[00:00:56] <cmn32480> for Trump
[00:01:02] <cmn32480> Vermont for Clinton
[00:01:19] <Deucalion> well chicken wings for hands.... kinda makes sense :)
[00:01:21] <cmn32480> Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia up in the air
[00:01:30] <Deucalion> not chickens then
[00:01:34] <cmn32480> yup yup
[00:02:11] <Deucalion> Are you going to blow by blow every return cmn32480 ?
[00:02:21] <cmn32480> keep in mind, polls have close in those states <5 minutes ago
[00:02:43] <cmn32480> no
[00:02:49] <cmn32480> but now FatPhil can go to bed
[00:03:21] <Deucalion> FatPhil is omnipresent
[00:03:44] <cmn32480> but I can play by play if you want
[00:04:57] <SirFinkus> no shocks yet
[00:05:02] <SirFinkus> shit we already knew
[00:05:39] * cmn32480 put beer in the freezer next to the vodka... no idea which one I'm gonna need alter

[00:10:25] <Deucalion> cmn32480, probably only the vodka will be unfrozen by the time the result is in. I wish luck to the USA and all that sail in her on this day.... that is one choice I wouldn't want to have to put a tick on.
[00:12:13] <cmn32480> vodka doesn't freeze
[00:12:30] <cmn32480> beer was warm, so needed to be cooled quick
[00:12:39] <SirFinkus> yes
[00:13:42] <chromas> You're just not trying hard enough
[00:14:23] <Deucalion> I did say... "only the vodka will be unfrozen by the time the result is in". The only way to drink vodka is straight from the freezer.... only twats keep it at room temperature
[00:15:50] <FatPhil> predictable states are slightly predictable
[00:16:50] <FatPhil> fl looks interesting
[00:17:52] <cmn32480> you are correct Deucalion. I misread
[00:18:21] <cmn32480> FL is gonna be a gigantic clusterf**k

[00:19:59] <Deucalion> cmn32480, I'll let you off given the excitement you must be feeling over exactly which way things can go so very badly. Vote here for your representation from this Binary choice of....
[00:20:18] * Deucalion stops there and reins in cynicism
[00:21:28] <cmn32480> Deucalion - it's a gigantic cluster.... and I went 3rd party
[00:22:58] <Deucalion> yada yada WASTED VOTE or something..... /me shoots the cynical stallions going buts in the stalls.... :D
[00:23:16] <Deucalion> nuts*
[00:24:21] <FatPhil> as if voting for the big 2 isn't a wasted vote too.
[00:26:20] * Deucalion has no preference for which way the vote goes. I'm just watching in morbid fascination.
[00:28:01] <cmn32480> nah.. voting 3rd party this time around gives them a really good shot at being on esainane_ qual footing next round

[01:44:20] <SirFinkus> so the electoral college is kind of weird now, since after 200 a bunch of states said they'd change their electoral votes to if the other guy won the popular votes
[01:44:22] * takyon_ drinks a little whiskey and watches the erection
[01:44:24] <SirFinkus> it's a think I think
[01:45:03] <takyon_> I don't think that ever went anywhere sirfinkus
[01:45:08] <cmn32480> SirFinkus - that hasn't gone into effect yet
[01:45:12] <SirFinkus> I know
[01:45:20] <SirFinkus> I'm saying if the electoral shit happens
[01:45:28] <takyon_> that would require a constitutional convention rite
[01:45:31] <SirFinkus> like trump wins popular vote, and hillary wins electoral
[01:45:34] <SirFinkus> I don't think so
[01:45:37] <cmn32480> the treaty(?) only take s effect after enough states to carry the entire electoral college have signed on
[01:45:45] <cmn32480> nope
[01:45:50] <SirFinkus> pretty sure it's up to the states
[01:45:51] <SirFinkus> since some states have different systems
[01:45:56] <cmn32480> takyon- the electoral college is controlled by the states
[01:46:01] <SirFinkus> one state has split electoral votes iirc
[01:46:12] <takyon_> well one state may be switching to ranked choice
[01:46:14] <takyon_> Maine
[01:46:39] <cmn32480> it is up to state laqw how the votes get split, so if they decide that they are goint o put their votes to the national winner of the popular vote, it is doable at the state level
[01:47:10] <SirFinkus> it'd be the luzliest outcome
[01:47:17] <cmn32480> SirFinkus - think you are right, but I don't know which one
[01:47:29] <SirFinkus> something in the northeast
[01:47:33] <takyon_> well regardless

[02:51:43] <takyon_> Louisiana for Trump? lel
[02:51:54] <takyon_> as for Florida, I don't think they counted Miami Dade yet
[02:52:03] <takyon_> which would put it bck in Clitnon territory
[02:52:13] <takyon_> and me back in drunk territory
[02:53:29] <cmn32480> NCommander - you are clairevoyant... Fox just said the same thing
[02:54:38] * cmn32480 wonders which user in here is Fox News....
[02:54:47] <NCommander> the bot
[02:55:55] <NCommander> cmn32480, looking, Miami is mostly reported. Trump is leading by two points. I really hope this isn't a repeat of 2000
[02:56:49] <cmn32480> 575 votes in one Florida county determines everything?
[02:56:58] <takyon_> ORLY?
[02:57:00] <cmn32480> yeah.... we are in complete agreement
[02:57:06] <cmn32480> that was the delta in 2000
[02:57:39] Bytram|away is now known as Bytram
[02:57:40] <cmn32480> the hanging chads... and they were the last county to report
[02:57:57] <cmn32480> Fox called Virginia for CLinton
[02:58:02] <Bytram> well, they were going to do another full recount but the scotus said nope.
[02:58:18] <Bytram> (back in 2000, that is)
[02:58:38] <NCommander> I'm partially hoping McMullin will take Utah and cause it to drop out of the race, which will deny either candidate 270. That will send the vote to the house, who very much dislikes both candidates right now
[02:59:40] <cmn32480> this crap is why we need a "None of the Above"
[03:00:04] <NCommander> cmn32480, we could start an effort to try and get a constitution amendment passed for just this :)
[03:00:07] * NCommander is semi-serious
[03:00:48] <cmn32480> NCommander - I believe that there are several efforts for it already. Problem is that the state legislatures see it as a threat to them, same as term limits
[03:01:32] <NCommander> cmn32480, limit it to the wording of federal elections :), states are free to set their own rules in their constituion. Quite a few states for instance do run-off polling
[03:01:59] <Bytram> I'm curious as to how Maine's referendum on ranked-voting pans out... if that can get a toe-hold, it could make a big change down the line
[03:02:07] <cmn32480> yep... interesting... definetly never get passed in Congres
[03:02:14] <cmn32480> have to be a convention of the states
[03:02:25] <NCommander> cmn32480, yeah. That requires a lot of work and effort
[03:02:33] <cmn32480> yeah
[03:02:47] <NCommander> Considering Article V Section II has never succeeded
[03:02:54] <NCommander> It came very damn close in the 70s
[03:02:58] <takyon_> I think they explained how Florida could still go to Clinton
[03:03:03] <NCommander> (Balanced Budget Amendment)
[03:03:03] <cmn32480> there are a bunch of states that have already voted for a convention for other amendments. Balanced Budget, and one other that I can't remember that is big
[03:03:14] <Bytram> early voting on SN issues impressed on me the value of other methods besides first-past-the-post, which we have now and which tends to make all voting become two-party; ranked voting can break that stranglehold.
[03:03:36] <takyon_> yes ranked voting is great
[03:03:39] <NCommander> Bytram, there's a statistics model that shows first-past-the-post will almost always end up in a two party system
[03:03:42] <takyon_> the best thing for third party candidates
[03:04:06] <NCommander> Really weird that New York has paper ballots again
[03:04:08] <Bytram> as for the state of the voting atm... knowing now, or in 12 or 24 hours ain't gonna change my life that much; I'll find out when I find out and not waste time trying to read the tea leaves early.
[03:04:10] <NCommander> I'm used to the mechnical voting machines
[03:04:17] <cmn32480> MAryland too
[03:04:31] <NCommander> Oregon does it all by mail
[03:04:31] <Bytram> NCommander: has been a long time since I read about that stuff; thanks for the confirmation
[03:04:35] <Bytram> nodnod
[03:04:35] <cmn32480> like the old school scan-tron sheets from school tests
[03:04:43] <Bytram> ^^^ what I used
[03:04:46] <SirFinkus> what I think
[03:04:47] <NCommander> cmn32480, yeah thats what we had too
[03:04:52] <SirFinkus> is that they should send out an email
[03:04:56] <NCommander> Damn thing was massive
[03:05:07] * chromas knows what comes next
[03:05:07] <SirFinkus> and that we should put a number in between brackets to determine our votes
[03:05:10] <cmn32480> because the touch screen machines had proven unreliable, and hackable
[03:05:17] <SirFinkus> but NOT edit the body of the email
[03:05:20] <NCommander> I don't think New York ever had those
[03:05:33] <cmn32480> i think
[03:05:36] <Bytram> what gets me about electronic voting, is that a computer could be used to gather the vote, and output the person's vote onto a scan-tron page for the voter to review, approve, and submit -- AS THEIR OFFICIAL VOTE.
[03:05:39] <NCommander> I think we went mechanical to paper. I didn't vote in 2008; was out of the country unexpectedly
[03:06:00] <Bytram> allows for stupid-simple recounts, no worry about machine hacking throuwing the election
[03:06:32] <Bytram> IOW the computer is the UI, and the scan-tron output is the actual product -- the actual vote
[03:06:33] <NCommander> NYT is at 68% expected trump win, but hiliary winning popular vote
[03:06:50] <NCommander> Bytram, I never understood why they didn't do it that way, but whatever
[03:06:54] <Bytram> cmn32480: congrats ont he "day of cmn32480"
[03:06:54] <cmn32480> stupid computer disconnected me
[03:07:00] <cmn32480> lol
[03:07:02] <cmn32480> thanks
[03:07:11] <Bytram> I did look for breaking news... =)
[03:07:22] <SirFinkus> that NYT prediction page is hilarious
[03:07:29] <SirFinkus> the meters updating several times a second
[03:07:31] <SirFinkus> I call bullshit
[03:07:34] * NCommander honestly thinks Trump is ahead in Florida
[03:08:07] <SirFinkus> well, he is
[03:08:14] <NCommander> at 97% reported
[03:08:19] <NCommander> sorry meant to say he'll take it
[03:08:20] <takyon_> 538's model still has Trump with less than 30% chance of winning the election
[03:08:28] <takyon_> as in the updated model that uses results
[03:08:37] <takyon_> https://fivethirtyeight.com
[03:08:39] <SirFinkus> nyt at 73%
[03:08:54] <NCommander> I think they're updating in real time based on exit polls

[03:09:54] <NCommander> I had a machine out of service
[03:10:43] <NCommander> Initial results for AZ, Trump looks like he won it
[03:10:48] <takyon_> OH WAIT
[03:11:01] <takyon_> FiveThirtyEight just switched it to 55% Clinton, 45% Trump
[03:11:22] <takyon_> actually 60-38 just now
[03:11:28] <takyon_> Trump can win this
[03:11:33] <takyon_> RIOTS
[03:11:41] <takyon_> LET'S GET SOME RIOTS!!! WOOHOOOO
[03:11:57] <NCommander> I kinda expected this to happen. Lot of people hate Hilitary enough to vote for Trump but won't admit it
[03:12:59] <takyon_> voters WITH white SKIN
[03:13:28] <takyon_> if trump wins this i'm going to have to see what /pol/ looks like. probably a meltdown
[03:15:15] <NCommander> Fuck, we'll likely get a meltdown on the site
[03:15:24] <cmn32480> oh it'll be a bloodbath

[03:51:42] * NCommander honestly can't help but stare
[03:51:53] <Bytram> who's calling it for trump?
[03:51:57] <takyon_> people believe Trump could win Pennsylvania
[03:52:17] <cmn32480> NCommander - face it. We were pretty screwed either way
[03:52:28] <takyon_> hey look
[03:52:30] <NCommander> cmn32480, there was even money the country would survive Hilary.
[03:52:37] <khallow> Eh, not too worried here. It will be a mess no matter who wins
[03:52:42] <takyon_> I preferred a Clinton win, but a Trump win will be very interesting
[03:52:51] <takyon_> I relish chaos
[03:52:57] <cmn32480> make sure you got a good supply of Popcorn
[03:53:03] <Bytram> as in the ancient curse: "May you live a long and interesting life" ??
[03:53:09] <takyon_> yea
[03:53:15] <cmn32480> pretty much
[03:53:16] <takyon_> I'm also into anti-aging
[03:55:07] <takyon_> 538 has Clinton with 50% chance of winning, Trump with 48%
[03:56:46] <khallow> interesting, takyon. NYT is almost calling it for Trump
[03:57:14] <khallow> 94% chance on the ole Win-o-meter now
[03:57:42] <takyon_> 48% is practically calling it for Trump given how anemic his numbers used to be
[03:58:28] <takyon_> CBSN is showing what celebs like Lady Gaga and Kourtney Kardashian tweeted/instagrammed earlier
[03:58:35] <takyon_> I can't wait to see their butthurt tomorrow
[03:58:40] <Bytram> one thing is pretty certain, from how I see it, if the election is NOT called for Trump, he'll use everything he can to challenge the results. Just because it's over doesn't mean it's over. :P
[03:59:00] <Bytram> he's already been prepping for it since the last pres debate
[03:59:17] <khallow> I agree. But there's rapidly diminishing returns when you go to court.
[03:59:31] <khallow> It'd better be close, or he's wasting money
[03:59:41] <takyon_> some of the states could have mandatory recounts
[03:59:51] <Bytram> yep
[03:59:52] <khallow> Given how close it is
[03:59:57] <khallow> I bet there will be a few
[04:00:19] <Bytram> takyon_: cmn32480: running a story in 10 minutes; see #editorial
[04:00:43] <khallow> interesting
[04:00:46] <mechanicjay> wow
[04:00:50] <khallow> Utah wasn't even close
[04:01:14] <khallow> thoguht that Trump would have more competition from McMullin
[04:01:36] <takyon_> Utah was called?
[04:01:40] <takyon_> what's the breakdwon

[04:02:05] <takyon_> oh yeah shit
[04:02:05] <cmn32480> Fox shows 216 to 202 favoring Trump
[04:02:09] <khallow> it's not many votes at present
[04:02:11] <takyon_> McMullin didn't even beat Clinton
[04:02:13] <khallow> 8%
[04:02:15] <Bytram> are those electoral votes?
[04:02:20] <Bytram> cmn32480: ^^
[04:02:20] <khallow> but he has 56% of the vote
[04:02:22] <cmn32480> yes
[04:02:25] <Bytram> k
[04:02:31] <cmn32480> that is the national breakdown
[04:02:37] <khallow> And McMullin is almost equal with Clinton
[04:02:45] <takyon_> McMullin made a name for himself. Good for him.
[04:02:59] <SirFinkus> so I guess trump wins
[04:03:06] <khallow> maybe he'll shake up the libertarians too
[04:03:08] <takyon_> Game of Trumps
[04:04:08] <Bytram> how many electoral college (EC) votes does it take to win? 270?
[04:04:34] <takyon_> yes'
[04:04:53] <takyon_> CBSN says 190-172. Mostly because California just stopped voting
[04:04:55] <cmn32480> yep
[04:05:04] <cmn32480> CA you can drop in her column.
[04:05:17] <cmn32480> same as Washington and Oregon
[04:05:21] <takyon_> North Carolina leaning Trump. 50-47
[04:05:32] <cmn32480> Fox called it for him already
[04:05:49] <takyon_> Michigan 48 Trump, 46 Clinton, so far
[04:05:51] <khallow> you know, the comedians needed the jobs.
[04:05:57] <khallow> let's look at the silver lining here
[04:06:04] <takyon_> yeah well Fox is known for calling things a bit early for repubs
[04:06:18] <takyon_> CBSN just made their projection for North Carolina just as I typed that lol
[04:06:30] <takyon_> PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP
[04:06:32] <cmn32480> it was about 4 minutes ago
[04:06:44] <Bytram> I heard that in MI, Detroit polls running late and is heavily D
[04:07:06] <takyon_> with these wins, Trump has won some breathing room
[04:07:13] <cmn32480> Jesus H Fucking Roosevelt Christ.... he might win this
[04:07:52] <takyon_> it's like, he can afford to lose some battleground states now
[04:07:59] <cmn32480> nope
[04:08:05] <cmn32480> he can't afford to lose anything
[04:08:24] <takyon_> with the above statement I'm assuming that he wins Florida
[04:08:28] * cmn32480 is half tempted to call TMB and wake him once the winner is declared
[04:08:38] <khallow> agree with cmn32480, every bit is going to be needed by both candidates
[04:08:49] <takyon_> my friend told me not to wake him up. although i'm tempted to
[04:08:59] <Bytram> cmn32480: nah, just text T-M-B... that'll be enough
[04:09:13] <khallow> I'd wait till the recounts and lawsuits finish
[04:09:24] <cmn32480> he'll probably be awake by then
[04:09:25] <NCommander> NYT has the win-o-meter at >95% trump
[04:09:30] * NCommander feels absolutely sick
[04:09:42] <takyon_> NCommander
[04:09:47] <NCommander> ?
[04:09:48] <cmn32480> but clinton winning the popular vote
[04:09:50] <takyon_> I'm going to make a comment just for you on the Trump wins thread
[04:10:05] <NCommander> cmn32480, doesn't matter. Electoral votes are all that matters
[04:10:28] <cmn32480> it's gonna be a cluster fuck if she doesn't concede
[04:11:05] <takyon_> If you got high % in the states you win and high % in the states you lose, you could probably have 60-70% popular vote and still lose the electoral vote. Not likely but theoretically possible
[04:11:07] <cmn32480> NCommander - you are correct
[04:11:37] <takyon_> 190 Clinton, 187 Trump - CBSN
[04:12:25] <cmn32480> Article II
[04:12:25] <cmn32480> Section 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows
[04:12:25] <cmn32480> Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

[04:13:14] <Bytram> #fite Mayonaise
[04:13:14] <MrPlow> #fite spam going to channel #fite
[04:13:20] <MrPlow> Bytram falls broken at Mayonaise's feet.
[04:13:38] <mechanicjay> Big swing states are totally going Trump,
[04:14:17] <cmn32480> Leebert: contain your surprise
[04:14:18] <takyon_> Trump has edge in Wisconsin
[04:14:23] <takyon_> you could say he's edgy
[04:14:31] * NCommander is watching CBS now
[04:14:41] <Leebert> I had my first experience as an election judge.
[04:14:44] <Leebert> That was cool.
[04:14:45] <takyon_> CBSN just short of calling Florida for Trump
[04:14:49] <Leebert> I recommend it if you ever get the chance.
[04:15:35] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Websites for Both U.S. Presidential Candidates Targeted on Eve of Election - http://sylnt.us - while-we-are-waiting-for-the-election-results
[04:15:57] <cmn32480> interesting
[04:16:01] <takyon_> Clinton leading a bit in Pennsylvania
[04:16:25] <NCommander> takyon_, I think FL is Trump. I'll be shocked if it goes blue at the last minute
[04:16:49] <Leebert> Especially since western Florida is bible belt and an hour behind the rest of the state
[04:16:53] <Leebert> rural bible belt
[04:16:55] <takyon_> I need a picker that lets me put states in one column or the other
[04:17:00] <cmn32480> an hour and 200 years
[04:17:03] * Leebert lived in Pensacola for a couple of years
[04:17:13] <cmn32480> your airport code was PNS
[04:17:16] * cmn32480 giggles
[04:17:33] <chromas> cmn ans PNS sitting in a channel...
[04:17:36] <Bytram> ~weather PNS
[04:17:38] <exec> syntax: ~weather <location>
[04:17:42] <Bytram> ~weather PMS
[04:17:44] <exec> syntax: ~weather <location>
[04:17:44] <Leebert> cmn32480: The funnier thing is that they renamed the airport "Pensacola International Airport", even though there were (are?) no international flights.
[04:17:53] <takyon_> haah
[04:18:02] <cmn32480> there might be now... what with Cuba opening up
[04:18:09] <Bytram> agreed
[04:18:14] <takyon_> Cuba, the 53rd state
[04:18:30] <Leebert> Sure, I mean, if you want to fly to Cuba, clearly you would want to leave from a 5-gate regional airport. :)
[04:19:03] <cmn32480> Most flights are going from Tampa, FLL, MIA, and the NY airports
[04:19:11] <Bytram> Sure, I mean, if you want to fly FROM Cuba, clearly you would want to ARRIVE AT a 5-gate regional airport. :)
[04:19:23] <Leebert> :)
[04:19:31] * Subsentient sprays chunky vomit all over the floor, ceiling and walls
[04:19:41] <Leebert> Miami definitely. Big cuban population.
[04:19:51] <Leebert> Man, all this talk of Cuba makes me want a cigar.
[04:20:06] <Leebert> something something Monica Lewinski Clinton rimshot
[04:20:22] <NCommander> Leebert, means they have customs facilities though. Private flights generally
[04:20:23] <cmn32480> Leebert... I'm one of them
[04:20:30] <cmn32480> I actually looked into flights
[04:20:43] <cmn32480> the flights on Southwest are cheap af
[04:21:23] <Leebert> I actually wouldn't mind take a trip to Cuba. Except I work in federal government and the paperwork would be oppressive.
[04:21:32] <cmn32480> forget it.
[04:21:37] <cmn32480> don't try until you retire
[04:22:01] <takyon_> but if you go too late it will become Americanized !
[04:22:14] <takyon_> McDonald's for every comrade
[04:22:40] <khallow> That's why I go to Cuba. To get a McD's hamburger
[04:22:54] <khallow> maybe it tastes better on a tropical island, right?
[04:23:21] <takyon_> Republicans have basically got control of the Senate
[04:24:12] <khallow> I guess even if Trump doesn't make it to president
[04:24:16] <khallow> he does have coattails
[04:24:21] <cmn32480> NYT says that Washington is leanign Trump
[04:24:33] <Leebert> I really do not feel like going into to work tomorrow.
[04:24:38] <takyon_> isn't Washington full of liberals?
[04:24:42] <takyon_> (not dc)
[04:24:50] <Leebert> Protests suck, and I kinda feel like there's a decent chance of running into one.
[04:24:51] <Bytram> does D.C. get any electoral votes? I think not....
[04:25:11] <NCommander> Bytram, yes they do, they get 2
[04:25:11] <takyon_> DC has 3 electoral votes
[04:25:11] <cmn32480> yes
[04:25:13] <NCommander> 3
[04:25:23] <cmn32480> minimum for any state is 3
[04:25:23] <Bytram> tnx
[04:25:30] <cmn32480> and DC
[04:25:31] <NCommander> They have a specific amendment to grant them electors. No representation in the senate or house though
[04:25:33] <Bytram> and for the state of confusion?
[04:25:39] <cmn32480> incorrect NCommander
[04:25:47] <cmn32480> they have 1 or 2 reps in the house
[04:25:50] <takyon_> ummmmm
[04:25:52] <Leebert> no representatives
[04:25:55] <takyon_> those are shadow representatives
[04:25:57] <Leebert> "delegate"
[04:25:58] <takyon_> not real ones
[04:25:58] <Bytram> no VOTING representatives, methinks
[04:25:59] <Leebert> non-voting
[04:26:07] <NCommander> non-voting
[04:26:11] <NCommander> They have observers
[04:26:13] <Leebert> Also, DC's delegate cannot park a car
[04:26:39] <cmn32480> I sit corrected
[04:26:45] <khallow> looking at the current NYT map, Washington state and Michigan are close enough to warrant a recount
[04:26:53] <NCommander> cmn32480, DC license plates "Taxination without Representation"
[04:27:46] <NCommander> I suspect WI to trump, MI could go either way, as will NH
[04:28:19] <NCommander> Seattle hasn't reported yet. If WA goes red, I'll be shocked
[04:28:38] <takyon_> *Taxation
[04:29:31] <NCommander> PA is almost certainly Hilitary's though
[04:29:33] <NCommander> which helps
[04:29:44] <chromas> WA is pink
[04:30:33] <cmn32480> Fox just called Wisconsin for Trump
[04:30:34] <takyon_> P-A. P-A. We could go - either way
[04:30:57] <Bytram> with the race this close, what scares me is that it means there are a large number of people who believe Trump's rhetoric and find his behavior acceptable
[04:31:14] <NCommander> CBS declared FL for Trump
[04:31:26] <takyon_> Bytram, NCommander: This election made America great again. Why?
[04:31:29] <NCommander> Bytram, I'm trying to be optimistic that people just hate Hilitary more but still ...
[04:31:38] <takyon_> Because you have to hit rock bottom before you can pick yourself up
[04:32:02] <Bytram> yeah, same here... but I've heard enough people who are staunchly FOR trump that it gives me pause.
[04:32:02] <takyon_> inb4 ROME
[04:32:20] <Bytram> which is, admittedly, better than giving me paws; but not by much.
[04:32:31] * cmn32480 bets Bill Clinton is sleeping on the couch tonight
[04:32:47] <Leebert> Now is a good time to sleep. I'll unlurk again in a few months I'm sure. Until then, nice talking to y'all.
[04:32:48] * Bytram cuches his bets

[04:43:44] * Bytram suggests we have Trump pay for it
[04:44:03] <cmn32480> starbucks can afford it
[04:44:21] <NCommander> Georgia to Trump. Not surprising but still
[04:44:24] <Bytram> so, instead of a wall, a moat filled with coffee?
[04:44:25] <mechanicjay> Good, maybe keeping people out Seattle will cause the housing market to calm down around here.
[04:44:35] <cmn32480> yer welcome

[04:54:16] * NCommander keeps watching even though I should just like do something else
[04:54:45] <cmn32480> NCommander - It is like a car accident.. you just can't look away
[04:55:13] <cmn32480> biggest upside: we may finally be completely done with the Clintons.
[04:56:07] * FatPhil wakes...
[04:56:19] <cmn32480> Looks liek Trump
[04:56:25] <NCommander> FatPhil, welcome to the most ass clenching election
[04:56:32] <cmn32480> http://www.nytimes.com
[04:56:51] <FatPhil> so ia, oh. fl swung?
[04:56:56] <cmn32480> yep
[04:57:03] <chromas> it should
[04:57:07] <chromas> swingin' in the breeze
[04:57:18] <cmn32480> it largely depends on whose map you look at.
[04:57:35] * Bytram ignores Google maps
[04:57:41] <chromas> florida is america's foot-long dong
[04:57:41] <cmn32480> but from the way thigns are looking, trump is gonna take FL, OH, NC, and Wiconsin
[04:57:58] <NCommander> Alaska will go red, its historically always done so.
[04:58:41] <takyon_> ballot initiatives not much counted
[04:58:49] <takyon_> Colorado raised min wage and approved assisted suicide
[04:59:02] <takyon_> looks like one of the cannabis measures could lose.... in,....
[04:59:08] <takyon_> arizona?
[04:59:26] <NCommander> If hiliary manages a win, it will be very narrow
[05:00:53] <cmn32480> Fox is looking at her path to victory, and she basically has to run the table based on what they have called
[05:01:37] <FatPhil> wi looks swingy too at this point
[05:01:49] <takyon_> washington for clinton
[05:02:01] <FatPhil> well done, sirs. We brits are retards, but I think you've out-done us!
[05:02:26] <NCommander> FatPhil, well we always have to show up the brits
[05:03:43] * cmn32480 hands out the hockey helmets for all, covered by your Obamacare insurance
[05:04:54] * cmn32480 wonders if the queen is availabel to take power back
[05:07:21] * Bytram would settle for Mr Mercury
[05:08:55] <cmn32480> NYT has changed PA to leaning Red
[05:09:01] <FatPhil> mi also looks swingy
[05:09:07] <cmn32480> yep
[05:09:16] <cmn32480> unbelievably
[05:09:41] <cmn32480> MIchigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota all typically blue states
[05:10:24] <NCommander> PA might flip
[05:10:30] <NCommander> red
[05:10:42] <FatPhil> nh heading swingwards according to bbc's map
[05:10:46] <Bytram> I doubt they'd be the only ones to flip out if Trump won
[05:10:56] <cmn32480> lol
[05:11:24] * FatPhil expects the canadian embassy to be receiving a lot of calls...
[05:11:30] <mechanicjay> didn't expect that from PA
[05:11:59] <cmn32480> FatPhil - I saw somethign on Facebook (not sure if it was serious or not) about the Canadien immigration website crashing
[05:12:17] <NCommander> Its actually fairly hard to get CA immigration unless you've got a college degree and/or speak French
[05:12:33] <FatPhil> mais oui.
[05:13:32] * cmn32480 debates calling it for Trump and checking in in the morning
[05:15:23] <FatPhil> I think I'll get my head back on the pillow again. my typing woke and is annoying my g/f...
[05:15:39] <cmn32480> ~gninght again
[05:16:34] <FatPhil> gnigt yourself. alarm's in 115mins, so hopefully the swingers will have swung by then...
[05:16:55] <FatPhil> I certainly don't feel on tenterhooks.
[05:16:58] <NCommander> I called it for Trump awhile ago, but I'm crossing my fingers for hiliary
[05:17:14] <NCommander> I knew she wasn't going to poll well, I just didn't expect this
[05:18:53] <t3> trump back ahead in PA
[05:19:16] <NCommander> less than 3k in PA
[05:19:17] <NCommander> Damn
[05:19:23] <NCommander> This is going to get ugly
[05:19:40] <t3> 10k now
[05:19:56] <NCommander> CBS says 1000
[05:21:03] <Bytram> 1000 votes?
[05:22:27] <Bytram> The more I think about it, one of my greatest fears, should Trump win, will be the end of civilty -- just as people trying to emulate Steve Jobs tried to "cargo cult" it by acting like an a**hole, I fear others will attempt the same "success" my emulating Trump.

[05:28:53] <takyon_> i'm sobering up so I should be ready to provide editorial assistance with the big story
[05:29:09] <NCommander> PA is going to go right down to the wire
[05:29:20] <NCommander> 95% reported, and less than 2000
[05:29:26] <takyon_> it looks like Trumpo has won but I haven;'t looked at all of it here yet
[05:29:49] <NCommander> This is going to get very ugly if Hilitary wins, and Trump demands a recount
[05:29:59] <NCommander> Or if Hiliary only looses by PA
[05:30:06] <Bytram> agreed

[05:46:54] <takyon_> "Trump will walk up to Putin, his 6'3" alpha male frame towering over the small slav, and he will say, "Putin, you're fired." Putin will nod meekly and from then on Russia will be an American oil factory."
[05:48:58] <takyon_> when CBSN calls it i'll post the story
[05:49:46] <Bytram> been meaning to ask... CBS(N)? ... CBS == Columbia Broadcasting System, what does the "N" stand for

[06:34:55] <FatPhil> yeah, nobody's calling it, but the trend is there
[06:34:56] <takyon_> Fox called Wisconsin for Trump, CBSN hasn't
[06:35:23] <xhedit> what is cbsn?
[06:35:48] <takyon_> it's CBS's online streaming channel. free and not really that much ads

[06:51:50] <takyon_> ok let's try this again
[06:52:44] <takyon_> I see NYT called PA for Trump. 264
[06:53:32] <takyon_> It looks like Trump could easily pick up Arizona or Wisconsin.
[06:54:15] <takyon_> New Hampshire posssible
[06:54:56] <takyon_> CBSN is being cautious and not calling Pennsylvania. That or my stream isn't fresh.
[06:55:21] <xhedit> No one wants to call it because that means trump is winning
[06:55:46] <takyon_> heh
[06:55:48] <FatPhil> he's won, deal with it!
[06:56:01] <takyon_> NYT has 99% in, CBSN has 97%
[06:56:26] <xhedit> Fox said 97

[07:00:02] <FatPhil> MI looks interesting. it would be a huge swing, but the urban areas are probably still to declare.
[07:00:35] <takyon_> Trump leading 70k votes in MI
[07:01:12] <takyon_> Now I'm interested to see Trump's extra votes. Could get to 308 electoral votes like NYT is predicting
[07:01:21] <SirFinkus> lmaoooooooooo
[07:01:32] <SirFinkus> clinton isn't showing up to make a concession speech
[07:01:36] <takyon_> CBSN cut out hmmmmm

[07:03:26] <takyon_> clinton creeped up to 218
[07:03:36] <FatPhil> nh?
[07:03:53] <takyon_> Maine I think
[07:03:55] <FatPhil> nh?
[07:03:59] <takyon_> I believe Maine splits the electoral votes
[07:04:08] <FatPhil> maine is 3 votes, yup
[07:04:17] <xhedit> Crying feminists on fox. I have some schadenfreude
[07:04:23] <SirFinkus> lol podesta just told everyone to go home
[07:04:26] <FatPhil> nh 4. and yup ME can split votes.
[07:04:36] <SirFinkus> "too close to call"
[07:04:38] <takyon_> it says 4 though, but they didn't give one to Trump yet
[07:04:42] <takyon_> he still at 264
[07:04:49] <FatPhil> who's podesta?
[07:04:51] <takyon_> CBSN cut back on I'm seeing Podesta
[07:04:55] <takyon_> He is the WikiLeaks man
[07:05:00] <xhedit> Her chief of staff
[07:05:07] <takyon_> he emails and doesn't afraid of UFOs

[07:05:45] <takyon_> Podesta giving a rousing speech to the crowd
[07:06:17] <takyon_> no sign of a concession in that speech

[07:13:44] <takyon_> NYT reads 265 for Trump, looks like they added in the Maine electoral vote
[07:13:53] <FatPhil> WI looks done and dusted
[07:14:00] <takyon_> CBSN is completely dicking around, still back at 244 for Trump
[07:14:12] <FatPhil> +3% with 97 declared
[07:14:48] <takyon_> I guess technically, being careful is the right thing to do since the final 100% result ought to be the final result, not statistical projections

[08:56:29] <crutchy> its not political. the market just can't support much higher than 18k

[08:56:41] <crutchy> the only reason it got there to begin with was the fed

[09:00:01] <crutchy> swiss, i'd probably invest in mining and commodities. they have been clobbered for years
[09:00:05] <swiss> at least, that's what I believe with my limited knowledge of stocks
[09:00:09] <crutchy> eventually they gotta go back up

[09:00:40] <takyon_> how did the California medical drug price ballot measure do
[09:00:50] <takyon_> I put some of those kinds of articles on the trump article
[09:00:51] <crutchy> gold has gone up about 25% from beginning of the year. DJIA has only gone up about 2%

[09:01:32] <takyon_> k. at least they will have their weed

[09:12:41] <takyon_> crutchy: yeah it was presented as a "we're not conceding just yet" speech but it had the great effect of limiting the amount of tears that could be seen on camera
[09:13:06] <crutchy> i'm just surprised that the 24 hour news networks seem to have gone offline
[09:13:11] <crutchy> well, most of them
[09:13:58] <takyon_> it's not a conspiracy or anything
[09:14:07] <crutchy> nono probably not
[09:14:15] <crutchy> they'll no doubt be back in the morning
[09:14:21] <takyon_> it's just that they are like cable outlets or whatever that are only allowing access for a short time
[09:14:29] <takyon_> or they just stopped reporting yea
[09:14:52] <crutchy> they normally don't stop. they go chase ambulances and stuff just to keep the feed going
[09:15:37] <crutchy> its pathetic, but i was interested in how they might have changed their tone

[09:26:14] <swiss> yeah, a bit of a shame imo
[09:26:26] <swiss> the fact people still buy obamacare means that people still want/need obamacare

[09:30:00] <crutchy> looking at the djia, it appears to have gone up more as the day wore on

[09:31:24] <swiss> look at the futures market

[09:35:45] <crutchy> there's probably going to be a bit of turbulence
[09:36:16] <crutchy> some stocks will no doubt lose, others will win
[09:39:00] <crutchy> maybe the US dollar will take a hit (like the GBP after brexit) but thats a good thing

[10:58:13] <chromas> The most entertaining ones are when people decide to plow through
[10:59:41] <FatPhil> is the electoral vote 2 votes, one for pres, one for vice, or are they a job lot?
[11:00:54] <FatPhil> what I'm digging for is whether we 100% know who vice pres will be.

[11:19:06] <crutchy> and thats cool
[11:19:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, i called hillary as losing back sometime in 2015. course i figured carson would beat trump in the primaries but i was right aside from that.

[11:20:12] <boru> How is it comparable to brexit?
[11:20:18] <boru> Just the anti-establishment bit?

[11:20:30] <crutchy> yeah pretty much
[11:20:38] <FatPhil> that and voting for a floppy-haired idiot
[11:20:53] <chromas> floppy bird
[11:21:04] <crutchy> pretty much the whole of britain voted to leave except london. the only reason why it was close was because london has a fuckload of people

[11:23:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> ah well, 3.2%. maybe next time.

[11:26:59] <crutchy> and wtf is he gunna replace obamacare with?
[11:27:11] <crutchy> i reckon they should just get rid of it and let the market work it out
[11:27:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> hopefully nothing. everyone who already had insurance now has half the coverage and twice the deductable. at least.
[11:27:55] <FatPhil> I've got a really useful suggestion - you shoulld make obamacare great again!
[11:28:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> it would be great. at lining a rat cage.
[11:28:31] <crutchy> if people want obamacare so bad, make it a company and sell it like everything else

[11:32:04] <crutchy> TheMightyBuzzard, yeah he was definitely left-leaning
[11:32:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly not. i expect she'll be on a jet for Qatar where she stashed 1.x billion from the clinton foundation last month

[11:34:09] <FatPhil> I've not worked out how much port and whisky I need to drink. Think it's going to be a lot.
[11:35:07] <FatPhil> I wanna see the 538 post mortem of why they, using a metastudy, were still so inaccurate. That requires them saying "we derped out, sorry", but I think they're man enough to do that.
[11:35:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, i bought two bottles of plum wine. drank one so i wouldn't have to think about the election last night and one so i could make it through a day of knowing what we elected today.

[19:19:18] <Web_weasel> and gives the EU the cold shoulder and nails a great policy with Trump
[19:19:39] <Web_weasel> Spot on buzzard
[19:19:47] <Web_weasel> exactly what my dad and I were saying an hour ago
[19:20:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> i spect that'll happen. we're great friends now that we got those couple pesky wars out of the way a couple centuries ago.
[19:20:44] <Web_weasel> lol
[19:20:59] <Web_weasel> Well your our biggest single trading partner
[19:21:18] <Web_weasel> and trumps not an idot, neither is may...
[19:21:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar, cept whoever is building computer bits nowadays possibly
[19:21:52] <Web_weasel> Yip, I meant your our biggest export market as an individual country
[19:22:18] <Web_weasel> 69 billion $ IIRC
[19:22:42] <Web_weasel> Hmmm, now heres a question...
[19:22:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> i gots no objection to an anglo free trade agreement though. most all the english speaking world's currencies are near parity now so it shouldn't cause too much of a problem.
[19:22:58] <Web_weasel> Will trump shout at Nicola Sturgoen due to his golf courses being in scotland....
[19:23:22] <Web_weasel> Yup the lowering of the pound needed to happen
[19:23:40] <Web_weasel> Its done well for me, I had invested in shares in equity companies that trade in the us
[19:23:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> truly. it's been inflated for quite some time.
[19:24:09] <Web_weasel> One of my shares has gone from 1.80 to 7.20 a share due to the currency change
[19:24:22] <Web_weasel> as their profits almost doubled when the pound fell
[19:24:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> honestly we could all do with another 25% drop over the next 12 years.
[19:24:42] <Web_weasel> Dollar or pound you mean?
[19:24:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> all anglo currencies
[19:24:55] <Web_weasel> right
[19:25:14] <Web_weasel> Well considering we need to export more
[19:25:20] <Web_weasel> and our export trade is finacial services
[19:25:25] <Web_weasel> then, yes your 1000% correct
[19:25:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> they're just too damned strong in the world for us to be competitive on exporting
[19:25:47] <Web_weasel> But that's our stickler in the India trade deal we are trying
[19:26:02] <Web_weasel> They are quite protectionist and don't want UK investment banks to control their economy
[19:26:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> plus it'd make manufacturing less of an utterly terrible idea
[19:26:11] <Web_weasel> so they won't allow us access
[19:26:44] <Web_weasel> Yeah, economy needs to be mixed
[19:26:52] <Web_weasel> UK is far too financial focused
[19:26:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> probably for the best. if they knew how to manage money they wouldn't have people living in every street
[19:27:31] <Web_weasel> heh, Yeah, the country we give aid money to, which has a space program and we don't....
[19:27:33] <Web_weasel> go figure
[19:27:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> difficult to get a good space program going that far from the equator but point taken.
[19:29:22] <Web_weasel> Its like russia in the height of communism
[19:29:34] <Web_weasel> people starving in the streets but exporting grain to appear successful
[19:30:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> yuppers
[19:30:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyhow, i'm feeling the call of a nap. back in a couple hours.
