Maybe the delete button is why it seemed like some members were missing in action from this conversation. Could there have been poster fraud?

Some weird shit happened on the site yesterday:

* ssl cert was marked as expired on firefox only
* delete link appeared by all comments until i refreshed the code on the site
* automatic comments stopped for some people, and some comment submissions resulted in errors

Not sure any of it was hacking, but it was odd.

Supposedly PA was won in and around the Lancaster area, meaning Trumps margin was roughly equivalent to the number of Amish votes.

They sure came here often enough. I have a property adjacent the Lancaster airport, and about shit myself one day when I went out front and saw dozens of state police and black tahoes out front. Then the MAGA bus pulled up and i could breath a sigh of relief

I saw weired stuff too. I also got errors when clicking on the live Polling thread. Saying a totally different thread name didn't exist. I think it's because the name of the thread changed.
Because the thread title it said it couldn't find seemed like the previous title name. Also people on ignore were showing up. not only during live updates but when I would go to the page.
That lasted for a while then went away.

Lena Dunham is going to self-deport. Twice.

So... if she is deported and then deported again from deportation does it mean she is back?

702   zzyzzx   2016 Nov 9, 10:31am  

I have to figure some of the bad things happening were due to overloaded internet, since everyone was constantly refreshing election results (not just Patnet related, I mean the whole rest of the internet being overloaded).

Think I can get the Strasburg Rail Road to dress up their train into an actual Trump train? I mean, it probably wouldn't hurt to ask, and they do dress up the train occasionally for special events.

Hopefully we'll at least get a Taylor Swift breakup song from this election. Maybe something like "We are never, ever getting back together" for Hillary Clinton, or "You should have said no" about Donald Trump, or "Bad Blood" for the rift between the DNC and BernieOrBust.

Hell yea! Thomas is old hat anyway

It would be a big draw, that's for sure

Maybe the demonic forces that allowed Trump to win the election affected the PatNet servers. Demonic forces can have an effect on electronic equipment. That's just science. The ectoplasm generates EM fields.

#Swifty2020

Taylor Swift would win in a landslide in 2020, especially because her fans will finally be able to vote.

And how many of those Amish had voter IDs? Aren't we afraid of in person voter fraud?

A real voter ID would have to use electronics and RSA encryption, so the Amish couldn't use it.

Hillary Supporters, Pre- November 8th

"Superdelegates are a fine and good institution that makes sure the most electable candidate wins."

Hillary Supporters, Post- November 8th

"Waah, Electoral College, Waaaah!!!"

Clinton's decision to stay at the Hotel rather than suck it up like a big girl and face the nation is so Hillary Clinton.

Did she have a concession speech ready yesterday night? Or did they use the speechwriter budget for the fireworks?

Anybody else think she didn't come out last night because she was a goddamn mess, crying and screaming and throwing shot glasses and lamps?

Trump is already having a negative impact on the economy as PatNeters waste the entire work day writing smart ass comments about the election.

I'm thinking she was too drunk.

She was busy working a Growler out in her depends.

728   turtledove   2016 Nov 9, 11:24am  

I'm sure she was devastated beyond speech. Love her, hate her, you cannot knock her effort. In her shoes, I imagine a feeling of gutting disappointment, embarrassment about being the "sure thing" and still losing, stunned realization that she was as hated as some said... So much so that she couldn't even beat Trump. And... I'm sure she was as surprised as anyone by how wrong the polls were.

Trump was the only opponent from the GOP she could not beat. Clinton really put up a good fight. She should be proud.

I'm sure she had better polls, but I could be wrong.

It is all predestined to happen. I can count a few movies that mentioned President Trump. He is the most prophesized US president ever.

@Rew

In reference to your comment that families learn their voting habits... Here are the texts I woke up to:

From my mom:
Trump supporters believe he's going to give them everything they want, because they haven't been successful themselves and it's the government's fault. It's the government that holds them back -- and he will destroy it and they can be great, rich, or whatever. It's the culmination of the final dumbing down of America -- welcome to the idiocracy! A great win for everyone who needs to blame others for their own failures. Republicans seem not to understand change can also be far worse. Well, they've sown the wind. Unfortunately, we will all have to reap the whirlwind!

From one brother:
You wanted him. You got him. I think there's going to be real panic amongst a lot of people. If Hillary won, sure not many liked her, but I don't think many would panic. But many people, the stock market, will panic at the outcome of this election. I guess here is where we cross our fingers and hope the good ole checks and balances kicks in.

From another brother:
Idiocracy... we have voted into office Dwayne Alezandro Mountain Dew Camancho. The world just became dumber. Trexit is here. Merica.... fuck ya! Trexit. I truly believe that this election result will not have positive impact on the common man. The markets will tank today. My business will shrink over the next 2-4 years. ACA will be repealed and the racist/sexists are the majority. Republican house, senate and presidency. Let the nightmare situation begin. It's like Howard Stern being the most power man on the entire face of the Earth.

From another brother:
I feel like we just survived the Purge: Election without the warm fuzzy ending.

From Stepdad:
Sounds like [TD] would rather take a risk on a self centered, narcissistic, inexperienced, immoral, lying, low life rather than someone who is experienced and cares about something other than themselves and has worked hard. You should move to Mississippi.

========

This is just a taste of the texts I've been receiving from family. So, saying that political tendencies are learned, clearly isn't always the case. I find it funny... My choice has lost the last couple. I wanted Bush out at the second term, so I took the plunge and voted Kerry... and I've been making the minority choice ever since. That said, with each new president, I always went into it with optimism. I ALWAYS gave the winner the benefit of the doubt. I find it interesting that my own family shows the same dem. pattern of being so completely intolerant of views that aren't identical to theirs. I'm trying really hard not to start any fights. So, I'm keeping kind of quiet on the family texts. Tried making a few jokes... Like "Welcome to the White House and Casino." "And Baldwin has job security for at least four years at SNL... See? Jobs!" They were having none of it. They are acting like spoiled cubs with spikes in their paws. Anyway, I could use some love. My mommy/brothers/stepdad are being mean to me.

It's about time we had a floridly psychopathic leader instead of the plain vanilla politic sociopaths! America is going to get the enema it deserves!

What's wrong with Howard? He'd be almost as good as Trump, hahahaha.
