#4 Nah, just understand that they never understood 'consent of the governed' mistaking it with 'only people who agree with me' and their concept of democracy is as in 'People's Democratic Republic' kind.

This simply is delaying the inevitable blood rending civil war as they demonstrate they'll never consider any other point of view. Their problem is they lack the means and ability to carry it out, once again failing to understand the environment and requirements and expecting to win simply by their own corrupted sense of 'virtue'. The historical record shows it's going to take a lot of blood to adjust such attitudes. As the old Sarge said, 'are you prepared to die on that hill?' A lot of people came out yesterday and said, yes. Now a rationale human perceiving as such would sit back and reevaluate if they want to die on that hill too, instead of going into hysterics and lower primate behaviors. So, the clock will continue to click down.

Funny you mention that - I was considering the paradox of liberals, who generally want big government, who flip out at a Republican victory when, if government was smaller and less obtrusive, it wouldn't matter much if at all.

When something comes up on a tax return, the first thing I ask myself is 'Did I make a mistake?' I'm pretty sure that's the last question they ask when something goes wrong.

#6 Enjoy it while it lasts. We'll still have to host the black flag, spit on our hands and start slitting throats at some point.

#7 One of my favorite H.L. Mencken quotes, Darth.

Another one - "Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."

#9 It is my experience that truly "Bad People" do not ask that question.

#10 "truly "Bad People" do not ask that question"

Truly bad people never even think of that question, #9 BU. They don't grasp that concept.

#11 Raj: You are not a bad person. Enjoy the "schadenfreude" as it can be cathartic.

#12 Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Trump's feet will have to be held over the fire too as will any other leaders in the future. One cannot sleep.
