i switch on the tv after a three hour nap and I just start a guttural laugh inside my head,
I guess I am not the only one:
Daniel Michael: "It's so quiet at the #hillaryHQ you can hear an email get deleted #electionday"
but all with caution cause, "I remember this before: we all went to sleep and al gore was president. woke up and found it was bush"
but, if we were to follow...the current apparent signs, I wish i had the space and company to do a vituperative subversive reading of this outcome for the moment. and even if these are not the final results, just imagine what it means for such a tight race given the characteriizations of trump, both candidates. ...we are living an amazing moment in time and oh the wonder to dissect and deconstruct that and explore the full karma that this all is, and not even for people who have been struggling at the bottom of the establishment shoe...not us first people at standing rock, not as black folk who delude to think we have allies. but the system. the system is reaping its rewards, its chickens are coming home to roost, the character of everything sowed is being magnified.
why would american not have an ex escort nude pinup for a first lady? when the kardashians are all the rage for how many decades now?
the amerikkkan nation has been running a kill raid on black lives and bodies for the last few years, how many of the white folks voting for hillary stood up standing rock and said that was not acceptable? so why are you all shocked that the kkk endorsed donald trump. the veneers have fallen is all. nothing new happening here
but i am still deeply bemused by the shock
i am just imagining hillary, bill, the obamas are in a daft stupor right now
it is deep to me too, because in some universe somewhere in the cosmos, these results also show that these two candidates were oh so similar as to have zero differences to separate them , their policies, what they stand for. see, you can do stuff either behind the curtain, in the basement, or you can make a parade out of it. donald is just the parade.
--------part two
yea. i remember when I too thought that competency and decency would win the day. that was sixteen years ago when i had still yet to realize the ugliness rules. and had overrode everything I had ever attempted four years prior.
i am also struck to realize how destabilized and stunned mute the clinton camp...where some unnamed random guy takes the stage and tells the folk to go home, with no comment otherwise except thanks. i wish i knew what state that was
there is a call to come to truth and folk will do well to heed the call and not bury their heads into another sand as they have for hundred of years.
and in the call to truth is the voice and embodiment of a lie leading : "make a america great again" the first truth is to excavate at which time america was great. cause the only time it might have been is when the ones echoing that statement , werent here, not even by first lineage.
oh what a day what a day.
good morning
-------part three
for a year or more now i came to the realization that some of us carry names of our destiny, purpose, mission, mandate or life deed...and as I close i think how we have all been trumped. we being the system we all bought into, we being all the people who thought him a clown and an idiot, and was there anyone who did not have the man as a walking caricature that he is: orange face, vanilla circled eyes, red flying hair mat, and the body shape of a barrel or pumpkin.....we being you who pretended you lived in a world different from the results of this election proves, we being lies and truth together, either all or the same, we being the global population, not just the US.
trumped truth .
trumped truth .
trumped lies
trump trumped every establishment
and hillary too, embodied that mode/ ask bernie. ask the democratic party leadership.
you cant feed the alligators and expect them to let the chickens roost. or can you.

there are some deep lessons here I think. something spiritual beyond the karma thing. beyond the disintegration of a world bought and constructed...
something about not being able to fight fire with fire.
something akin to more of the same is not going to get you far
something like you cant use the same tools of the devil to win the devil
kind of like be and come correct or stay home
i am still struggling to capture it
[Jessica Joseph: "Trump did not get the majority of American votes because the majority of America abstained from voting in this election. Trump won because the small base he was able to mobilize was bigger than what the Democrats were able to move due to choosing the wrong candidate. It should have been Bernie. They underestimated just how much Hillary was not liked and not trusted.

Maven Huggins: " i
have yet to put the words to it but hillary in this election and in
life has exhibited what it looks like for a white woman to be on a white
male privilege steroids. and ironically enough, paid for it tonight"]
--------good evening.

"By the way, she won the popular vote so far as we can tell. So maybe we don't need to argue about why she lost and think about why we have the nightmare of the electoral college. Brian Edwards-Tiekert wrote last night, "When the pacific coast states finish counting, it is highly likely that Trump will have lost the popular vote, but still won the presidency. Why? Because our country's political system was built to accommodate slavery. Slave states wanted political influence proportionate to their populations, but they didn't want to let vast swaths of those populations vote. Voila!--electoral college. So, remember: our country showed its ugly side today, but it did not give Donald Trump a mandate. Donald Trump was not elected by America's voters. He was elected by America's slave owners."

And you know, we don't blame Hitler's election on weak rival candidates;
a bunch of Americans, mostly but not all white, decided to vote for the
overt liar and serial sexual assailant who was endorsed by the Klan
after making open threats against immigrants and Muslims and denigrating
Latinos and Blacks and who will go on trial for racketeering in 19 days
because of his failed for-profit college. She won the popular vote
despite voter disenfranchisement and suppression and the end of the
Voting Rights Act, the best efforts of the FBI's director, Wikileaks,
massive misogyny across the spectrum, and forty years of the Republican
Party running attacks on her and her husband.
The ever-brilliant Aruna D'Souza notes: "At some point soon we need to discuss whether Sanders would have been able to win, but helpful hint: today, it just sounds like you're saying "the Democrats should have cut into Trump's lead in the misogynist vote and the whitelash vote by running a white man." Let's come to terms with the racism and the misogyny first, before analyzing the what ifs—because otherwise we're just going to replicate it forever. And if you think that the angry anti-Establishment vote won last night (hence Sanders would have fared better), let me remind you that patriarchy and white supremacy are the cornerstones of the Establishment."
