Suicide Prevention Phone Lines Light Up After Bloated Stink Fish Elected President
In the aftermath of the U.S. presidential elections, the suicide prevention phone lines at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline were busier than ever before. According to John Draper, the lifeline director, and his colleagues, between 1 and 2 a.m. alone there were 660 calls, which is three times the volume they were previously dealing with.
The statistic is all the more dire as the call rates were already higher than usual when this happened, as the volume was already tripled compared with its normal rates.
The trend was confirmed to have raised with other similar services as well, and Draper confirmed that in his 25 years of experience in the field, he had never experienced anything similar to this situation. Another spike the company had recorded took place after 9/11, when calls at the New York city hotline he owned back then raised over their normal parameters. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)

Detroit Pistons Coach Stan Van Gundy Doesn't Mince Words When Discussing Tump
Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy noticed the quietness on this morning’s bus ride to Talking Stick Resort Arena.
He wondered whether his team was still thinking about its embarrassing 32-point loss to the Los Angeles Clippers two nights ago. But backup center Aron Baynes let him know that wasn’t it. He told Van Gundy that the players’ thoughts were on Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential election Tuesday night.
That result disgusted Van Gundy. In a six-minute diatribe today, Van Gundy unloaded on the unconventional candidate who rose from being an underdog in GOP primaries to occupying the most powerful office in the world.
“I don't think anybody can deny this guy is openly and brazenly racist and misogynistic,” Van Gundy said. “We have just thrown a good part of our population under the bus, and I have problems with thinking this is where we are as a country.”
After he finished his rant, he said he didn’t feel like discussing the game against the Phoenix Suns. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)

Russia Admits To Talking With Trump Campaign
Be scared america, But not too scared, you want to keep down those Chocodiles.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said the Russian embassy in the U.S. held talks with the Trump camp that “were on a sufficient, responsible level.” Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump, said in an e-mail that she was “not aware” of any meetings by campaign representatives with Russian diplomats.
Ryabkov said the talks were “part of routine everyday work.” There was also “sporadic” contact with the Clinton team, though it was “not always productive,” he said. Calls to members of Clinton’s former campaign team for comment weren’t immediately returned.
Trump has said he’d welcome better ties with Russia, would be willing to cooperate with Putin to defeat Islamic State in Syria, and may even consider recognizing the Kremlin’s annexation of Crimea. Cont.

"This Is Literally White Supremacy’s Last Stand In America" - Journalist Lets Loose During Election Coverage
The raw emotions of one Canadian news pundit covering the U.S. presidential election struck a chord with many on social media Tuesday night.
As it was becoming apparent Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was likely to win the White House, activist Danielle Moodie-Mills disagreed with a CBC anchor who speculated that Americans could not “accept a woman in that job.”
“I do not believe that this is people saying I couldn’t possibly have a woman in this role,” Moodie-Mills insisted. “This is so much bigger than that. This is about — and I will say it because I have literally nothing left to lose tonight — this is literally white supremacy’s last stand in America. This is it. This is what this looks like.”
“This was black people being pushed out of rallies. This was a young boy with cerebral palsy and having his wheelchair kicked,” she continued. “This is hatred on a level that we have not seen since Jim Crow.” Cont. (Video)

Two Men Fight At Polling Station, One Man Claims He Has A Gun
Story out of Palm Beach County, Florida:
Deputies say a 39-year-old man was videotaping a 68-year-old man with his cellphone.
The person being recorded didn’t like it and slapped the phone out of the photographer’s hand.
The younger man then struck the 68-year-old causing him to fall down, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
Worried about his safety, the man on the ground said he had a weapon but did not threaten to use it, the sheriff’s office said.
It turned out that he had a concealed weapons permit, investigators said. However, he is facing a charge of simple battery and criminal mischief and he received a notice to appear. Cont.

Glimmer - US States Overwhelmingly Vote To Legalize Marijuana
The war on drugs took a decisive turn on Election Day.
California and Massachusetts have voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. Voters in Arkansas, Florida, and North Dakota also passed ballot initiatives legalizing medical marijuana.
The results are unprecedented, though not all that surprising. More Americans favor outright marijuana legalization than ever before. A recent Gallop Poll data showed an increase in support from 35% of US adults in favor of legalization in 2005, to 60% in 2016. Cont.

Former KKK Leader David Duke Celebrates Trump Victory
A former Ku Klux Klan leader – or 'grand wizard' – has suggested fascists had helped Donald Trump win the US presidential election.
David Duke, who once led the neo-Nazi, white-supermacist organisation, tweeted the claim on election night.
“This is one of the most exciting nights of my life,” Mr Duke wrote.
“Make no mistake about it, our people have played a huge role in electing Trump!”
During the election campaign, Mr Trump only hesitantly denounced Mr Duke and the KKK, but that did not deter the far-right politician. Cont.

Trump Supporter Uses Pepper Spray On Voter
Story out of Jupiter, Florida:
Jupiter police are investigating the altercation between Tom Garrecht, who voted for Hillary Clinton, and Donna Tatlici, who was handing out Donald Trump literature at the site.
Tatlici, 58, said she has been at the Jupiter Community Center volunteering for a week when Garrecht, 52, arrived to vote and screamed at her, “I don’t need anyone to tell me who to vote for.”
Tatlici responded, “I’m not here to do that. I’m just here to give you the information.”
After Garrecht voted, Tatlici said he exited the polling site, charged at her and “came right into my face,” and was yelling expletives at her.
Tatlici warned Garrecht that she had pepper spray on her key chain and that he should back away.
As the shouting increased, the two got closer and she pepper-sprayed him. She said at that point Garrecht “put his hand on her shoulder” as the two continued to have words before Garrecht slammed her to the ground and “started punching her.”
Those who saw the altercation say the fight happened in front of some campaign signs for Trump and Republican candidate for U.S. House District 18 Brian Mast. The signs are a legal distance away from the polling place. Cont.

Republican Steve King Threatens To Impeach President Hillary Clinton Before Inauguration Day
So, basically knowing Republicans are dead in the water, they will act like big babies unless you give them all the cookies? Got it.
If Hillary Clinton wins the election Tuesday, a prominent Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee says there will be an immediate move to impeach her before she can even be sworn into office Jan. 20.
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, told WND he has spent the last week ensuring Congress has secured all of the hundreds of thousands of emails examined by the FBI over the last 10 days and has confidence the House could impeach her before she assumes office.
King, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, noted the only alternative to a possible impeachment of a president-elect Clinton would be if a groundswell of American voters rises up to elect Donald Trump.
FBI Director James Comey informed members of Congress on Sunday that a review of the 650,000 emails discovered on a laptop belonging to Anthony Weiner had reinforced his July 5 decision not to refer charges against Hillary Clinton. Cont.

Ruh Roh - Trump In Trouble After Black/Hispanic Turn Out Explodes
Voter turnout among African American and Hispanic voters in the United States has surged in early voting, and this swell of minority participation could spell trouble for Donald Trump's White House hopes.
On Sunday -- the last day of early voting before Election Day on November 8 -- hundreds of people attended "Souls to the Polls" events, aimed at encouraging churchgoers to vote across the key swing state of Florida.
Some came straight from morning worship, wearing three-piece suits and dresses as they made their way past dozens of campaigners hoisting signs for local candidates and urging support for solar energy and education issues.
At one event in central Miami, people held hands and prayed outside an early voting site, while at another in southern Miami-Dade County, about 20 African American men rolled in together on motorcycles.
For some, the vote they cast was as much for Democrat Hillary Clinton as it was against her Republican billionaire challenger.
"I'm scared if Trump wins," said Ines Curbelo, 57, a nurse who described herself as Afro-Cuban and was handing out Democratic flyers at a polling place Cutler Bay, south of Miami. Cont.

‘Rope. Tree. Journalist.’ - Trump And His Deplorables Threaten Journalists
Story out of Minnesota, Minneapolis:
At a Minnesota rally for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump today, Reuters Politics photographed one Trump supporter wearing a pretty provocative T-shirt.
This plays into some of the real estate mogul’s rhetoric over the campaign in which he’s targeted the media as part of the “rigged” system. Recently, the anti-media attitude has spread among his supporters, with rally attendees berating and attacking members of the press, who are typically confined to a media pen at rallies.
Last week, NBC News’ Katy Tur was singled out by the GOP candidate during one of his speeches, where he noted that she wouldn’t be reporting on the crowd size. Tur, who had been the target of Trump’s abuses in the past, was soon harassed by those in attendance. This led to folks on Twitter starting an #ImWithTur hashtag to show support for the reporter.

"Elders Of Zion" - Al Franken Calls Out Antisemitic Undertones In Trump's Last Ad
The Democratic senator for Minnesota, Al Franken, has accused Donald Trump of launching an antisemitic TV advertisement along the lines of the fake Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Franken, who is Jewish, said he immediately was struck by what he called “a German shepherd whistle, a dog whistle” in a new two-minute advert from the Trump campaign, launched as the countdown to Tuesday’s election intensifies.
The film features lurid shots of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve interspersed with images of three prominent Jewish people: Janet Yellen, who chairs the Federal Reserve, the progressive financier George Soros and the Goldman Sachs chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein.
Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, Franken told host Jake Tapper the advert was acting as a “dog whistle to a certain group in the United States”. He called the political commercial “an appeal to some of the worse elements in our society in the closing argument” of the election. Cont.

“Trump’s Victory Is Confirmed" - Indian Group Throws Celebration After Declaring Trump President
Story out of New Delhi, India:
An Indian fringe group on Friday celebrated the “victory” of U.S. presidential contender Donald Trump, hailing his friendship with diaspora Indians and backing his call to ban immigration by Muslims from countries hit by Islamic militancy.
With drums banging and speakers blaring, the Hindu Sena, or Hindu Army, gathered at Jantar Mantar – New Delhi’s answer to London’s Speakers’ Corner – to proclaim to a knot of TV crews that Trump had “already won” the Nov. 8 vote.
“Trump’s victory is confirmed early, due to his thoughts against Islamic terrorism and love for India and Hindus,” said Vishnu Gupta, the Hindu Sena’s self-styled national president.
Its celebration at a roadside stall featured posters bearing the slogans, “India Loves Trump” and “Trump Our Only Hope”. One supporter held up a portrait of Trump with a tilak, or religious mark, on his forehead and held a sweet to his mouth. Cont.

12-Year-Old Boy With Cerebral Palsy Meets Obama After Trump Supporter Kicks His Wheelchair
Fun story, while looking for a picture of Neo-Nazis for a story today, I typed in 'Neo-Nazi march' and guess what popped up?... No, not the Shriners silly, Trump supporters.
Story out of Kissimmee, Florida:
On Saturday, a brave little boy with cerebral palsy was harassed and thrown out of a Trump rally. After hearing about the incident, President Obama spent his entire Sunday afternoon with the 12-year-old sensation, JJ Holmes.
Allison Holmes, JJ’s mother, told Obama that they showed up at the Trump rally in Tampa, Fla. to protest Trump’s mocking of a reporter with disabilities. Trump supporters responded by “chanting ‘U-S-A’ and pushing his wheelchair,” Alison told The Washington Post.
Kimberly DeFalco, a woman who witnessed the events at the Trump rally and spoke about it with Alison, posted on Facebook that Barak Obama and the former secretary of state are two of J.J.’s heroes. DeFalco also helped encourage the meeting between the President and JJ. Cont.
