One of the funniest parts of watching the 2016 election night coverage was to see liberal propaganda parade Huffington Post lose it along with their rejected, loser candidate Hillary.

For a long time, HuffPo's live coverage of the tally referred to election night as "fright night," after it began to look like Trump would take Florida. Then once he won, HuffPo switched it to "NIGHTMARE: PRESIDENT TRUMP" in red caps.

After accepting reality enough to pen an article, they came out with, "America Has Done What Seemed Unthinkable. Donald Trump Is The Next President."

It's filled with all kinds of dramatic scaremongering and starts with this:

Myths, facts, and opportunism: Islam in Thailand

Muslims have lived in and around Thailand - and before that, Siam - for centuries. They have contributed significantly to Thailand's long history as a nation, from Malay Muslims moving up into central and even northern Thailand over the centuries, bringing their unique form of Islam with them, to Persian Muslims arriving in the 17th century and integrating themselves into business and ruling circles through trade and marriage.

Today, Muslims comprise as much as 12% of the Thai population and have become part of the sociocultural and economic fabric of the nation. Their restaurants, businesses, and mosques are scattered across the country side-by-side Buddhist and secular businesses and institutions. Tolerance and mutual respect are hallmarks of this coexistence between people who identify themselves first as Thais, and second as members of their respective faiths.

The election of Donald Trump to the presidency sparked protests early Wednesday across California, drawing crowds to city streets and college campuses.

The demonstrations reflected sadness, anger and bursts of rage. Crowds openly disavowed the president-elect and a few resorted to vandalism.

Shortly after Trump delivered a victory speech in New York, up to 1,500 people gathered at UCLA. The demonstration peaked about 1 a.m., when a Trump piñata was set on fire in a trash can outside a Westwood Boulevard store.

The small blaze aside, no major incidents were reported and police said the crowd was peaceful.

National Assembly President Henry Ramos Allup (L), MUD Secretary General Jesus Torrealba (C), and MUD parliamentary majority leader Julio Borges (R) at a press conference.

Over 60 percent of Venezuelans view the country's right-wing political opposition as deeply divided and lacking a program to tackle the nation's economic difficulties, reports a new poll.

According to a new survey released by the private polling firm Hinterlaces, 66 percent of the population agrees that the right-wing opposition coalition, the MUD, "only talks about removing [President] Maduro from power yet presents no plan to solve the country's economic problems".

The poll also found that 65 percent of Venezuelans view the political opposition as "very divided", while 64 percent agree that anti-government forces lack "a strong leader that represents them".

US states, including Florida and California, vote to legalize marijuana

California has voted to sanction cannabis for recreational use, and Florida has approved the use of the drug to alleviate symptoms of illness, as a raft of US states endorsed loosening their marijuana legislation through ballot initiatives.

Needing at least 60 percent approval to pass, Amendment 2 received 71 percent of the votes from Floridians.

"This is a major tipping point," said Tom Angell, from the pro-legalization group Marijuana Majority. "With Florida's decision, a majority of states in the U.S. now have laws allowing patients to find relief with medical marijuana, and these protections and programs are no longer concentrated in certain regions of the country like the West and Northeast."

Lady Gaga addresses supporters gathered in support of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The pop star spoke out to give the Democrat a boost, but her outfit raised some eyebrows

Pop icon Lady Gaga has been slammed for her bizarre outfit while speaking at a Hillary Clinton rally, as social media users likened it to a Nazi uniform.

The singer addressed supporters of the Democratic presidential candidate in North Carolina ahead of today's election, urging them to get out and vote while also calling for reconciliation between Clinton's and Donald Trump's supporters.

Speaking of her admiration for Clinton, the 30-year-old told the crowd: "No matter how absurd and mean [Trump] became, she smiled bravely and she continued on." She added that Hillary Clinton is "made of steel" and said: "If we are true, true Americans, then we must go from viewing his followers as our adversaries to viewing them as our allies."

While her outfit was likened to that of a Nazi uniform, it was actually a tribute to Michael Jackson. Dressed in a tight black pantsuit, the star then began dancing to her song "Come to Mama". But the artist's choice of outfit raised more than a few eyebrows on social media, with one user saying she looked like a "futuristic Nazi".

Nevada judge rejects Trump's request to isolate ballots from early voting time dispute

Voters cast ballots in polling station located in a farm shed during the U.S. presidential election near Nevada, Iowa, U.S., November 8, 2016.

Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit in Nevada state court alleging at least four Las Vegas area polling places stayed open "two hours beyond the designated time" during early voting. A judge has denied the request to isolate ballots from those locations.

The campaign for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sued Joe P. Gloria, the registrar of voters in Clark County, Nevada, claiming election officials violated state law in allowing people to join an early-voting line after 8pm. The primary polling location in question was east of downtown Las Vegas, at Cardenas Market, the Las Vegas Sun reported.

Clark County includes Las Vegas and the city's suburbs. While Nevada is considered a swing state, Las Vegas is a Democratic Party stronghold and has sizable minority-voting precincts.

"This is a lawsuit about the rules of the game," said David Bossie, Trump's deputy campaign manager, according to Reuters. Trump's lawyers asked that relevant early voting ballots be kept separate from other ballots, but a Nevada state judge denied that request on Tuesday.
