Yes one guy was killed and multiple more injured. (cali i think)


Yeah something like that. So yup.. Be safe.

I guess that's another upside of Trump winning, because i was convinced, that if Hillary would've won, .. Well, it wouldn't have been a pleasant night especially in rural areas of the US.

Thats nothing out of the ordinary.


Guess that's where "relativity" really comes to shine.

Exception of course being people who actually made money betting on the election.

It's the same bullshit as Brexit. They don't care they just want funny shit to happen for their entertainment.

And this is pretty funny.


As a european, partially true. I personally also see opportunity in President Trump for other countries to get their shit together and not just point their guns in the direction the US tells them to.

Because, if anything changes, it'll be foreign relationships. And not for the better (in regards to the US - for the rest of the world it might be a different story).

Surely you recognize that this will have to be paid for by European countries.

Should I take all my money out of 401k? Serious question... I'm not happy about tonight's results, but I don't want to get fucked either...

this is probably the dumbest thing you can do. i will be dipping into my emergency fund to buy. make some money off people's stupidity, dont be the stupid person.

When you say money, are you just holding cash? If so then it makes no sense to cash out. Even if you have index funds, the reason you hold them is to mitigate risk through diversification.

i hold significant cash in an emergency fund. i will be dipping into it to take advantage of this dip because it (like all things) will pass. i normally buy 1st and 15th, but people should seriously consider taking advantage of this dip. i will replenish the emergency fund at the end of the month when i would normally invest.

To each their own but...a large emergency fund is one of the most common financial recommendations that I just never understood. What emergency can you think of where you would immediately need a large chunk of liquid cash.

Insurance deductables of 15k

Jesus that is a large deductible.

Yes.

Cmon now, thread favorite 538 says Clinton has a 21% chance of winning. There's still enough uncounted votes, very much down to a handful of counties that could've broken hard for Clinton with high turnout.

538 only accounts for completely called states and treats everything that's not called, no matter how big the lead as undecided

Haha, yes, that captures it perfectly. Good thing Jeb wasn't as good at rigging the primary in his favor.

You said that this will be an opportunity for countries to get their shit together. Rather than pay "their equal share" as Trump will likely insist upon, they can defend themselves without doing what America tells them to do.

So now instead of arms from America at Americans cost it will be arms from Europe at European cost.

Is there any information about voter turnout, especially age groups?

I wonder if Bernie would've done better than Hillary. In all fairness though, Trump by "definition" was hard to beat, mainly because he justified his open racism etc by telling people "i'm just not politically correct" - and people swallowed that. There's a huge amount of people who reacted/voted based on that alone, regardless of his "policies".

I just wonder if the DNC fucked themselves by fucking Bernie.

You're rather delusional if you think that the US will give up their bases in europe. Especially considering that many of your drone operations are actually orchestrated and piloted from germany.

That being said, what trump insists is intersting, i'd consider the fact that the only country ever to push others into war based on the "mutual defense clause" really doesn't get to complain about people not carrying their share.
