What an awful way to wake up this morning. I have a sense of disbelief about what has happened. I am trying to do my morning chores but I can physically feel my heart hurting and my head pounding. It is unreal. I feel I am not really living this and instead this is some hallucination.
And yet, the day must go on. I have to get ready, go to work and meet clients. So to get over this election hangover (and a fair bit of Glenlivet last night) I am going to do the following:
1. Pray 2. Go for a run 3. Not watch any TV or listen to any Radio 4. Take a giant Excederin for my headache
How is everyone else handling this? Please post what you are all doing to keep functioning
Given the moral decay of America, Yaweh may be sending this as judgement for a decadent people who turned away from him.
Well, he must act in some very strange ways!
I’m with ya.
Everyone: go through your stages of grief as quickly as possible. We are not whiney sore losers like Democrats. We arren’t slackers, we aren’t victims.
We need to suck it up, work harder, squirrel away more money from the Greedy Hand, turn off the TV, and BE HAPPY. Our turn will come again. Move to a red state if you can’t stand living where you are—seriously.
Our fortunes and personal happiness should not be under the control of a vainglorious politician.
God bless you all.
I feel strangely liberated. I have no stake in those who will rule us, “ don’t blame me I didn’t vote for those a@@holes”.
I can now again buy products from France and Germany as I won’t feel like a traitor as my country has turned it’s back on most of what I valued in it.
I didn’t leave my country, my country left me, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan.
I plan on shrugging some of that burden, as I will not labor for the collective, so I will be spending way more time at the beach, and much less at work.
So, there is my silver lining....
I for one will do everything as my duty to sabotage (peacefully of course) an Osama presidency.
In 1992, I was devastated, the Dems had a lock on all branches of government.
Then the self-correcting feature kicked in!
I wish I were as optimistic as you.
If half of this country could actually vote the worst possible candidate the Democrats could put out there, I don’t have any faith that people will rise up against anything.
What a mess.
We manufacture very little and are even importing many food items from communist nations. But then we will have much in common with our communist brothers.
Watch out for that Second Amendment.
Well, this nasty turn of events will go a long way to reviving the militia movement.
Best hangover cure is Fernet Branca. It tastes 100 times worse than the worst medicine you ever had as a kid, but it is magical stuff. Not much, though - 1 or 2 teaspoons of it is all you'll need (or want)!
Very good point. I too will now buy foreign, again doing everything I can to doom this socialist president.
I cannot believe that people are that stupid to vote for this socialist piece of crap.
This has always been my sentiment. It’s not the defective candidates that frighten me. It’s the defective people who put them in power.
The only thought running through my mind now is from the end of “Apocolypse Now”.
The horror. The horror...
“I still remember the day when Clinton was elected first in 1992. I was sad because a lousy draft dodging pot smoking ex hippie was elected but I did not fear for myself or my safety.
That is the BIG difference in this election. I somehow feel that my family is less safe this AM. I don’t know if I am the only Freeper that thinks like that or there are others but as of today I will be very cautious.”
Absolutely! It’s one thing to be kind of bummed ‘your guy’ didn’t win. But this is different. This is very very different.
Yep, last night my weapons went way up the list of my prized posessions.
OH GOD!! I FORGOT HE VOWED TO GET RID OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
Oh crap, now I’m really feeling the reality of this.
Amen Brother... I feel your pain.
Would not be the first time. Look at us we kill babies on demand, we steal from each other and call it commerce and taxation, we have removed our creator and life force from all public discussion and have adopted the god, greed, we allow sexual deviants of all sexual persuasions to push their morality on our children, If I were YHVH I’d be pissed too.
He has always chastised HIS PEOPLE.
I feel conquered.
