Bill Mitchell is an internet treasure. I have been watching him shitpost on twitter at levels that were unimaginable. But he did it day in and day out on very little sleep and he NEVER gave up hope.

George Soros turned on his own people when he ran out of options.

If Trump is for real he's going to put ol' George in a position where his options are severely limited.

Don't be surprised when the funding dries up for the far left radicals and mysteriously goes to the polar opposite side.

From a rational point of view this would enable him to garner sympathy for the left again.

Going to be an interesting couple of years.

. . .I crawled into bed and cried for reasons I still [can’t] quite put into words, falling asleep before the election was called.

In the morning, I woke up to a New York Times news alert and social media feeds filled with disappointment. The United States had democratically elected a man who, among so many other despicable qualities and policies, is accused of and boasts about committing sexual assault.

As a woman passionate about gender equality, women’s leadership, and ending sexual violence; as someone dedicated to the Clinton campaign and ready to make history; and, quite frankly, as a human being, I didn’t know how to process this.

I still don’t. I felt for my friends and anyone who feels that this result puts their safety and their loved ones’ safety at risk, acknowledging that I am not the person this outcome will affect the most.

I didn’t leave my room Wednesday morning. I sat and sobbed and I still have the tissues all over my floor to prove it. When I absolutely had to get up for class, I put on my “Dare to say the F-word: Feminism” t-shirt and my “A woman belongs in the House and the Senate” sweatshirt to make myself feel stronger. Still crying, I left my room.

Politics as a substitute religion rarely brings much happiness.

Some of the liberals are actually starting to make sense for once. I never thought I'd see the day where I agreed with Michael Moore.

And then Chris Matthews made a lot of sense:

If there was no voter fraud, Trump might have won the popular vote too. As it stands right now, it looks like Hillary won the popular vote by around 450,000 votes. It is estimated that approximately 5% of illegal aliens vote. So that is around 800,000 people. They vote democrat by a margin of about 4-1. So if 8000,000 illegal aliens voted, and they voted for Hillary by a margin of 4-1, that would net Hillary an extra 480,000 votes. Without those illegal votes, Trump may have won the popular vote. Here is a Washington Post article about this subject:
