Good post A-Square, and in your earlier post, you clearly weren't brought up right if you didn't learn to throw tantrums! LOL
I wasn't brung up right either! Shamu, Me no poet either, but saw it in a "This England" magazine and it resonated.

im not going to say there is a new world rising but this is worth the read and contemplation - i know there are other areas of the country with such enclaves of thinking --- Trump Train rides through ElySubmitted by admin on Sun, 11/13/2016 - 11:37 This week’s headline atop the front page - An election night for the ages - speaks volumes. |

I'm afraid not, I'm not a big poetry fan, my tastes are pretty much Ozimandias or limericks! |

i guess i was raised wrong , somewhere my folks and teachers and even friends forgot to tell me that when you loose you are supposed to throw a tantrum and behave poorly , i also failed to learn that if you believed in your candidate you were to break the law and destroy other peoples property to prove how valid your point was in spite of the fact other failed to agree with you ,
after all these years im just now seeing how poorly i was raised ,

Shamu,
I don't know if you know the poem, "The Rose of Arundel" It is an old poem, but by gum, (as they said back home), it has lots of very pertinent points in it!

I'm trying desperately to "take the moral high ground" now the election is over, but the volume, width & nastiness of many of the posts from those I thought my friends aren't making it easy.
Its a done deal, lets pick up the pieces, move forward & start fixing this mess. |

It gets better and better: The Libtards were screaming Hillary won the popular vote but as we near the final official count Trump is a head (again) by 500,000. Of course there may some more votes from deceased voters in Chicago that could change the final numbers.

The good news for our Canadian brethren is all the Libs that were rushing there have (as predicted) wussed out & are now saying they were only joking.
Buncha wimps, as Hoadie would say. |

I think this is going to be a very interesting time.
Trump is a hard person to like, but he has his buttons on and we can't say he's a failure. :-) Hilary and her mob would have been a disaster. Although I'm in Canada I feel like you just missed the noose down there! With Trump Not being a politician per se, this I believe will be very refreshing! He will come at things from a different and maybe unconventional angle, and he has a hard analytical nature that hopefully will in part sweep away some of then beurocratic crap that threatens to drown us all. (As in, if it is no use he will have no use for it.) I say "YES!" to this. As Roy said in that post on page 2, he doesn't like Democrats Or Republicans! :-) So the status quo might get shook up. I'm looking on with interest! More than that, I am looking forward to seeing what transpires with some excitement....new trading relations with a freshly "Brexited" UK and all. Very interesting times!!!

That would be "lose", and as a soon to be ex-California resident myself - I hope they do it. Just take New York and a couple of other Liberal he!! holes with you. Whenever someone brings up the subject of Trump's victory, I just smile and say "Ding Dong!" (as in "... the wicked witch is dead!"). No more Clinton/Bush. Nobody wanted JEB, and nobody that mattered wanted Hillary. Good riddance to them both! |

So, let me hypothesize a little.
The Granola State quits & becomes its own country. All the liberals move to whatever CA is now called. & we loose how? |

I think he "goes with his gut" a lot.
How well that will play when he does not have absolute control, which he has had with most of his projects, is going to get interesting. |

YES! There is a serious call for California to Secede from the Union. It really does not get better than this!

Oh he wanted to win alright. He's wanted that for a long time & has turned his coat what? 5 times, in an attempt to get it. Why? I don't really know but I have a guess. Power, he has more money than he can ever spend, so whats left for someone with his ego, power, political power. I've been saying all along I do not trust him. I knew Hillary Clinton was my enemy, she told me so & backed it up with action so I opposed her. He's an unpredictable unknown so I'm vary cautious as hes a wild card that may be for or against & time will tell. |
