And now some on topic humor.

I saw a version of that on Facebook, but instead of "Wow, man/my condolences," it said:
"Bitch, please."
(Alas, my laughter overcame my cognitive dissonance...)

I am on another message board that is dominated by leftists (real leftists). Some of them are openly suggesting, in a non-ironic way, physically assaulting conservatives. They really do talk about Republicans like they are orcs who need to be exterminated. The utter dehumanization of everyone on the "Other Side" would be funny (OMG, false equivalence! Everyone knows it's the right wing that's really violent!) if I didn't suspect some of them really might act on their rhetoric.
It's gonna be an ugly 4+ years.

Yeah, this year very few people thought Trump had a chance until late on election night. I was one of them. I went to bed before it was called, thinking that somehow Clinton would still win. That was at 2 in the morning. By 630 am, we had President Elect Trump.
I quickly checked the weather report for snow in hell, and looked out the window for flying pigs.
Next time, if Trump runs for a 2nd term, nobody will assume he's gonna lose.

Don, I did not see the proposed wager. What was it. But you do realize, in most places it is as illegal to gamble as it is to do pot?
Yes, that is indeed sarcasm, as I have no found a sarcasm icon yet.
Changing subjects only slightly. Standing Rock situation could devolve into a mini civil war. Mainstream media is mostly ignoring it, but it has the right balance of ingredients to be a catalyst for something much worse.

My offer to "take that bet" was in response to Vince's statement:

I would not take it myself. It totally depends on what happens in the next four years. If the concerns of the people who elected him are met, economy, not paying out money overseas for various reasons, when there are people in need. <Not isolationist, just realistic, there is no justifiable reason in many people's mind, including mine, as to why we maintain bases all over the world, especially Germany and Japan. WWII was over many decades ago. We should not and cannot afford to be the world's police.> Sure there are times we may need to "project force." but is should be done through congress, not some executive order of the president or other rationale.

Well, his economic plan is a disaster, and he's stocking the White House with neocons, so good luck with that, Mr. Trump.
