2016 US Presidential Election and Fallout

Re: The totally off-topic thread

Clinton will probably win the popular vote.

The Canadian Immigration website has just crashed.

In the lead up to the election many Americans were joking about immigrating to Canada should Trump win.
Celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Bryan Cranston, Chelsea Handler and Stephen King included.
Now it appears that they are starting to think about the move north more seriously.
In the 18 months leading up the election, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand have all extended an invitation to Americans to relocate if they aren’t happy with how the presidential race shakes out.

Reminds me of when I lived in London in the late eighties, talking to a person from Newcastle in the pub, he was whinging nonstop about the PM at the time. I asked who he voted for, he laughed and said that he didn't bother to vote as it was a waste of time!

The Supreme Court will become very conservative if DT wins with the potential to replace 4 judges in the next term.

The Clinton campaign made a big mistake keeping up the 'no change' approach, when clearly many millions were completely committed to change.

I understand why disenfranchised people might vote for Trump. But they have let loose a cannon where a pop gun would suffice.

I think he is plain nasty. His wife will make an 'interesting' first lady. I find her plain annoying.

Well I had read the WikiLeaks emails especially those from Podesta to media and polling groups urging them to include more democrat precincts in their polling so didn't believe them.Then when the FBI announced their new investigation I shorted the Dow and went long gold.Both looking good.
As for those who thought the FBI move was unprecented-in 1992 about a week out from the election they announced an inquiry into Caspar Weinberger-George H's Secretary of State.George H's surge came to an end and both Clintons applauded the move.What goes around comes around.

I am amused that so many [apparently] intelligent people think that the sky is falling.

Very good time for traders...

I dont necessarily think the sky is falling. Sometimes the perception of damage makes it a reality. But it will be intolerable to think we have to spend the next four years listening to the tirades of this person who will attract far more attention than previous presidents simply because he uses bully boy tactics to get what he wants. And yells, although Clinton did some screeching in her last weeks.

Unfortunately 'trading' in Super Fund shares is pretty much illegal.

Shes insipid, no real consequence, she can be replaced tomorrow with another barbie doll but him, oh boy. I cant say President Trump without cracking a sneer because its just so wrong.

But its pretty much done, now they (us all) have to live with it.

Personally I hope this creates a huge shakeup for next election because the voters were ****ed over on this one. They got the President and nation they deserve - I hope they learn from it.

Apparently the Canadian Immigration website has crashed. Wonder if they used the same IT as our census

She wont be replaced though, she has been around a long time and she thinks she can make speeches. I just find her tacky after the elegance of the current first lady.

Wot happened then? Oh, Denali, you reposted something that was posted earlier and made my brain fade.

In this 2 horse race he is the right choice.

The sad part is the puppet masters want turmoil. Uncertainty. Chaos. Why is that?

The 300 club is alive. Their will be done.

Sorry Lord.

Only if you can pick it, others acting irrationally make its hard to pick which way to go.

Your comment re Canadian website crashing was almost identical to a post about an hour ago and so I thought mods had removed all posts in between relating to the election.

The world will continue to turn but it's going to be as funny as heck watching him gaff up over the next four years.

Good God, can you imagine him meeting the queen as president and the hissy fits when he realizes hes not in charge of the play pen nor the puppet master.

No pruning here ... as long as it does not get too on topic ...
