    Yes I was, but I'm not the American Media. Do we need Uncle Ted to post that graphic again showing just how much more the media fixated on Trump compared to everyone else?

        It'll be interesting to see how the market reacts. I predict a sharp drop at the open with most of the initial losses wiped out by the end of the day. The FTSE is already positive but the Nikkei closed sharply down. Crude futures are currently down $0.25 but the tend to get much more volatile once US markets open

          Frank, I see it different. I saw a lot more hate for Trump than Hillary. I honestly think if it had been the other way around I would have spent more time posting crap on Trump to even things out.

          However, I think we both have at times shared our negative views about both of them.

            I said this sub was a microcosm for the election. The media was pretty damn fixated on Clinton's stupid emails, but Trump's scandals were far more nefarious.

              Trump breaking the Cuban embargo got little play as did Trump's companies having a long history of defying court orders and destroying evidence, deleting emails etc. That stuff got no attention in this sub.

              When Comey's first letter dropped there was a lot of chatter here but those same people hardly acknowledged his second letter.
              I guess this goes to show you see what you want to see. I am not meaning that as snark...we all have this propensity.

                  Forgive me if I take your predictions with a huge grain of salt now...
                  "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                    Did anyone on here predict a Trump win. I know I was way off.

                        Ha ha. A continuation of my awesome predictions.

                        We should all listen more to HfN.

                          Ha! I'm surprised anyone ever read them.

                          So far, the market is down, but not sharply.

                            I'm not good at reposting tweets from my phone, but someone tweeted this last night: "Who would have guessed 20 years ago that the Clinton political machine would be brought down by a Weiner?"

                              Another good one: "Along with the markets, the other thing sharply down will be donations to the Clinton Foundations."
