So, will we get a pathological liar and narcissist or a Wallstreet puppy as the next leader of the free world? Thoughts?

I'd vote for "None of the above", but there you go. I'm glad I haven't got to make that decision.

I typically close political topics, but since this is SUCH a big thing (seemingly!) I'll leave it open until it feels necessary to close it.

.. So, about 10 minutes, then!?

Dunno, you have on one hand, someone with actual political experience but not liked by many people. On the other, someone who thinks its a good idea to not pay taxes and has no actual policy about anything.
Hopefully the American public with go with unpopular rather than just plain nuts. But stranger things have happened before, just look what happened over here.

I have no real interest in this other then that I follow it on facebook and the news. This night I will be watching the outcome. Cbs has a channel on the internet that can be watched freely. But they have lots of reruns of items though.

So on the one side, we've got a man who is a sexist, misogynist, racist, facing charges of fraud and child rape, and is a multi-billionaire yet has never paid a dime in taxes. On the other side, is a woman who once deleted some emails.

It's a bit of a no-brainer really, isn't it?

America, we've been friends for a couple of hundred years now, but you're a god damn idiot.

Hopefully congress wont let him do anything stupid. But then, as Helen pointed out to me, it's probably not what he'll do officially that will be the problem, it's going to be the stupid things he's going to say on live TV, speaking as the official voice of America.

It's a sad day for politics.

Much like how Brexit wasn't about Racism.
The first few weeks were scary times, with news reports of some truly terrible behaviour from the idiots who believed they'd "won" and that racism was perfectly fine.
For a while, there, I was getting frequent emails from my ex-co-workers about the shit they were putting up with in the shop.
Not nice times.

It wasn't about Brexit winning, to these people. It was about THEM winning, and THEIR VIEWS winning.

"President Trump" might not be the end of the world..
And I'm sure some people voted for Trump in the same way that a lot of people voted "let's get out of the EU", and nothing to do with the racist/homophobic views that have since become attached to it.

but I fear for a Brexit-like display of the worst of humanity.
And in America...

And there you go. President Trump.

Let's see what happens next.

FML. The US has spent years hunting the likes of Bin Laden, Hussain, al-Qaeda, ISIS, then they go and put this asshat in the White House.

America is fucked. We're all fucked.

If I were Donald Trump I'd be staying away from grassy knolls. Shit's gonna go down I reckon when the dust has settled.

Well Trump wants to keep foreign people out while Clinton is so laid-back that she probably would have let ISIS eventually take over the country, just like the dumb government in the UK is doing; so whoever got in, the US is fucked either way.

Politics is a load of shiite anyway, I most probably won't even bother voting next time the UK election comes around.

Here's what Lily Allen has to say on the matter... All I can say though is good luck to the US, you're gonna need it; the whole world's probably gonna need it!

Thing is the vote is already final; so if anyone is dead against Trump then the only solution would be to make him the next JFK, either that or they should stop Trumping-on about it!

I doubt that'll happen.
As much as people might disagree with the decision, people are .. mostly.. sane enough not to take it too far.

Meanwhile, the secret service are going to be fairly busy making sure it doesn't happen!!
