Well, the Witch has fallen, she's melting, melting. The race for the 45th President of the United States has been called in favor of Donald J. Trump. That doesn't mean it's cinched, but it looks like it.

Not only that, but Republicans have won a majority in the Senate and the House, so we're in for a bumpy ride.

In a particular show of grace, his acceptance speech was a milder form of Donald, and what many people expected. Less extreme positions, and a willingness to compromise. He didn't gloat, or insult Hilary, which shows he can be magnanimous in victory.

Whatever side you were on in the fight, it seems Trump's victory is now a fait accompli, and Hilary Clinton will hopefully (though probably not) be facing Jail Time.

At least Johnson won't be president.

"Wait a sec, didn't we already try deregulating wall street and didn't work out so hot?"
Johnson spasms: "Listen, um, the government can't do anything! What do you think Bill? ... BILL?"
Weld is crying. "Hmm? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Just reminiscing about Clinton's offer of treasury secr-"
Johnson: "THE POINT IS, when the government decides to give out handouts, then tomorrow it will blow up the moon. It's the same principle."

"Wait, what do handouts have to do with dere-"
Johnson catches the questioner off guard by abruptly pointing his palms out at him. Johnson slowly backs out of the room.

Anyway, hopefully Trump doesn't get jealous of Putin and sours relations again. That's all I have to say without being bleak.

Gotta say

I'm really, REALLY glad Killary lost but not necessarily happy that Trump won. He has yet to prove himself.

What is so telling is that it appears to be almost a landslide even against the certain amount of vote rigging that we know was going on. Killary was in a bubble. Totally out of touch with real people and what they want and need and think. What is so delicious is that she lost against Trump - not even a tried and true statesman; she lost to a clownish business impresario which says a LOT about how much she is hated. People were not so much voting FOR Trump as voting AGAINST Killary.

Gaddafi's revenge? I think a lot of people could not get the image out of their mind of her cackling "We came, we saw, he died" and what all that led to. Her attacks on Russia worked against her too. Lots of people in the US - possibly even a majority LIKE Putin and do NOT want any more war.

I hope that putting her in jail is one campaign promise Trump keeps. But how much you want to bet that NOW her people will start trotting out the "She's old and sick and dying..." routine; she was healthy enough to be president, but too sick to go to prison.

The only thing on my mind this morning is that U.S. airman statue in the middle of the DIA giving a (only slightly hidden) left-hand NAZI salute. I was astounded the first time I saw it.

them

My impression is that they decided Hillary Clinton was too old and sickly to perform the functions of president.

A few months ago I thought they were going to be trotting out the mighty 'first woman elected president of the US' theme.

But now of course there will be plenty of opportunity for various types of perception management as her crimes (and health) are heatedly discussed and debated.

Trump will be a part of it.

It will be a really big show.

Have a nice night.

And no I did not stay up all night. I went to bed here in the Midwest long ago.

I get up at this hour. This is the start of my day.

ned, out

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead (proper version)....[Link]

us

Well, as has been customary lately, our middle-aged Great Pyrenees and I were out for our early morning walk....

The stars were brilliant. (A moonless night/early morning.) In particular, the Big Dipper to the north and east, and Orion to the south and slightly west. The awesome Milky Way. Wonderful. I love those little lights in the sky. I love the sky....

It should be very quiet, at 4 am, that wonderful sky and just the sounds of my footsteps and those of the dog and a few distant wild animal sounds and the slightest sound of a very gentle, light breeze and it WAS quiet at this hour 30 years ago. But now the freeway is a constant 24/7 hum, the trucks are always rolling. Constant and I detest it....

Oh, well.....

And so back we go to the really big show, starring Trump and Hillary and whomever. It will be very important. The months ahead are crucial. The great global economy, the money economy, upon which all life on earth now depends, must be managed and presented in most careful way possible. It is very important, so important. The people must know and be prepared to make their heady and conscious decisions and exercise their full participatory rights, each and every day. Read the news. Be informed. Stay aware. Be responsible and grow with the 'territory'.

Yeah, right.

Left.

Right.

Have a grrrrrrrrrrrrreat day.

It might finally be OK to be American in America again! Who would have "thunk" it!?!

Phew! I had a feeling the pendulum would swing due to the threat of WW3, hopefully now averted, there is still a couple of months to sweat that out. I too am also hoping she sees the inside of a cell but won't hold my breath on that one, she needs to worry more about places like Qatar who will want their pound of flesh so to speak because we know the money they gave is spent and cannot be repaid via rubbing elbows now.

on the aversion of WWIII. Ms Clinton is the luckiest woman in the world altho she doesn't know it. She was supposed to be the patsy for the 'boots on the ground' Mr Obama was going to authorize before he left office. The build up of her misdeeds, the accusations of war mongering, all over now. She is the luckiest woman alive and she'll come to realized that she just missed the blame for the whole middle East catastrophe. The Bush blunderers had her set to take the fall.
Now who are they going to blame?
Unfortunately they will have to look further than the White House as men of Mr Trump's ilk can smell a set up a mile away. That old movie plot that never fails to surprise comes to mind; where the con man discovers he is being had by the supposed chump he set up to take the fall.
Politics is a dirty business. Me. I'm opening a Christmas club account for 2020 to treat my aged self to a vacation in Mr Trumps new hotel in Puerto Rico. Welcome 51st state, Puerto Rico!
