Obama was relatively young and very healthy at the start of his presidency and he still looks worn down physically.

Trump is a 71 year old sack of poo poo who subsists on a diet of big macs and bad steak.

It might just be because he's aging, but I'm pretty sure the stress of the presidency is what turned Obama's hair grey.

I wonder what color Trump's hair is going to turn?

Garrison's comics (and in fact a great many right wing comics) seem to be focusing almost entirely on Hillary losing and how mad it must make everyone, rather than Trump winning and how good it is for everyone. I'm not trying to say this is in any way surprising given the artist history on the group in question, but it feels like this is coming entirely from a place of spite and nobody is actually interested in or even happy with the prospect of where Trump is actually going with this.

I mean, there is that pseudo-rumor that due to the extreme stresses of the position, Presidents "age" two years for every one they're in office.

It's not just comics, this is the attitude I'm seeing all over the place. It's cold comfort at best but I'll take what I can get, especially if they end up tying themselves in knots with infighting.

Unlike Rall's cackling psychopath Obama I think the real Obama feels some abstracted level of remorse when he fucks up and a sort of perpetual but perfectly manageable anxiety about certain global issues unfolding.F or example, II think when he appeared to cry after Newton he had gone thru the mental exercise of imaging his daughters being gunned down for no reason. All that type of poo poo and stress ages you.

I dunno what Trumps deal is but I dont think his brain really procceses things the same way so I dunno if he will age hugely.

I don't know what it's supposed to mean, or even if it's supposed to mean anything in the first place, but that's what makes this wonderful.

I actually do feel, on some level, sympathy for Hillary. She probably had to do a lot of poo poo that, at some point her life, she felt uncomfortable doing but felt that was her only option to Get Ahead As A Women In Washington. Not to excuse her of anything, and poo poo by now she may be a burnt-out husk of a human who felt nothing when backing wars or getting chummy with wall street. But people loving love Obama despite the fact that he, you know, picked the evil Hillary as part of his cabinet and has backed a lot of the same poo poo she has. But he's charismatic and she's like a flesh-wrapped robot trying to impersonate humans, so he gets the love and she gets scorn. And hey, in many cases it's well-deserved scorn.

I'm still pissed at her, and enjoying some schadenfreude at her place in history going to be losing to a complete novice in one of the biggest electoral upsets in our nation's history, but I do feel kinda bad for her.

but i think he was just thinking about the kids that actually died. i know it crushed me and i have no kids. i mean when you hear poo poo about it like one of the kids yelling "help me i don't want to be here!" and lanza saying "well you're here" while gunning him down you can't help but break down if you have even a little bit of a soul.

I started seeing it the other day with a friend of mine posting right wing bullshit on facebook. I suddenly realized "They won. Why is he still posting this stuff?" It's because they don't know what else to do. They have literally won everything they want, and suddenly there is no direction to go in, no changes to brag about, because Trump has been vague and inconsistent so who knows what's coming. All they really have that's for sure is a negative: no more Obamacare, and for a lot of them I think even there, deep down, they feel bad that some people are going to get really hurt by that.

Judging from all the GOP hits from yesteryear in Trump's cabinet, and the NeverTrumpers all bending the knee, I'm not convinced.

Someone even got shot during one of them.

"Preliminary information indicates that a suspect was in a vehicle on the bridge and there was a confrontation with someone in the protest," Portland police said in a statement. "The suspect got out of the vehicle and fired multiple shots injuring the victim." The victim is expected to survive, police said.

The year hasn’t been kind to the global elite.

Curiously, that made many Americans ashamed of their country. They’re resorting to violence because they don’t accept Tuesday’s election results. The same election they feared Donald Trump wouldn’t honor if the results were reversed.

To their credit, President Obama and Hillary Clinton gracefully accepted the voter mandate.

Others, however, are embarrassed because people are laughing at us. Many of whom live under the undemocratic rule of progressive experts. The European Union for example. The EU features strangling regulation, low growth, high unemployment, and negative interest rates.

The Brits had enough of that and voted to exit the E.U. – Brexit. Those voters too were laughed at by their enlightened betters who were embarrassed for their country.

Global Elite

The Obama agenda gave America eight years of increasing regulation, low growth, high unemployment (90 million outside the workforce), and near zero percent interest rates. Hillary Clinton promised to make us even more like France.

So American voters pulled a Brexit and elected Trump. The major media and pollsters missed both the U.K. and U.S.A. revolts entirely.

And that left the global elite shocked and dismayed.

I remain convinced that a good number of people who ascribe to conservatism, at least in the US, do so entirely to spite liberals and because it somehow makes them feel superior to them.
