As a Libertarian, we lose a lot.  When the red hats win they tell us what to do and we don't like it. But when the BLUE hats win THEY tell us what to do and we don't like that either.  My g/f wears a blue hat.  When she gets upset because the red hats are telling her what to do I point out that I may be upset TOO but, unlike her, I was ALSO upset when the blue hats were telling us what to do.  She gets more upsetbecause it's OK for the blue hats to tell us what to do but NOT OK for the red hats to tell uswhat to do. And the circle continues.

SCHRODINGER’S PRESIDENCY: The Time That Reality Forked Right in Front of You.

NEW YORK MAG’S DAVID WALLACE-WELLS: Trump May Have America, But the City Is Still Ours.  Man, he goes full Pauline Kael. You never go full Pauline Kael.

SEEN ON FACEBOOK: "Last week I learned that releasing hacked — but true — emails is a threat to democracy, but suborning electors to reverse an election is not.”

THE MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY — FINALLY: Obama makes a push for transparency before handing over executive power to Trump.

YEAH, HOW ABOUT THAT? Obama Warns the Country About How Much Power He’s About to Hand Trump.

NOT THE ONION: It Wasn’t Me: Obama Blames ISIS On Bush, Climate Change and the 2nd Amendment.

CLAUDIA ROSETT: If Russian claws dug into US politics — Obama, not Trump, let it happen.

WHAT, DO NOTHING UNTIL YOU LOST AN ELECTION, THEN PISS AND MOAN? Obama: We Handled Russian Hacking The Way It Should Have Been Handled.

SHE HAS LEARNED NOTHING AND FORGOTTEN NOTHING*: “‘We are feeling what not having hope feels like,’ [Michelle] Obama told [Oprah] Winfrey in response to a question about whether President Obama had achieved the ‘hope and change’ he promised while campaigning in 2008.”

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at Michelle’s statement and its Soviet-style implications. And thus, she bids adieu to the position of First Lady as she entered it, as proud of America before Obama took office as she is today. Why, oh why have the American people failed her husband so badly?

Seriously though, punitive liberalism, and substituting politics for religion makes smart people say very stupid things.

SOMETIMES THAT’S THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE AN AFFIRMATIVE: Michael Barone: “Double negative” voters decided election.

CHANGE: How America decided, at the last moment, to elect Donald Trump.

There’s a simpler explanation. Voters found Trump’s “Make America Great Again” more inspiring and relatable than Clinton’s “It’s My Turn to Rule You Idiots.”

HILLARY’S SUPPORT COMES FROM “THE LOSER STATES:” The Blue State Depression:

When I say the blue states are in a depression, I don’t mean the collective funk they are in because they lost the election to Donald Trump.

I’m talking about an economic depression in the blue states that went for Hillary. Here is an amazing statistic. Of the 10 blue states that Hillary Clinton won by the largest percentage margins — California, Massachusetts, Vermont, Hawaii, Maryland, New York, Illinois, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Connecticut — every single one of them lost domestic migration (excluding immigration) over the last 10 years (2004-14). Nearly 2.75 million more Americans left California and New York than entered these states.

They are the loser states. They are all progressive. High taxes rates. High welfare benefits. Heavy regulation. Environmental extremism. Super minimum wages. Most outlaw energy drilling. The whole left-wing playbook is on display in the Hillary states. And people are leaving in droves. Day after day, they are being bled to death. So much for liberalism creating a worker’s paradise.

Now let’s look at the 10 states that had the largest percentage vote for Donald Trump. Everyone of them — Wyoming, West Virginia, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Dakota, and Idaho — was a net population gainer.
