Well, the gavel's been banged, and Trumpenfuhrer is in.

[yeoman6987]

1. No surprise.

[yagotme]

3. No, but there was hope.

A meteorite could have fallen...

[yeoman6987]

10. Yeah. I guess. We've been strung along on hope. After the electoral college fiasco

I knew it was over and refused to get my hopes up. From June 15, 2015, I'd hope trump would fail. There was never trump, GOP leadership ignoring trump, the Utah guy, the 3rd party, the election, the electoral votes, the celebrities who fought trump 3 times, the many legal cases, and finally congress. After all that, I'm exhausted as is the country.

11. We'll just have to do what we can,

when we can, logically at local/state level. That's where true grassroots action takes place.

[yeoman6987]

13. That's true. The good news is we have a ton of room to gain seats during the next 4 years

[bdamomma]

2. oh god

they are good germans

[yagotme]

4. There were several objections,

but none of them had Senator's signature, so they were gaveled down.

[DesertRat]

5. Two more weeks

I'm going to savor every last day.

This is still America's First Family.

[Freedomofspeech]

9. Such beautiful, wonderful people...

And now we are being led into the Twilight Zone. May the Force help us.

[hamsterjill]

6. Breaks my heart.

Okay, so it's done. Now the only question is "how long".

We're all going to have to learn to take care of one another for the bumpy ride to come. We're all going to need to stand with one another when that is required. We are all going to have to become uncomfortably vocal, step out of our usual comfort zones, and make ourselves heard. Make it known that there is opposition and that there is dissent.

Not. My. President. Ever.

[Erasto]

7. Not Good

It's going to be a long four years. Best of luck to everyone.

[yagotme]

8. Yes.

Good luck, and take care.

[geek tragedy]

12. Hail Hydra. nt

[lancelyons]

14. The next 4 years will make Trump and the GOP look bad

The silver lining is that The next 4 years will make Trump and the GOP look bad and will usher in a new age of democrat control in the government only because their ideas are the worse and they cant govern very well.

[Liberalagogo]

15. So now the country

is totally without a President.

Don't care what anyone says, I won't acknowledge the RUMP with that title. Call it denial if you want, but he did not EARN the title, didn't even WIN it, much less legitimately. I will not legitimize this asswipe.

The US has NO President.

Russia just has a puppet.

16. OP violates LBN forum guidelines four ways. . . . nt

[DonViejo]
