Local church marquee:
"We may not be Dairy Queen, but we have great Sundays!"
However did the Christian faith survive 2000 years without that in the New Testament canon?
-----------------------
If what happens is not congruent with what you prayed for, it does not mean that your prayer was not answered by God.

The amazing production boom of the '50s and '60s occurred because we had bombed the other industrial nations into slag.
Then, we rebuilt them.
We will never see a boom like that again. However, we CAN have a stronger manufacturing base if we allow the markets to work without governmental jiggery-pokery. Perhaps having a man in the White House who understands money and how business works will be an aid to that happening.
-----------------------
One more thing. I have friends expressing fear over the results of the election. You are reacting to a successful political propaganda campaign designed to produce just that effect. Do not fear. An aware person said "Fear has torment, but perfect love casts out fear.".
Don't give in to fear. It is an easy response to gin up, and is a great control mechanism.
"Fear is the mind-killer."

Quit freaking out.
We still have separation of powers, and checks and balances.
Mr. Trump cannot wreck the YouEssofAY. As little as most think of them, there are still Constitutional guidelines.
And We the People can and must ride herd.
-----------------------
Displaying a snotty attitude is unbecoming, whether winner or loser, left or right.
Win gracefully.
Lose gracefully.

Snarkiest I'm gonna get, and it is from sheer dismay.
Perhaps if we made Montana into a Safe Space....

Well, political commentary is boring, and bootless. No-one will be convinced of anything other than their own happiness, sadness, angst or fear, so no point speaking to what cannot hear.
I was trying out as the radio replacement for Sean Hannity back when he was the local afternoon guy here in N AL at the time of the Bush/Clinton contest. That night I was the wire-runner, tearing sheets off the wire service and taking to the local evening hosts. When the news came that Bill Clinton had won, I wanted to go to bed and stay there. Yet, the earth continued to turn, and we got through it, and the entertainment value alone was immense. (Though I did not get the radio gig, because I had a vocabulary, and was not afraid to use it. Dave Stone, the manager, did not want the "poet laureate of talk radio". Perhaps said much about the genre.)

So, too, the planet
twirls its course even now, and there will be...life happening, and
most of the dire things you worry about Mr. Trump will not occur, and
some good things will, and there will be other elections, and other
candidates, and other issues, and plenty of angst then to go around.
Relax. Eat some soup. Or a pizza. Have some tea. Or a beer. Go watch Doctor Strange.
Relax. And that's all I have to say about that.

Then the thought that people are REALLY gonna miss the Tea Party comes to mind....

BRENT WOODALL!!!
That's the name of the guy that took over the Hannity slot in the early '90s.
It hit me like a rioter's brick when I was getting some tea in the kitchen.
------------------------
Ya know, there may have been something to the old taboo about talking about politics....

Dear, DEAR people.
The "Day One of Trump" trope is mindless. Nothing has changed. The dreadful trolls who are doing and saying dreadful things, claiming to be Trump supporters, are JUST THE SAME as they were the day before the election. It isn't the President-Elect's fault. If anything, the misrepresentations in the news and social media have emboldened them to act out publicly.
If anything, they are like the misbehaving child at the circus. Ignore them, and let the clowns and elephants deal with them.
-----------------------
Just a thought.
You folks burning your New Balance shoes because the company honcho supported Mr. Trump REALLY aren't doing the climate change problem any good with that, you know.
Have a faboo weekend!
