+1, why does everybody think Trump needs to die or abdicate the presidency for Pence to be in control? Are they too young to remember or have simply forgotten about Dick Cheney? Pence will be %100 in control from day one and Trump will be the blow-hard figurehead that everyone makes fun of on late-night television.

Ok, it just seems like this is unprecedented given that they will continue to manage his enterprises (no blind trusts). They could easily influence who gets appointed or certain coveted positions, which may lead to favors in the future.

You know, we’ve elected outsiders ever since HW Bush. Clinton was an outsider, Bush Jr was an outsider, Obama was an outsider, and Trump would be an outsider.

In today’s humiliation, Trump has reportedly taken leadership of his White House transition team away from Christie and given it to Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

Correct. A law passed by Republicans who felt Democrats were too successful (just like the 22nd Amendment, a fit of pique post- FDR).

Yep, I saw them there too. One of the dresses looked pretty cute, and then I saw the label and was like nooooooooooooooope

Guess whose dresses I keep seeing at those discount outlet stores?

The president-elect told advisers he wanted to tap Mr. Pence’s Washington experience and contacts to help move the process along

I hope Jessica Simpson is happy her shoes aren’t the most embarrassing anymore!

I wouldn’t say Ivanka’s “trying” to be an asshole, I think she’s being extremely successful at it. I know a woman who thinks that Ivanka secretly disagrees with Trump but she feels forced to support him. HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah no this entire family is trash.

Guy went into my friends job yesterday and said “these niggers and wetbacks are finally going to get it”

It may not be just about that.

I crossed the border today to pick up a package I ordered prior to the election. the border guard tried making a joke about a “Canadian wall”. It took everything in my power not to lose it on him.

“Imagine if Winston Churchill was demeaned and smeared unfairly for decades. And then loses No. 10 to Nigel Farage’s more-racist more-dumb cousin.”

In some good news - from my vantage point, at least - Howard Dean has announced he wants to run the DNC, again. I’d be totally down for that unless someone considerably better comes along. The whole fifty state strategy wasn’t a bad idea.

Obama did not lose the popular vote. The last president elected who lost the popular vote was George W.

So I just read this thing in the Aussie papers (but it’s from the Washington Post):

As much as I want this to happen, it won’t. That would legit start a civil war.

As a woman of color, I’m scared shitless of the rise of white nationalism in this country and how it will embolden bullying and hate crimes.
