Submitted by Big Al on Fri, 11/11/2016 - 11:12pmJust a rant. The essay list needs to move along. That's why JtC hired me (kidding).
Trump. I agree with this guy:

It looks like there is a silver-lining to the Trump victory.

The choice of Keith Ellison v. Howard Dean as DNC Chair is such a perfect test of whether Dems learned anything https://t.co/ZapYx9Q26G

One of the turds floated to the bottom.

Usually I try and document everything, verify my source... but today I am feeling like fuck this shit. Lucky me, no downvotes and negative mojos and such hyena breathing exercises:
A friend of mine sent me this link late last night to a Change.org Petition directed to the Electoral college.
Yeah, brilliant idea nimrods.
If you really want a "Blood in the Streets" revolution to kick off I can't think of a better way to get it rolling.
Angry with Hillary Clinton's dramatic loss, supporters damaged vehicles, set fires, and threw rocks and projectiles at police last night, the second night of protest marches, blocking downtown streets, and harassing passers-by.
What began yesterday morning as a peaceful rally turned violent by darkfall. By early evening Portland police declared it a riot, and moved armored officers into place to attempt to contain the hooligans.
There has been a great deal of discussion about the Democratic Party here at c99% this week. Rebuild it? Burn it down? Take it over from the bottom up? Go Green?
Just to be clear at the outset: Our choice in 2016 was surreal, but so is the idea of Biff Tannen in the White House. I have no desire to defend or protect Trump. I just want to know what is going on.
Another one from the Picking at the Scab files of what went wrong for the Democrats. Those manipulative lever pullers behind the scenes in Clintonville really outsmarted themselves this time in their efforts to stage manage the Hillary coronation. Little did they know that their elaborately constructed set with its paper mache ogre would topple over at the end of the third act and crush their leading lady just as she was about to take her bows.
