I have a feeling that obama and hillary both had a conversation and agreed to to public and endorse Trump's win so he wouldn't prosecute either one of them.

Yep. The bullying was never ending and vicious and so gleefully hateful with grinning smug sneering it was too much to bear. People will put up with an awful lot, but they went too far, too fast, and were completely insufferable about it. And what's worse... they made it absolutely clear that this was only the beginning.

The intimidation factor from the Democrat Party, from the White House, the IRS, the DOJ, etc, down to the public schools, and you're liberal neighbors reached the tipping point.

Not for nothing, but even most people who hold advanced degrees are morons. You're supposed to be the expert in a very narrow slice of a field of study. Just because you are an expert (allegedly) in ONE thing, does not confer expert status in ALL things. But these fools don't get it. But they're fucking arrogant. Its amazing.
But the truly intelligent ones, are humble, because they know how little they actually know (and usually its a metric-fuckton more than you). Posted by: Iblis at November 09, 2016 04:39 PM (9221z) 55

@ace "I don't think I'm special. I kind of despise myself for having such an incredibly low-level mediocrity of a non-career."
Part of the victory in this election is the victory of bloggers over the MSM in reaching people. That's a big deal, because it's a fundamental change to remove the gatekeepers of information. So, you've got that going for you. Posted by: lgw at November 09, 2016 04:39 PM (AXiRO) 60

As far as i know, wisdom is learned sweating, doing things like mucking cattle pens, trying to keep sheep alive, and learning how to make friend with mustangs and make them useful for something more than dogfood. Raising toddlers can teach you wisdom, or caring for elderly parents. But when our kid was asking us about a guy she wanted to marry Grimm asked "Is there anything hes achieved or done that hes proud of, besides snagging you?"
the answer was no. She had some big thinks after that. decided to try again with another one. Posted by: Gushka Can Has Kittehs what plays fetch! at November 09, 2016 04:40 PM (YhV5r) 65

The NYTimes is just being juvenile now by STILL REFUSING TO CALL ARIZONA AND MICHIGAN for Trump, even though 100% of all ballots are counted and he flat-out won both states.
They refuse to do it because to do so would put him over 300 Electoral votes, which would look like a "decisive mandate"-type victory.

if the light were brighter someone would have tried to hire me, which they really haven't. but whatever. I'm not dumb, obviously. It's just there are things I wish to accomplish in life, and this isn't at the top of the list. As I get older -- as you know, I dread my long-upcoming 29th birthday -- one begins taking stock of what one has achieved compared to what one imagined one would achieve. Mid-life crisis, they call it, but it's not as silly as I imagined it to be; it's a needed thing that happens when Young People stop being young and realize they can't keep saying "Ill do that when I'm older" forever. so it's not like i don't like you guys, or that I'm not appreciative of my fortunate state. (This is a pretty good job, honestly.) It's just this is not my highest aspiration. and the recent ugliness from these stupid sonsabitches on twitter has made this a less fun thing than it once was.

Consequences. "Taking the high road" may work for family and friends relationships. "Taking the high road" everytime like an idiot against your enemies is called "Bushism". Mercy means nothing when everyone receives mercy.

I'm going to really enjoy putting up the Christmas tree this year.
I have a very vivid memory, etched in my mind, of putting up the tree in December of 2012. I was very depressed and discouraged about where my country was headed. I kept up a cheerful front for my wife and kids, but I remember as I worked on the branches that I was deeply worried about what the coming years would bring to me and my family, and what kind of country my kids would grow up in. And for the next four years, the same thing. I tried to be upbeat, but it got so I couldn't look at my beautiful tree without having that same feeling of dread and worry come flooding back. I think Christmas is going to be much different this year. :-) Posted by: Agent Cooper at November 09, 2016 04:46 PM (1zARK) 106

I kind of despise myself for having such an incredibly low-level mediocrity of a non-career.
While I understand (and share your disappointment) I think you're underestimating your influence and worth. And in any case, its usually the humblest jobs, done well, which are the best and noblest. A hard working plumber is far more meaningful than a politician or actor. The pay and prestige may be low, but the worth and dignity is higher. The greatness of any position or work done -- as Mike Rowe so often reminds us -- is not its dollar value or celebrity cachet, but its dignity and worth to one's fellow man. Doing a humble job as well as you can trumps doing a high-profile mega bucks job sloppily. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 09, 2016 04:49 PM (39g3+) 132
And so how we proceed over the next year against these asswipes Ace is referring to is every bit as important as the election. We reject those #nevertrump pricks on the right, including those who swung to Trump at the last moment realizing the tide was against them, and we drive them down into irrelevance. Ace did a great job calling them out over the last several months and that needs to continue. Ace may argue he's just a warm body filling a seat but in reality he's a hell of a lot more than that to us readers. He's an important link in a chain that needs to strengthen and crush what's left of the debris out there. I've never looked into the tip jar - perhaps we all should kick something in no matter the size.

Back in the day, I never knew a single individual who scored 800 on any part of the SATs. It was unheard of, even in my grad school class at Berkeley (only one of whom has won a Nobel Prize, so far). Now they've rejiggered the SATs so that it is not that uncommon anymore. Just like GPAs. An "A" meant you were in the top 10% of your class, and getting all "A"s was quite an achievement. Doing it for four years, and graduating with a 4.0, was a remarkable achievement. Now kids all over the place get 5.0s. How is that possible? They get extra credit for some courses. What did they think we were doing back then - taking Fingerpainting 101? Such bullshit. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at November 09, 2016 04:52 PM (SRKgf) 152

You should do whatever you want, obviously, but don't ever undersell what you have created here. It's not just a blog. It is a place where smart, informed people gather to talk, argue, learn and support each other. And some of us have kept coming back for more for years.

On the acexit thing...... one of the things that I've noticed over the years is that Teh Ewok hasn't done as many straight pop culture or fun posts as he used to. You know, like ACTUAL film reviews. I brought that up with a couple of folks at the CenTexMoMee recently. Going political blog 24/7 isn't good for the soul. Dood, you should do more of the FUN writing again. There's still joy to be had in playing with words. Best part is, your palms are already hairy, so you can play with it to your heart's content.

I am so done with this election. Happy that my state put DJ over the top, and that Toomey won over that typical donk grafter who wanted the senate seat. The more I learned from wikileaks about cankle's depravity, the more I understood she could not be this nation's CEO. Her concession speech was nothing but code for the communists to continue Organizing for America. Thank God Trump has both houses of congress for two years. He had better act quickly. I'm convinced the only thing that will rid us of the lefty plague on this nation is something of Biblical proportion. And I pray for it everyday.

You should do whatever you want, obviously, but don't ever undersell what you have created here.
It's not just a blog. It is a place where smart, informed people gather to talk, argue, learn and support each other. And some of us have kept coming back for more for years. I've had a number of great jobs and "accomplished" quite a bit, I guess. But I could never do anything like this. You created something out of thin air and that is one amazing accomplishment.

Last night, when people had access to information elsewhere, the tv poobahs were WITHOLDING information about how the election was going, from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Why? Drama. Had they posted what they KNEW was going to happen, this thing would have been over before Alaska's polls closed.

Without those toothless hillbillies, the "elite" wouldn't have running water, proper sewage systems, electricity, functioning cable, manicured lawns, or roofs over their heads.
Neither can they drive a truck pulling a 53' trailer of food, build a bridge, or cut down menacing 40' tall Live Oak tree. Few of them, I suspect, can manage any of these skills on their own.

just take a vacation. NO one will have a problem with it. Posted by: weft cut-loop Seconded. Ace, like you for years I CONSTANTLY blogged. So I know just how wearying it can be. But starting around 2013 I just threw in the towel mostly because I had to attend to more important real-life matters, and guess what -- the world went on without me. So don't think you are our captive slave-monkey, endlessly forced to perform for our entertainment. You want to take a break, for a week, a month, a year, EIGHT YEARS -- hell, go for it. I made that decision and I do not regret it. And you can always come back. Accrued credibility lasts a looooong time.

Mid-life crisis, they call it, but it's not as silly as I imagined it to
be; it's a needed thing that happens when Young People stop being young and realize they can't keep saying "Ill do that when I'm older" forever. Posted by: ace ------- Just went through my own mid-life crisis a couple of years ago (I turned 50). Nasty stuff. I was in a funk for almost a year. Horribly depressed. Made a list of the things I thought I would have accomplished by that birthday. It was a depressing list. I make my living as a professional writer (I write technical manuals and online help for software), but I always wanted to finish writing a book. (I've started several, never finished one. Plenty of short stories, but not anything I would consider a book.) I finally came out of it when I set up a realistic schedule of sitting down for a certain number of hours each week to work on it. So far, so good. Personally, I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. This is an amazing site with an amazing group of people. Most online sites don't have the kind of loyalty you've created here. It's very rare. Posted by: Biergood at November 09, 2016 05:05 PM (v8Lx/) 276

i really think college is wasted on the young. For one, they just got out of high school, 12 straight years of school, and are SICK of learning and reading and testing.
They're not in the mindset for it. I can attest to this. When I went back to school ten years ago, the difference between the kids recently out of school and us adults with life experience was night and day. It's no accident it was the older students that did much better. And ace...just because you're not where you thought you'd be, where you wanted to be, that doesn't mean you're not where you were meant to be. I know, I know, but trust me, I struggled with that. I am not nearly in the place I saw myself being when I looked forward 25 years ago. But you know what? I know good has come of the path I did wind up walking, and that gives me a good bit of peace. And sometimes it's the opportunities you didn't imagine that wind up being the big ones. Posted by: Brother Cavil, keeper of the Deplorable Unicode Character at November 09, 2016 05:06 PM (9krrF) 284

And now these dweebs are protesting. Protesting what, exactly? Democracy? Because that's the only thing that has happened in the last 24 hours. A general election and people voting. Trump is not president yet. He has not spent one minute as president and hasn't made a single presidential decision. They are violently protesting against their own imaginations.

Ace, I realize that you are probably tired of all this, fatigued even but I do hope you would reconsider looking for an exit (maybe a nice vacation would help). Conservative blogs like this, folks like you, Milo among others are the voices of resistance in this increasingly liberal country we live in. Your words give voice to what we think and fear and help push back against the leftist tide. Not anyone can do what you do, it is a gift that God has given you, your unique talent to share with the world.

I've never been more surprised (politically) than I am by this election. I cannot fathom that the media-government alliance lost. It makes my conspiratorial side suspect Trump as a quisling. But that would require more complication than simply having Hillary win.This is unusual.

Last time I checked her GoFundMe page they had raised about $30k for her and settled her in lodging.

"Know what most people in college are?
Fucking idiots. Just like everywhere else." This. A million times, this. I have three degrees, and while that makes me well-educated in *some* aspects of life, it does not make me an expert in all things or make me a superior person. Too many people, professional or otherwise, fall prey to this validation error, especially when it comes to having a college education. Sheeeit, I know people who picked up a trade that make more than those with a college/university education. Posted by: Shinjinrui at November 09, 2016 05:16 PM (4SznG) 368

I can attest to this. When I went back to school ten years ago, the difference between the kids recently out of school and us adults with life experience was night and day. It's no accident it was the older students that did much better.
In fairness, the older students are a strongly self selected group. I think that that is a more important factor in their age or their life experience. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at November 09, 2016 05:16 PM (SRKgf) 371

My life crisis occurred when I realized I wasn't going to have the family wife and kids job life that my parents had, and had to learn to deal with that not being the certain path in life. It took a while to get through that.
As for a blog: I worked my tail off for six years, doing everything I could to get readers, posting several times a day, writing the best I possibly could, forming connections, promoting my work. I didn't make it nearly as far as ace has. My readership at its best was like 1/10th of his on an average day. This is not a business that is even remotely easy to get into, particularly now when blogs are basically old hat and dying. Ace keeps his vibrant, popular, and significant every single damn day even when his heart isn't in it. That's nothing to sneeze at.

302 I have a degree in history from a state uni and it was utterly worthless. All I gained from my degree was a sense of entitlement when I went job hunting that quickly faded during long term unemployment. Now I work my ass off doing gardening and other physical labor. Its not great but when you aren't working there is no such thing as honest work that your too good for.
Posted by: Drew in MO at November 09, 2016 05:08 PM (cGlgB) === I took a similar path in college. I just was never sure what I really wanted to do. Somehow I lucked out and got a decent job just over a year ago (albeit only making around 30k a year). I guess the good news is I'm not even 30 yet and I have lots of time to learn new skills. I've thought here and there about going back to school for a finance or accounting degree but maybe there's no point anymore. If I could do it all over again I would have started working right after high school and then go to college to learn a skill set.

One thing we're not considering is that Ace may (or may not) have a problem with affording to "turn off the blog," if it is indeed his only or primary source of income. In my case, because I am a genius investor and "kamikaze entrepreneur," I have out myself in a situation where I didn't NEED to blog anymore. I can imagine how scary it would be to go out into the world without a big nest egg to protect you.
I don't mean to jump to any conclusions about the dimensions of Ace's assets, but I do know how depressing it would be to "change careers," and suddenly have to start working for a salary. Ugh.

Willowed from last thread:
Agree with all you have said here Ace and add the following list of priorities to get this country back on track politically: First order of business - voter fraud and protecting the vote. Really go after voter fraud with the DOJ - the real kind. Perp walk people who are found voting several times - or busing people to multiple locations etc. Pass laws that make certain funds to states available only to states where the vote is protected and/or rights of citizens are not being diluted by illegal votes, whatever the source. You don't have ID laws? - You get no $$$ At state and local levels where the Repubs have state governments ensure that state and local laws are passed and that the DOJ "looks into:" groups that are trying to stop such laws as attempts to disenfranchise the actual votes of legal citizens Second - secure the border - start commencing the wall building/protection program - ( hey can you say lots o' construction jobs?!?) and enforce existing laws against illegal immigration: Sanctuary cities? Gone. Over. Any state, city or municipally that refuses to enforce immigration laws or allows illegal aliens to take the rights and $$ that should go to citizens? No federal$$ for you. None. Zero . Zilch. Birthright citizenship for illegal aliens? Done, gone. It is crazy. no other really civilized country does this. You already have it ? OK you are grandfathered in . Everyone else going forward - GFY. Path to citizenship? Sure - it involves leaving our country, going back to yours and waiting in line like everyone else - also paying any back taxes and/or fines. Period. No line jumping - this is a nation of laws and fair and even handed enforcement of the same. You don't like it - ? OK then stay in your banana republic country and wait for the next corrupt government official to come and take your $$ and stuff and be allowed to do it because he is in the right party and has friends in government and you don't - so the laws don't apply to him . You obey the law, immigrate here legally with skills and/or $$ and education and won't be a public charge? We welcome you with open arms, black white, Asian Latino whatever - you are the salt of our country Third - take back the media and the universities: For the media - ensure that the DOJ prosecutes everyone in the Hillary campaign for election fraud, most particularly Brazile and Podesta and anyone else who colluded with the media to accept what amounts to contributions in kind without disclosing the same ("sure Hillary Campaign let me publish your talking point as a real news story" - or passing debate questions to the Hilz campaign etc.) If any reporters intentionally participated in this they get hauled into court too. But the campaign people get very publicly and purposefully perp-walked. Also reining in the HB1 visa program very publicly for just about all job functions here in the US should be done - with the very public exception of broadcast and printed media journalism jobs - there the rules for HB1 visas should be relaxed. As we clearly have a dearth of conservative media folks here in the US - the program should be administered such that conservative broadcast journos from say the UK, Germany, France, Spain etc. should be given jobs - oh does that mean you might lose your job or get paid less Mr Jorge Ramos? Mr. Harwood? Well GFY - you were all for open borders so illegal aliens could take everyone else's jobs - now you have a problem with these LEGAL visitors with rights to work taking yours? Hmm my heart bleeds for you - you, too, can GFY. Same thing with the DNC - Debbie Watshername Schlitz and those scum who actually colluded with Hilz in the primary to swing her the election instead of Bernie. Very showy, very public arrests and perp walks - big showy trials - jail time Federal PYITA prison. (Bernie Bros/Bras? - this is for you - I didn't agree with your guy's politics - but what the corruptos did to him in the primaries ? frankly they should be swinging from lamp-posts) For the Universities - downsize the DOE to just a "sets minimum standards for states to meet" entity, not just for elementary/high schools but also empower it to be the national accreditor of universities to meet certain requirements for actual course structure and for spending of money - if over a certain percentage of your courses are not "core curriculum" (Math, Sciences, History, basic English, etc. or research in sciences engineering etc.), and this would be a low percentage like say 5% - and/or if you spend more than 5% your tuition and/or federal money (including Fed aid to students) on things other than core curriculum then you lose your accreditation and ability to get paid any Federal Money. This will end all of the SJW crap at universities which is essentially paid for by the ever expanding network of professors with dubious degrees (such as that disgusting Prof Melissa Click) and veer universities back to being institutions of learning. Call it the Higher Education Improvement and Reform Act. How can you be against that - it will lower he costs of universities and of course it is "for the children" it is for "improvement!!" Lastly: Public Unions - outlaw them - make a deal with private unions - say - "you we will protect and will work with - but not if you oppose us with public unions. Then there will be hell to pay." Anyway there are my thoughts right now - and am working on thoughts about the election and takeaways for tomorrow Posted by: Publius Redux at November 09, 2016 05:18 PM (Fb9aZ) 388

Here is why Trump won:
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you about this. Trump's win wasn't a reaction to being bullied or ignored or whatever. It was because of what Trump represented - borders, sovereignty, pride in America and a return to the ethos of competition and winning without guilt for the losers. The American government exists for American citizens and no one else. THAT is why Trump won. Sure ... there are many who voted for Trump for other reasons - because the left are pricks, the Vichy GOP are prick collaborators, etc - but most of Trump's real support and why he was able to make it all the way through against unbelievable headwinds from enemies and allies, alike, is because he represented positive values and promoted love of America, again. That's how I've seen it since the very start. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at November 09, 2016 05:28 PM (zc3Db) 457

439 It has been said many times but most people who go to college would be much better off going to a two year tech school and learning a trade instead of a general degree in college.

Most folks out there in the "land of reality" do the same stupid stuff all the time and really didn't consider Trump an aberration. Sure, he generalized a bit too often (stop Muslims vs stop bat-shit crazy Muslims), so do they. Most people don't say that Hillary is an "alleged" criminal, they just call her a criminal (and worse).

If it weren't for places like this, where would we get the straight scoop? The non-traditional media is the ONLY place some stories were covered this election. I read all about the Wikileaks docs here. Because you ACTUALLY cover the real news. Because of AoSHQ I knew who Anthony Wiener was before he got caught the 2nd time. Or was it the 3rd. I lose track.
The Huffpods and KosKids and their lemmings have NO IDEA what happened or why because they DON'T KNOW. They have been deceived and led down what they have been told is a primrose path.

Yeah this is the part that makes me just shake my head at the people hysterical over Trump. He says "Mexicans' when he means "illegal immigrants" he says "Muslims" when he means "Jihadis" etc. He's sloppy with his language, but they take it absolutely 100% seriously he means literally everyone. Some retard on facebook was saying he's scared because Trump was going to take away his citizenship. Why? Because he talked about deporting "Mexicans." Its childish and stupid, because they don't take anything else he says literally and exactly. Its like they are deliberately looking for the worst possible interpretation to justify their fears.

>>>He was banned for being a wet rag on the GAINZZZ thread.
not just that. I think he was a NTer too, and it wasn't even just that. There is a point which comes when you just don't like someone. Then a point comes at which you not only don't like them, but need to tell them that. Then a point comes where you not only disklike someone, and need to tell them that, but you need to tell them that DAILY. LincolnTF decided those things about me. Every day he was here, he'd take a nasty little pussy shot at me. At some point, someone has to be the adult in a dysfunctional relationship and say "This isn't working; we need to sever ties." Life is too short to spend it with people you dislike -- and that's as true of LincolnTF as it is of me. I did him a favor; like many people, he had come to hate me, and somehow found some kind of twisted joy in that hate. But even so, it's not healthy. Not for him, and not for me. So I did him a favor: I sent him on his way so he could find something interesting to do besides attacking me in every post he appeared in. Now, not inconsequentially, this was also to MY personal psychic benefit. But I think I am permitted to act in my own perceived self-interests. I work here. I spend 6-10 hours a day here. Okay, 6-8 hours a day here. Okay, 6 to 6.45 hours per day. The point is, I *have* to be here. LincolnTF does not. And if he's making a hostile workplace for me -- well I can't leave, and one of us MUST leave, so it's gonna be him. Or Amish Dude, or chemjeff, or any of the other guys who think this site is Little Green Footballs because a Republican supported a Republican candidate in a Republican election.

Point 2. Trump is a habitual liar who told you what he poll tested in the background what you wanted to hear. Get used of being lied to even more. Congratulations again on your Victory ACE. Point 3. You seem to be talking about yourself for the most part. You seem to think that because you came around to liking Trump everyone must support him or be the enemy. Guess what, when you treat me like an enemy, I BECOME your enemy. I did not start at that position, you created the situation upon which it became apparent. Somehow or another I thought after the election, particularly after, CONGRATULATIONS ACE ON YOUR VICTORY, you would cool down and become a somewhat reasonable to read blog again.

Ginsburg appears to wear 'dissent' collar on bench
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared to be wearing her infamous "dissent jabot" on the bench Wednesday morning. The move is being widely interpreted as a repudiation of Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election a night earlier. Ginsburg typically wears the collar when issuing dissenting opinions in the court, as she explained to Yahoo News in 2014. But no opinions were read Wednesday. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/305246- ginsburg-appears-to-wear-dissent-collar-on-bench Un-fucking-believable.

I think I'm softer then a lot of others around here. A small part of myself can't help but feel sorry for Hillary. She wanted this so bad for almost half of her life and now she knows that it can never happen. It must be the most crushing thing anyone could ever experience.
Catholics like me are supposed to believe that even people like Hillary are not beyond redemption and forgiveness. I sincerely hope and pray that she learns a hard lesson from this. If I were here I retire from politics permanently step away from public life completely and concentrate on being a good grandmother. Of course, this doesn't mean that I don't believe that she should not face justice for her crimes. She should. That is another reason why Trump won. The law needs to apply equally to everyone.

The entitled feeling that banned commenters have reminds me of sick assholes on twitter who are SHOCKED, SHOCKED to see I've banned them after their tenth spastic, spittle-flinging insult.
They just don't understand -- You're saying I DON'T have the RIGHT to just abuse you whenever I fancy? Or that you have the "right" to make yourself unavailable for said abuse? They really seem to think they have a first amendment right not just to say things, but to have access to saying it to my face, in my place of work, or in my twitter timeline. Here's a newsflash: as I explained to one big fat blob of fat who called me a "pussy," I'd be very interested in meeting some of these self-alleged non-pussies for a bit of extracurricular activity to see who the real "pussy" is. I'm not afraid, and every single day, I get a just a little bit better at punching. So if these Twitter and comment section "men" would like to have a real conflict that doesn't consist of some pussy "flames" on the internet -- if they'd like to have a conflict the way real men used to -- I'm for it. Just let me know, Pardners. Just let me know. But like I said, be warned: I am training in martial arts specifically for the purpose of hitting people like you very hard, so just heads up, unless you are also training to fight, it might not work out for you the way you were hoping.

Ace, you need to do what makes you happy and fulfills you. If you are burned out it makes sense to seriously consider some type of changes to whatever degree you feel are needed.
But this is a community that draws who knows how many people here. We kid each other about being morons, but your posts generate hundreds of comments, over and over, from very intelligent and witty people. Many of us, I suspect, spend way more time here than is strictly good for them just because the quality of your posts and of the comments they attract is so high. People hang around here for YEARS. I've been around since just before the first Obama election. There have to be thousands, if not millions of blogs with some pretty darn good writing that generate comments that can be counted on one hand. Your success with the HQ is a very rare exception, as is your talent for dissecting an idea and for writing. How many of us have read a post here and said, "Gee, that is what I was feeling and trying to express logically to myself, and this guy absolutely nailed it in a few paragraphs. Far better than I ever could hope to." Anyway, just do not ever sell what you do or your talent short. Posted by: RM at November 09, 2016 05:47 PM (U3LtS) 580

We need to have a brand name of some kind for those that fight against the social justice warriors. And really, we need more of a mocking and ridiculing term instead of social justice warrior. That implies a toughness, even while masquerading as bullying.

I think I'm softer then a lot of others around here. A small part of myself can't help but feel sorry for Hillary.
I have no pity for her, none. She's horrific and evil and celebrates all that is utterly demonic in this world. Nobody that gleeful and in support of murdering babies gets my sympathy. Those lousy bastards in the media! How could they be so wrong! But WE aren't like that here at CNNMSNBCFOXNBCABCCBS! I think part of that is out of fear. There is a lot of rage out there against the media for leading them astray about Hillary's chances. They are trying to keep from losing donors, party invites, and viewers. But the worst are the massively unselfaware leftists who at the same time they spew rage and hate at the media for not getting it right in their predictions... they trust every word the media says about Trump. You know, if they were so wrong and mistaken about that election maybe they aren't so dead on about other things too, huh? Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 09, 2016 05:51 PM (39g3+) 612

I've noted this before but the internet has had a profoundly effeminizing consequence on men.
Men used to understand that there was a limit to the amount of antagonism you could safely inflict on another man, because at some point, he would have the right and duty to challenge you to a fight, or just hit you. I'm not saying that's a good thing; But, as instapundit says, an armed society is a polite society. The internet is basically a method for very beta men -- punks -- to mouth off without the possibility of a deserved thrashing. I have been very annoyed at myself for doing just this. I used to think of it as 'punkmouth,' just a pussy punk mouthing off because he knew he was protected (by the barrier of the internet, or by a teacher being nearby -- whatever). It's not a good trait. I've got that trait, and I don't like that about myself. But there are a lot of punkmouth "men" on the internet who never seemed to have asked thmselves for one hot second, "Would I feel comfortable doing this face to face?"

An American Tragedy David Remnick, The New Yorker They're only making it worse for themselves. Remember when Rick said "I'll kill you" to Negan after Abraham's head was bashed in? And Negan didn't scared. No, Negan took Rick aside and helped Rick understand the position he was in. Negan persuaded Rick into making an attitude change. That's what we need to do. We're not done. We need to be Neganesque with these people until they fully understand the position they're in. Posted by: Soothsayer at November 09, 2016 05:55 PM (suql3) 650

One of the ironies of the "typical Trump voter" was this meme.
1) Trump voters are less likely to be college educated; therefore they're ignorant. 2) These same ignorant Trump voters have higher incomes than Clinton voters and thus only care for rich people. My theory is that many of these college-educated Clinton supporters tend to have degrees in things like Transgender Dance Studies and they somehow believe that this makes them our intellectual betters. I'm not knocking college -- I have two STEM degrees -- but I do 20 dumb things before breakfast every day and am a total nitwit in many areas. College didn't cure my tendency to be an idiot and certainly doesn't make me a better person than someone without a degree.

Ace, you write really well, have you considered a career as a novelist? I was a software engineer for many years until I reached the dreaded 50 and became unemployable. Through three years of unemployment, to keep my spirits up, I started on a fantasy novel set in 12th century Japan, a time and a place I have had a serious interest in for many years. My wife got on board, and we actually completed it, got an agent, and he is shopping it around. In the meantime, we are working on a different series we plan to publish ourselves through Amazon, as well as working on the sequel to the first novel. It hasn't resulted in much money yet, but it is entertaining and has the possibilities of bringing in an income eventually. You write well enough that I am pretty sure you could pull that off.

When Obama won, after coasting on a media cloud to victory, the left exulted. He told our side he didn't mind cleaning up all our mistakes but not to complain about the mopping, encouraged the left to punish their enemies, reminded us all that elections have consequences and that 'he won', refused to negotiate in good faith (see Obamacare, which he had previously said absolutely had to be a bi-partisan effort), called us bitter clingers, and fanned the flames of racial animosity continually.
I don't remember a lot of "outreach" by he or the left to those who had the temerity to think differently than they did. Trump fought a battle virtually by himself against vicious opponents; in contrast the media did most of the fighting for Obama while he egged them on and basically held their coat. But now, it's Trump's duty to reach out, to comfort people and groups who hated his guts and never hesitated to express that hatred, to be magnanimous, to embrace his bile filled opponents. Actually, I hope he does to an extent in the interest of good governance and facilitating what he needs to do. But one can only shake one's head at the boundless hypocrisy, arrogance, and lack of self reflection of the left and their useful idiots. Posted by: RM at November 09, 2016 06:06 PM (U3LtS) 733

Eventually her friend said she could make out that she was blaming James Comey, the Director of the FBI, for her loss, and, I don't understand exactly, the president of the United States for not doing enough. **** Doug Schoen, who's known her for decades and counts her among his friends, said this morning that losing campaigns are not about introspection, but a blame game. He suggested that Hillary is much worse than most.

SH, thanks at least for not being a dick to Trump supporters here, although I wish you'd joined us. Maybe Trump can convince you in four years. Like he convinced me after I didn't bother voting RomneyBot.
---------- I've never seen a reason to be a dick. I've never thought Trump supporters to be racist, I've never thought Trump to be the next Hitler. I fully understood why people wanted to give a finger to the establishment. And I never thought he'd lose. I just didn't support him. And I really never liked the term NeverTrump, because as I said a few times, if he does good, then I'll vote for him in 2020. I have no reason to root against him. I want a smaller federal government. If Trump helps us get there - awesome. I'll happily eat crow. If he gets good conservatives on the court, I'll happily eat crow. May not be enough for some people. Soothsayer seems to be on quite a roll. But life goes on. I like commenting here and sharing my opinion and getting into discussions. I hope I can continue to do so. And once again, congratulations, I really mean that. Its a great feeling when your candidate wins, especially a race most said he couldn't.

i considered that but 1, wrestling is even more metabolically demanding than kicking (and kicking is VERY metabolically demanding), and 2, I have a couple of bad joints which would be easy to exploit in a fight, so I figure, maybe BJJ is "the best" form of combat, but not for me.

Amazing. The country's never seen anything like it. --------- Well what happened is this. The Democrats decided to nominate someone no one liked, including their own party, who lost a very winnable election in 2008 because she is absolutle the worst politician in the world. Then on top of that when it became clear no one liked her, including in her own party, they had to scheme to get her past a 70 year old socialist by giving her debate questions in advance. Then even when it was clear that she skirted the law and was actively being investigated by the FBI, they continued to let her run. Meanwhile, the Republicans nominated someone who a good portion of the base actually liked and wanted to vote for. He had to earn it all the way without the traditional lines of support for the GOP. And then very predictably on election night, that person won. Posted by: SH at November 09, 2016 06:25 PM (gmeXX) 888

849 I've been told If you're looking to just hurt your opponent as quick as possible and no rules apply then original Krav Maga is the one.
I'll be damned ... was LITERALLY just thinking about this, kind of. So - I'm 44. Six foot. 215. Not fat - yet - but you know, father time is catching up. I don't have the desire to push weight anymore. Been thinking about getting into a martial art to get a little more exercise. Would Krav Maga work for that - or should I look at something else ? I'm NOT looking to learn how to kick somebody's ass up around their shoulders. I just want to get into something. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Did you guys see this?
"On Trump's proposal to impose term limits on Congress, McConnell said, "It will not be on the agenda in the Senate." McConnell has been a long-standing opponent of term limits, as NPR's Susan Davis reports. "I would say we have term limits now - they're called elections."" What a fucking dumbass.

728 REPORT: Hillary Clinton Couldn't Stop Crying, Blamed Comey and Obama for Her Stunning Loss ( VIDEO )
______________________ Figured she spent the whole night crying, screaming, throwing things, and blaming everybody else but the person really at fault (Hillary). It wasn't Comey who set up the illegal and unsecure private email server so he could hide Hillary's pay-to-play crimes at State. It wasn't Obama who is the shitty campaigner, or who collapsed on camera at the 9/11 event. It's all you Hillary. You're the loser. You're the woman who twice thought she had the presidency in the bag, only to lose to some unqualified upstart. If you were a different kind of person, I'd feel sorry for you. But you're a corrupt and tyrannical crook, so all I feel is relief that you're also a lousy candidate. Bye-bye, and good riddance. Posted by: TrivialPursuer at November 09, 2016 06:29 PM (4rh2D) 906

This story about Hillary reminds me of C.S. Lewis' description of Napoleon in Hell. Napoleon is spending all of eternity pacing back and forth, muttering to himself: "It was Josephine's fault. It was the fault of the Russians. It was the fault of the English." And the person who has seen Napoleon comments, "He didn't seem to be able to stop." If Hillary doesn't accept God's redemption, perhaps she'll be in Hell muttering to herself about how it was Obama's fault, Comey's fault, Podesta's fault....

Hey Scogg, You know how lifting weights is inefficient? I mean throwing 315 on the bar and cranking ATG squats is really a very inefficient process. But that is the reason that it forces the body grow stronger. Krav is very efficient. It teaches you to efficiently kick ass. You can dial up the heavy bag work and the supplementary stuff to compensate but it is not like , for example, Muay Thai or kickboxing where there is an integrated cardio , flexibility component. I took Krav for a few years for the stated goal of kicking ass. Not to get in shape. I have found a pretty good balance with hiking/jogging/walking, 5x5 lifting and yoga flexibility.

"Oh, you are intellectually superior, oh I am a pussy. Castrate me! I am so vile!" If only you would try out this RINO lifestyle, you would love it, my little buddy.

Ace, don't sell yourself short, son. After 40-odd years of observing the media as well as cyberspace in it's various iterations, you certainly have as much if not more on the ball than all the Twitter cockholsters and MFM douchebags put together, and you express yourself a hell of a lot better. Otherwise I'd have not been hanging around here for the last ten-plus damn years.
And I must say that your essay above was beautiful, and the Mighty Warcock of Ace truly left a lovely bruise on the face of assorted dipshit Twitteratti. I love it... Posted by: The Oort Cloud - No-Longer-Deplorable Source of all SMODs at November 09, 2016 06:46 PM (2pIEi) 979
Once they start fundraising they can't stop. But I do think the inauguration costs a big pile of money.

Kung Fu (Gung Fu, Gong Fu etc) just means basically 'great skill' and can be applied to calligraphy, etc. Its also short hand for Chinese monastic martial arts in the United States, which everyone knows but some pedants insist upon not using.

If you are starting to age some and you're just looking for exercise I would recommend Tai Chi.
It's easy on the joints, great for balance and strengthening your legs. It is also something you can do your entire life. It does take a long time to become good enough to also double as a fighting/self defense art. Also, and this is very important, the "foundational stuff" is very necessary. There are certain things, natural reactions, that have to be trained out of you. One example, someone goes to kick you in the groin. Everyone's natural reaction is both hands going down to block it. Bad. Move. Posted by: teej at November 09, 2016 06:50 PM (QJIMk) 989

I'm NOT looking to learn how to kick somebody's ass up around their shoulders. I just want to get into something.
Any thoughts would be appreciated -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Boxing is incredible exercise. It combines speed, strength, endurance (a 3 minute round seems endless when someone more skilled is trying to get to you and hit you), concentration, and commitment. It works out pretty much every muscle group. Core strength is a big part, although they didn't use the current exercise terms too much where I worked out back in the day (an ancient gym that could have been the set for the first Rocky). If you stay with it, it becomes reflexive, and you will pleasantly surprise yourself with your hand and foot speed, and skill. Many of the drills like hammering the speed bag and skipping rope are fun. Sparring will push your limits. Well worth a try. Best of luck. Be curious if you find something and how it goes.

452 We love you Ace. This is the only place I wanted to be last night. That's in itself is quite an accomplishment in my humble opinion. I know several others felt the same way.
Posted by: deplorable Jewells45 at November 09, 2016 05:28 PM (zRZaJ) ++++ Oh, absolutely! Case in point: Last night I was alarmed and despondent when the votes came in. Vermont, R.I., MA, all going to Hillary right away. Trump looked like he was in big trouble in Florida. I am reading the comments here like a mad woman. Help! Sure enough, one or two people pointed out that the Florida panhandle had not been counted yet and that it was a large conservative area. Plus, they told me the states that Hillary grabbed were no-goes any time. The Morons here saved my spirits. There is so much insight and input at any given time on a variety of subjects. Ace, you write like nobody's business. Great pieces, not once or twice a week but several times a day. I can't get over it. You are so valued. You are our own treasure.

You have me thinking too. Sparring days are behind me at this point, but I may break out the jump rope, start hitting the speed bag, and just doing some shadow boxing. Also loved hitting the ball that is on an elastic band and jumps right back at you when you hit it.

The thing is, ace, is that many of these special snowflakes never learned the mental discipline required to defer gratification. It's all about what feels good RIGHT NOW, and much of their political"philosophy" is rooted in circumventin the consequences of failing to defer gratification.
In the case of SJWs and other special snowflakes, it's the emotionat drug hit that comes with their identity posturing. A large part of their self-esteem is wrapped up in thinking of themselves as "better" than all those rubes who never sat through a Grievance Studies course and pretended it was like, so -deep-, man. They aren't especially gifted in either intelligence or talent, and some part of them seems to realise this. So their fragile egos require necessary boosts of condescending to people whom they assume are their lessers. But while this soothes their egos, it obviously does nothing to convince anyone outside their tribe. So they throw their tantrums when the bill for their emotional drug hits comes due. The depression sets in and another hit is needed, and the cycle repeats. So the only thing that is going to help them in any way is a 12-step program. Maybe we could call it Douchecanoes Anonymous.

I think a good part of Trump's win comes from the media and Leftist's hounding of anyone supporting Trump. People were even physically attacked and sent to hospitals for their support. A lot of people, and I mean A LOT of people, decided there and then to never reveal their true choice, lest the "pollster" on the phone turn out to be union organizer compiling a list for future use.

"And even if you are in the 'regular media,' so the fuck what? Having a job doesn't mean you're particularly good at it; it just means they needed a warm body to fill a seat and your ass looked like it might fit as well as any."
