    exactly. It's almost like oldfella turned his password over to gturner on election night.

    You're either a liar or an idiot (as well as a wife beating child hater)

    Now, do I need to somehow prove to you that 1981 happened between 1980 and 1988?

    oldfella's the guy who, after hearing you explain everything in excruciating detail, shakes his head and wonders why anyone can't just answer his question. He's not interested in being informed, he just wants a wall to bitch towards, and some buddies who will agree with him. I'm not sure yet, however, whether gturner is the buddy or the wall.

    Better question:

    If Hillary had won and the Repubs did a walkout with not my president signs and a few universities made safe rooms with crayons and such and cancelled some tests would the left make fun of them?

    Being that I've been a memeber here at WF for a decade I think the answer is a yes. :yes: I also believe that they would be calling all of them racist and so on, just because they are Trump supporters.

    Undoubtedly some are, but the vast majority are not and it is sad to see that we are dividing ourselves this much more.

    I say we aren't post WWI Germany, but if we are going to keep dividing ourselves we might as well be. :( That's makes me sad. I voted Johnson, but then again i would stand up to protect all, not just other Johnson supporters.

    And the Dems and Repubs aren't acting like they would.

    Phone is screwing up in the heat of the sauna so that is all I'll be saying for awhile.

    It was reported in U.S. News & World Report in 1980.

    Referring to post #31 I am not "butt hurt over winning" but I am pissed off about the student walkouts. If you are going to school, school is your job. Or maybe you can stage a protest on the weekend - you know, on your free time. Hey kids - how about your parents stage a walkout in the middle of their work day? See how that plays out.

    I think oldfella's actually been playing it cool with the racism and partisan fuckery all these years, and now that Trump's won he's testing the waters for coming out as a full-blown deplorable. :shrug:

    yeah I was going to ask about the phone in the sauna but I'm old - maybe this is normal for the younger crowd. Actually I have never been in a sauna - living in hot humid Georgia I'm already in one about six months out of the year anyway, so what's the point?

    Yeah we get it, they want a woman who literaly comitted murder and treason to be president. We understand.

    Not only do we support these walk-outs for removing themselves from the vicinity of the students who want an education, but we offer them a ride to a cliff where they may continue walking ...

    Even if it were compelling, keep your but in the seat. School is not the place for politics.

    Oh look, it's the guy that stop whining about treason, but who also can't define it....

    Regardless, the election's over, and Hillary isn't gonna be president of anything, ever. You want to keep defending Trump, you need to come up with a new shtick. :shrug:

    ...and the irony is that none of that is hyperbole--it's completely true. Our President Elect is cooler than Buckaroo Banzai.

    That's not what irony means, fyi.

    That's contradiction, or contrast, or coincidence.

    Irony means a word thought to mean one thing but actualy means another. Like a devil offering a contract to a Lady where she wins her love, in exchange for her hand; everyone assumes that mens her hand will be cut off, when in fact it means "her hand" in marriage. THAT'S irony.

    Hillary made a deal with the devil where she became the Democratic nominee in return for her soul.

    Now he's extremely pissed off because when he went to collect he found out that she never had one. :bergman:

    I really want to find the full speech she made because I want to see the bit where the Trump kids and the great Dane pull off the mask and go "Old man Soros!?" and he goes "And I'd have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

    Personally I care not a wit about these morons wasting their own money (or their parents') by staging walkouts. I will, however, remind them of this when it comes to the subject of their future being fucked up. :diacanu:

    But school is the place for teaching the political process. I want kids to have their ass in their seat involved in what the social studies/political science teachers are putting out in an unbiased manner. If some of the kids are so riled up or upset as I said, they can stage their protests on the weekend.

    Just like the 25 scandals (but who's keeping score among friends, right?) involving Hillary are grounded in reality, and you don't see or understand them.
