I mean it's not like anyone actually has any personal stake in what happens at the high echelons of political office or of business. It's all very abstract, and people side one way or the other purely on the basis of which side tells a better feel-good story. Until suddenly some part of it is personal, at which point they'll believe super hard in whichever side they think vindicates them more, logical or not.

It's my favorite Futurama line: "I'm rich! Suddenly I have an opinion about the capital gains tax!"

Like estate taxes people that don't have to worry about it already have opinions on them

Added schaden: California went for Clinton. Her vote meant nothing regardless. So even if she abstained, it meant nothing either way.

It doesn't say she still lives in Cali, just that her properties there were foreclosed on. Also, the byline says Washington so I'm thinking she's in Washington state. But I'm just being nitpicky. We've got four years of making fun of people who believed Donald would "drain the swamp" from the relative comfort of our gulags.

No state was won by a single vote, so when you think about it, it doesn’t matter where she lived.

Yup! It was even in a lot of his campaign ads. I don't think anything much at all is going to change under him to be honest. Maybe my stock portfolio will go up an extra couple of percentage points the next few years, but other than that its going to be business as usual, but with a lot more hilarious sound bytes from our president.

I did enjoy CNN following up with their panel of Trump supporters post-election and I hope they continue to do so. It'll be fun watching the mental gymnastics. I especially like the one lade who, pre-election, was very passionate in her hatred of Reince Priebus and was asked how she felt about Trump naming him Chief of Staff. "oh I think it's brilliant, now he (Trump) can keep tabs on him and keep him in check!".

We're an upper middle class gay couple and Trump will probably be great for us. Should get a nice tax cut, and if they overturn gay marriage we don't have to pay the marriage penalty.

Man, the outtakes from this fight scene are so painful to watch, Jackie Chan (and his stunt team who are also frequently injured with him) are true heroes of action filmmaking.

You quoted the Game of Thrones clip instead of First Strike and for a few seconds I was getting really excited that there was a YouTube clip out there of Jon Snow getting accidentally bopped in the face with sword pommels or falling off of his horse :(

My cat poops on the floor just outside her litter box pretty much once a week. Just to remind me that she can I guess?
