at least have a dubious understanding of "politically neutral".
I thought it was the CIA's job to undermine the good reputation of the USA?!

Did they lock Trump's Twitter account, so he won't go full retard and screw things up at the last minute?
They don't trust their presidential candidate with a Twitter account, but they want to give him power over the nuclear launch codes?!?!
Nothing new to report?

Today should be the last day, not sure how long the sports books will remain open for bets. I'll try to post some updates.

Odds moving quickly today, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Unfortunately, those odds seem very misleading... :(
My hope for humanity, compassion, equality and our environment is dwindling fast.
Un-friggin-believable
So, the US is now a broke version of Saudi Arabia? A Christian theocracy with a selfish psychopath at the helm?
Look on the bright side. You now have absolute proof that there is no god.
Yeah, that's twice in a row the sport books have been wrong at 4 to 1 against. Shocking.
Did we just elect a demagogue?
I am completely stunned.
Keeping it in proportion: it is only Trump not Hitler. He's just an egotist and opportunist, not an ideologue. If President Obama couldn't get very much done domestically I trust Trump will be at least as restricted. It isn't as though he knows what he's talking about. The British and other European systems probably have fewer checks and balances and those may not be so robustly defended.
There seem to be investigations outstanding about Trump, such as allegations of sexual assault.

I think there are fraud and corruption allegations too. It seems possible he will be impeached and convicted of something.
There is a lot of anger against the establishment in the USA. There is anger about corruption in politics, about immigration and (ironically) about inequality. They have some problems they ascribe to simple racism (black lives matter) that are probably more complex than that.
So who leads the free world during the interregnum? Mr Trudeau seems intelligent but I suggest Mrs Merkel.
Last night I learned what it is like to be on death row looking at the gallows and the phone hoping for a call from the governor. And it just does not ring.
Minor mistake Marvin: Whoops!
