QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) Inciting violence and hatred sure, totally agree. Having disagreements about tough decisions when it comes to something like immigration I don't. You guys tend to view things very black and white and b**** when the "other guys" don't agree with you 100%. There's no right answer on a lot of that stuff. There are tough decisions that may not be fair to some people. Doesn't mean those people are awful human beings that you shouldn't associate with. Hey, I agree with you...I don't post back here much, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis...I spar with SS and Balta and Sqwert just as much as I do with you and ss2k and others that lean a bit right. I rarely buy into much of what politicians say or do, and I am quite disgusted with the entire system. But this is different...I'm not talking about "tough decisions," like trade and immigration...I am right in line with what most dems thought and that is that this argument doesn't even really reach those issues. The character and temperament of this guy is in and of itself a nonstarter - a complete deal breaker. And the fact that so many people either somewhat secretly are giddy about what this guy stands for, or else are not so offended by it that they can overlook it because they are so frustrated by whatever the hell Barack Obama did to them in the last 8 years...well...I'm just blown away.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) Ah yes, unity and partnership and compromise and all that. The great liberal talking point until someone else wins that doesn't think like me. I'm not happy at all that Trump won and i'm quite confident we're in for an...interesting...4 years. But the liberal jump of the cliff response to this has been enjoyable. Again, let's not compare a disagreement on healthcare with inciting hatred and intolerance. These are not similar types of "differences."

Some crazy s*** unfolding on Facebook today...I rarely post on Facebook, I rarely read it, to be honest with you. I don't get too riled up about politics generally either. But seeing the few people I actually considered friends trying to justify their support for this man...I must say I'm conflicted as to whether to remain friends with them or not. The frightening thing is my best friend in the world voted for this fool, and I am struggling to understand how that could be. I am genuinely a bit "shook," as J4L would say.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 07:47 AM) You honestly think manufacturing jobs will miraculously start coming back to the states because of Trump? I have some great land to sell you in Florida. These are the same people that buy everything at Wal-Mart...they want the jobs to come back to the US until they have to start paying for those American-made goods. I have to say, I was never as proud of our country as I was in 2008. Now I've never been as embarrassed. It's almost like I would have sacrificed Obama wining if I could have knowingly avoided Trump replacing him.

The Canadian immigration website has crashed.

So how many recounts will we end up with?

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) "Clinton needs to win Pennsylvania. The problem is that her lead has dropped to about 7,000 with plenty of votes left to be counted in Republican areas. Meanwhile, the city of Philadelphia has had almost all of its votes counted." With 90% of the vote in for Pennsylvania, Trump has pulled ahead. 48.3% Trump, 48.2% Clinton. If Clinton loses Pennsylvania, it will not be possible for her to win the presidency. She's going to lose PA and WI. It isn't going to end up being all that close.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) Stock market is going to get crushed tomorrow. Trump literally has no plan. When things get even worse, they are going to blame minorities, etc. It is what it is, but Trump is really unqualified and he is going to inherit a country that is being ripped apart. (edit) At this point it may not even be a respectable loss. Hillary is bleeding bad in PA. The markets are the least of my worries, but I'm not ready to start talking about things as if we're in the midst of WWII or something. Yet.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) It happens. Its hard to win President 3x in a row, that is just how things work. But, if you really think people like Trump are the problem, then the rest of us cant be Trumps. We cant wake up tomorrow and want to blow it all up, we have to be positive. Because its likely that there are going to be some dark days ahead, that many of the things people fought for are going to be erased and it may take years to fix it. But that is what we have to do. Even if it isnt what they would have done. Because actions matter and tomorrow if Trump wins, we all have to set the example. Its not forever, but right now America is not in a good place, and its up to all of us to do something about it. I sure hope you are being a bit overdramatic here.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) Recreational marijuana in cali!!! It was on the ballot in NV as well.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) Dear god, that being his team is even more terrifying than Trump himself being president. All are complete clowns No. They may be clowns, but they are nowhere near as terrifying as he is.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) I am literally in Canada right now. On business. Hopefully I'll be allowed back in Thursday night. Stay there!

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 07:45 PM) America is totally screwed. A lot of people fell for that con artist man There is no "artistry" involved with him.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) I really thought she'd be a good prez for all Americans. I hope trump voters believe same. Going to kiss my sons head and pray. We can all move to Canada.

NYT at 92% for the Donald.

NYT at 73% Trump chance of winning.

I feel like the Civil War is being fought all in one night.

Wow, people really hate Hillary Clinton.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) I mean if Hayes and Merkin are talking about it and Hayes did a CSN podcast for a half hour about it, then I'm a believer. Hayes normally is very tight lipped and doesn't tip things. Yeah, but at this point, I am going off of what Hahn is saying.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 06:08 PM) We're rebuilding. I'm not worried about that quote in the least. I'm not yet convinced.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) I dont think there are enough votes left for Hillary in Florida. Those % estimates seem to be off. Broward wont hit 1mil voters, which means Hillary can likely only make up 100k And shes down too much. Recount!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 05:55 PM) MLB ready players in these trades, or trying to cause more confusion by not fully saying that the Sox are gonna rebuild. I'm concerned they will target too many mlb-ready players and dilute their returns.

I'm having flashbacks of 2000.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) What frightens you about it? I should have bolded it...the part about it doesn't mean we won't be in a good position in 2017...

This is the quote that frightens me.
