That lone o was hard to find
Stats for the lone O?
It's os 7/28 for anyone else that might be wondering. My last word was ts. Good luck and have a great day everyone!
I am stuck on the mo/8. Can I get a clue please?

My condolences
It is a very sad day for America.
i am gutted
i just can't grasp the deep rooted misogyny and racism in this country, i thought we were over it
I'm speechless really I was very hopeful we'd be rid of him
It is worse than most people think it is
i guess it's as they say, you get the prez you deserve
he's not my president
i was using "you" in the general plural -- he's not my prez either
he's going to get golf clubs and a podium, the real presidents are the billionaires that paid for him
i was thinking that maybe it would have been better if biden lost the last one, then it would have been over by now
i was thinking the same thing
but alt history aside, i'm so depressed -- people at work are taking mental health days
I cried when I had to tell my daughter this morning
I can't even go through the motions today
and the senate too sad sad sad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLiagI\ndA84c this was a hopeful note from Jon Stewart
Here's two scarier thoughts... he may not leave this time, and if he dies in office it's president vance.. what the f is wrong with the voters?
I'm not scared that he won't leave, I think he's an orange puppet with scrambled eggs for brains, I'm afraid of the supreme court for the next 40 years
ditto mael
oh god.. I didn't even think of that mael.. that's frightening
I realized one thing last night, I'm likely to be drinking heavier this holiday season.
Posts in the chat in December: "Oh.. here comes old drunk ru"..."ru? have you been drinking?"
President Vance scares the living shit out of me
yes indeed... that's what we may have since Trump's everyone's favorite target lately
It's dementia that is going to get Trump. It is already.
The fact that that many people voted for a convicted felon says very sad things about this country.
And that is how I will refer to him from now on. President Felon.
I am glad and impressed that women came out in droves to vote against him. I don't understand the black, and latin vote. Lots of my neighbors have Trump signs in front of their house. Some of their "friends" are going to be deported?
good one Molly... if the shoe fits...
I don't understand the black and latino vote either.
how do you know that the women voted against him? IMHO, they may have voted for him, women do not support other women in many cases
they had great numbers of women sending in ballots early.. the assumption is they were mostly voting blue, but in Pennsylvania who knows? I thought Kamala had that state locked up by early returns.
I will never understand any woman who supports Trump
that is the real question Molly.. I don't get it either. They are setting women's rights back another hundred years
Thinking of the latino voters, they have to be naturalized to vote. Those that are going to be deported are the ones here illegally. So I can see why they woyld vote that way.
we've lost all sense of community
the deportation promise is the perfect example of that
Good point mael
here in California it's not like that.. we have tons of illegal workers, many of them hopelessly trying to get a green card for years and years and years.. those people have been paying taxes and are going to be the first to go
we'll be deporting our friends and neighbors, people who are integral to our communities
and for what?
and who will be doing those jobs? and paying those taxes?
the jobs will be outsourced so who wins there?
that's the rub.. no one will do those jobs
and we can kiss alt energy goodbye, climate action will be done in this country
most of my neighborhood is hispanic... btw...
The thing that terrifies me the most is not knowing how many of his votes came from people who don't care anymore, and how many came from the conspiratorial types
I know I'm probably in the minority, but I'm feeling more physically relieved now just because it's over. I hate the outcome, but at least the stress from worrying about the result was over. What I just can't get past is that *they already called it*. Last time it took several days to count the mail-in votes. We had mail-in votes this time too.
I'm also relieved that the feeling of uncertainty is gone, but I wanted it to be closer than it was
you don't feel more uncertain about our future?
I'm sure Putin is ecstatic for the results of this election as I'm sure Trump will eliminate aid to Ukraine.
I don't actually. I don't know why. Might be denial
There is a civil war in the country. Not a physical war, but where the enemies are divided, just like in a real war. There is a war on women's rights, human rights, the economh, social structures, judiiciary, and general hate crimes will soar.
Putin has actually declined to comment
true godth...hate crimes will be off the charts again
Putin just needs to reconnect those strings he hasn't used in a long time
am depressed this morning, but glad we voted and know we are not responsible for this debacle
Since I am "garbage," I am sad that it was as close as it was.
How you can vote for a person who has no care whatsoever for his fellow human beings is beyond me
I don't usually post in the chat but I'm so down this morning. Trying to lose myself in Babble. I wish it had 500+ words today so I could just hide here typing.
UD agreed - that's why i didn't vote for Biden or Harris
know how you feel, mama
morning all
hi mool
hey aloy
I'm worried about my family and friends. They're going to be hurt, lose healthcare, lose jobs.
If you are garbage knight you could move to Puerto Rico?
Only if you move there first
joining the blues parade with you all. we lost ranked choice voting here in NV as well - both the Ds and Rs campaigned heavily against it...
My zillennial son and his girlfriend are so disheartened. It kills me that she won't have the same rights I once had.
That was a joke knight
a poor one
Not really Dan there were garbage comments on both sides
fw..no use crying over spilt milk so I guess I'll get busy with chores. Happy Babbling!
no problem ru - I wouldn't wish a move to Puerto Rico on anyone.
ruru your 9:19am comment, i'm in PA .. i have no idea how that happened .. my wife is very upset ... i'm more concerned about my 9yo education going forward ... this is a huge game changer for education here
Have you ever been to Puerto Rico Knight?
No, thank goodness. No plans to ever go there.
BTW - I did not bring up Puerto Rico - Ru did.
ok everyone.. the puerto rico thing was a JOKE.. just trying to lighten up the chat. Knight is entitled to his opinion as far as I am concerned.
I have no opinion on Puerto Rico since I have never been there. Like Ru I was just jabbing back at his obvious joke.
Trump has actually said that he will deport even legal immigrants in some cases where he believes they are here due to Democrat trickery
anyone going to put Porn stars on notice?
Those supposedly "cat-eating" Haitians, for instance
Hi, friends. Sad day. It's good that this community exists.
I guess you would know more about that than I do, ru
my guess is you know about it as much as I do gillie
wishing you a good morning for everyone's well being - not because I think this is a great day :)
I honestly know nothing about porn, except that it exists in copious quantities
I don't know much about porn either... hence my comment..
oh - I guess you were joking about a particular porn star that Trump might want to deport
good morning Nan..
I thought you were suggesting that a lot of porn stars are immigrants
no.. just a joke about porn stars watching out for our president.... although it's doubtful Melania will get pregnant again so he can do it
Yeah, figured you hadn't been
I have, enjoyed it
enjoyed what mool Porn?
oh yes, and Puerto Rico
oh okay.. ha then
not at the same time though, just to be clear
:D
you've enjoyed Puerto Rico, or you enjoy Puerto Rico garbage comments?
my brother was big into porn...
I enjoyed Puerto Rico
Porn and Puerto Rico ... I never know what I will find in the chat when I get here
it's a beautiful day!
Porno Rico we should call it heretoforth
snowed here last night, first of the season
it really is too bad that Puerto Ricans don't get to vote, even though they pay taxes - so much for "no taxation without representation"
I get to pay taxes and can't vote
why can't you vote?
Puerto Ricans can RUN for president, but they can't VOTE for president.
weather wise ibuxx or politically for you?
Puerto Ricans only pay social security and medicare taxes
not a citizen...but non-citizens get to pay taxes, so I have that going for me
weather wise ibuxx or politically for you?
both Ru. Both.
sori
shoot.. sorry..
ok.. that's interesting.. as a woman why did you vote for him given all the agenda he and the supreme court and Republican party have against women's rights?
just curious
at least I don't have to see those political ads anymore
and the spam texts...I'm glad to be done with that
I don't think it was a vote against women's rights. Abortion was returned to the States - a vote for a democrat for President isn't going to change that. I also don't believe in Biden or Harris's agenda.
mool - excactly! I was getting like 15 of them a day...lol
not for women who live in texas
or florida
women are dying there due to the change in laws
or anywhere in the south who are too poor to travel
Idaho has some interesting laws
no kidding
You're dreaming if you think abortion was really returned to the states. I guarantee you the Republicans will pass a national abortion ban and Trump will sign it.
With all of the hideous things Trump has said about women it astounds me that any woman would vote for him
Why don't we just steal the election like we did in 2020?
I think so too Joy
I doubt that joy. He was the one that returned it to the States. If he was going to do something like that it would have happened.
dome
oops
sorry
Josseli Barnica, 28, and Nevaeh Crain, 18 died in Texas due to delays in getting miscarriage health care
um he was the one that overturned Roe vs Wade ibuxx
Actually Trump had no direct input on the case of abortion being "returned" to the States...that was the Supreme Court.
He was the one who stacked the Supreme Court with conservatives
Trump, as far as I can tell, actually isn't that invested in abortion...
Ru - yes I know. To return the decision to the States.
which he actively stacked (jinx gillie)
I know you doubt that, ibuxx, but you'll be eating your words in a year, or more, likely coming up with some reason why it's a good idea.
Well, stacking the Supreme Court was more Heritage Foundation and guys like Mitch McConnell Trump just went along with it
They're backing Trump because he "goes along with it"
Trump is interested in what's good for him
true
and what's good for all the $ who supported him
He really doesn't care about abortions one way or the other, but he's backed by extreme anti-abortionists
He's very attracted to fame and wealth
Everything else is really just a means to an end
and oligarchs
As John Kelly said (I'm paraphrasing here), he's easily manipulated and not very smart
okay ya'll.. lol
not it's fine.. it's a free country people can think what they want. I'm not criticizing anyone
Have you seen how many people he appointed to government positions now say that he's poison?
The super rich will continue to run this country and get all the benefits. The rest of us can just wait on them.
I agree, Molly. I think it's really Elon Musk and Peter Thiel who just got elected president.
I agree with Gillie. Also, his own personal life shows that he's not racist or homophobic -- he's CLASSIST. Case in point: it's true, when Jennifer Hudson's nephew was murdered, he let the family live in his tower rent-free for a while. BUT -- would he have done that with a black family who wasn't rich and/or famous?
that
I think the real challenge is going to be that Trump is going to have a very small pool of people to draw from to develop policies, and those folks are generally on the fringe. So we should be in for some fun times ahead
i gotta go to work.. nice discussion today without a lot of name calling
ditto on that ruru
GET TO WORK, YA JERK!
(just kidding)
jerk
hah!
serious question here - did you guys feel lied to about Biden's health? No arguing, just wondering.
most of my peeps at work are taking mental health day, i might too lol
ha..
what about Trump's mental decline ibuxx?
I really didn't like Biden, but he was obviously health challenged...as is Trump
have you listed to any of his rally speeches of late?
how is Trump challenged? guy's got more energy than me.
yes I have
Trump does now say that he believes character is genetic - and he has described immigrants in general, especially Mexican, as rapists and murderers. And he believes that he is a scientific expert, just because he has an uncle that taught at MIT
Do you not read the ridiculous things he has said?
he rambles and veers off subject to the weirdest shit ever
His mental sharpness is deteriorating
agreed.. he's losing it
He tells people that his rallies are packed to the rafters at rallies that are visibly half empty
This is further proof of people supporting Trump without any detailed knowledge of him and what he has said.
then there was that interesting townhall near Philly, where he just kind of danced
he always had a problem with size measurements gillie
for 40 minutes
That's really just normal him to me Gillie to be honest
The mental sharpness is more misnaming people, going into pauses at odd moments
Molly - exactly what you said but I'm on the opposing side. A lot of people think they know all these things about Trump but I think a lot of them just hear the media parroting insane things. Just my opinion.
not being able to remember that French fries are fried in a "fryer"
or how about saying that liz cheney should be put in front of a firing squad?
I don't doubt that running a campaign is taxing, but to me he looks like he's losing it a bit
honestly - I don't like politicians. Never have.
I have watched the videos of Trump saying these things
Yep, I have seen videos as well. This is not the media parroting anything.
Kamala has never suggested anything half as insane as the things Trump says
I long for the day we have a candidate under 70
like Kamala?
yes, I know Kamala is. but for a while both were not
ha, knew someone would say that
sooo.. on that he was describing Cheney as being a "war hawk" and suggested she may not be so pro-war if she was on the frontlines facing guns... Context ya'll.
It is going to take a long time for the "good old boy" network to fizzle out.
i like what jon stewart said (i think it was stewart), if your Grandpa started doing/saying such things you'll start looking for a nursing home
and it's okay to even suggest that she be put in front of a firing squad? I understand context, but there are ways to say something without suggesting violence or murderous actions
missig 3 7's and an 8 -- enough - hagd everyone
He's said he wants to lock up comedians who criticised him - like Jimmy Kimmel
Trump said (exact quote) she should see how it feels to have guns trained on her face. Context y'all.
Trump has been a liar and a cheat his whole adult life...did not like him when he was a Democrat cozy with the Clintons, and don't like him now. He just uses people for his own profit and fame, and he's got a long track record of doing that
At any rate, he's the president elect, so we're all in for some fun times ahead
You're not going to talk a Trump supporter out of supporting Trump, and even if you could it's too late. They'll wind up suffering along with the rest of us when prices for everything double because of tariffs, and hate crimes go through the roofs, and the construction, agriculture, landscaping and other industries go bust because there are no workers.
yep.. Because we all haven't been suffering already. Those things have been going on throughout this past administration. But you are correct Joy - I think we just see things a different way.
and the administration before the current one too for that matter :)
Trump is the one proposing huge new tariffs - and he denies that that will result in higher prices, even when speaking to financial experts who tell him that
He doesn't seem to understand that the consumers pay the tariffs
You are right Joy. And then they will blame all of Trump's idiocy on the media or someone else.
I work with Trump supporters and it is truly scary to listen to them. They have no clue what he is really about.
My daughter's married to a Ukrainian plus family. Feel very sorry for them
He is guilty of sexual harrasment !! 34 felonies for his businesses. He bankrupted 2 casinos. 14 other banrupcies at least. 35,00 documented lies. Now he will kill all those court case. How great this looks to other countries. Putin and Xi are ecstatic as they own him. This will be a long 4 yrs. I feel for thos long term immigrants that he will attempt to toss out.
Yeh, my Ukrainian friend is really worried. He thinks Trump will cut off aid.
But Mr Loser. He's going to Make America Great Again. (Loses lunch)
I'm curious to know what you think of January 6, ibuxx?
wait a sec.. you guys didn't answer my question. Fair is fair. Did you feel lied to about Biden's health after that debate?
I already said that Biden was obviously not mentally up for it
top 2 rows grey!
Biden evidently believed that he was still fit enough - but that doesn't matter. Biden wasn't running - Harris was
I felt lied to about both Biden and Trump's health. The different is that Biden dropped out.
Am I weird or has America always been great. Millions are trying to get in. No one is trying to cross border to get in China, Russia....etc. What a joke.His tariffs will bankrupt this country. Lawyers will make billions during his reign.
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor politics stays this Babbler from the swift finding of words"
No, I didn't feel lied to. Biden dropped out of the race for the good of his party.
Well it's largely due to economy and the ability for the local population to supply the workers. Russia does have some significant migration into the country, though their economy is a lot smaller and much more concentrated around a few industries like agriculture and oil
Jan 6th was not good at all. But I cannot describe it as an "insurrection".. I have seen multiple vids of police/security opening the doors & bringing people in. Also, there should have been MORE security like Trump requested.
and we were ALL lied to. Biden has been declining the entire time but we were crazy if we pointed it out. I felt bad for him.. pretty much elder abuse.
Wiping shit on the walls is not insurrection? And you keep saying that about the doors being opened, yes, the idiots who planned the Jan 6th crap paid off police to help them out. So?
China is still a developing economy, and also far more populous than the US, their salaries are not as high as a developed country like the US
Have you seen the videos of police being bashed by poles? Do you remember that one women was shot after trying to climb through a shattered window into the barricaded speaker's lobby?
Wow, lets just hope that Trump doesn't set up a Trump supporter base camp in Guyana.
No doubt she was just a polite tourist
No. Wiping shit on the walls is not insurrection. Definitely bad taste though.
phantom: system
"hang Mike Pence"...not insurrection??
3rd row grey!
insurrection...definition...a violent uprising against an authority or government
nice one hursh
go, hursh!
Someone has her fingers in her ears and is singing "La La La"
i'm following the example of PG Wodehouse lol
lol...
I had to look him up hurshy, wondered if he made washing machines :)
though British, he was living in France when the Nazis invaded. they arrested him and put him in some kind of prison, where he carried on writing his silly stories
and even if he wasn't directly responsible for Jan 6th, he also did not say Stop, people, go home
Nor, as acting President, did he call out The National Guard.
then he got sort of in trouble for being tricked into a broadcast that wasn't great to do, only because he wasn't, you know, savvy enough to understand he was being used and stuff, resulting in his living the rest of his life in exile in the US after the war, because the UK people were mad at him. but really i mean, he just fell for a scam because he didn't really LIVE in the real world, he lived in the world in his head, so it was most unfortunate.
can i get stats for the right column O?
os7/28
ty...
Well, that was surprising.
shirlockc are you still here? That link you posted doesn't work. Do you have another?
hmmm the jon stewart link?
i think if you google Jon Stewart’s Election Night Takeaway | The Daily Show, you'll get it, it's on youtube
yes, that one.
and thx hurshy for the os7, i actually got it
“I know your pain, I know you’re hurt,†Trump said. “But you have to go home now, we have to have peace. We have to have law and order, we have to respect our great people in law and order.â€
that link didn't work, and I'm seeing a bunch of current Jon Stewart stuff on youtube. Just wondering what you posted.
phantom: sorority
that's lovely ibuxx, but that does not erase all the hateful things he said -- china flu? my friends were harassed on the subway
he could have said stop ANY time and never did
he did, eventually, but not until long after he was asked to do so
while continuing to insist that the election was stolen
so I prove that you're wrong and you just keep on going. that's okay too...lol I'd just like us all to get along again. I'm sure we are all lovely people. I've got my views, you have yours. It's a free country :-)
i voted after dark yesterday and there were people still outside the polling place holding signs for LOCAL candidates for our town. so i said to a couple of the guys doing that, "i hope your candidate is going to give you a really good dinner for this!"
you claim that it wasn't a violent insurrection, but there was plenty of violence, and the House had to be evacuated by Capitol police
He also “So go home. We love you. You’re very special"...after the damage was done...that's condemning rioters?
taking a break....bye all...
i should have followed my own policy of not discussing politics
Trump spent most of the riot enjoying watching it on TV
This will be my only comment on the election. As someone not eligible to vote, it amazes me that the morals of so many Trump voters align so closely to Trump's morals that it allowed him to win by such a wide margin.
I will disagree with lbuxx. It is no longer a free country. Especially if you are a woman.

I have been playing since 2005. @mollyl Why did you clear the chat yesterday?
Never seen that before. Was it a necessity that the owner of this site told you to do?
I'm just Molly not @molly. And I cleared the chat because someone posted something that blew the chat width.
clue for the first mi7 pls?
nm, just monkeyed it
A seriously sad day for this country. a rapist and convicted felon elected to the white house. it beggars belief. i feel like we are living in a bizarro universe
You aren't the only one stunned by this morning's news, gin -- people in other countries are also wondering what's happening in the USA
the last time the orange hog felon was in office, most of his appointees, his so-called only the best people, were mostly found guilty of various crimes and given prison sentences. This time around, he has said he will suspend future elections, dismantle the Constitution and will remain dictator for the remainder of his life, miserable sod.
it is inconceivable to me how wny sany person could have voted for such a creature.
any
