2016 US Presidential Election and Fallout

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

It can be difficult to judge when humour is being used with the written word. We don't have the usual facial expressions, body language or tone of voice to help.

The use of smilies and other emoticons go a long way to 'lightening' the tone of posts. *

*See what I did there!

Emoticons would ruin the satire, one of the great benefits of which is that some are far too serious to recognise it.

Is the outgoing president going to "trash" the public housing on the way out?

Bill Clinton did a few harmless pranks. Wonder what the Obamas are going to do this time.

I once moved into a rental when in University. Within 2 days the place stunk of rotten prawns. Called agent - no one could locate it. Eventually got so bad that agent called in professional cleaners - they found prawns stuck in the curtain rails.

This is just so sad and so wrong-

Inner west out of school care centre, The After School Klub confirmed they held a special art therapy lesson after students chanted “we hate Trump”.
The After School Klub supervisor Bek Ames said her students were visibly upset following the election on Thursday.
“When I came in the kids were upset and chanting ‘we hate Trump’ and these and kindergarten kids who are five and six years old,” she said.
“Some of the kids were saying we should kill Trump and Trump should kill himself.

And Hillary is winning the popular vote by 4 hundred thousand now.

As of Friday, he was losing the popular vote, with 60,248,555 votes, compared with 60,811,795 for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to CNN.

When candidates lose, they and their supporters complain, whinge and generally say pointless things. Given it is a democratic election and the decision cannot be overturned democratically, protests merely provide an outlet for their pent-up frustrations.

I'm calling bs on those quotes as Obama didn't lose the popular vote at all.
And why are all those twitter feeds between 3 and 22 minutes ago at the time of being quoted.
I think those false news sites you complained about are the real source of this.

And read the Washington Times article I quoted about the popular vote.Just because she is ahead now doesn't mean she would necessarily win if it were a popular vote election.Trump campaigned I think in only ~ 22 states.Didn't campaign at all in CA and NY the 2 largest states.No organisation there to bring out the vote.Unless you are telling me that campaigning doesn't change any votes.In that case Clinton squandered a real lot of money.

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

DT knew not to waste money going to Ca and NY, and prob Or too. Very little payback for his 'investment' in campaigning there. He'd never have won those states.

Very similar to a story in "A BIT OF HUMOR" except that the punchline there was that the person moved out, taking the curtain rails. Must be a very common / non-original thing to do in the LOTFAP.

Trump was basing this, on the vote count at the time?

You dispute he can't have made all those tweets in 18 minutes... You obviously don't know the poor character of this person.

This is the same person who took out of context a scene in Michael Moore's "Trumpland" and directed followers to buy the documentary on itunes despite it being anti-Trump.

UPDATE: Michael Moore has called out Donald Trump for sharing a “doctored” clip from Michael Moore in Trumpland that makes it sound like the Oscar-winning filmmaker is supporting the GOP presidential nominee.
“I can’t keep taking Trump’s voters $$. Folks, your leader has deceived u again: “Michael Moore In TrumpLand” is a funny love poem to Hillary,” Moore wrote on Twitter. He then retweeted Trump’s post on the video, adding, “Look at this Orwellian tweet by Trump! Donald, u either haven’t seen my movie or u are conning your followers. The clip u show u doctored.”

Donald Trump Goes On An Epic Rant On Twitter After Obama Wins | Business Insider

Trump’s rant is based on the assumption Obama will lose the popular vote — which was the case at the moment, but is not going to happen now. Take a look at his full tailspin below (he has since deleted about half of the tweets):

Donald Trump Freaks Out on Twitter After Obama Wins Election

Shortly after President Barack Obama was announced the winner of the 2012 election, Donald Trump had what some might call a melodramatic freak out on Twitter. He condemned America's democratic process, said the Electoral College should get out of town and called for a revolution.

Donald Trump loses it, calls for “revolution” - Salon.com

“We should have a revolution in this country.” That was the opinion of Donald Trump after President Obama won re-election last night. But Trump doesn’t want you to know that. The Donald, for once, possibly realized he’d gone too far and tried to pretend he didn’t say that — or call for “revolution” in a second tweet as well.

Well they all seem to be based on the Salon article a known anti conservative site.We have seen how they have invented things in this election including false twitter reports.
I did not say I didn't believe Trump couldn't have made those tweets in 18 minutes but they were all from 3-22 minutes ago.
And in all those links an actual time of the tweet is given.

Just sounds suss to me.

People did a screen shot before he could delete them all.

So you can only fault one out of 3 sites? Many more I could list.

Read it again I said the 3 links basically were all based on the 1 site so not 3 different sources.And if your other links are all exactly the same-which appear to be the case when I made a Google search it really doesn't make it any more likely to be true.
