I wonder if Lord Sugar is sitting at home envisioning himself as Prime Minister in 2020.

"The trouble with having only decent, free thinking and progressive people on our facebook & social media, as I reckon I do, is that we can never imagine something like this coming. It doesn't seem possible or real. Scarily, there is a parallel world populated by bigots, xenophobes and whatever other problems constitute a Trump voter. Even more scarily, there are more of them than of us."
Proper full of himself, this one.
My friend helpfully liked a load of his Hollywood mates' statuses for me to lol at on my Facebook feed, and it's mostly people demanding that any closet Republicans unfriend them and part-time comedians bemoaning the 'uneducated' having the vote (followed by other part-time comedians telling them how important they are now). 'WE ARE THE RESISTANCE NOW', sez one lad who looks as though the only thing he normally resists is solid fatherly advice.

What was I saying about self-awareness?
A bit of perspective would come in handy. 11th September 2001 was a 'dark, dark day'. A political candidate you don't like being voted into office, that isn't. Life goes on.
A woman just rang into This Morning saying her mixed race seven year old is scared that President Trump is going to come and get him. Obviously his father won't be around, but are there aren't any other adults around who could tell him otherwise?
The secret communist lad in the lab just told me to "get practicing my American accent because foreigners are second class citizens now."
Why would I need to practice an accent? I'll just wear my brand new hat when it arrives.

The outcome of this election is seething with double standards. This has more to do with deeply engrained sexism than meets the eye (without even touching upon the blatant bigotry, racism, all of it). The 99% has elected the 1%. The irony of it all is maddening and sickening.
We have a lot more work to do. I'm not going to stop being a nasty woman.
Not even close to the best one but whatever.
There's one guy revelling in it on my Facebook, but not so much Trump winning as Obama having to go bbq his chicken on another porch, plus a load of stuff about sheeple and that Milo guy.
I don't even remember adding Harold on there.
"Woke up to see that my worst fears about this election have been realized. In total shock and disbelief. So disgusted and angry with our country. I honestly don't know what to say. I'm am truly scared about how this man is going to ruin our country and hurt so many citizens. What a horrible day in American history. Truly horrible."
"I'm with you. I can't stop crying."
:happycry:
Bernie Sanders videos getting spammed on reddit so I've watched a few.
Getting Trump when you could have had this guy lmao.

Nailed it.
If Trump decided to black up for his inauguration, would there be legal grounds to impeach him or would they have to suck it up?
This is still the best thing to come out of the entire campaign.

hello my white brethren & sistren,
there are gonna be hate crimes directed at POC today. a lot of white nationalist sentiment has been legitimized. it is a very scary day to be black/brown/Muslim. here's a guide on intevening in harassment subtly and safely - you could actually save a real human life!
A real human life, unlike those fake ones that doctors save.
It gets better. President Trump got two million less votes than Mitt Romney, but she lost almost seven million 2012 Democrat voters. How hated and shit do you have to be for that many people not to bother when the alternative is being rammed down their throats as the worst thing ever?
She probably burned a lot of bridges whilst trying to shake Bernie off. And none of that is a euphemism.
Its the realisation that there's a lot, and I mean a fucking lot, of repressed hate and anger worldwide, particularly amongst the lowest classes. Wonderful time to be alive, bring it all on lads.
What is that, eleven per cent of the vote? Seven million nominal supporters who couldn't be arsed to vote for her over Adolf Satan. In that context, you must be looking at the worst candidate and campaign ever (since June). Gary Johnson got almost three million more votes than in 2012 as well, so the regressive majority is looking good across the board.

What does puzzle me though is that is there anything that you can't say anymore that will keep people from voting for you? I thought there was no way Trump would win after being a cunt to so many different groups of people (I was obviously wrong).
Republicans won more than anything. American politics are always about convincing your side to bother showing up and Trump managed to alienate less Republicans than Hillary managed to alienate Democrats.
Where did you see that?Quote:

7. Renegotiate the Iran deal
8. Leave Social Security as is
9. His tax plan
10. ‘Bomb’ and/or ‘take the oil’ from ISIS
It really doesn't help the Democrats that so many of them demonize everything about Trump and label you racist if you even consider defending him on some issues. When you call an undecided person a racist for not condemning Trump guess what, that person ain't gonna join your side.Quote:
