Our nation is being bomb dropped by insane voters. 💔🇺🇸😞

[in it]

Pretty much..

The us is going through its own mlc.

We traded in the dependable steady reliable prepared person for the flashy affair down.

Well we will manage.  We are all experienced in dealing with that.

I cannot speak for all the UK but this UK person is, as we say here, " gob-smacked!"

[lawprofessor]

I'm not surprised.  More disgusted.  And embarrassed.  And wondering which country we will blow up and bomb next just because Trump has a tantrum.

Can you imagine having a former porn star as first lady?

Ugh the night gets worse as I think about this.

Tonight I remembered my father always said--the only measure of a man in this country is how much money he has.

I can only hope that this is the catalyst for the rest of the world to do their mirror work (LBS style) and get clear headed and hopefully a little more spiritual.

Good luck America

As an American in Europe, I have the unique perspective of

1) all my colleagues, especially the ones from the UK, now gloating that they no longer have the distinction of being proven to be the dumbest bunch of rocks on the planet after the Brexit vote,
2) Watching FakeBook blow up with all the partisan nonsense,
3) wondering if my planned trip to visit my parents next summer with my kids will actually happen now (the kids have dual citizenship),
4) Knowing that it really doesn't matter whose butt is sitting in the Oval Office because it is Congress and the media (of which 95% is controlled/owned by 5 families - think about that) that set the Agenda,
5) Seeing a mutiparty system that really DOES work as opposed to the two-party system we have in place in the US...

I worked the polls in my state. Had no idea who won, until I woke up this morning. Not a good feeling waking up to such incredibly bad news. Then again, either way it went, wouldn't have been good news to me. I wrote in Bernie Sanders, even though he wasn't running any longer.

Had no idea there were so many Muslims and Latino people in my city! So glad they came out to vote, most likely soo offended from Trump comments. I stand with them!!! Clinton won my state. What a shock Trump won so many electoral votes. Will we ever change this archaic system (electoral college) to have the one w/ the most votes win? Didn't matter much, this time. Trump seemed to have won the poplar vote as well as the electoral vote

I can't even predict what a colossal mess the next four years will be, not looking forward to it either.

Just like the LBS in MLC all I can do, is focus on me and make my life better.

*On a side note...It was amazing to see the amount of people who never voted before exercise the right to vote! 1st time voters, democracy in action...made me smile

[in it]

I kind of feel the same way Elegance..either way it was hard to feel good about who to vote for.  The people wanted change.

And I think UM ( as I haven't been following the elections too closely) Congress is majority Republican also.
