I am embarrassed as well. I will say the options weren't great but sometimes you have to choose the lesser of the evils. Well they wanted change and they will get change but will it be the change they want. Who knows, the good news is The president does not dictate my happiness. We just have to respond with more compassion.

I am heartsick, ashamed and horrified. I keep hearing that the people want change.  They want Trump to burn down the status quo but the problem is that he is utterly unqualified to build it back up.
My girls and I have friends who are immigrants and part of the LGBTQ community, and they are all scared.  I have been telling them that they have to fight for them now more than ever.
And btw, I unashamedly like Hillary.  She is definitely flawed and has done some things I consider stupid but she has shown a lot of grace and composure.  She was well qualified and has advocated for children for years.  Really just shaking my head about what my country has embraced.

OK Nas, I just spit my tea...

Yep... The last words so often written on the tombstones of Darwin Award winners...

"Hold my drink and watch this!"

Maybe this one might work...

A "friend" will not "stand by you" no matter what you do. That is NOT a friend. That is an enabler. That is an accomplice.
A REAL friend will sit you down and tell you to your face to stop being a firetrucking idiot before you ruin your life and the lives of those around you.

There are two ways of spreading light:
Be the candle; or the mirror that reflects it

Don't ask why someone is still hurting you; ask why you keep letting them.What you allow continues.

At some point you have to get sick of going through the same sh!t.

Women are NOT rehabilitation centers for badly raised men. It is not your job to fix ,parent, raise or change him.
You want a partner not a project.

Being gay I am terrified at what will come in the next 4 years. I know Pence has a strong anti lgbtq agenda. I think we had finally started to make strides in equality and I can see that being reversed during his term. My S20 is gay as well and I just worry for his safety. That to me is scary when you have to worry about your families safety. SMH

Watching from Canada, kinda scared for the future of North America.

Pluralism, feminism, diversity, tolerance, truth, all of these seem so second nature (even in politics), one degree of latitude north of the border. You just can't get elected here without 'em. It's not like people change so drastically when you reach the border. But what flaming, raging monster of the id went and elected this man??

We've been joking here that Canada will build a wall; and we'll pay for it! Suddenly that's not so funny...

osb,

I've heard/read that joke from some of my Canadian colleagues today too... To keep the idiots out and the smart ones have already left... I just chuckled (seeing as I am in Germany... )

Here's another thing I have seen LOTS of today.....

No, it's not funny.  Maybe I'll move to Canada after the wall is built.   ;D
