It's a satisfactory feeling at the moment at least that there is hope that the new captain will take the helm and point the ship towards free and open navigational waters. Hopefully our new course experience only "fair winds and following seas".

I'm reserving judgment. We'll see what shape the world is in after 4years. Just looking and the stock market has already dropped in response to his victory. It'll be interesting to see what he does with all that power.

Wooo Hooo I'm just glad the Media did not win. They do not control the thinking of this country no matter how much they try. We can see through them. And we can see through Obama's ways. Making Comey put out that statement saying no further charges against Hillary the Sunday before the election. We all know they could not have gone through over half million emails. lie lie lie

Trump is questionable but he gives me hope. Hope for better trade deals. End NAFTA and TPP. End the wall street favoritism / breaks that Hillary had promised (guessing that is why stocks are going down) .... End the good ole boy systems. Good luck to the repubs that openly voted for Hillary instead of Trump.
One man taking on the Washington elite will be impossible ...I hope he finds some allies there. Changing Obama care, building a wall , strengthening the military ....none easy to do. I pray he can get er done.

The markets do that, to one extent or another, with every election. They also did it with the Brexit vote.

Sharp decline followed by a calm recovery is a fairly normal pattern.

This is a total loss for the media, they are all in decline and untrusted.

I am relieved that the witch didn't get in with all her cohorts. These elections just turn in a bunch of mud slinging instead of focusing on the real troubles this country has. Finally a step in the right direction. Trump better get his sh*t together.

Anyone but Hillary is all that I cared about. If Trump can do any of what he claimed he will do then I will be the first to give him credit. He has a steep up hill climb. This is just the beginning.

I stayed to the end. Trump gave a great speech, he was presidential, and gracious. PBS news talker Mark Shields could not stand it and said that Trump gave a speech he never thought he could make because of the campaign. The long faces in that room full of libs was priceless.

I just read a great article of the media meltdown last night.....

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016...edias-primal-scream-is-heard-round-world.html

We'' have to wait and see what obama does or tries to do in the 2 months he has left. I suspect he will try to ram through all kinds of crap.

I also think that the speech Trump gave last night was a very impressive speech and it showed the true Trump.

Trump triumphs -- Media's 'primal scream' is heard round the world

By Dan Gainor Published November 09, 2016

No, America, that wasn’t an earthquake. That was a media scream that registered 11 on the Richter scale as Republican Donald Trump defied media demands and went on to win the presidential election in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump to concede.

A nearly unanimous media failed to carry the unpopular Hillary across the finish line. Once again, America rejected the liberal Democrat. Advil set the tone early with a comment: “Politics giving you a #migraine? Advil® Migraine is the best candidate for pain relief.” CNN commentator David Axelrod called it a “primal scream.” ABC’s Terry Moran called it “a rejection of the neoliberal world order that has been the consensus around the world.” CNN commentator and former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones called the election a “White-lash against a changing country.”

When it appeared that Hillary would not concede, after campaign chairman John Podesta appeared before her supporters in Manhattan and told everyone to go home and get some rest, even some in media criticized her. USA Today Washington correspondent Paul Singer was typical: “Stunned that @HillaryClinton did not concede. If @realDonaldTrump pulled that, people would go bananas.”

The election was a national rejection of both the traditional media and the Hollywood elite who piled on money, endorsements, appearances and offensive videos telling people to vote. Celebrities went full-on insane. Actor Mark Ruffalo vowed to do a nude scene if Clinton won. Madonna said she would perform oral sex on Clinton voters. It was so overboard that it might well have caused voters to just say no to all of star media.

The night went from what CNN’s Wolf Blitzer called a “real nail-biter” to one his co-anchor Jake Tapper said is, "going to put the polling industry out of business.” Left-wing Fusion referred to a “Terrifying/exciting state-by-state #ElectionNight.” The New York Times prediction tracker went from overwhelmingly predicting a Clinton win to 94 percent for Trump as the clock neared 11 p.m. Even when Hillary won Virginia, the Times was sending out downbeat emails saying she “preserved a slim path to victory.”

Trump supporter and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee joked: “Wouldn't wanna be under that giant glass ceiling if Hillary is forced to concede. That party might end like Carrie's prom.” Fox News contributor and commentator Richard Grenell blasted the news media. “The media is for sure losing tonight no matter who pulls this off. How wrong they were.”

What media and pollsters had predicted would be an early night turned into a long contest. Around 8:40 p.m., liberals and media staff started to panic. Huffington Post Senior Political Reporter and Politics Managing Editor Amanda Terkel showed the tension. “Office debate right now: ‘Trump might win!’ ‘Trump ain't going to win.’”

By 9 pm ET it spread. CNN commentator Sally Kohn showed the typical liberal reaction. “IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Former CBS anchor Dan Rather summed it up. “Nearing cardiac arrest time for team Clinton.” Global Editorial Director, The Huffington Post’s Howard Fineman said what was on many lips: “This is starting -- starting -- to look like an American #Brexit.”

The media pointed fingers at FBI head James Comey. Pundit Michael Smerconish blamed him for the vote. “Changing my @TIME 2016 person of yr prediction (who most influenced news) to James Comey #ElectionNight.” Atlantic Senior Editor Adam Serwer put it succinctly: “Congrats to the New York FBI office.” He went further later: “Congratulations to Vladimir Putin, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

Atlantic Senior Editor David Frum found another villain – Russia. “We may be living through the most successful Russian intelligence operation since the Rosenbergs stole the A-bomb.”

Daily Beast columnist Jonathan Alter blamed it on masculinity. “Trump didn't win because of Comey. He won because he's a testosterone candidate and men weren't ready for a woman president.” He continued to hammer out hyperbole: “America has never faced such a crisis before. World War II was 4 years but US always fairly sure we would win. This will be a new menace.”

Journalists had earlier celebrated as Hillary broke the “the glass ceiling.” ABC gave up all pretense of neutrality and had former Clinton staffer and Clinton Foundation contributor George Stephanopoulos moderate election night coverage. Comedian Emo Phillips reflected Hollywood’s agenda in one short Tweet: “I don't get it. We had all the funny tweets.”

The New York Times showed that media bias remained an issue into election night, writing that, “an intense public distrust in the media is threatening the networks’ traditional role as election night scorekeeper.” In a think piece discussion about coverage of the race, the Times controversial media columnist Jim Rutenberg said Trump, “received coverage of a billionaire reality-television star who turned politics into performance art.”

He followed that up with one of the worst media bubble comments of the election: “The press needs to explore the frustration of those many Americans who think free trade’s gone too far; that immigration threatens the national fabric; and that insiders from Washington, Wall Street and the media have rigged the system against them.”

Election Day brought out the strange in the media, as well. CBS Evening News veteran Bob Schieffer wondered if the nation were “enduring some kind of curse.” He added in nice biblical metaphor: “What should we expect next – that it will rain frogs? I wouldn’t bet against it.”

Pollster Nate Silver crowed early because he had been criticized for giving Trump a better chance to win the World Series than Trump had of becoming president. The Cubs won. “This doesn't seem like an election in which one candidate had a 99% chance of winning tbh,” he Tweeted.

Washington Post quasi-conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin bashed the GOP in her election day screed, urging Republicans to help Clinton succeed. “Do I think all this is likely? No, but then we are among the thousands of center-right Americans who think the solution to the sclerotic GOP may very well be a new political party.”

Earlier in the day, The Washington Post described the ballot with a mountain full of understatement: “An acrimonious race reaches an endpoint.” Of course, the Post probably described WWII as an international disagreement.

The foreign press chimed in, too. German newspapers warned of a “Trumpocalypse” and called the GOP candidate a “Horror-Clown.” The Daily Mail described the vote as, “Clinton, Trump fight for soul of divided US before vote.”

Far left media grew more bizarre as the day went on. Huffington Post featured a story headlined: “I Voted With My Vagina And I’m Proud Of It.” Buzzfeed Senior editor Rachel W. Miller retweeted a Cosmo article on anal sex with this classic comment: “Pretty sure this experience is worse than any cringey butt sex, Cosmo, but ok.”

As the perfect conclusion to the night, Huffington Post decided to stop using the controversial tagline it had on Trump stories. “The Huffington Post’s editor's note calling Donald Trump as a ‘racist’ and ‘xenophobe’ is no more, a source in the newsroom tells POLITICO.”

Here's hoping Donald Trump comes through on most of his promises as our new POTUS.
Never thought I'd feel this way about the man, but YAY!!
Was an exciting race last night.

On a related note, Hiliary was supposed to have a press conference at 9:30 this morning.

Here it is 2 hours later and no sign of her.

She's now messed up all the traffic in her route as well as having everyone at the conference sit there for 2 hours waiting on her.

What a bitch. How friggin inconsiderate can she be? Proof positive that she doesn't care about the citizenry.

I am still recommending jail time. Just because she lost she's not off the hook! Maybe she can learn how to make some New York license plates.

A friend sent me this and thought it cute.

"Thank goodness Hillary was defeated, that's a win in my book.

I've never been a Trump fan, though, either.

It's like when your on a walk with your dog and he shits, and you need to pick it up with a bag on your hand and you're relieved it's solid and hard, not soupy and runny. That's kind of how I feel."

I'm so sick of liberals. I put up with obama's shit for 8 years and never wished him dead. These pukes are calling for his assassination. Fuck them.

Watching Fox news: Kaine just was crying at the podium now ol' gravel voice Hillary is squawking at it.
Don't worry I am sure that the stock market will stabilize. After all where will the movers and shakers put their money if not in stock?
They can't hide it under the mattress.

Now maybe the more right - wing people who have put their money in gold will cash it in and buy stock.

Good golly she is still droning on.
Hopefully for the last time.

I just read Trump's speech. He did things like thank the cops and the Secret Service - something they have not heard for 8 years.

And for some strange reason, this particular song and artist are in my head today..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_DKWlrA24k
I am that happy...........
