Well, the DOW and the Dollar are already starting to crash.  Maybe the US didn't want UK or the Philipines to feel so alone in their Xenophobia and Racism so they trashed their county like a good friend.

See - this is what we're talking. Leftists have no clue. Trying to shame or bully people to embrace their ideologies.

Yes, shaming and bullying. It's been out of control. Constantly play the racist card and on white guilt.

It's sickening to see the fear campaign that was just launched in my country, just like after Brexit, in order to prepare the people for the EU's upcoming obstruction tactics against America. Media here is absolute nuts right now. Filled with sycopaths.

It went overnight from shaming and bullying to fear and guilt.

It's disgusting to see this totalitarian mindset, the total disrespect shown towards ordinary people and their worries and anxiety.

Got my Popcorn ready. Let's the new tv reality show begin. So, time for the next prediction threads: How fast can we cut health insurance for 25 million people.
How fast can we build a wall to Mexico.

The most important question is how long until Hillary Clinton gets put into jail?

Jail? She'll get the guillotine for sure.

Germany has no say in this.

Just like in the 30's trying to rule over others and behaves like a bully in Europe, especially against its smaller Slavic neighbors. Meanwhile it can't even protect its own female citizens on New Year's Eve.

Europe is tired of Germany's superior attitude.

Well now you know how Canada and Mexico feel.

That's not the image I have had, that Canada and Mexico feel their neighbor is a big bully. From a purely neighbor perspective I think they largely feel they have a stable and reliable nation at the other side of the border.

Well now you're describing Germany again. That obsession with yours and Germany has to stop.

He didn't just win, he CRUSHED her.

Americans are smart! Proud of you, chaps!

Did the US force Canada and Mexico to accept refugees? Or force policies in general over its neighbours?

I don't know. Are Mexico and Canada in a Union with the US and partly financed by them?

But this is getting off topic. Let's just be glad that I chose the correct country to be born in.

This is perhaps the single biggest polling failure since the 1948 election. While polling averages were quite accurate the last several presidential elections, this one failed miserably, at least in one particular region. While polling averages in Virginia and Colorado were correct, and Hillary did a bit better than expected in Nevada, but the Rust Belt was a total bust for Hillary. The Democratic candidate won PA, WI, and MI in every single election from 1992 to 2012, and polling averages showed Hillary sustaining that trend with a solid lead outside the margin of error in those three states, yet it appears Trump managed to flip them in the biggest upset in decades, just barely (we still need 100% of the results in to get a final measure because of how close they are), but a slim plurality is still a plurality. I don't think anybody saw this coming. Also, the gap was noticeably bigger in Ohio and Iowa than the polls suggested. So, something went uniquely wrong with the polling in the Rust Belt. What that is, I don't know. But what I do know is that I'm about to mentally check out. I'm going to lie down, watch some anime, and hope and pray to God that Trump doesn't burn down the fucking country between now and 2020.

It's the same as we have with our nationalist party here in Sweden and similar to Brexit. People are simply afraid to admit in polls that they support the nationalist (or "populist") option in fear of getting labeled as a racist or xenophobe, so polls constantly underestimate the nationalist sentiments.

That's what the constant guilt and shaming by the left has done in our beautiful democracies. People are afraid of telling their true opinions.

Like yesterday at work. I work in a hospital and currently at a psychiatric clinic. The nurses, secretaries and everyone in our group were talking about the US election all day and worried. Everyone openly said they were terrified about Trump and worried because the polls were so close. "I'm terrified", "It is so horrible", "He is so terrible".

And then a nurse asked me, what do I think about the election. I said "I support Trump, obviously". Awkward silence.

You're just not allowed to have certain opinions in today's society. Freedom of speech and freedom of thought is under threat.

The stock market will crash first. It won't be a pretty thing.

Um, that started already and DOW and Nasdac have already put in stops to slow down the crashing tomorrow.

So can we plan for WW3 maybe by next Friday?  I want to make sure I finish some project first.

*Sigh* You do realize this is literally the same situation as Brexit, where people bought based on what they thought Clinton will do and are now sellling cause she isn't President.  It's not "oh NO!  Trump is President!" It's just a plain old ordinary "oh shit, called that one wrong."  When major political moves go different than expected, stock slumps are not uncommon as traders try to trade in anticipation of where the market is going and if it goes the other way, they sell and that drives it down.

But no, let's just go full panic and ignore how markets work.

Nice try, but that's what is happening.  Good luck with your recession/depression.

Still waiting on that UK recession....

Wait until the official talks over brexit start. Right now there had only been an non-binding referendum, hence why everyone is still playing the waiting game
