Somewhere between denial and anger. If you read this blog for sports it will be more sports by next week…..

–

You know if Donald Trump won popular vote & lost electoral college he’d say system was rigged for Hillary Clinton.

–

#Trump margins: Penn -fewer than 70,000. Mich -fewer than 11,000, WIsc fewer than 27.000. Hope everyone feels good about their protest vote.

=

–

Proud at least to be on side of electorate that said, UP FRONT, they would accept #electionresults & has followed through.

–

All you need to know about the man we just elected President: Martin Shkreli is celebrating. #TheMorningAfter

–

Think about it, a man who had two top aides be convinced of conspiracy etc in Bridgegate is now in line for a top job in the Justice Department.

–

So in outrage over Hillary Clinton’s Goldman Sachs speeches, we elected a man who said he will appoint Steven Mnuchin as Secretary of the Treasury. Mnuchin is CEO of private investment firm Dune Capital, and a 17 year-veteran of Goldman Sachs. Well played America. #sarcasm

–

Americans give @BarackObama 56% approval rating, then vote for a candidate who has promised to repeal most of what he has done. #WTF?

–

Lesson for children in America, saying “grab them by the p*ssy” will get you fired from television, but you can still be elected President.

–

Speaking of that wall, can California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada build one, & get red states to pay for it?

–

Angela Merkel: “Germany and America are connected by values of democracy, freedom, and respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political views I offer the next President of the United States close cooperation on the basis of these values.”
Can’t wait to see what insulting name Trump comes up with for Merkel now.

–

But yeah, who thought Germany would be lecturing America on tolerance?

–

Over and over am seeing some variation on Trump’s word’s being excused as “just the way men talk in private,” or “just hyperbole.” But the internal emails exposed by Wikileaks with people bitching about Hillary or talking about potential campaign ideas, THOSE were all the gospel truth.

Since it won’t be long before even racists in America miss the black guy – #Booker2020

–

From TC  “Once again, like Brexit, and our local  British Columbia provincial election, the polls are totally wrong. Where is “Paul the Octopus” when we really need him?”

Midnight in America. And right now most of the world is going, “Go home America, you’re drunk.” #Election2016

Donald Trump may have gotten chance to #draintheswamp. How long until he realizes he is up to his ass in alligators? #Electionnight

–

So now that we’ve elected man behind the curtain, what happens when people of Oz figure out to pay no attention to him? #Election2016

–

Next up for the anti-elites? Only using doctors and lawyers who flunked out of medical and law school? #ElectionNight

–

Hope all those Americans who decided to lodge a protest vote for a candidate with no chance of win are feeling good about the election.

–

So how is America going to build that wall when Canada offers higher wages and starts building it first?

–

Exit polls @CNN: Only 25% said vote was based on dislike of other options. And voters complain CANDIDATES aren’t honest?

—

Playing #RollingStones “You can’t always get what you want” at Trump rally. Song from the movie #BigChill that started with a suicide

–

Fortunately #California just legalized marijuana. We may need it. #ElectionNight.

–

Just might be that our  founding fathers made a big mistake in allowing white men to vote.

–

And really, now #Trump  won #Wisconsin? Waiting for studies to come out to say excessive cheese consumption rots your brain. #Election2016-

–

#GoldGloves  announced tonight. Smart of #MLB to pick a night when nothing else important is going on.

Some Sanders supporters tweeting Bernie would have done better in swing states. This is why #Democrats don’t win every election. #Election

–

61% of Americans told exit pollsters Trump was not qualified, more said he didn’t have temperament to be President. So much for US supremacy.

–

Is it too soon to draft #VanJones for President in 2020? @CNN #ElectionNight @VanJones68

–

Since polls show that college educated voters went for Hillary, time for the #GOP really to cut student financial aid.

–

–

Alex Rodriguez donated $2700 to @HillaryClinton. Who knew – #ARod a #HRC fan. Or maybe he can’t stand idea of Pres. w/ bigger ego than him.

–

Colin Kaepernick, who has talked about a choice between “the lesser of two evils” told reporters he hasn’t voted today and has no plans to do so. Sounds like the same great decision making skill the 49ers QB has been showing in tough situations in the pocket.

–

Apparently on Instagram, a fan asked Gisele Bundchen – “Gisele I heard you and Tom were backing Trump! Is that true??” Her answer: “NO!”
So is that a “NO!” for both of them? Or was she really saying “My husband cannot think and throw a football at the same time?”

–

So Kap decided not to vote. Leaving aside Clinton and Trump there are many propositions and local candidates on the ballot. Way to be a role model for those, especially young people, who want change. #WTF?

–

–

Interrupt this election for some bi-partisan good news: @BusterPosey @bcraw35 & @JoePanik all win #GoldGloves. #SFGiants

You better have voted, or be on your way to vote. Or else forfeit all bitching rights 🙂

Canadian readers, you are off the hook. And you done good last time. #JustinTrudeau

–

When I was a child, there were many who had the idea that a girl could grow up to be President. Harder to believe for the younger generation, when I was a child, many had the idea that growing up to be President was a GOOD thing, instead of “You’d have to be insane.”

–

Now that @HillaryClinton won #DixvilleNotch NH 4-2, waiting for @realDonaldTrump to say he’ll be building a wall & town will pay for it.

–

Americans are voting today.   Canadian consulates in U.S. wondering whether they should disconnect phones tomorrow for possible immigration questions

–

If Hillary wins we can move on to the really important stuff: Like what will Bill wear to inaugural & will his outfit go to the Smithsonian?

Hard to believe all polls will be closed & #Election2016 will be over in 24 hours. #ElectionCountdown for 2020 starts Wednesday

–

KellyAnne Conway, being questioned on Trump’s lack of charitable giving, responded that he is “somebody who has made such a tremendous sacrifice to run for president ― basically, a huge sacrifice ― didn’t need the money, didn’t need the fame, didn’t need the power, didn’t need the status. ”
And just think, since he announced, of all the grabbing Trump hasn’t been able to do….

–

Now @realDonaldTrump says #TomBrady & #BillBelichick have endorsed him. For those who needed any more reason to hate the #Patriots.

–

Donald Trump Monday mocked Jay Z and Beyonce’s performance of hip-hop music “The language is so bad and as they were singing — singing right? Was it talking or singing?”
Well, to be fair, there probably were at least a few African-American voters the Donald hadn’t offended yet.

–

So now that @realDonaldTrump’s aides have taken away control of his #Tiwtter account, what does the Donald do at 3am?

–

RIP Janet Reno. Some in the GOP can’t decide, should they attack Hillary now for any and all mistakes Reno made as Bill’s AG, or should they accuse the Clintons of having Janet killed because she knew too much?

–

A five-foot snake who somehow ended up in an overhead compartment on an AeroMexico flight to Mexico City got out and slithered down to some seats. No injuries. But it’s not enough that we have an election that has become a bad movie, now it’s airplane flights too?

–

Dallas Cowboys owner-GM Jerry Jones said “we don’t have any issues” over the latest domestic violence allegations involving star rookie Ezekiel Elliott.  “I’m shocked,” said nobody who remembers Dez Bryant and Greg Hardy.

Heard one of the SF 49ers this morning complaining that teams are now circling games against them on the calendar. Well, the team now has something in common with the Warriors, albeit for a different reason.

–

And if you didn’t already love Gregg Popovich, a little election diversion :http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/11/gregg-popovich-tim-duncan-spurs-love

This post got drafted two weeks ago and not posted.  So it’s out of order.  Blame Obama.

So the #WorldSeries winner in 2016 will be a team that hasn’t won in my lifetime. #Cubs #Indians

Clayton #Kershaw may be the “best pitcher in baseball.” But he’s no #Madbum.

–

This weekend we turn back the clocks 60 minutes. And next Tuesday #Trump #Pence try to turn the clock back 60 years. #ImWithHer

While they may not be a great team @Lakers without #KobeBryant are actually fun to watch again.

On Wednesday night, the Cubs’, David Ross became the oldest man ever to hit a home run in a World Series game 7. His reported words rounding the bases “You punks get off my plate.”

–

No 3:00am tweet from @realDonaldTrump today, in fact nothing between about 7p & 7a PST. Maybe election taking toll on his health. #stamina?

–

A new poll says that 40% of Millennials worry the election is rigged. And this is the generation that sexts and puts all of their personal lives online?

–

#RudyGiuliani laughed about #FBI leaks. “Darn right I heard about it.” Now denies it. Just found out being tipped would have been a crime?

–

#RememberWhenTrump, for most Americans was just a name on some casinos and a gaudy 5th Avenue Tower?

–

Harvard has cancelled the remainder of the 2016 men’s soccer season, over the discovery of “scouting reports,” dating from 2012, which ranked players on the women’s team on their looks and sex appeal with”the lewdest of terms.”
Okay, I get it, men can be pigs. But aren’t they being punished now not so much for their attitude and comments, but for being stupid enough to write this stuff down?

–

Fox News’s Bret Baier apologized today for saying Wednesday five foreign intelligence agencies had hacked Hillary’s email server, and that she faces a “likely” indictment over the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
Beier admitted the email alllegations came from a “single, anonymous source.” And that saying “likely” was a “mistake.”
Well, I’m sure all conservative websites will issue retractions immediately….

–

Chris Christie’s former aides were found guilty on all counts in their Bridgegate trial. Time for the FBI to announce there must be a connection to Hillary Clinton?

My friend Marc Ragovin  “Breaking news, Jim Comey has just announced the FBI is investigating allegations that HRC once drove across the GWB bridge.”

–

Just a thought for Hillary haters, many who don’t really love Trump either. Some insist Clinton’s health isn’t good enough to make it through a term, or that revelations over emails etc will mean she will be indicted and have to step down.
If they are right….then a vote for Hillary is a vote for Tim Kaine, who has the reputation of a reasonable man, especially compared to the Donald.. So what’s the problem?
