There is zero apathy for those folks. Now that they go through the same horrific nightmare many Americans experienced when BO’B was elected (TWICE!!!) there is just nothing there to feel any longer....nothing but pleasure and jubilance - we won; they lost. Praise be to the LORD!

>>“I don’t have anything against Muslim people, you know — Muhammad Ali was a Muslim.”

Muhammad Ali espoused bigotry against white people. Not certain white people, but white people in total.

He was indoctrinated in hate by the Nation of Islam. It’s a quasi-muslim cult that pushes numerology, UFOs, black nationalism, and antisemitism.

Later in life he toned down or even dialed back some of his rhetoric.

Deluded
Devalued

Perhaps she should try a prescription of dilaudid.

Self-loathing induced by the distortions of Marxists won't get you anywhere in life.

I haven’t seen a scary movie in many years.

Now I have seen plenty which are full of gore but they just make me sort of disgusted rather than scared.

The 1930s Dracula with Bela Lugosi is better than any recent ones.

A bunch of Hitchcock movies were very good but only a little scary.

He sounds like a drama queen.

Don't you need to be to make a movie?

Honestly, the first returns weren’t good for us. I remember sort of scrolling mindlessly through FR and the internet. I had muted my TV. I looked back closer to 9:00 and saw that Trump was close in Virginia. I said, “Wait a minute, if Trump is that close in Virginia, then how could he lose Florida or Ohio?” Trump ended up winning those states, but it was a nailbiter for a while because the media wasn’t calling it. I felt tremendous relief when Trump won. Although, I had fully prepared myself mentally for days for a Hillary win. I pictured her up there and the media fawning. I hoped it wouldn’t happen, though, and thankfully it didn’t.

I remember that day. I was on tenterhooks all day long, until about 10 pm Pacific time. Then, light shone for the first time in 8 long years, into the darkness of our country.

Oh me too hoagy. I started NOT to watch it at all because I kept thinking about President Trump talking in the days leading up to the election about “if I don’t win” blah, blah and I thought oh Lord he knows something we don’t. Eventually I turned it on and saw all those states and those electoral votes and PRAISE THE LORD watched until almost dawn the next day..........who coulda slept???? lol

I'll never forget that night. I got home from work around 6:30pm, turned on the TV and logged into Freerepublic. The lib analysts were gloating because the exit polls showed Hillary winning and the election night thread on here was like a morgue. In total disgust I turned everything off and went to bed.

I woke up about 9:15pm fully expecting that Hillary would have already been declared the winner. I was shocked when the mood among the liberal analysts had gone from gloating to nail biting and concern and the posters on the election night thread had come down off the ledge and cautious optimism was in the air.

From there it only got better as states started to go toward Trump. By 11:00pm cautious optimism had turned into full blown celebration. By midnight I called if for Trump, but decided to stay up for his victory speech. Then Hillary refused to concede and I finally went to bed around 2:30am. I found out when I woke up at 6:00am for work that Hillary had finally conceded about an hour after I went to bed.

Even though I went to work on about 3 hours of sleep, I was walking on cloud nine and didn't even notice!

The media holds out on calling states and elections for Republicans/conservatives.

Hillary had already cancelled her fireworks plan for NYC in the afternoon.

The difference between US and THEM.

When I first heard that Hillary might make it, my first reaction was oh well, people are as nuts as they were when they Voted for Obama twice.

It was just going to be more of the same old, same old.

I didn’t think of Crying or Rioting. I just thought it was nice while it lasted and the years of not being Represented by my Government would continue until my death.

THEN Candidate Trump WON, which meant America WON BIGLY.

For me it was when I saw that Ohio wasn't even competitive and my "friends" on Facebook started having meltdowns.

It was then, I knew.

I go to YouTube and watch election night videos. The expressions and spinning of the fake news journalists and the periodic reporter “on the scene” reactions from the Kravitz Center are great reminders to me of what God did on Election day.

I truly prayed and went to bed that night, knowing He was sovereign and hoping for the best but trying to prepare for the worst.

I work surrounded by liberals...so I had already scheduled some vacation time the day after.

But I pray a prayer of gratefulness when I consider His grace given to a sinful nation. May we repent and seek His face.

No, it most certainly was not.

I just went back to the Election Night Live Thread. It was at 11:36on Pacific time that FReeper abb posted a tweet saying that Hildabeast had conceded. I posted back “WHAAAT???” . A couple other posts came up confirming it, and I remember yelling to my wife in the upstairs office that Trump had won.. I remember that she yelled back “WooHooo!!!”

When they call Florida, I was sure we had it. When they wouldn’t call Georgia, I knew..

I had wondered why they waited so long to call Pennsylvania to put Trump over the top, but now I think it was to buy time to sober Clinton up, or coax her down from the roof, or some such thing to give her campaign the time to manage their response.
