No way. My wife and I are having so much FUN.

This is FUN.

I don't know about the rest of you, but a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders and it is New Years Eve, Christmas, etc., all rolled up in one.

For the first time, we are watching mainstream news TV and it is hilarious. The protests are funny. The people crying is hysterical.

It's a drug right now, I'm having a great time

Has anyone started to see the articles where all of a sudden the nation's ills are Donald Trump's fault? You know, the guy who doesn't even start the job until 1/20/2017?

Suddenly Obamacare and trade are HIS problem? The media is starting to get stuck on stupid already!

The MSM is dead to us. DEAD.

I only watch or roll through their websites for intel on what they are thinking, but I place zero credibility on what they are pushing.

Because MSM is just a business, and a liberal business at that. They are part of the problem. A HUGE part of the problem and they are in denial if they think the game isn't up.

Shameless shills. Internet news and other outlets are where you can glean the truth.

Chicago mob brutally beats a Trump voter

The only thing I have watched is Fox Business.

I dont miss the rest.

When I woke from my hangover after 3 hours of sleep on Wednesday morning, turned on FBC and saw Maria Bartaromo...I took it as a omen.

I might watch if they beat him over the head while asking "Kenneth, what is the frequency!"

Thanks for the reminder. CNN has been deleted from my favorite channels list on my Comcast box. Never to return. Fuck those dishonest assholes.

Dan Rather had some fantastic colloquialisms and one liners. He. Alex it like a football game.

Obamacare defenders vow 'total war'

Shell-shocked Democrats on Capitol Hill are preparing to make a fight for Obamacare their top priority in the opening days of the Trump administration, with leading advocacy groups ready to wage “total war” to defend President Barack Obama’s universal health care program and his domestic policy legacy.

“Sen. Schumer and Senate Democrats are interested in ways to improve the Affordable Care Act. But we will fight tooth and nail against any attempt to repeal it,” a senior Senate Democratic aide told POLITICO

"It's pretty high on our agenda, as you know," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Wednesday. "I would be shocked if we didn't move forward and keep our commitment to the American people."

********************

Mitch, you have no idea how shocked you will be if you don't keep your commitment

Also struggling with the new reality are the many employees at the State Department, the Pentagon and other agencies that deal with foreign policy and national security.

At Foggy Bottom, people have been breaking down in tears since the election, a State Department official told POLITICO

Apparently, the speaker of the California Assembly and gun-owner hating de Leon have no big boy pants. They seem to know that change is-a-comin'.

Press Releases Joint Statement from California Legislative Leaders on Result of Presidential Election
November 09, 2016
SACRAMENTO –
California Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) and California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) released the following statement on the results of the President election:

Today, we woke up feeling like strangers in a foreign land, because yesterday Americans expressed their views on a pluralistic and democratic society that are clearly inconsistent with the values of the people of California.

We have never been more proud to be Californians. By a margin in the millions, Californians overwhelmingly rejected politics fueled by resentment, bigotry, and misogyny. The largest state of the union and the strongest driver of our nation’s economy has shown it has its surest conscience as well.

California is – and must always be – a refuge of justice and opportunity for people of all walks, talks, ages and aspirations – regardless of how you look, where you live, what language you speak, or who you love.

California has long set an example for other states to follow. And California will defend its people and our progress. We are not going to allow one election to reverse generations of progress at the height of our historic diversity, scientific advancement, economic output, and sense of global responsibility.

We will be reaching out to federal, state and local officials to evaluate how a Trump Presidency will potentially impact federal funding of ongoing state programs, job-creating investments reliant on foreign trade, and federal enforcement of laws affecting the rights of people living in our state. We will maximize the time during the presidential transition to defend our accomplishments using every tool at our disposal.

While Donald Trump may have won the presidency, he hasn’t changed our values. America is greater than any one man or party. We will not be dragged back into the past. We will lead the resistance to any effort that would shred our social fabric or our Constitution.

California was not a part of this nation when its history began, but we are clearly now the keeper of its future.

### Hoy despertamos sintiéndonos extranjeros en tierra extraña, porque ayer los estadounidenses expresaron sus opiniones sobre una sociedad pluralista y democrática que es claramente inconsistente con los valores de la gente de California. Nunca nos hemos sentido más orgullosos de ser Californianos. Por un margen de millones de votos, los californianos rechazaron abrumadoramente la política alimentada por el resentimiento, la intolerancia y la misoginia. El estado más grande de la unión y la locomotora de la economía de nuestra nación ha demostrado que también tiene su conciencia más tranquila. California es - y debe ser siempre - un refugio de justicia y oportunidades para las personas de todos los orígenes, lenguas, edades, y aspiraciones - independientemente de su apariencia, dónde vivan, qué idioma hablen, o a quiénes amen. California, por mucho tiempo, ha sido un ejemplo a seguir para otros estados. Y California defenderá a su gente y nuestro progreso. No vamos a permitir que una elección sea un revés para el progreso de generaciones en la cima de nuestra histórica diversidad, el avance científico, la generación económica y un sentido de responsabilidad global. Estaremos comunicándonos con los funcionarios federales, estatales y locales para evaluar cómo una Presidencia Trump podría afectar potencialmente los fondos de programas estatales en curso, las inversiones creadoras de empleos que dependen del comercio exterior y la aplicación de las leyes federales que afectan los derechos de las personas que viven en nuestro estado. Estaremos utilizando al máximo el tiempo durante la transición presidencial para defender nuestros logros, usando cada herramienta a nuestra disposición. Aunque Donald Trump haya ganado la presidencia, no ha cambiado nuestros valores. Estados Unidos es más grande que cualquier hombre o partido. No seremos arrastrados de vuelta al pasado. Lideraremos la resistencia a cualquier esfuerzo que destruya nuestro tejido social o nuestra Constitución. California no era una parte de esta nación cuando comenzó su historia, pero ahora somos claramente los encargados de mantener su futuro.

Translation: Make America Mexico Again. Yeesh. When federal immigration law enforcement hits California, it'll be something to see.

The smug arrogance is quite astounding.

Ironic. Pot calling the kettle. This idiot represents all that is wrong with CA. He's the poster child of idiots. The irony of him saying these things to Trump is too sophisticated for him to understand.

I think the Church Lady can set everyone straight...

I can't remember who posted this video but thank you very much, it is now become my new theme song.

There are still enough Republicans in California if they just get fired up enough to get off the couch and to the polls en masse. It has happened before in electoral history. But, people have to get mad or concerned enough.

One party monopoly renders statements such what those guys spew.

Legs- this thread has them.

It's great because it chronicles in real time what the membership was thinking and doing leading to Trump ascending to the Presidency.

It's really amazing what everyone has done here.

You left out:

b.) Performing a background check to buy ammo
c.) No longer being a felon just for owning magazines with 11+ rounds
