I pretty much have gotten most of my news from FR for a few yearsThat and, shock of all shocks, the Daily Mail, is about all that's left. What is portrayed in the Slimes, compost, PMSCNNCBSNBC is what is surreal.

The words of the year are hack/leak....
And whomever came up with them, should be hacked until they leak.

And actually now that I am thinking of it, that year there was a very loud and obnoxious british chick toothless methhead that was calling herself “Sue-Real”

I guess the snowflakes didn’t realize it was high time to insult women(some), minorities(some), and muslims(nearly 70% of them). Compassion and a willingness to play fair does not mean that we are consigned to national suicide. Peak-leftism has begun to ebb and we can all tell the sick “victim” pleaders to grow up or STFU.

How strange; my reaction was yep... expected it. ‘Bout time. Then a quiet feeling of contentment like a cat or dog having its belly rubbed. :D

I used the word, ‘surreal’ here on FR on election day. It was, indeed, a surreal day!

We who were tracking real news, and carefully watching unfolding events, weren't "surprised" at all. In fact, I'd say that most conservatives were cautiously confident that Trump would pull it off - barring some massive fraud on the part of the Democrats. That's exactly what I was thinking. Trump's got this unless the shady corrupt left does something illegal. It was probably because so many eyes were on this election and the process that they didn't do a lot of the voter fraud they normally do.

It’s a shame. You had them all in one place.

Remember when the Trump campaign put out the call for election observers? Tens of thousands answered the call, and as a result, we had eyeballs on everything that moved, in every precinct in America.
Even the infamous Broward Country, Florida couldn't eke out a win for the Democrat this time around. Just too many people watching and reporting everything they saw.

Well, the word is definitely past its peak as a fad. I suppose you’d have to do some kind of monster canvas of the internet to prove it, but that’s my feeling.

Serially, I have enjoyed this election more than a human being should be allowed to enjoy an event. This whole thing is beyond surreal. It is dang near perfect. Yep - the only surreal episodes have been on the Left - they make Alice's world look sane compared to them.
