You're Fired

Ok, now comes the fun part of an election cycle.  Even with an election cycle as repulsive as this one we can not avoid the post election gloating .  It is a tradition that probably goes back to the 1800s, so no need to dispense with this tradition now.  We just need to be thoughtful, I mean it could have gone either way.  And as much fun as it would have been to lord over  a Trump supporter, it is equally as much fun to lord over a Hillary supporter.  But we must be careful.  My wife walked around her job yesterday repeating it is what it is over and over again, just to avoid those who would identify her as a Trump voter.  If she had been so exposed it would have been carte blanch for some form of personal attack, and by the same toke the Trumpers were on the prowl seeking out the horribly foggy Hillary kool aid sippers.

So instead of the spousal gloat, the co worker gloat, the teacher student gloat, the neighbor gloat, cousin , brother in law, mechanic, doctor, dentist  gloat, which only serve to produce an enormous amounts of enmity, a few harsh words, hurt feelings and never speaking to each other again, not to mention the nose punch and black eye type  I suggest we channel differently.

Oh, make no mistake about it , I would love to gloat if I were really feeling great about the outcome. and I would of course find a few folks who were insufferable  in their notion of who should be president,   Including the one who ascribed any Trump supporter as more than deplorable.  But I generally like to have quieter interpersonal relationships and I generally like most people including the most politically uninformed among us, those of course being the ones who disagree with me.

So I thought how can one grab the pleasure of a good gloat and not really offend those close by.
Perhaps I could go down to one of those Move On Org  street protest with a Trump Uber Alles sign, but in thinking that one through  I thought that I would probably wind up beaten to a pulp and stuffed in a dumpster, for those people sure are not acting the way White Middle Class Republicans  acted after Mitt lost to Barrack.  Those folks got up the next morning and said TSK and went to work.  The move oners  don't get up in the morning and of course they never go to work. So I don't think that gloating there would work out to well for me beyond the first 30 seconds.  30 seconds being the limit of my ability to run at top speed.

Sending smiling selfies of myself in a Make America Great Trucker Cap has some romance, but only if it gets to Debbie Wasserman Schultz and John Podesta.  But being that they are so stupid they would probably not get the whole point.

So in thinking it through further, I want to gloat over those who were the most intolerable during the cycle  and that would be the press and the punditry and the media elites who arguably took leave of any semblance of fairness and credibility.  They deserve to be called out.  You could not ever get to be more wrong about anything that they were this year.  Which just goes to show, they don't have the sense God gave a gnat.

So I think that I  shall start a letter writing campaign asking the media bosses to cull the herd.

I am thinking that NBC could shit can the likes of Nicole Wallace, Chuck Todd and of course Andrea Mitchell, each of whom shove Hillary as God Queen down our throats  at each turn. Andrea with her gushing and fawning caused me to vomit in my mouth too many times, who could  not want cold revenge on her.  Chuck Todd with his snarkiness and Nicole Wallace with her light weight needle deserve the same.  You're Fired.

Over at Fox we can throw in Carl Cameron  and Charles Krauhammer , both of whom could never quite contain their revulsion of Trump.  CNN  or the Clinton News Network can be encouraged to start with a clean slate of on air personnel.   Likewise the Washington Post which allowed its ownership to use it as a vehicle to avoid anti trust action, in its other business arena,  should Hillary be elected.  The Gray Lady the New York Times  doesn't need to clean house because on its current course there is no house left.  But all over the land we should all be sending our letters telling the media outlets

"You're Fired"

The despicable partisanship of American Media makes them unreliable.  We are better off being uninformed than being misinformed. A year and a half of keeping us all totally in the dark about what is really happening in the world so they could give us up to date 24 hour per day coverage of every time Trump uttered a stupid remark or passed gas was absurd.  Got back and seek out what happened in the last year and a half, you would be surprised.

 And that is something we can all gloat about.  And my kind of gloating is not likely to produce knock down mashed potato flinging at the family Thanksgiving Dinner.  Think about the possibilities before you gloat, no need to get a gravy bowl in the face. but you will get the satisfaction of a good gloat by taking out on the media, rather than on family and friends.
