An 'incompetent monster'

"Hate and racism win"

________________

I turned off the TV last night before 9 and got election updates on Twitter.

So I wake up this morning to find that a blissfully ignorant sexual predator - or  "incompetent monster" as someone has called him - will soon be in charge of our country.

And because I didn't watch any TV, I'm just now hearing for the first time that He Who Shall Not be Named said this: "Now it's time for America to bind the wounds of division — have to get together. To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people."

Wow. After a year and half of ripping at the fabric of our democracy you say that?

After a year and half of dividing the country with your vile hate speech, you suddenly want to "unite" us?

That's chutzpah.

Make no mistake...his candidacy was not about a successful businessman deciding that at age 70 it was time to give back to his country, or make it "great again."

This was about a racist sociopath who has spent his entire life exacting revenge from people he feels have disrespected him.

And when Barack Obama - the nation's first Black president - mocked and humiliated this hollow shell of a man at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner, he decided to get his revenge. He decided to run for president.

And for a year and a half after he announced he was running, he did nothing but spew hatred, lies and ignorance.

He insulted his way through the Republican debates where he offered no ideas or solutions.

When asked by journalists what made him qualified to be president he said "I've built great companies," before changing the subject and pointing out that he "wrote" a best selling book or that he had a highly-rated TV show.

In January, this con man and sideshow freak will move into the White House - the same White House once occupied by Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK, and most recently Barack Obama.

Nothing good will come from this, Nothing. 

God help us all.

Here's a video of a baby iguana trying to outrun a bunch of sea snakes

Here's the video from the BBC's Planet Earth II series that's got the Internet talking.

It just may be the greatest chase scene ever filmed.

Sir David Attenborough spent three years filming 'Planet Earth II'

Planet Earth II involved 117 filming trips in 40 countries [over the course of three years], and the latest UHD and HDR formats were used in tandem with ultra-lightweight cameras and drones. All this kit enabled the crew to capture wildlife in a more crisp and immediate way than ever.

“Visually, where Planet Earth took an almost God-like perspective and said ‘Let’s look down on the Earth and see the scale of the planet’, what Planet Earth II is doing is saying ‘Let’s get ourselves into the lives of the animals, and see it from their perspective,’” producer Mike Gunton said.

“The visual signature of the series is that you feel like the camera is with the animals. It’s very fluid, very active. For example, you might see this wonderful lemur leaping through the forest. Normally when we’d film that, we’d be standing back observing it, but here the lemur almost jumps over your shoulder and as it’s jumping over your shoulder, you’re with it - the camera is running with it!” [via]

President Obama just mocked Donald Trump for having his Twitter privileges revoked

Donald Trump's handlers and surrogates have spent the better part of a year and a half trying to convince Americans that Donald Trump is fit to be President.

But late this morning the New York Times posted a story that revealed his campaign team has revoked his Twitter privileges.

Several advisers warned him that he risked becoming like a wild animal chasing its prey so zealously that it raced over a cliff — a reminder that he could pursue his grievances and his eagerness to fling insults, but that the cost would be a plunge into an electoral abyss.

Taking away Twitter turned out to be an essential move by his press team, which deprived him of a previously unfiltered channel for his aggressions.

Well it didn't take long for the news to reach Barack Obama who was campaigning in Florida today....

"Apparently his campaign has taken away his Twitter."

"In the last two days, they had so little confidence in his self control, they said: 'We're just going to take away your Twitter.' Now, if somebody cant handle a Twitter account, they can't handle the nuclear code."

"If somebody starts tweeting at three in the morning because SNL made fun of you, then you can't handle the nuclear codes."

Here's a video of a duck playfully chasing a dog

Bonus video .... Baby ducks follow a dog everywhere.

People are losing their minds over the green coffee cups at Starbucks which means Christmas is just around the corner

Via Adweek: "Heading into the holiday season, Starbucks wants Americans to feel united again after a brutal election season. But Americans clearly just aren't ready for that. They want to fight—over the color of a cup."

@Starbucks stop pushing your liberal bullshit and sell coffee. Lifelong customer becoming disgusted with the forced agenda. #HolidayCupsNow

But a Facebook user has this to say about the controversy, "If your biggest complaint is the cup your fancy coffee is served in, I want your life."
