^^^above is so true. I was at a baseball game on Saturday. Girl in front of us must have taken 25 or more selfies. I'm not kidding every few moments she'd take a picture of herself.
She was in her mid 20's

I have had the same dream for two consecutive days. In the dream I am in a motel and there is a citywide blackout. It is night time and there are random shots being fired, stores being looted and burned and cars are on fire. You don't know who you can trust. There is palpable fear.

In 40+ years I cant recall having the same bad dream for two consecutive nights. I wondered what it might mean, if anything.

Then I thought if either Hillary or Trump is elected, there might be spontaneous rioting in some major cities across the country. If you are old enough to remember the LA riots of 1992, it was a very memorable (bad) event. Police were ordered not to engage and mass chaos took hold. It was the topic of conversation nationwide the following morning.

Im not saying for certain riots will occur (in a few major cities) after the election and I hope that we can come together as a nation peacefully despite the outcome.
why? *yawn* another election year with some goofball saying there will be riots after the election! Whatever happened to the riots after Obama was elected...hmmmm

Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? :cool:

I can't imagine Trump supporters leaving their air conditioning in order to riot.

OTOH if dreams actually do foretell the future, I can say with absolutely certainty that prophylactics manufacturers are a strong stock buy.

I am glad that some people feel as if there will be no violence after the election. It helps set my mind at ease.

The police won. :D

Depends on how drunk Trump's Chumps are when the results come in, I'd guess.

I've had that one before, but they were all hot redheads and were throwing Rueben Sandwiches with a Pint of beer in the other hand.

Now that the FBI no billed Hillary's email scandal, there probably will be rioting if she wins.

Clinton strongly opposes firearms despite election style claims to the contrary. Along with another liberal appointment to the Supreme Court, restrictive gun laws might almost be a certainty.

But Im not exactly sure who won, all I know is that a fair number of people were upset with the result and took to the street.

Give me a break.....
They said the same thing about Obama, ""HE WILL TAKE AWAY THE GUNS"", and here we are with just months to go of Obama and guess what????
You still have your guns.
And probably more guns today than before Obama took office.
So lets all pull our heads out of out collective ass and face fact.

Now... as for a president Donald Trump?
YES! He could indeed take away all the guns.
Because with the Trump riots now happening nationwide at his rally's, and Trump isn't even president yet, if Donald were president the riots would hit a national frenzy. Not to mention world wide frenzy.
And THAT would be directly threatening for Donald, so.....
President Trump would have no choice but to take away ALL the guns. Your gun too.
If he didn't, Donald could never leave the Whitehouse. Too risky.

And when it comes to "his safety" vs "your rights", guess who will win that argument? ;)

So, Back to Malheur, Right?

Once each and every libruul votes 2-3 times, while giving rides to illegal immigrants so that they can vote 2-3 times each, nothing will be left for the TrueAmericans but to water the tree of liberty with the death of tyrants and such.

Because freedom.

Also: Benghazi.

You misspelled liberal and you also missed the point. Hillary has a long history of getting away with things that other people would not. You know this as well as I do. But you have yet to mention anything that is on topic to the thread just act like a jackass and troll. :(

Sign me up for some more of that liberal freedom to pay over 50% combined tax rates to live somewhere with dozens of shootings on an average weekend, where I need to step over a dozen homeless people to walk two blocks, and enjoy nanny state laws that cover every facet of your life down to what size soda you can buy. Because that's freedom, I can taste it now. Oh right that's just the smell of the big blue city police committing another act of black person ass kicking community outreach. With their fists and a nightstick.

There will indeed be rioting or at least MAJOR protests, and not just right after the election but maybe for the upcoming years.

A) There will be violent protests should Trump be elected, no question about this.

B) Should Clinton be elected there will ALSO be violent protests - but not because of Clinton per se but BECAUSE TRUMP LOST.

I said already many times previously that Trump, as a pathological narcissist "cannot lose". Those types of people don't have areas in their brain which allow them to see themselves as doing something wrong, let alone losing. If he loses, all hell will be "lose" (oh the pun...) and it will be a firestorm where he'll rile up all the idiots with claims about rigged elections, how the system fails etc. You know this, everyone knows this.

Not exactly. Republicans just have a long history of flinging whatever poo they can find at the Clintons. The fact that the accusations don't stick speaks for itself.

That's too easy for the Mayberry Machiavellis & the True Believers. They never heard of Occam's razor.

If trump is elected we will have two new groups emerge in America.
First group, those that riot, and riot somewhere, every day.
And the second group (below)

the riota in 1968 had nothing to do with why people would riot today....

The very first post I made was succinct and on topic.

In response to whether there will riots after the election, I said:

"Depends on how drunk Trump's Chumps are when the results come in, I'd guess."

Try harder, chief.
