All of us in DC despise him too. He’s going to be surrounded by people who hate him any time he leaves the WH, unless he’s just going over to his hotel for a burnt steak.

I agree the Secret Service can’t be Ok with this plan and will do what they can do stop it -- but he’s (god help us) going to be the president. I think they only have so much authority to stop him.

Texas snuck this exact thing in, not as a law, but as a rule through the Texas Dept of Health and Human Services, so the Representatives don’t even get to vote on it.

Don’t forget that as governor of Indiana—THIS FUCKING YEAR—he signed a bill (thankfully thrown out by a human being of a judge) that would require women to hold funerals for fetuses not carried to term. HE’S A MONSTER!

We had a good, decent man as President for eight years and didn’t appreciate him.

Why would Pence bother seeing Hamilton? Does he not even know what it’s about?

Trump Pence have no plans of applying civility, they shouldn’t expect it.

Pay attention to him: he’s going to be the guy pulling the strings. Trump can’t hold his attention on anything, so of course all the real work is going to get done by Pence.

It’s a basic human decency vs. reprehensible assholery thing.

The disturbing thing is that all the idiot Trump supporters still think this is just about losing and a simple conservative vs liberal thing.

No, fuck you for pushing that “both cadidates are bad” nonsense. That’s why we’re in this situation.

NO. Sorry, but no. This is not Hillary Clintons fault. This is the fault of the people who voted for Donald Trump in spite of every monstrous thing he’s said and done for the past 50 years, and of anyone who didn’t take it seriously or thought it couldn’t happen. This is the fault of anyone who doesn’t know shit about…

I was feeling that way until an hour ago. Now I’m trying to prepare for the possibility people are going to be openly racist and drag us back to the 1950's. I’m terrified of all the rights we’re going to lose. My heart hurts.

I moved abroad 3 years ago....and it doesn’t make this any better. But yes - the USA really does have more than 50% of the people who think Trump is a good idea. Yes, there really is half a nation that thinks Obama is a Muslim witch doctor from Timbuktu. The dumbing-down of the United States is complete. I am so…

I was so not prepared for this. Not even remotely ready. You know where my head was at four hours ago? I was on cloud nine about going on alt-right Twitter and witnessing the meltdown with their conspiracy theories and blaming the Jews. Now this is real. I can’t stomach this shit.

And the UK is way, way less demographically diverse than is the US. The pockets of angry white dudes there make up a much larger share of the populace than they do here. No matter what, Trump can’t make any more of them to put him over the top.

It’s funny - you sound exactly like the BBC’s panel of experts, confidently quoting polls showing a 52-48 vote for Britain to stay in Europe right before the counting started!

These are a bunch of scared old white men who horde guns to protect themselves from blacks, Muslims and Mexicans. There won’t be a violent uprising because that means they’d have to go outside where there could be blacks, Muslims and Mexicans.

Easy. Your country is full of terrified, racist, sexist assholes.

I’m sure they’ll declare it over and over again on message boards far and wide. And then they won’t do anything in the real world.
