BingoBoingo: shinohai: There is no entry because entry has rules explicitly forbidding Youtube and other spammer refuges.
BingoBoingo: And popular vote lead approaching 2 million
BingoBoingo: And lol early utah returns show Clitler and McMullin each at 21%
BingoBoingo: Wait, Virginia already "called" for clitler while North Carolina and FLorida still "leaning" even with better numbers suggesting Trumpreich
mircea_popescu: anyway, pretty much all over for the dumb bitch that dared go against the republic.
mircea_popescu: hopefully the rest of the aparatchicks can learn from her corpse
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> eh that was whole hour ago!111 << No, they "called" it just minutes ago though obvious earlier
mircea_popescu: it's enough for her to lose wisconsin, which she doesn't have a prayer with, or michigan, which idem, and she's out.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> anyone here ever saw a film called swordfish ? << lol, yes.
BingoBoingo: Yes, her current pennsylvania lead is eroding by the minute because rural votes matter
mircea_popescu: i dunno what they're talking with 87%. unless 99.87% is what they mean.
BingoBoingo: But nytime lags in awarding states and so they show Clitler up 1 electoral vote on their count
BingoBoingo: Anyways the difference between 2012 polls and 2016 is old people still had landlines in 2012. Now they don't.
mircea_popescu: heh. check out the effect of bahamas on illinois though. pretty much the only thing the guy did, porkbarrel. it shows.
trinque: fivethirtyeight has trump at 28.6% to win, last updated 14hrs ago. bahaha teh butt-tears.
mircea_popescu: "The fear at the Javitz Center in New York, where Hillary Clinton is due to greet the results later tonight, is palpable." sez one lucia graves

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> heh. check out the effect of bahamas on illinois though. pretty much the only thing the guy did, porkbarrel. it shows. << Check the county map. Chicago and East St Louis (and not neighbors of East st louis) got pork

BingoBoingo: Koster just conceded to Eric Grietens for Missouri governor prior to media "calling" result

mircea_popescu: ineptitude on this level is reminiscent of dan quayle.
mircea_popescu: there won't be anyone from the progre side in congress.
mircea_popescu: Shemin said he had voted Democrat every election until this one. “I believed the promises of the Democratic party and I realized I’ve been let down every time especially by Obama,” he said.
mircea_popescu: yeah well. they're uncomfortable. don't think car - it's worse than shitty japanese bike from the 80s
mircea_popescu: and in places with harsh weather (such as, everywhere civilised men live, east coast, etc) you can't fly them 2 days a week
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the dynamics are the problem. very much like being in a walnut shell
mircea_popescu: fly each day to commute ? get over it. plenty of high profile 60s crashes of derpy "busionessmen" who thought this is a fine idea. it isn't. you get tired then you get dead.
mircea_popescu: the point being that it's not as reliable as car, not even close. if you gotta show up in the morning unexpectedly (meaning, you partied with two hos till 3 am) and then the weather's bad, your survival rate dropped to like 60%.
mircea_popescu: but only if. you can't fly those if it's icing for instance. period.
trinque has a family member flying the big ones, has heard all kinds of stories
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo kasich got his butt handed to him huh. << Kasich might have swept against Clitler it appears
trinque: I don't think I'd ever fly something small that didn't have one of those ballistic parachute things
trinque: and even then, you get hung up in a tree, then fall to death
mircea_popescu: and yes, he has a point, expensive, complex, might as well get a 1mn plane if you will bother.
trinque: older gentleman in my family owns an old beechcraft 18. thing's engines *roar*; we took it to nantucket coupla years back.

SHortly after an edict that to get gawker check must make key came down. THey kept it up only a couple weeks.
mircea_popescu: also abc announces trump took melania backstage for a blowjob.
BingoBoingo: You know the truly funny thing is Sanders jsut might have been able to stahp the Trumreich from happening. Sorry for your rigged system Donna Brazile.
mircea_popescu: anyway, > 100mn votes counted, what fucking "voter supression". it's a fucking record.
BingoBoingo: The thing about socialistards is that to keep winning that have to run further and further towards Swedenhell as a platform. If they try to "moderate" like Clitler coming from Bahamas they stall like a motor stalls.
trinque: 2020 is going to be sanderswoman vs breitbarpublicans
mircea_popescu: trinque no woman is running for another half dozen or so cycles.
mircea_popescu: and i very much doubt there will be another black man president ever.
trinque wonders what the huddled butthurt will choose then
trinque: all the people from the current apparatus are going to prison
mircea_popescu: imagine, to be an affirmative action dork from kenya who has ruined the presidential office for all black people.
mircea_popescu: including black people who aren't lazy imbeciles ; who actually go to school, actually work, actually educate themselves etc.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's over, they know it's over, moved on to soppy shit with little girls and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: anyway - trump has wi (10) by 4% with 10% left ; and az (11) by another 4% with 25% left. that's 265. he leeads by 1% in my (16), which is very enough. he also leads in penn (20) 2706146-2680667 with ~3% still to count.
BingoBoingo: The only question that matters is how does South Park handle the results of this very member berry election tomorrow night

pete_dushenski: ^ one of my first 'market reaction'-related thoughts this morning as well
mircea_popescu: if anyone is looking to sell long term puts on the thing, i'm buying, let me know.
pete_dushenski: though all major indeces up >1% overall on the day. quite contrary to all the 'futures' bullshit msm was spewing last night. down '800 points' my left foot.
pete_dushenski: gotta love how vix got crushed today too. down 23% compared to +50% after brexit. markets not so surprised by trumpreich after all.
pete_dushenski: the banks and defense contractors were the largest beneficiaries. most +5-7%
mircea_popescu: hey, banks etc would actually benefit from a delousing.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in other tales from the mortuary, who takes over the remnants of the "cathedral" aka democratic "establishment" ? pelosi ?
mircea_popescu: i'm rooting for pelosi, would be the lulz of all time.
mircea_popescu: she;s only 66 so uncharacteristically young, could even run in 2020.
pete_dushenski: in other ambitions, just reviewing top search keyphrases for contravex and 'why is zcash crashing' and 'vitalik buterin autistic' are topping the list
mircea_popescu: dude in-system is a fascinating thing. so the guy from above, who does in point of fact understand the situation in the field pretty well, proceeds to reason on the basis of the facts. what's he come up with ?
mircea_popescu: "Whoever takes over what’s left of the Democratic Party is going to have to find a way to appeal to a broader cross section of the country. It may still be true that in the long term, Republicans can’t win with their demographics, but we found out Tuesday that the long term is still pretty far away. Democrats have to win more white voters. They have to do so in a way that doesn’t erode the anti-racist or anti-sexist pla
mircea_popescu: nks of the modern party, which are non-negotiable. If only there were a model for this."
mircea_popescu: first and foremost, that the notion white men are going to be washed away into irrelevancy by a flood of brown cunt is nonsense ofthe first degree.
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking point is that people do NOT want for "republicans to can't win with their demo". that's the one fucking point. but he misses it.
mircea_popescu: and then... sexism ? really, that is a thing ? a plank-thing ? racism, that's another thing ?
mircea_popescu: these planks are rotten, holy shit, how can anyone miss this ?
mircea_popescu: forget sexism, it's a non issue. nobody cares, it doesn't matter, it's about as important or relevant as ether
mircea_popescu: "not waking up in the middle of the night to eat six buckets of icecream (aka "Sexism") and never lifting butt of couch (aka, "racism") are... "non-negotiable". if there only was a model to lose weight! hurrr"
mircea_popescu: the brightest of the bright can't see past blindfolds if they were the ones who put the blindfolds on in the first place. so i'm guessing this is the end of bipartisan system, democrats go to hell in a handbasket, which drives gop to split into pro-trump and anti-trump sides, which makes us a 4-way system with the greens or whatever others being the 4/5th.
mircea_popescu: will be interesting to watch us "experts" manage electoral coallitions etc.
mircea_popescu: but then again, this is an unavoidable stop on the maturation trail. like growing tits.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha trump compares rnc chairman to famous triple crown winner (ie, a horse) in victory speech.
mircea_popescu: TRUMP: Thank you very much. And I can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. <<< and threeeere it is. new party.
mircea_popescu: i dont' get it, what's this, "advertisement" on reddit for reddit run as a sort of kickstarter ?
mircea_popescu: "pay us to pay reddit to show you the reddit link you paid us at" ?
mircea_popescu: “I am betting that tomorrow you will reject fear and you’ll choose hope,” Barack Obama said. “I’m betting that the wisdom and decency and generosity of the American people will once again win the day. And that is a bet that I have never, ever lost.” << bwahahahaha!
mircea_popescu: but hey, at least he admits it / has no qualms with it.
mircea_popescu: “Would anyone who isn’t like you have a place in your America, Donald Trump?” Khan asked. “Well, thankfully Mr Trump, this isn’t your America.” << this khan being the despicable shithead who "rebuked" donald trump so that the progre press could pretend like it's outraged that some shithead who spoke out of line got told off.
mircea_popescu: is md throwing a revolution party / occupy hillstreet ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose nigel farage gets crowned as next king in uk and all is well on teh western front lmao
mircea_popescu remembers the days when obama told da to pick up some random hooker turning tricks in hotel, claim she was a maid, have her tell that strauss-kahn assaulted her, then lie about the whole thing so that france would end up with a president the us likes (which, of course, like every other bahamas scandal, backfired miserably and cost the us taxpayer a helluva lot more than the nigger's "education" cost them)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but perhaps the choicest lolz come from paul ryan - who's now explaining how much the gop owes trump and how grateful they are are - the same man who "reacted" to civil servant manufactured "scandal" by cancelling all his appearances with trump and isntructing the party to not support the upticket.
pete_dushenski: ryan : the new kerry. so much flip-flop you can make a sandal out of his leather.
mircea_popescu: well, he's young and other than taking cock he has no marketable skills.
mircea_popescu: he's congratulated everyone in sight, all the way to the wisconsin police chief.
pete_dushenski: i guess there's that or joining the new trumpreich partei
a111: Logged on 2016-11-09 04:26 mircea_popescu: that's it, she's losing wisconsin, and with that the election.
pete_dushenski dutifully takes notes for the day when he too will seek public office. after suffering brain damage in a high-speed car crash, ofc.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i dunno how it goes in canada, but in the us you must be at least 145 yo
trinque: gotta have at least two vids of you plowing a toddler, too.
mircea_popescu: "Asked how they would feel about a Trump presidency, more than a third of Americans said they would be frightened, exit polls found. Among those who voted for Hillary Clinton, the feeling was almost unanimous and reflected a deep divide: 92 percent said Mr. Trump scared them."
mircea_popescu: other than the lulz implicit - let's do some math here. so - hillary won, as the progretards don't fail to mention, the popular vote. hence... 92% of 50.5% = 1/3 of 100% ?
mircea_popescu: but hey, at least it's only the niggers & leeches who are afraid. generally speaking vermin should be petrified, or else wtf.
phf: "was hangover, didn't submit vote on time, can i submit the vote on thursday?"
mircea_popescu: anyway, odds are first move of new "unified" govt is repeal of affordable care act, aka the tax-thats-not, aka obamacare.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ryan moar than happy to, even unasked. trump gets a shitload of stalin halo effect, as it turns out.
