    Many of you may already be familiar with the character "Nelson" from The Simpsons. He's famous (infamous?) for the very short quip in the video below. I start this thread as an homage to "buyer's remorse" among certain voters in the US.

    One thing I find fascinating about all three of the above articles is that both their headlines, as well as the entire contents of the story, would fit in perfectly on The Onion, but for the fact that these are actually true. Truth is stranger than fiction, sometimes.

    The creators of South Park have announced that they've given up on trying to parody Trump.

    Says a lot.

    This is, in fact, parody (as much of the articles as the people), but ... read it anyway. It's funny.

    Opinion | Every story I have read about Trump supporters in the past week

    Next to her sits Linda Blarnik. Like the rusty hubcaps hanging on the wall behind her, she was made in America 50 years ago, back when this town made things, a time she still remembers fondly. She says she has had just enough of the “coastal elitist media who keep showing up to write mean things about my town and my life, like that thing just now where you said I was like a hubcap, yes you, stop writing I can see over your shoulder.” Mournfully a whistle blows behind her, the whistle of a train that does not stop in this America any longer.
