Mass legalizes pot too, along

Mass legalizes pot too, along with several new states for medical marijuana (ND, AR, FL, MT). Arizona failed. Maine's legalization vote is still too close, but "yes" leads by 3000 votes. Looks like a bicoastal movement.

I think a 69-year-old woman

I think a 69-year-old woman cried herself silly and looked like hell and felt like hell, and it's better to do on another day, even for her own grieving fans' sake. Just my guess. Giving them another reason to gloat? I'd prefer not.

Or as she noted daintily at one point, "sometimes a woman takes a little longer".

But when she does speak, I expect it to be note perfect. And if it's not, I'll understand.

I think it was because of health reasons. I will cut her that slack.

Yep, I don't even have to

Yep, I don't even have to threaten to leave the country - been there, done that.

Thanks for reminding that in

Thanks for reminding that in the face of even disaster, we can focus on the completely trivial. That *is* how such a consequential election got reduced to a bunch of largely unclassified emails that didn't even get hacked.

There is going to be some

In reply to No idea what's coming next

There is going to be some rebuilding. I am not sure if it will be in the Democrat Party, until there is some soul searching about how they should be serving the people more and less what the corporations want. NAFTA finally bit them in the butt. I think the era of Clintonism is done. The Democrats did a poor job of taking care of their labor base in the last few decades. They allowed the hollowing out of jobs in the fly over part of the county and then expected those people to keep on voting for them.

Trump won because uneducated

Trump won because uneducated morons didn't pay attention to the facts. Those who voted for him will be the most likely to be hurt by his policies. I voted for Hillary but I won't be hurt by a Trump presidency. Your posts show that that same level of "thinking" also exists on democratic side as well

Bullshit. If the tables were turned they'd have waited.

Weren't you paying attention?

In reply to Twenty minutes. I knew she

Weren't you paying attention? I was watching streams from three channels and they all said the same think. The Clinton campaign waited until the last moment and then they had to give up the hall. They couldn't wait 20 minutes. Do you think they should have just declared squatters rights? You're talking out of your ass and in an extremely insulting manner. If that's how you decide to play it you can expect to be insulted back.

Twenty minutes. I knew she

In reply to The crowd at the convention

Twenty minutes. I knew she lost, you knew she lost and she knew it. This wasn't 2004. She didn't scrap her concession speech because of a rental agreement.
