Captures my feeling perfectly. I may or may not have been reading up on countries that are relatively easy for an American to move to at 1:30AM last night.

You're just now reading up on that?

Renewing my research. I had Uruguay pegged in the first Trump administration as my bug out country.

Interesting choice.

It's a Latin American Catholic Govt. where pot and abortion are legal, healthcare is cheap, and it hasn't been run over by American expats yet. However, that was 4 years ago and things change very quickly in South America. It may be a horrible choice today. I can get residency in Italy via my great-grandparents being born there, but's it's not really a better govt option. Better food though. Portugal also appears to be fairly welcoming, however it's kind of overrun now and the locals are starting to resent it.

I kinda like Panama, myself. But not sure any Latin nation will be safe for American citizens, after DJT flings millions of them overboard into random countries to our south.

I guess it's just part of being an old school liberal, I keep thinking people are better than they actually are.

Same. Now I know they’ve seen how he is, and they just don’t care. I fear what’s ahead, and I don’t think that’s paranoia talking.

I'm terrified, April - for myself, a 71 yr old disabled woman, I'm worried about my Social Security and Medicare (not to mention my sanity), for the Country I'm worried about everything from economics, racist actions, future pandemics, his choices for cabinet members, etc! And I'm worried about the rest of the world - how will other countries, such as Ukraine and the Middle East, survive with his crazed ideas and vengefulness?

Israel will be fine.

I'm not worried about Israel - I'm worried about Gaza and the other countries that Netanyahoo is out to destroy - I'm sure that the Orange Man will give him everything he needs to get it done.

Clay, I agree with you 100%. I can't believe all the fucking morons that voted for that shitweasel over an upstanding, smart woman who only wanted to save all of us from what now will be coming our way. God help us all.

I'm devastated. And I have so many questions! What happens to all his legal woes - will they just go away now?? I was really looking forward to seeing him locked up in a suit the color of his orange face. I barely slept last night and when I did sleep I had nightmares. I'm just not sure I can handle another 4 years of this asswipe and his antics. And if he doesn't survive 4 yrs (either due to his own poor physical or mental health or the use of the 25th Amendment) then we've got Justa Dick Vance to contend with, which is even scarier in many ways. I lay in bed last night thinking that I'd be very lucky to get some ailment or injury that required massive amounts of pain meds that I could stockpile 'just in case' I couldn't stand it anymore. (ok, I'll admit it, I'm a drama queen in the middle of the night). I just don't want to become a burden to my only child or my siblings, etc. if social security and Medicare get fucked with in the next few years. Gawd, I'm so disappointed and scared! WTF is wrong with these people that voted for him??

And I couldn't sleep last night either.

All his legal problems will probably go away. The federal ones will be dropped by the stooge he appoints at Attorney General. The state charges in Georgia and New York will probably be dropped. His civil suits and fines may be wiped out in appeals. But we will not see Trump in prison unless they get him for a crime he commits when he's 82.

Great title.

Thank you, Clay. He skates on his convictions. He can help Russia defeat Ukraine. He can dance with Netanyahu. And the 1/6 choir will be free to sing at his events. Feeling such deep disappointment.

Yep, Amurika sucks. Great toon, thanks.

I read this on the *platform once known as Twitter* and agree at this point in my deep disappointment, "Dems did everything we could to stop him last time. Restrain him. Keep things functioning *as normal.* I don’t think we should this time. He won. This is what the people voted for. This is what people want. They should get it. It’s the only way people will learn."

Good work on this, Clay. Thank you.

Have to agree with a lot of your comments. We know this time and we're still buying it. I'm amazed that people are so emotionally driven, that they are grabbing one or two items that feel right and ignoring everything else, but that applies to everyone who thought Kamala would surely win because......

In less than 90 days, it will begin. I hope we survive it. And if we do, I hope we develop a better method for selecting our leaders.

PS - the polling industry needs a full and complete reboot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all the swing states were within the margin of error. They were tied in PA, WI, and MI.

Since there's an outbreak, again, of avian flu which kills chickens and dairy cattle, look for the price of eggs, milk, beef to go way up again. Oh, wait! The Orange Snake and RFK Jr are experts in everything, so they'll come up with a way to cure the critters - no vaccines of course.

That's called deflation, and always results in MASSIVE job losses.
