Replying to myself and thinking out loud.

You have got to admire the man. He is up to his neck in law suits and 
what does he do?
He becomes the President of the Good Old USA.
Now that is chutzpah.

There's that guy in Turkey who sued a German comedian over a poem about
his whatever.

Funniest thing I've seen today:

UK:  "Hey, we can do something really stupid!  Look at us!"
US:  "Here, hold my beer....."

I would suggest the last left wing government in Europe: more sunny than Germany
but powerless against the international banks: Greece. I just spent a fortnight
at crete. No clouds but a lot of poverty as in the u.s. Neoliberalism is working
there as in the u.s. but for the moment the Greece took other conclusions.

Best regards,
Michael

Heh, Trump is about to learn that when he IS the government, he doesn't 
get to tell people they can't say stuff.  Little thing called the 1st 
amendment prevents that.

I suspect that if he tries to go after the first amendment, his party 
(which still doesn't like him very much - they have to look like they do, 
but they really don't) will turn on him.

2 years, and we can start clawing control back in the midterms.  
Hopefully this disaster will get people to stop making the deal "if I 
can't have everything I want, then I'll compromise and settle for getting 
nothing instead".

The Cubs won the World Series.  I said to myself, OMG, this is the first 
sign of the Apocalypse.

This is literally true.  I am neither superstitious nor particularly a 
sports fan, but this was, in fact, the first moment I began to feel fear 
for my country.  How idiotic is that?

It never occurred to me that anyone could bring out the White Trash vote 
to that extent.  (Indeed, many of them, being convicted felons, aren't 
allowed to vote.)

It never occurred to me that anyone who had expressed such hatred of 
Hispanics could ever carry Florida.

It never occurred to me that anyone who had expressed such contempt of 
working people could ever get their vote.

IIRC, I was five or six years old when I began to suspect that most 
people in the world were irremediably stupid.  And yet, and yet, it 
never occurred to me that they were remotely capable of taking over.

One may hope for miracles.  A sinkhole could open under Trump Tower and 
consume whatever vermin might be infesting it.  A giant meteor could 
strike the podium on Inauguration Day and rid the world of a number of 
cancers.  Or, or maybe, maybe, a Rift in the Space-Time Continuum could 
open up in my front yard and Lazarus Long and his Magic Starship could 
appear and carry me away to a place where people are intelligent and 
kind, and dogs are revered as brethren and the makers of our species, 
and stupid shit like this Does Not Happen.

Bah.  Humbug.  Time to stock up on canned food and ammo.

Oh dear! You have said it out loud, Ms Sherry "Too smart for her own 
good" Shaw. :)
Now it will come to pass.

The first sign of the apocalypse heralds the coming of what is agreed by 
most Christian scholars as an Antichrist whose purpose is to lead the 
world astray. Those tricked to follow the false prophecy are trapped in 
a cycle of suffering. The second sign is represented by the onset of war 
and violence...

The above is a quote btw. Not from "To serve Man". The famous 
intergalactic cook book by Damon Knight.

You don't know much about British history, then. ;)

You will need to travel a long way to find that place. I fear.

Luckily, the new administration will help you to buy as many guns as you

I think he will get most of what he and his supporters want, 
unfortunately. He has the Presidency, both houses of Congress, and soon 
SCOTUS behind him mostly.
