Good morning, Blinders!
Wow. That was one wild ride!
How do you feel this morning?
We imagine some of you feel like these Donald Trump supporters:
And some of you feel like these Hillary Clinton supporters:
Regardless of whether or not your candidate of choice won, you should be proud of yourself if you participated in the election process and VOTED!
Speaking of which, here are five Blinders who VOTED and who are now winners of gift cards to either Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. Check your email, kids!

Congratulations to all the winners!
Are you feeling like a winner this morning?
mommagoosed says
Congratulations to all of the winners! Yep, always feel like a winner. 😎
tell me more says
The more honest/less scandalous person won
KellyNotRipa says
Agreed. A lot of the things she is guilty of were swept under the rug.
On another note…I’m truly surprised by all of the hate on facebook from people claiming they voted for love. Had a friend calling people devils if they voted for trump, another saying if you voted for trump they don’t want to know you anymore, and another saying they felt sorry for you if you voted for trump and that you must be a bigot, racist, homophobe, etc. Lots of accusations and hate being thrown around.
spaceship says
Like it or not, Donald Trump is the next president of the United States of America. Sob, whine, hate, complain, protest, etc, all you want, it will not change a change. The people voted, the results are final…….deal with it, and get on with your lives.
Cuddlebutt says
Not really. The energy is just revving up. And it has given me a headache.
JerzeyJenn says
“GOT MY GIFT CARD!”
I absolutely❤ LOVE? my morning?
☕coffee…
Thank you kindly BG for the generous and thoughtful gift.?
I sincerely appreciate it.
rorythedragon says
Received my gift ecard, thank you, Ace!!! It takes the sting out of this election and it’s a pretty good birthday present from BG!! I vote for Peace because it feels so much better than anger! Let’s move forward!
NativeAtlantaGirl says
Supporter of neither. Think we lost either way. Trump’s trial for Trump U in 19 days… I think you have to wait until Pres-elect has taken the oath before impeachment can begin.
Squeezes99 says
LOL, I doubt that a GOP-controlled Congress will be impeaching the Republican president, but it’s fun to dream.
I Am PunkA says
I didn’t vote for Trump or Hillary, but I am feeling strangely ok. Trump is a moderate Democrat basically, and he gets to work with a moderate Republican Senate and House. I think people need to take deep breaths and realize the end is not near.
I must say though that I want to let Miley Cyrus, Amy Schumer, Bryan Cranston, and all the other celebs that said they are mvoing if Trump wins that I am happy to help them pack. Except you Samuel L. Jackson. We all want you to stay.
heynow says
Ditto to all of it.
Ashkay says
Yeah reversing gay marriage and gay conversion shock therapy is so moderate republican. Give me a break. Celebs have the right to speak their minds, but you people want to run people out of the country who genuinely care about minorities
northofyou says
Ashkay, I’m with you. I didn’t vote for Hillary or Trump. I voted my conscience. But I believe Hillary was the less evil of two decidedly evil candidates, only because she would have protected the rights of gays, minorities, and women, even while she continued to sell out to Wall Street and the banks People who think Trump is honest astound me.
countervail says
He’ll be an absent/bad manager and will let a CONSERVATIVE congress go wild. The last few session they tried passing various anti-abortion measures, above anything else, DOZENS of times. He’ll be ineffectual at best, destructive at worst from mismanagement.
woowoo says
The abortion issue has me more scared than anything. Did not Prohibition teach us anything? People didn’t stop drinking because it became illegal. Women will not stop having abortions if it becomes illegal. They will simply start dying more- which defeats the whole “all life is precious” thing.
luthien3000 says
So double-up on protection; get a hysterectomy/vasectomy. Or, how about this: abstain till you’re ready and just masturbate until then. Have some self-control.
Nataliexyz says
Agree with I Am PunkA. Also, people need to just give him a chance before making broad statements about what he will or won’t do.
PatioPrincess says
Well said!
deering says
Your health doesn’t depend on the ACA. I have friends whose jobs don’t have health insurance, and the ACA is literally life or death to them.
Wannabe Sherlock says
I don’t like his stance on abortion or the environment, but he is / was the lesser of 2 evils and , as Mae West said, ‘When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I haven’t tried before.’
However, Bryan needs to stay. The rest of them can leave asap.
4sixx2 says
??I AM a Winner~ I received my Winner Notification!!! ?? I’m as thrilled about THIS as much as the Trump win! ???? I’m also so pleased that you added the Dunkin’ option!! ☕️☕️ Congrats to my fellow winners, Jenn, Rory, Sunshine & Pizza! Thank you, Ace, you’re the Best!! ? **Ace for the Whitehouse, 2020!!**
4sixx2 says
??I GOT MY CARD!!!?? Thanks again, Ace!
Vagabondage says
I’m hungover this morning. I trust this country to make the best of any bad situation — both were/are very flawed people, so I’m taking the “wait and see” approach. It’s the best I can do right now.
bertwheeler says
Well, I feel like a winner in that I had a feeling he was going to win.
America has survived wars, slavery, earthquakes, epidemics, assassinations, crack, meth, etc. America is stronger than any president.
heartcouture says
I’m happy with the election results. Congrats winners! ?
sunshine702 says
Thank you for the gift card Ace!!! Appreciate.
I’ve lived through a few presidential cycles. Some went my way some didn’t. The pendlum swings. To be honest I think the media was the real loser in all of this. The day of them TELLING us what to think because their talking heads are SMARTER is over! Revenge of the common person.
Gemzan says
Congratulations, Blind Gossip winners!
Definitely feeling like a winner, although a very sleepy winner after staying up until 5:30 am watching the election results. 🙂
elliedee says
Everyone who exercised their right to vote should feel like a winner – I always feel empowered when I emerge from that voting booth. You are the biggest winner, Ace, because of the classy way you’ve steered BG’s tone during this really unpleasant election season. Congrats to you and to the 5 winners of the gift cards :>)
LooLoo says
I agree. Though I didn’t win. 🙁 But I liked the way the discussions were kept civil here and Ace kept it from getting crazy. Everyone has their own opinions, and everyone is entitled to them, even if they aren’t the same as yours. That’s what America is all about.
Kerzep says
I can’t stop crying.
mschievous says
Amen!
PghDude says
I feel great.
The stain of the Clintons is gone and we get a chance to continue what Reagan started years ago.
Also, we get a chance to renegotiate NAFTA and our other bad deals, like Iran.
All we have gotten is a chance to get some things done.
MizGrandma says
I am heartsick for the country I love, for the futures of my grandchildren & great-grandchildren, for that of our planet. This is not a day of pride for me.
TeacherKat says
I was feeling fine until I saw the results of our states propositions. Ugh. In Ca, we drcided to raise our already high taxex and we have decided plastic bags are evil and need to be banned, but we also decided to give early parole to “non-violent” criminals. Funny, I don’t consider rape, arson, assault with a deadly weapon, taking a hostage, human trafficking or gang drive-bys to be non-violent. So sure, release these criminals early but goodness, we have to get rid of those evil bags…
Heathersmist says
Actually with you on the taxes and especially the parole measure. Really bad move.
Moonpie says
California sarcasm. Always voting democrat no matter what. It’s suicide with a dull spoon. The state needs to secede from the union. If Trump offered to lower taxes, Ca people would get angry with him or anyone that would benefit the state as such. It’s hopeless. Same for New York and Massachusetts.
Frantastic74 says
We have had plastic bag ban in Seattle for 2 years. U still get the produce ones. It’s not a bag thing actually. Sometimes I get them but there were too many. Paper better for getting recycling out. I was freaked out too. But I do get a bunch in Idaho at my dads for doggie poo bags when I visit. Don’t worry. More food and double paper it. Instead of 10 little plastic bags dragging to ur car
totskie says
I agree with you.
TulipInBloom says
Im looking forward to Change not necessarily Trump. But I’m pissed that the rest of my state, CA, voted to give parole to “non-violent” offenders who may just happen to be child rapists and human traffickers. Can these idiots even be bothered to read the initiatives???
TeacherKat says
I really think people just go by what they see on tv. I was talking with people at work and they didn’t realize Measure M (in Los Angeles county) was an increase in sales tax. They just thought that traffic is bad and needs to change. They were mad when they realized it was a tax! I also heard people talking about how “it’s just a bond, it’s not a tax.” Um, you have to pay for the bonds eventually, often through tolls, fees or taxes!
jerseygrl31 says
That effing sucks, sorry to hear that! I’m from NJ, and this gas tax raise that Christie approved has me pissed off as *!
Heathersmist says
Praying this stays peaceful, and trying to take in what this all means for the Country, environment and women.
In other words; Guess you all got what you want, let’s wait and see if what you want is what you got!
Moonpie says
When are the exiting celebs listing their homes. I want to buy a house. But really, I’m not going to go crazy because he won. Some past elections have saddened me and I survived. The sun always rises. Take heart.
mizzavrid says
Right on my sister. So sickening!
august says
I also voted.
afternoondelight says
Its so strange that some think it is the end for us and others see a new beginning. How does that even happen? I am encouraged by what happened because I think it shows the true American spirit. This country started by kicking out the old government. DC has become too big for its breeches and needed a kick in its a r se. At least we didn’t have to go to war this time.
PatioPrincess says
While he is a crass, bombastic windbag, I’m ready for him to drain the D.C. swamp and get things done for all Americans. He’s great with business/finance so I hope this will benefit our country. I do feel badly for the dems that lost as I’m sure they’re crying in their cornflakes today, but, it will all be okay. It might even be the best thing that could happen to America. Let’s give him a chance and see what he can do.
parkland45 says
Amen, Pink Crayon. You nailed it.
dreameroc says
Again for the 100th time
Hilary was endorsed by kkk
Anybody can endorse anybody what’s more important is that Sen. Bryd head of kkk best friends with Hilary
These soros protests making me glad got rid of soros
Frantastic74 says
Gore won my 3 million votes. Hillary won popular vote. That’s 2 out 3 elections. Dump the electoral college..so we voted so what. With lotus out votes don’t count and the electoral colleges are not representing the people of this happens. I’m finding out how to create a bill or a lawsuit to ammendment the constition.. FBI crap and now trump was talking to the Russians. All of us wd be in jail for 20 years of no taxes. We’re doomed. 2000 all over again. 2 recessions 9-11. History repeats…
artistsnow says
He didn’t even win the election. HIllary won the popular vote. That’s the vote that counts.
Electoral College belongs to history and a country that no longer exists.
The people voted for Hillary.
pinkcaddygirl says
I feel AMAZING!!!
