The past has already happened (at least once) and the memory does not improve with age. Iā€™m looking forward to next yearā€™s snark battles with the unpresident and the unlegislative unbranch.

The top story is the white working class trailer trash whose 100,000 votes in Pa., Michigan, and Wisconsin gave Trump the White House. Their world is about to implode. Good.

The next top story is the non-voters, 3rd party nihilists, and Bernie suckers who also enabled Trump. Their world will also implode. Good.

All these morons deserve the fruits of their passion.

I donā€™t.

Sorry, but Iā€™m not looking forward to 2017, and I certainly donā€™t want to re-do the year now ending.

AJ Delgado is pregnant with Jason Millerā€™s baby. He got canned. Not sure if she is still employed w/ Pepeā€™s camp - after all, she knew the man she was screwing is married.

But I guess this is the start of Pepe draining his swamp.

Didnā€™t think I could get more depressed than the week after the election but these end of year reviews everywhere are starting to make me want to cry all over again. Worst Christmas ever.

New Yearā€™s resolutions - I will do everything in my power to fight against the Republican hegemony.

I will never say the words President Trump.

I will do everything I can to maintain and increase my support of independent news organizations like Pro Publica and TPM.

I will put not just my voice but my old body in the fray when protests are happening anywhere near me.

ā€œI will never say the words President Trump.ā€

Agreed. I thing we should come up with a consensus nickname to take the place of HO or TOG or HOTOG, etc.

So far I like Agent Orange because it reflects the toxicity of his actions, but Iā€™m sure the commenters here will have more.

Kim Davis looks like the person who went on a rant at two other shoppers while waiting in line; the only difference being hair length

At least I had the joy of seeing my 7 yr old grandson for Christmas. He doesnā€™t give a shot about trump or grown up stuff. Heā€™s still innocent and to see it is a wonderful and deeply refreshing thing.
Trump isnā€™t my POTUS. I didnā€™t vote for him. And unless he stops acting like a petulant 2 yr old Iā€™ll not think of him as an adult. Puking on Twitter is no way to be a President.

Hey asshole, their ā€˜white working class trailer trashā€™ world imploded years ago - through no fault of their own. And the Dems havenā€™t given a shit for decades. Truly pathetic.

And FU and Marshall too with the continued cheap shots at Sanders and us ā€˜suckersā€™ and ā€˜moronsā€™. Obama and Bill Clinton found time for the ā€˜trailer trashā€™ you find repulsive. But Hillary couldnā€™t be bothered. And keep your identity politics. Shaming the less fortunate and uninformed never works.

And while Iā€™m at it, fuck the Establishment Democrats for this failure as well. A party full of hacks protecting their livelihood, positions and careers first and foremost.

And fuck TPM.

Well enjoy your no longer democratic republic. You wanted it, you got it. You and the idiots who canā€™t think beyond the ends of their own noses.

Thereā€™s nothing new about this working class sense of alienation that has led people to do the dumbest things Iā€™ve ever seen people do en masse. The Brexit and this election have managed to break the stability and balance the west has maintained to one extent or another for many years.

I would buy the idea that the working class was being especially put upon if it wasnā€™t for the fact that their complaints are as old as time - as old as the concept of a working class. The working class has never been and is never happy. Never. Because working sucks. And Iā€™d buy the idea of their pain a lot faster if they were organizing unions again instead of electing this monster who will do exactly nothing for them, just as the Brexit wonā€™t fix what is bothering the Brits, either.

I guess Socialism, such as we and Europe have tried to follow, spoiled people to the point where they think now the government should be handing out ā€œhappyā€ to them. Good luck with that.

Socialism wasnā€™t enough - fine neither the working class nor anyone else is going to see much help from this government or the governments going rightwing in Europe for a very very long time. Kiss socialism and all it has given humanity goodbye.

Thatā€™s what Bernie accomplished here.
