Scenes from the liberal meltdown
New York Post ^ | 11/11/2016 | Post Editorial Board

Stop the insanity!

Days after Donald Trump stunned the world by winning the presidency, liberal America remains in the throes of a massive mental and emotional meltdown.

Anti-Trump protests have spread to more cities and continue to turn violent. In Portland Thursday night, rioters stoned police and vandalized businesses and cars.

Anyone expressing support for Trump has become the target of unrestrained venom: There are calls to boycott New Balance — its sneakers have been publicly burned — because an official said Trump would be better on trade issues.

Meanwhile, the CEO of Grubhub, the online food-delivery service, demanded that employees who agree with Trump resign, because “you have no place here.” (He had to retreat: His lawyers read him the First Amendment and noted that political discrimination also violates California law.)

This is just vicious stuff. But for pure pathos crossing into the absurd, we turn (as usual) to the college campus. Consider:

 The University of Michigan offered its traumatized students coloring books and Play-Doh to calm them. (Are its students in college or kindergarten?)

 The University of Kansas reminded its stressed-out kids that therapy dogs, a regular campus feature, were available.

 Cornell University, an Ivy League school, held a campus-wide “cry-in,” with officials handing out tissues and hot chocolate.

 Tufts University offered its devastated students arts and crafts sessions. (OK, not kindergarten — more like summer camp.)

 At campuses from elite Yale to Connecticut to Iowa and beyond, professors canceled classes and/or exams — either because students asked or because instructors were too distraught to teach.

Blue under florescent lighting looks purple. I have a blue Dodge Challenger, and at night at gas stations it looks more purple than blue. Or maybe it looks blurple.

That sign is likely in blue, just looks purple in florescent lighting.

I dunno. Folks are free to like Trudeau. I found both he and Breathed funny, once upon a time. If they find can find humor in their stuff nowadays, they see through the fog more clearly than I. Or maybe I’ve lost my sense of humor.

“Like BARACK OBAMA incited riots in Kenya to put his cousin,
RAILA ODINGA on the ruling council when ODINGA did not
get voted in.”

BARACK OBAMA’S name has been pretty much scrubbed from any
mention of his and RAILA ODINGA’S chummy political and
family relationships. OBAMA traveled over there during
ODINGA’S run to campaign for him. That was back in late
2007 I think.

This is the United States of America, not some third
world hellhole.

If SOROS (Sore-Ass) is interfering in this election or in
its aftermath; he needs to be dealt with by the proper
authorities. - We did not act like this bunch of
hooligans are acting when Obama was elected - either time;
and we FELT as bad as any of these spoiled kids do now.

You do not always get your way!!

“We did not act like this bunch of

There were a few demonstrations but it was sign-waving and yelling, things like Go Back To Kenya. But nobody threw feces at cops or smashed cars.

Trump tweeted that we had to march on Washington, but nobody did and nobody got shot.

Nobody tried to frighten the EC or bribe them.
