    From an outside perspective I have been waiting for years for the USA to go “haha gotcha! We pranked the whole world!”.

    Please hurry.

      Believe me, when this piece of rancid filth ends up behind bars, most of us will be as relieved as you.

      Remember, he only won in the first place because our stupid fucking electoral college system screwed the country. Most of us never wanted him, and can’t wait to see him in a jumpsuit that matches his stupid skin.

        I won’t be relieved, because at that point there will be thousands (millions?) of irate, brainwashed acolytes who are told that he is an innocent political prisoner, and that their country has turned against them, and the only thing they can do is turn violent and become terrorists.

          Oh, that’s certainly worrying. But most of them are Meal Team Six types. They’ll piss and moan about it online, and then find some other stupid thing to be outraged about. Without Trump being in the public eye urging them on, they won’t be able to maintain their hate-boners.

          Conservatives aren’t the only ones armed. They’re just louder. This liberal owns more guns, and is actually practiced with them, than any conservative I’ve met.

          Not that “more guns” is any indicator of ability, but let’s just say this liberal won’t be caught with his dick in his hand.

        Can’t wait to see the news articles about drones smuggling bronzer into his prison.

        There was 2.1% difference in popular vote, so still close to 50% of voters who supported him, that’s demoralizing and depressing.

          Well, only about two thirds of registered voters turn out. That statistic, minus everyone who couldn’t vote (those under 18, people not registered, resident aliens who haven’t gotten their citizenship yet, the massive number of our citizens who are incarcerated along with all the convicted felons who finished serving their time, etc) and it’s like only 23% of the country wanted him as president… same coin different side only slightly more than 23% wanted someone else.

      I mean, when Thomas Paine wrote “What if the British colonies declared independence haha” it was supposed to be a trolly 4chan post, like NO WAY they were actually gonna beat the World’s greatest military force in the 18th century … unless?
