How did you find a cartoon with you in it?
For all of our Librarian's bluster, the Democratic party isn't imploding. Overnight Mrs. Clinton passed the < 2 million mark in the national popular vote.
The Rust Belt margins (if in fact they were 'margins' at all) were paper thin. Yesterday's ruling by a Wisconsin court could be setting the stage for a Supreme Court decision on gerrymandering.
The one thing that will cause concern is if POTUS-elect shows up and starts to govern like a Democrat. Who the hell knows? Lock her UP? Gone. The Wall? Oh, we didn't really mean 'a wall'. Get rid of ObamaCare on Day 1? Well, ummm…not really. The Alt-right? He's not really looking for their support.
On the other hand, he's set to scrap climate change research at NASA and will shift those dollars to 'deep space exploration' – even though an overwhelming majority of Americans are firmly in another camp. He seems to be serious about a Muslim Registry and he believes the Laffer Curve is 'a thing'. Bannon remains in the White House. Establishment Republicans could turn on him. (doubtful — he'll give them just enough time at the trough of federal dollars to keep them in line).
Exhibit A under Who the Hell Knows? Credit where credit is due: she did the right thing regarding the Confederate Flag in South Carolina.
Trump names Nikki Haley as UN ambassador
I LOVE her reply to the Screaming Yam.

Great point.
Dems should just keep on keepin' on.
It's working.
There are still a few Dem public officials.
Don't stop until they are all out of office.
Hillary won about 300 out of 5,000 counties nationwide.
Why stop at 300, do I hear 200?
Did you mean point or points? If the former, did you have a particular one in mind? Democrats will do just fine without any input from you.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holidays…
Hillary's popular majority is 2 million and growing. Dems won majoruity of votes cast for house and senate. Corrupt rotton borough system keeps Rs cling to power without mandate. Sieg heil, ac/dc.
Computer scientists urge Clinton campaign to challenge election results
I'm all for shutting up and figuring out how to work within the framework of a legitimately lost election. But there seems to be significant evidence of irregularities – including apparently two precincts in Wisconsin where hundreds more votes were reported than there were people registered.
Acceptance issues.
Let me help you Gork, you lost.
I'm not the first to observe this, but reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it?
Gork
When the took attendance at the Mensa meeting last night, I do not remember your name being called.
Mensa is for narcissists.
Agreed. It was a joke.
Mensa is the official society of those with something to prove.
If the vegetables on your Thanksgiving table were harvested by people who were allowed to take bathroom breaks, paid and housed well, not children, and not constantly doused with carcinogenic pesticides, thank a union.
If you are able to buy wholesome food of any kind, thank a farmer.
If your turkey or ham was processed with inspector oversight so you don't get poisoned, thank a union and government regulation.
Take a moment, while you're bowing your head, and thank the Somali refugee or undocumented immigrant who will spend the rest of their life with carpal tunnel syndrome pain from slaughtering or packing meat at ever-higher speeds.
The President – elect will try to do everything he can do undermine existing food safety regulations and union rights. Buy organic, buy local, buy from people who care about food.
Care about food.

What to do now? Trump changed everything. Now everything counts.
Wise words from Barbara Kingsolver, one of my favorite writers. Read it all the way to the end.
