[QUOTE=Covalent;51340042]I can't wait until Hillary is locked up. To see her in handcuffs. It's gonna be fucking great. Congrats Trump, you've definitely earned it. Out all the reasons to dislike your policies, you still held a higher bar than someone who commits federal offenses, and lies to save her ass.[/QUOTE] Are you proposing we supersede the authority of the FBI and the justice system and place the ability to order indefinite detention in the hands of the POTUS, despite the absence of evidence? I thought you were against unchecked power?
[QUOTE=Swebonny;51340057]I got to admit I was pleasantly surprised by his victory speech. It set a tone that I hope he keeps throughout his presidency.[/QUOTE] I agree. I don't know if he used a teleprompter for once, or if it was rehearsed but either way I really hope Trump the president will be very different from Trump the candidate.
[QUOTE=Kidd;51340050]Is anyone actually surprised? I think it's terrible but I'm not actually surprised when you look at the country we live in.[/QUOTE] Sadly I'm not. Really the saddest takeaway from today isnt that trump got elected, its that the people of our country elected him.
Fuck.
[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;51340076]If you haven't noticed [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7iET0wm.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I take it the grey is the third parties and/or non-voters? Even if everyone voting third party jumped on Clintons side, she still would have lost. All she needed was Michigan, Wisconsin, and Florida and she had it made.

[QUOTE=jason3232;51340102]Hiliary has more votes than Trump, just not electoral ones[/QUOTE] Ah, that's quite fucked then. 2000 all over again.
[QUOTE=jason3232;51340102]Hiliary has more votes than Trump, just not electoral ones[/QUOTE] But I take it that it doesn't matter who has more votes it matters who wins in each region, and that counts as [1] point toward the 270 goal If it was counted by each vote, then the winner would be largely decided by the needs of more popular areas, instead of the less populated
[QUOTE=Loadingue;51339966]Jesus fucking Christ. To all Trump voters, I hope that he doesn't turn out as bad as everyone else feared, or that you come to deeply regret your decision.[/QUOTE] I'm not saying I'm against trump and I'm not 100% trump either, but I honestly don't think he will be [B]as bad[/B] as everyone feared. The media has constantly shat on him a lot, All in all he's not great by far but I doubt he will be as bad as he is made out, and Hillary isn't [B]great[/B] either.
Hello Facepunch, Sensationalist Headlines! I am a courier, with a message from former Facepunch user Pvt. Martin. It reads as follows: [QUOTE] "Tonight was a good night. Time to MAGA on 4chan. Goodnight Facepunch, and fuck you for surpressing us. Not you get to deal with our smugness for 4 years. -Pvt. Martin" "P.S. Fuck you Zilla, nobody cares, you gender confused twat"[/QUOTE] This is all he had to say. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Don't post for permabanned users" - Craptasket))[/highlight]
Well now we sit while this uneducated fuck drives us into a recession or something. Can't wait till every hick in America is regretting this .

Maybe that fact I am unsure about could change what I have written Could be a population split. I haven't worried about it much

[QUOTE=Swebonny;51340057]I got to admit I was pleasantly surprised by his victory speech. It set a tone that I hope he keeps throughout his presidency.[/QUOTE] maybe it's true and he played the clown because he knew it'd get him elected then again probably not

Yeah some things were rough and fucked under him, but our economy has managed to remain somewhat stable, there was attempts to fix our healthcare, lots of progress in terms of Social stuff like LGBT rights, etc. She was a scummy person, but as a president, we wouldn't have had to worry too much at all. Under Trump, there's a lot of concerns with how he'll manage the economy, immigration, and social aspects like LGBT rights. The one thing I didn't want him for was for his dumbass wall which he wants and expects Mexico to pay for, when in reality it will be us paying for that mess. I guess these 4 years will be interesting, and if not interesting, then really shitty.

[QUOTE=Mr.Brown;51340145][vid]https://vt.tumblr.com/tumblr_ogd3ciR7j31qdbp8a.mp4[/vid][/QUOTE] Can't believe she said all of this while keeping only what [I]barely[/I] resembles a straight face.
[QUOTE=MILKE;51339964]How? Didnt someone say he had like a 1% chance of winning? how[/QUOTE] Trump has a lot more appeal to the working class than Hillary did. The working class is the silent majority of America. That's the best answer I can think of
[QUOTE=Dr. Kyuros;51340153]Can't believe she said all of this while keeping only what [I]barely[/I] resembles a straight face.[/QUOTE] You could tell deep down she wanted to believe this was a nightmare too.

I honestly feel sorry for America picking between Trump and Hillary I don't think none of them are fit for being a president

Just woke up to this. I wish Trump the best of luck over the next 4 years, and hope he can accomplish some good. He's already elected, so should only work with him, not against. If Hillary won, I would say the same thing. Whether we like it or not, he's here for the next 4 years. We should make the best of it. I personally don't believe he will be a complete train wreck as some say, but only time will tell. The presidency changes people, and I'm curious to see how a non-politician performs in a political environment.

If I remember correctly UKIP had the 3rd most highest votes in the whole thing, yet only got one seat in the House of Commons. Shit would be so different if everything was determined by number of votes
