I hope you all took some time out today to give Obama's speech in Athens a hearing...

I figure I'm going to feel sorry for Hillary for at least a year. (Not to mention the country.) She would've made the VERY BESTEST of U.S. Presidents.
I had the oppo today to listen to a couple of her speeches from the early 90s. I was impressed as ever. Caring. "Whipsmart". A master negotiator and deal-maker (how ironic). Experienced.
...
I wish Trump America the best.

Apparently Crankster has no interest in replying to my question.
...
As far as I'm concerned, (1) the Great Hillary Clinton (both 1990s and now presently) was ahead of her time; (2) she paid the price for it.
My opinion of course.
Others may disagree.

Crankster,
That's right, if you had taken the time to watch the 60 Minutes Trump piece with L Stahl.
If yes, I was going to ask you what you thought of his apparent, very obvious change of mode, also if you thought there could (possibly) be any silver lining to this "national tragegy." (a silver lining perhaps akin to America dropping two atomic bombs on Japan during WWII?)
But perhaps the moments gone if you know what I mean.
Besides, his recent considerations for admin appointments are rather scary to say the least.

Some blame for Hillary's loss in the electoral college can be put on Hillary and her staff, a huge red flag should have when up went Bernie beat her very soundly in Michigan.

In the last couple weeks, I think a few factors weighed signif in addition to all 50 plus others... the D Brazile deal, the ACA premium hike, the Comey affair. Just these three together... given such a close race... could've been the straw on the camel's back. It's a shame.
....
I mean just the striking change in demeanor in the 60 Minutes piece. I wasn't the only one to notice. It kind of reminded me of a chameleon. Which was at once kind of reassuring and also unsettling. Strange.

How you doing Dingus? I'm presently out... winter camping... in a tent... believe it or not... in one of your favorite stomping grounds... Alpine Co. How do you like them apples? :)
I've already called it... my post-election relief retreat. har har!
A murder of coyotes yapping in the distance as I post. (Or is it a gaggle? Or a school? Or a gang?)
...
Anyways, I expect a beautiful sunrise in the morning. In America.
Life goes on.
....
what a trooper!
she's already out doing her thing, if you can believe it...

I say a well-deserved tribute in 2020... from President M Obama or President G Newsom: the Medal of Freedom to Hillary Rodham Clinton. :)

"you can't be citing japanese internment camps for anything the president elect is going to do...":
[Click to View YouTube Video]
regarding megan kelly's assertion: why not?
the existing "liberal" president can assassinate american citizens via remotely directed drone attack as long as said citizens are not within u.s. borders... and there is no public review, no public access to the nuts and bolts, and so therefore no legitimate oversight.
are knickers really being twisted by suggesting muslim immigrants should be put on a list?
to my eyes, it seems like only a logical follow up, given the thinking and philosophy behind what has already been put in place.

You are out "winter camping" and posting on ST?
Lol, and with the exception of whatever might have happened last night, "winter" was no where to be found in Idaho even if you were looking across the border into Canada.
+1 for donations to the ACLU.
And I thought the NRA scare tactics were bad.....

Does it get more l00zerish than that? Those apples you speak of should be shoved up your a*#....if they aren't there already
Questions...
(1) What does 100zerish mean?
(2) I'll be in Red Rock in a week. You want to come down and climb Epi with me? I'll be looking for a partner. If yes, I'll pull out one of those apples just for you.
what say you, spud?
....
Again, I hope everyone got a chance to watch Obama's speech in Athens. It's really hard to imagine Donald Trump at least at this point in time giving such a speech. It was really AMAZING. It was really TERRIFIC!
PS
17 degrees right now, 28 in the tent, just checked; and slept snug as a bug in my 21st century state of the art system. :)

These Missteps Not Undone
There's been a theme to my dreams of late
How could I know the world would be so full of hate
I've been remiss and joined briefly with the coming tide
Before too long I saw there was no place to hide
That's when I lost my way
And there might not come another day
To find refuge from this storm
Where dog eat dog is now the norm
So here is all that I have left to say
Where once was hope in the brand new day
Now is only endless pain and toil
And these thunderclouds that roil
On an horizon without the sun
For what it is that we have done
There is no history writ in stone
Of such magnitude of unleashed holocausts
What would strip way the flesh of men
And leave helpless to the winds of time
All earth's multitudes down to the bone

I gotta say, it is insightful... and rather confirming... to compare the average R posts on this site and thread to the average D posts.
But that sounds kinda "elitist" on reflection, maybe I should delete?
hmm.
lol
