2016 US ELECTION: Official Results Thread

[Flagg]

We've all known that the vast majority of the American populace is a shambling horde of old, stupid, soundbyte-driven retards that will fall for the most over-the-top snake oil salesman so long as he panders to their stupidity in public.

And now, we see it's culmination.

The mentally disabled have it way over Rapist Donnie Douchebag voters. If it weren't immoral I'd wish for mass seppoku after their racist, misogynist, rapist, and psychopath idol loses. Instead they'll probably just start shooting up establishments run by anyone with darker skin than Paul Bettany in the horrid paper/celluloid abortion 'The DaVinci Code'.

One good news, courtesy of the guardian liveblog:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose police force in Maricopa county, Arizona, has been repeatedly found to practice racial profiling, and who faces criminal charges, has been defeated.

No wonder it's so cold here.

You are seriously underestimating just how bad a candidate Hillary was, on every level. That's the only reason trump won.

[Patroklos]

I am looking forward Monday morning quarterbacking the stats. Even if Hillary inches out a win in the end the polls were obviously horribly wrong. Between this and Brexit there is something very wrong with the methodology being used.

BBC has it at 197 Clinton/193 Trump as of this post, for what that's worth.

[Solauren]

Since it's been said that NBC is predicting a massive dive in the DOW JONES, what are the estimates of the effect on the USD?

He's 84. Father Time was going to take care of that one soon anyway, but it's nice to know that a broken clock was finally right after 24 years.

I'm not liking the results so far. I mean, if Michigan and Wisconsin tick back over to blue we'll all have been fretting over nothing, but it sure looks like they might go red.

As I type this Florida was just called. Not liking this.

[Highlord Laan]

NC and FL got to Il Douche.

What the actual fuck, america?

[Thanas]

Fox news, for all it is worth, called WI for Trump.

I am getting very worried.

197/222 now.

I am preparing to eat a whole lot of humble pie right now.

Hardly. I'm fulling aware of just how much a living pile of steaming shit Hillary is. Why do you think I was backing Bernie? The only reason the cunt made it as far as she has is because of the favors owed to her by the DNC. Hence, them torpedoing Sanders' campaign.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a large number of Bernie supporters voted for Il Douche just to spite the Democrat machine.

Here are my current thoughts:
1) Canada is not far enough. How's that Mars One coming along?
2) Can California secede from the union?
3) Do we have to wait until Jan 20th to draw up articles of impeachment?
4) TPP is toast #silverlinings?

197/222 now.

I am preparing to eat a whole lot of humble pie right now.

As of this post: 209/228, and according to the Beeb, PA and MI are still at 78.6% and 64.3% of districts reporting. BBC also has Clinton leading in MN with 51.1% of districts reporting. AZ is still at 43.2% reporting, and given that Joe Arpaio has been overthrown, there might still be something there.

[Patroklos]

3) Do we have to wait until Jan 20th to draw up articles of impeachment?

That might be a bit tough given how the down ballot has gone.

Cbs is saying that it's suburban women that are really breaking his way. Apparently the pollsters had them going the other way. I dunno that anyone can blame the Bernie voters for that.

[Thanas]

3% lead for Trump in WI, with over 70% of votes counted.

Jesus.

[SolarpunkFan]

Seems I was right to be fucking scared out of my wits. It turned out the worst case scenario actually came true.

I was actually planning on drinking for the first time after it became inevitable that Trump would win. I have two beer bottles now and I can't even fucking open them, so much for taking the edge off.

Why is it that I currently feel like that there is a god and ve really enjoys the mass suffering of humanity?

[Thanas]

WI goes red, it is over.

Trump also ahead in NH.

3) Do we have to wait until Jan 20th to draw up articles of impeachment?

As someone currently governed by Mike Pence, let me assure you that you do not want to do that. Trump is unpredictable; Pence is predictably evil.

[Mr Bean]

States outstanding not called are Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Maine.

[SCRawl]

I'm going to bed. I really hope that things get better by the time I wake up.

[Patroklos]

Some other things to analyze out of this:
1.) The big money candidate lost.
2.) The traditionally run campaign lost.
3.) The big media campaign lost (as in bought airtime)
4.) The ground game candidate lost.

That's something for anyone from any side running in 2018 needs take a long hard look at.

[Arthur_Tuxedo]

Given what Trump has said about climate change, we could be witnessing the solution to the Fermi Paradox.

[Elfdart]

Does this mean Bill Clinton can start dating again?
