It was all bullshit, and reminded me of what an old girlfriend once said to me many years ago about an old boyfriend of hers, and how he was “sincere about his insincerities.” If you can understand that sentiment, then you’re smarter than I am. I mean that very sincerely.” And, at that moment, Donald Trump did sound sincere, the most even remotely sincere I’ve ever heard him sound throughout this whole show. Then Donald Trump came out and spoke to everyone about the victory, and congratulated Hillary Clinton and her family on a “very, very hard-fought campaign” and how “we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service for our country. And right below was the heartbreaking caption, “Clinton Calls Trump To Concede Election.” After about six hours of kick-ass sleep, I woke up to a fucking nightmare. Then, at about 2:45am Eastern time, I woke up to Donald Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, speaking. And, for about six hours, I slept pretty well. It was early in the election, and many of the states’ results hadn’t come in. – I used the white noise of the election coverage to help me sleep. ![]() ![]() On Tuesday, Novem– Election Day here in the U.S. I am still feeling numb about the end result of the 2016 presidential election here in America. No, I’m not quoting the 1993 U2 song “Numb,” although the lyric is the same. ![]()
