I don’t know what to make of this. It sounds like something I would post as a hilarious joke, and it is truly hilarious, but the guy who wrote it, while admitting he likes to make people laugh and to like him, insists that it is a completely serious event. You decide:
Real comedians who try to parody are out of work anymore. They are in a self-parody cycle.
Can we mobilize people to go jeer and mock them?
Every time I see a picture like the one in the OP, I smile.
Can’t get the first link to work. Is it just me?
Truly, these people are demented. I suppose, if you’re a person who believes that mere words can be construed as actual violence, I shouldn’t be surprised, though. Perhaps they think Donald Trump will “feel” their pain. Don’t hold your breath.
Yes!
I recall seeing the headline somewhere a few days ago, giggling to myself, and proceeding to other links. Didn’t think it could possibly be serious.
I hope it rains.
If never gets old.
I think I’ll spend the evening watching replays of election night with a bottle of champagne.
Yes! More hilarious videos with plaintive music in the background for our enjoyment. I wonder if a person can die of Schadenfreude.
This is more like my delighted scream that the left has resorted to screaming
That sounds like a good choice for November 8th… Hmmm, that’s a Wednesday… Yeah, I can live with taking Thursday off to celebrate Wednesday!
They should have named that video the pouty-lip video. There is one scene where it looks like the entire crowd has that lower lip thrust out like a room full of spoiled brats!
Snooks just agreed that we will make a cheap date of it. Out for dinner on November 8th, then home for popcorn, mimosas and election night coverage replays.
I am looking forward to that.
I plan to think about these poor folks’ pain and misery and break out into maniacal laughter from time to time. It should be a good day.
Careful. I’m starting to wonder about @rightangles comment about dying – Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing? Maybe once in a while during the day you should go look at pictures of sad puppies or something to bring yourself back down.
Just looks like a snowflake to me.
Oh yeah? Well here he was on Election day!
We can send this to all of the poor little things:
So sorry, She. I’m not sure how it got broken. I fixed it.
Here’s a bonus link for my mistake. This one made me smile, too!

EDIT: Sorry, need to warn you that there’s some Leftist cursing on this site, too.
Phrasing!!
Yay! We still have “phrasing”!
Of course! :)

Oh! @jctpatriot, you. Are. On. Fire!
Lemme tone the thread up a bit:
“When in disgrace *with fortune and men’s eyes
I all alone**bewail my outcast fate
And trouble deaf Heaven***with my bootless cries
And look upon myself****, and curse my fate..”
( *”disgrace”… I’ll say. You bozos lost big, and every day the sobriquet “Crooked Hillary” becomes more apt!
**”alone”…..well, even if you do assemble a mob, you’re alone: we’re onto you, and we will isolate you like a viral infection.
*** this whole line, too perfect, no gloss needed
**** yes, just look at yourselves, grown people getting together to raise a mighty, uh whine. Go ahead, use your freedom of assembly to rage against the constitutional system which provides it! Oh yuh, .it’s historic all right. No wait, I meant histrionic.)
Hey, just one thing if it’s not too much trouble: couldja, maybe, pick up your used tissues when it’s over? Thanks–

I’d like to be there just to cheer with joy. If I must, I will cheer from my own doorway.
I thought this was a joke at first too. But the left really IS different, we can’t fathom how much they live through their emotions. Maybe screaming will somehow help them cope, it’s beyond me however.
One other thing. You might enjoy watching a couple of episodes of “American Horror Story” from this season.
I found the election night scenes in the opening episode hysterical. The producers have managed to paint a wonderful picture of Progressives. Aimed at conservatives and shot themselves right in the a……….
I’m endlessly amused that there are going to be people who do this screaming at the sky thing on November 8th, regardless of whether or not this is a satirical article. On election night, Terry and I kept flipping back and forth between CNN and MSNBC till 2 AM just to giggle at all the anchors who looked like they were about to cry.
Hahaha!
Wait… is it bad for me to laugh so uproariously?
Thank you, dear Hypatia! You are one of the reasons I enjoy hanging out here. Whether we’re haranguing the Leftists or dancing to the Win Music, it’s always a blast! Ricochet is one of the best places on virtual Earth.
I wonder if it’s possible this actually is the lady protesting too much.
No, seriously, I think a lot of people—especially young people—professing a leftist outlook (No other would be acceptable in their social environments.) are unconsciously—if not consciously and secretly—relieved Trump won.
I can’t help suspecting a lot of the people planning to participate in this group howl are people who know exactly how asinine and ridiculous it looks and want it to look that way.
