Season finale of America

[topum]

So we are all ready here for the season finale which is the U.S. election night. Multiple screens are set up in our community house, which our American volunteers decorated with campaign posters (makes it look very Halloween-like), beer free flow has been arranged and we can't wait. I hope it will be a cliff hanger and will not end very early in the night by Trump losing both New Hampshire and North Carolina.

I did not follow the scandals in the last couple of days and decided not to go into the details of the spirit-cooked-in-semen thing (I have to say though that it is unfortunate that the first woman president's campaign has been so much about wiener and what comes out of it). I think Hillary will win (I also thought Brexit wouldn't happen), which will be good news but mostly because of Trump's loss.

Come on Americans, give us the new leader of the free world. And the first female leader of the free world. It is a bit ironic though that even in this great victory she will still be walking three (actually five) steps (actually elections) behind her man.

I did my vote...for the one that wont grab my pussy.

Yes dicks and pussies seem to be among the top issues of this election ).

I already apologized to my daughter on behalf of my generation....of course when I was a kid, I had a lot of questions to ask my dad about Bill Clinton and that blue dress.

This is what people call "love"...

I just want it to be over so I don't have to see the orangutan anymore on my TV.  Hopefully he goes away after he looses. 

A galaxy far far away. 

(Pretty sure Hilary has got this, or she better, even if I really don't agree with her politics, she is at this point the lesser of two evils by a small fraction). 

So glad I'm Canadian.  So very glad.

The best reality TV in the world however and by far.

[beautesauvage13.livejournal.com]

Yes and it certainly made for some rather good satire. Have to say Alec Baldwin ' s impression of Trump on Saturday night live was so good it was scary.  He really nailed it.  I've a new respect for him as an actor/comedian.

I sure hope for Hillary to pull this off. I'm tired of that bigot.

[topum.livejournal.com]

I am equally tired of her but yes, I think she will win.

And the first female leader of the free world.

um... not the first, and the free world doesn't consist of just one nation....

[topum.livejournal.com]

Ummm...yes, I do know that. But the U.S. president impacts much more than one nation.
Who was the first?

[rockingthemike.livejournal.com]

a quick google says it's sirivamo bandaranaike as a prime minister (sri lanka) and this was a bit surprising to me, isabelle peron for female president. naturally thatcher comes to mind for the uk, but the big three major commonwealth countries (canada, australia & new zealand) have all had female heads of government.

YIN AND YANG

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

I am so afraid of any final result that I just don’t care who’s going to win. And it hardly matters. The world has changed anyways; there won’t be a rollback to “Obama’s world”. And there’s no danger of catastrophic changes: the inertion and polycentral structure of the state machine won’t let them be too radical. What really interests me is: how will they manage alone, without each other? They make a perfect yin-yang couple, their shapes match like two pieces of a torn picture. It’s unfair and sad that they are parting. I would vote for the show to go on!

Re: YIN AND YANG

[topum.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Hillary will win I think and she is hardly a transformative leader.

I wouldn't be so sure. Depends on the turnout of her supporters. Protesting voters (for Trump) are more motivated. Could be like in Brexit voting: remainers lost because they stayed at home.

Oh, you are too cruel! :-)

[topum.livejournal.com]

We got to get something out of this election since we did not get much meaningful campaigning and are not getting a decent leader of the free world ).

[mallorys-camera.livejournal.com]

Yes, but residents of the U.S. have been tortured by the election circus for more than two years now, and you are adding 24 hours of torture solely for your own amusement! :-)

I bet you kill spiders. :-)

[erychan86.livejournal.com]

I am so scared! I can't wait to find out who won!

[topum.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is a big night.

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

...and it requires a good beer supply...

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

Don't be discouraged. Clinton’s failure is a good result for us. At least, she won’t come and grab our dicks. We can exhale with relief.

[topum.livejournal.com]

Well as I kept saying she is awful (so is Trump). I still expected her to win.
To those who are screaming that she is losing because she is a woman (sigh), yeah she is losing because she is a woman....who is terrible in every way. Democrats really have to finally ditch the Clintons now that they put Trump in the White House. I do see them trying to put Chelsea up for the next election though ).

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

Clintons were a disaster, true. But they are ancient history now. Brexit and Trump are opening a new era. I dislike it, but let's see how it unfolds and where it drives us.
