Snowden wasn’t involved in the email hacks. He’s not a fan of Assange or the Kremlin propaganda vehicle that is now wikileaks. ---

But right now, yeah, it’s mostly minorities. Racist assaults, harassment, and vandalism are sweeping across America. A lot of white people are letting some very ugly things out. ---

Wow, I was just listening to Pink Floyd’s _In the Flesh_ and it sounds like a Trump rally: _We’re gonna find out where you fans_ really stand. Are there any queers in the theater tonight? Get them up against the wall! There’s one in the spotlight, he don’t look right to me, Get him up against the wall! That one looks Jewish! And that one’s a coon! Who let all of this riff-raff into the room? There’s one smoking a joint, And another with spots! If I had my way, I’d have all of you shot! \* Just change “Jewish” to “Muslim.” ---

I think those electricians who do the rigging(see what I did there? ;)) for the rainbow floodlights around the White House had better begin looking for other work. Prompted by an uthreader: Alec Baldwin must be as nervous as a Christian Scientist with appendicitis. Hi Tom Lehrer! 😃 Merrick Garland, Obama’s nominee for SCOTUS. So near, and still as yet, so far. ---

I don’t think Latinos are going to do as bad as expected. The Republican establishment has been after immigration reform for years, it’s their base who won’t let them do it. Trump, who actually was for amnesty before he ran for president, would be the perfect one to get it done. Specially if there are fees involved that can go towards building the wall, so he can claim that Mexico is paying for it (technically Mexicans, but his followers will see very little difference). ---

Why is John Kasich automatically screwed? Kasich knew he was making an enemy and didn’t care, he stood up to the bully like a real man and stuck to his values. I doubt that Trump will go after him, more likely just not do him any favors. So what? Kasich is a very good politician with real experience, this could play out very well for John Kasich in 2020. ---

Correction: My neighbor has security footage. Mr. Cat was hit by a car, then tossed in our yard by another person who wanted it out of the road. ---

Assorted bookmakers got screwed, because they wouldn’t let me place the bets on the election I wanted to make. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/other-than-the-obvious-who-is-screwed-by-a-trump-win/771138.md?page=3)
