If only we could only get him to spend more time eating we wouldn't have to listen to him. Somebody please bring him more beautiful chocolate cake and a truck full of ice cream.

Completely unrelated and irrelevant anecdote...An acquaintance of mine was working on his PhD and had a team of UMichigan grad students working on projects to replace the internal combustion engine with something greener, with far more power and range than currently capable. It was all funded by DoE grants. The idea was to ensure American automakers in Detroit would be the ones to benefit globally and take a leadership position from applying the lessons learned. Well, apparently the budget kept getting slashed over the past 3 years (Republicans in Congress dontchaknow?) and is now non-existent. Program got shutdown. But funny thing, Daimler-Benz hired all the researchers, took the research and moved it all to Germany. I guess as inventors of the internal combustion engine, maybe they figure Germany should own the replacement? So much winning...

So, Trump has 2 million more fake followers than Clinton. Finally! A vote count where Trump actually beat Clinton!

Looks like he beat the crap out of her on REAL followers too and a better percentage.

19,312,680 Real
11,736,645 Fake

I disagree.
He is not legally our president.

He only "won" the electoral college due co generations of unfair gerrymandering and hundreds of years of redundant voter suppression policies.

He is a fraud.

I read this as:

" My pussy hurts ".

That is amazing. (this is also how Singapore became a/the world leader in ES cell research and advanced medical research, all within about 4 years time--response to Dubya ban on new--meaning all--ES cell research followed by immediate cash dump and international PI commitments to a massive research center, when the world realized that the USA was no longer open for business).

God bless the GOP!

I know you're super pumped about this, but quite a few people I know, including myself, think social media junkies are mindless idiots.

So...enjoy the win.

No, he won the electoral college by getting more electoral votes than Granny "It's My Turn" Clinton. Try not to cry :)

Actually not at all. Just following the links provided by others. I agree with you that social media junkies are mindless idiots. Esp Twitter, Facebook etc... This is as close as I get to social media.

Clinton won the democrap ticket through fraud too. I did not consider her a legitimate candidate.
