Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The wealth of the 10 richest people in the world – a list dominated by US tech billionaires – increased by a record amount after Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, according to a widely cited index.

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated that the world’s 10 wealthiest people gained nearly $64bn (about £49.5bn) on Wednesday, the largest daily increase since the index began in 2012.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, registered the largest increase with a $26.5bn addition to his fortune, which now stands at $290bn. The prominent backer of Trump’s campaign, benefited from a surge in the share price of Tesla, the electric carmaker where he is chief executive and in which he owns a 13% stake.

Yup. We all vote on the meal we will eat and lots of folk don't like the week old pumpernickel so won't vote for it and for some reason lots of folks like to vote for the dogshit with ground glass mixed into it because they think its funny to watch other people eat it.

The majority of the political videos showing up on my YouTube feed after the election was just right wingers laughing at "the left."

Their whole identity is hating others.

Interesting they all of a sudden have absolutely zero concerns that our "deep state" will roll in any second now to undo the election

Trump on election night: "MASSIVE FRAUD IN PENNSYLVANIA, POLICE INCOMING!"

He wins big: "teehee, what fraud? I never said that."

Trump is unaccountable, that's apparently his identity. It doesn't matter if he did say or didn't say anything.
