What viv size's recommended for a snake like Clinton? I have one the size of a mailbox, but the FBI keeps taking it away from me...

I didn't watch TV last night, but looked at various news sites for info, in the 1000-midnight time frame. The only source predicting a Trump win was New York Times. Every other source was continuing to predict a Clinton win. Why???
I know my gay friends are for the most part, very frightened. They say everyone who voted for Trump hates gays. Many female friends claim anyone voting for Trump hates women. We even hate Jesus, because he wasn't from this country.
It's not about that. It's about the system is so corrupt. Electing Hillary would have taken us further down the path set by Obama. Electing any other republican candidate would have been better, but still, I believe, republicans and democrats are two hands on the same body, controlled by some higher entity.
I think Trump is, for the moment, outside of the corruption. I pray that he doesn't get consumed, reined in, assimilated.

Deuce is watching!
Well stated Nanci!
There was some guy just said that Trump might do a Thomas Beckett and ' take' his new role incredibly seriously and surprise everyone to become a marvellous president ...

While Hillary was an awful choice (way to f***in' go DNC) I'm not particularly thrilled with this outcome either. I tend to lean towards the fiscally conservative side, though, and I'm curious to see what a Trump administration will do for the economy.
But then socially I am pretty liberal, so...

We can only hope. He does talk a good game, so let's hope he is an honorable man that will live up to his promises.
I SERIOUSLY cannot see how anyone in even their wildest dreams could have convinced themselves that things would have gotten better under HilLIARy's reign. Honestly the number of apparently deluded people who voted for her astonishes and saddens me. How could they have ignored all of the overwhelming evidence of absolute corruption that both Bill and HilLIARy Clinton are involved in? And they wanted more of the same? :face_palm_02:
But I don't believe that the war has not been won.
There are powerful forces that have been thwarted by this election, but they are certainly just not going to roll over and give up.
Likely going to be some interesting times ahead of us.
Even her speech today exasperated me ... she had the nerve to talk about values when she's one most corrupt people i e ever come across in nearly 60 years ..
I really hope she gets what she deserves and doesn't simply get away Scott-free .
" the values we all hold dear " - give me strength .

Also after the Wiki leaked emails showed Clintons getting numerous personal donations of over 9 million dollars from Saudi Arabia , Bahrain and Quatar that crazy women had the audacity to thank everyone for their donations even those who gave as little as 5 dollars !!!

Everyone I've talked to that says they voted Clinton seems to have done so begrudgingly and with mostly social issues in mind. Personally I scoffed at the whole "vote blue, no matter who" notion, and many of my friends and I threw our votes away to a third party in lieu of not voting at all. She would have been a mostly boring president, one many dems would probably have been eager to replace at the next chance. The people wanted change, and she wasn't about to bring it.

And no, I don't believe a presidency under her would be boring at all. With everything she has already gotten away with, being the POTUS would have enabled her and Bill to increase their fleecing of the people of the USA as well as foreign countries 100 fold. And they would have been blatant about it, knowing well that we couldn't do a darn thing about it. This was a very nasty bullet that we all dodged. Hopefully the Clinton era has come to what will be a very painful end for them.
Actually, thinking about it, I believe HilLIARy will look rather dashing in an orange jumpsuit.

I agree. All the voting of my youth was based on women's rights, freedom of choice, specifically. After I grew up, though, and was paying more in taxes than I'd grossed as a 20, 30 something, I became WAY more fiscally conservative. This is the path our country needs to follow. We are WAY too much in debt. We need to get out. Also, second amendment became very important to me, so my taste in supreme court justices changed.
But- I'm socially liberal, in terms of support for gay rights/marriage, etc. And the other thing I don't want to type on a computer at my place of employment.
But when it comes to the economy, we just have to fix that first, at the cost of everything else, even.
It's not that we didn't want a female president; we just didn't want Hillary. It's weak to try to pin that on people who didn't vote for her, just as it's weak to say people who voted for Trump hate women. I don't hate women, I am one.
Interesting to see all of the riots and protests going on right now because Trump won the election. I can't help but wonder, in retrospect, what would have happened had Obama lost either of his two election runs. I don't recall hearing about any riots or public protests from the people who voted for John McCain and Mitt Romney after those respective elections. Was that the case and I just missed it?
But I DO have a feeling that their might have even been demonstrations and riots had Trump lost. There were a LOT of rumors about the Democrats padding the ballot boxes with "mobile voters" and "magic votes", and people seemed to be working themselves up to a frenzy on both sides of the fence.
So perhaps riots and demonstrations are the "in" thing now when things just don't go your way. Thanks to all that showed us the way, for that.
oke:
But regardless of the job that Trump does while in office, I am doubtful he could possibly do a worse job that HilLIARy would have done for our country. I am actually optimistic that things might actually get better for a change.

I know that I am certainly hoping that will be so. The Republicans won't have anyone to point their fingers at to blame if they blow this opportunity.
But this certainly would not be the first time that someone got voted in on his campaign promises, then once in office become inflicted with selective amnesia. Yet for some reason people will still vote them in for a second term. :shrugs:

I think people are very afraid of a Trump presidency, especially with all the hateful rhetoric that has gone on this election cycle and all of the rioting is a product of a lot of fear and anger. I know that I myself feel very nervous about the future and know that many of my friends do as well. However, as a democrat myself, I do not condone the rioting. I hope that all the violence and hate from both parties will calm down sooner rather than later.

Kind of interesting how upbeat I feel since the election. Regardless of the rioting and protesting some people are doing. I guess a lot of those young folks took HilLIARy's promises to heart about free education and having their student loans forgiven and are now shattered to learn that they really will have to pay their own way. Tsk, tsk. Damn shame, isn't it children? Welcome to adulthood.
So as long as some whacko heavily influenced by the media's flame fanning from the wounded powers behind the Clintons doesn't kill Trump, I guess I'm expecting that this country will finally be making the turn around many of us have all been hoping for.
Of course, it's going to be an uphill battle for Trump, since he will have enemies deeply entrenched all throughout the government that will try their best to stymie any efforts he makes to try to fulfill his campaign promises.
But hopefully that draining of the swamp will begin ASAP and the leaches set out in the sunlight to dry up and die.
