May 2016

In that time GDP has been a constant stream of invective about "Nevada being stolen" and breathless declarations of illegitimacy regarding Clinton's win. Non-stop. One poster declared his happiness at seeing Roberta Lange's life ruined, only regretting that we couldn't ruin someone else's life as well.

The number of conspiracy theories being floated here has drained all life from Creative Speculation -- seriously, it's just JeffersonsGhost talking to himself about Chinese satellites over there. Your fellows somehow cannot accept that the majority of voters in this process chose someone else, and it's maddening.

The Kabuki theater of bottomless rage would almost be amusing if it wasn't so viscerally hateful.

Reverse the situation and ask yourself if you would respond. I was here in '08 -- it wasn't like this.
