You can't make this up. A woman complains in the Washington ____ that the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency ruined her chances at a decent love life:
In August, I went on six dates in one week. I had decided that I was ready to look for a partner. Enough of this dating unavailable men a half-decade younger than me. They’d never seriously consider a relationship with me, my two children and our needy dog. No. I wanted to find an equal. A man who wouldn’t feel the need to step in and rescue me. I didn’t need rescuing.What a pitiful person. No candidate is worth that kind of self-inflicted misery.
But I knew deep down that was only partially true. I often felt the sort of loneliness that settled in my stomach, starting from a chaotic afternoon with my children, lasting well into the night when I pulled covers tight around my chin.
I’ve been on my own with my kids for most of the past decade. I have no idea what a supportive partner would even look like in my house. I imagined it as some sort of potluck: We’d both bring the things we have to offer and place them on the table. My ability to multitask and keep everyone’s schedules on track would sit next to his ability to fix cars, cook or read books in silly voices. Then we’d feast.
Of the six first dates I had in August, two men seemed promising. One of them met me at a brewery. We chatted happily through two beers. Finally I was out of a job interview mode I’d fallen into while sitting across from strangers. I relaxed. I laughed. And it wasn’t the laugh I did just because. It was real.
We dated for a few weeks before he admitted he wasn’t ready for something serious. Two days later, the other of those good dates called me out of the blue. We talked for a while, and I asked him to dinner. Things were falling into place. A feast was laid out on the table, and it looked delicious. But two weeks later, the election happened. Once it was clear that Donald Trump would be president instead of Hillary Clinton, I felt sick to my stomach. I wanted to gather my children in bed with me and cling to them like we would if thunder and lightning were raging outside, with winds high enough that they power might go out. The world felt that precarious to me....
I’ve lost the desire to attempt the courtship phase. The future is uncertain. I am not the optimistic person I was on the morning of Nov. 8, wearing a T-shirt with “Nasty Woman” written inside a red heart. It makes me want to cry thinking of that. Of seeing my oldest in the shirt I bought her in Washington, D.C., that says “Future President.”
There is no room for dating in this place of grief. Dating means hope. I’ve lost that hope in seeing the words “President-elect Trump.” Rest of article

The high theater of the last month has been more than fruitful. Just let them keep doing it.
She has a hell of a lot more to worry about than her love life in the next 4 years. I wonder if the Vanity Tour will last that long.
10-15% of the population suffers from mental illness.
Finding one of those unfortunate people and holding them up as an example of liberalism or conservatism or a supporter of any candidate or any cause or any religion is not difficult.
You could have posted about the dangerous Pizzagate gunman and Trump's campaign staffer who also believed in Pizzagate.
Crazy thought patterns are crazy thought patterns.
Some would suggest that those who tweet about conspiracies that don't exist and for which there is no evidence and those who defend those tweets with convoluted excuses aren't operating in the world of reality either.
My guess is that this woman wouldn't have much of a love life under any circumstance, she probably drove each of those men away with her political blather and discussion of all of the conjured injustices foisted upon her. This is the problem with identity politics and the idea that the only acceptable solution is the one you espouse. Time to grow up and realize that you're not always right about everything and simply complaining and attacking those who don't see things your way won't make you look any smarter or actually solve any problem, no matter how small.
Same sort of absurd self-centered balderdash we're treated to by the stale Jackson Fake Press.
I agree, 6:38 a.m. People have lost respect for a differing opinion. If you have a different opinion, then you are evil and corrupt (and should be shot). I did not grow up this way. If you had a different opinion, you acknowledged it and moved on. Sometimes, I learned something from the differing opinion. But to hate someone for a diverse opinion shows intolerance.
What a shame. Sounds like a real catch. She should move to Reunion.
O liberals...This is rich. She is unsure of the uncertainty. On the other end of the spectrum, have you seen the ones who were uncertain of the last 8 years? Markets exploding. We're talking all time highs. I know my business has been booming with sales since the day he took office. Liberals preach tolerance and acceptance, but only if it fits their agenda. They are all proving what got Trump elected.
Obama did a fantastic job encouraging the American populace to arm itself.
Looks like JT has infiltrated your blog Kingfish, or is it just a simpleton who doesn't want to entertain opposing views.
8:24, not everyone did so well. Many people went out of business. You are fortunate. Now, the lady will raise those little boys to be bigger adult little boys and perpetuate her idiocracy.
My how the liberals are melting. You get a president who has a backbone instead of one (Obama) who apologizes to the world. It's time we stop clearing to these other countries, stop immigration and keep our money here.
She doesn't need a partner she needs a psychiatrist. Seriously! If the election has impacted you in such a way that you can no longer face the world and must huddle in a corner with your kids then you have issues that need to be addressed. I can only imagine how lucky her date was to find out he dodged a bullet on this one.
Who won the election had nothing to do with this woman's problem with men. Sounds like she wasn't having much success long before the election. No she has something to blame it on. Instead of looking for the real reason men could not stand to be around her she found something completely unrelated to blame it on.
It happens quite a bit.
I agree with 6:22 AM. There is a certain percent of crazies out and about in the world. There are a certain percent of people who will blame their failures on other people or things. I for one take full responsibilities for my failures & try to learn from them. Trump will be no more or less a better or worse President than all the other 45.
With all this social media about we really see the weakest link in the chain in our society. I watch a video of a women kicking her 10 year old child out of the house for voting for Trump. This was on the kingfish blog. How sick is this. Any have a very Merry Christmas, if you believe in that stuff.
She sounds like 2 many women i have known in my single days. She has a 2's problem, 2 kids by 2 different men 2 many bills an 2 many problem's
Wow and she's been "without a partner" for a decade??? One could only wonder why that is!!
Snowflakes melt. Even if they're fat.
6:14 Guess Obama's taxpayer funded vanity tour ("Farewell" tour) is a-ok! And the tax payer funded vanity tour he took to shill for Hillary was swell! And the millions he sent to Iran? Nothing to do with Boeing, just an Early Christmas gift or a late bribe or something! NBD! And the 65k hotdog parties funded by taxpayers?? It's his privilege!
If Trump wants to run 50 laps around the White House holding a flag that says "I won! deal with it!," he has every right to. Let me know when he sends you a bill to pay for it, like I get every year in January from the IRS.
I'm so glad I'm married. The dating scene seems to be filled with prescription drug crazies
@8:24. Trump has not taken office yet...
Election does NOT equal inauguration. Has the Electoral College even met yet?
Yeah, these unverified personal anecdotes prove everything.
Yep I agree folks who tune in to Super Talk are here in force.These guys will never admit it when Trump makes a mistake, they will just more the goalpost.Old Bob Dole just played him for a fool with Tiwan. Most of the folks he's nominating haven't got a clue about the jobs they are going to asked to do. Is it because those who are actually qualified have refused to work for him, for fear that their reputation will be ruined.I can't wait to read the book, he can't use non disclosure clauses anymore and I am pretty sure the left has infiltrated his staff. It wasn't hard, all they did was give him a compliment.
I can't believe Mr.Trump is taking advice from President Obama. So much for draining the Swamp
On the first leg of his Vanity Tour in Indiana he said 1100 jobs were being saved. Actually the state is going to pay a $7 million bribe for 800 jobs. Once United Technologies get their defense contracts these saved jobs will evaporate too. They are still building that plant in Mexico. Is he being honest? I think not JT.
What does she look like?
This isn't the Kemper power plant, so stop fantasizing. That "bribe" is called a tax rebate. How much do you think it would cost taxpayers to pay unemployment for 900-1100 workers? Estimates are between 6-7 million dollars.
Yall the same people screaming "WALMART IS MOVING TO MEXICO TRUMP IS A LIAR" when the reality is that if every walmart in the United States moved to Mexico it would be great because they are the biggest welfare queen in existence and DESTROY small businesses and communities! They are the biggest employer in this state actually so I wonder why we are so poor LOL. Unfortunately republican bed-wetters, it won't ever happen even if Wal-mart builds 1000 stores in Mexico. But they will employ Mexican workers who will hopefully be inspired to stay in Mexico. #makemexicogreatagain
I have spoken to many people from different countries about Trump's policies - the countries most afraid of Trump's policies seem to be Canada, China, and Yucatan for some reason. Can't wait to overhaul NAFTA and BUILD THE WALL
1:28, it may not be very funny if the electoral college decided to do something different than what it is supposed to do. You think the democrats are acting crazy marching in the street, looting, and burning? Just try putting Hillary in office. The Tea Party will seem like a church social.
1:45...can you name some employees in the Obama regime who had a clue what job they were being put in? Start with Timothy Geitner and move on down those winding halls.
Gates.... Pannetta....Shapiro....M. J. White.....
J.T. Is no simpleton. SuperTalk is a highly rated Station with many listeners who follow the advice closely. He is a highly educated conservative gentleman with well thought out ideas. If my boys grow up to follow his example I will be happy. JT is where it's at!!!
@4:57 I like him but I would not want my son to grow up to be a whining parrot of Feel
