This is too sweet to savor alone. Take a gander over to the answers on the crashed homepage of DU.
Wow. And some of these are adult aged...
My mistake on the title. I appreciate your correction. And thanks for your contribution to the forum. You sir, are a patriot!
D@MN... can’t you feel the love?
Exhaled completely for the first time in four years.
Slept soundly last night for the first time in a year.
The “pause” button on my life is released.
Yes, with all the burning and rioting.
“I’m hearing Trump has now also won the popular vote now that AZ and Michigan have been counted!”
NO SH!T ?!? So now they have to take THAT Hillary-won-the-popular-vote line out of their spiels. Good. Note to Juan Williams and Julie Roginsky: ESAD.
“There should be a whole wing at Leavenworth set aside for the Obama/Clinton regimes.”
I think they should be tried, and then sentenced to live the remaining years of their lives on garbage skows sailing from one dump site to another. Or executed. OK... executed.
I would add that tomorrow will have its own challenges. We can be happy for a few hours more.
Donald Fagen wrote this song as a parody/satire. But it popped into my head this afternoon while I was out bagging leaves; with a feeling of optimism and idealism in my soul for the first time in a long time.

The Election Is Over — Now, Trump Must Govern
When Trump tries to keep his campaign promises, some of his supporters are likely to be disappointed.

Dear Reader (including the many of you who are apparently disappointed I didn’t spontaneously combust on election night),
Last week I wrote, “Long ago, I made peace with the fact that this election will yield one form of ass ache or another.”
So, I fully expected to wake up the day after the election depressed and walking like the proctologist refused to take off the catcher’s mitt. Instead, to my gleeful surprise and my detractors’ apparent dyspeptic dismay, I’m in a great mood.

In other words, if Trump is going to be a successful president — and I hope he is one — he will have to start disappointing his biggest fans. For example, he would be a fool if he indulged the Bannonites in an effort to destroy Paul Ryan. A successful first hundred days absolutely requires teamwork with the party leadership. Launching a civil war among Republicans would be incandescently stupid.
Similarly, as I predicted, he appears fast at work in hammering out a deal on infrastructure with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. I’m actually not opposed to an infrastructure package per se, depending on the details, though I’m very skeptical about the Keynesian assumptions behind such things. I also think it’s hilariously ironic that the first big priority after a GOP victory might end up being . . . a New Deal–style jobs bill.
But my point here is simply that whatever choices he makes now will, as a matter of epistemological, metaphysical, and ontological fact, require trade-offs, concessions, and compromises. That’s fine with me because I never remotely believed he could bring in the unicorn herd in the first place. I knew, and still know, that whatever he delivers will at best be a few nice horses, and a good number of farty mules.
