Four years ago, GOP operative Karl Rove was embarrassing himself on TV refusing to believe the election results showing that Barack Obama was re-elected President. Today, Democrats realize they could have learned a lot from Mr. Rove’s confusion.

Also, where should the Left focus its political activism now? Against Trump or against Senate Democrats to make sure they don’t give an inch to the racist real estate mogul. We discuss with By Any Means Necessary host Eugene Puryear and Bob Schlehuber.

And it’s Friday, so someone is getting trashed. We present a special Trump cabinet-themed Garbage Can segment.

The two Sams try to bite their tongue, and not say, “I told you so,” upon news that Trump defeated Clinton in an historic election Tuesday night.

Also, Our first post-election People’s Bulletin features crucial economic news. Markets are reacting to Trump’s victorious message against “the rigged system.” Investors think this means high profits for banks, pharmaceutical companies, weapons manufacturers and the Private Prison industry.

And one way to deal with the Trump presidencies is to just get really high. Luckily a lot of states can accommodate that now. We’ve got a run down of ballot measures from Tuesday night, including the ones that legalized pot.

Finally, to tie up other election-related loose ends, we’ll be bringing back The Week’s national correspondent, Ryan Cooper, for a discussion on our future. Spoiler: it’s grim.

Two big questions are on the nation’s mind this election day: Who will win? And what does Donald Trump conceding look like?

Also, a last minute campaign ad blitz is hitting the nation's capitol, and is aimed at driving a wedge between Hillary Clinton and racist football fans. The DCist’s Rachel Kurzius is on with that story.

And, spooked by election insecurities, the Justice Department announced they would indeed be sending poll observers around the country, but a low fewer overseers than in previous years. That story coming up.

There has been a lot of talk about what legal troubles might follow Clinton into the White House. But how about Trump? His business practices came under fire from labor regulators last week. And his likely-Attorney General might find himself threatened with the slammer soon. More on that soon.

Plus, James Comey’s FBI just keeps embarrassing itself. But it's important to remember that the bureau has a long history of embarrassments even before Mr. Comey showed up--and after he did, too. The ACLU’s Kade Crockford joins us to explain.

Finally, if you think Public Relations fluff online is unbearable, then I’ve got some bad news for you. According to a survey,the lobbying industry thinks that the future is meme-able. We’ll explain in our People’s Bulletin.

Donald Trump’s ghostwriter want to remind everyone that the GOP nominee “will ban all Muslims, believes Mexicans are rapists, pays no taxes, feels free to assault women, and lies compulsively.” Unfortunately that message is being lost under an avalanche of conspiracy theories coming out of the Clinton campaign.

Also, we might be confined to the noose that is the Beltway, but today we talk to a guy who lives in a real-live Swing State, folks! Paul Blest, a journalist based in Raleigh, North Carolina, will join us to talk about politics in the Toss-Up Tar Heel State.

And, Trump has ragged on China quite a bit during this election. Well now the East Asian Power had a few choice words for Trump, over the GOP nominee’s commitment to killing a climate treaty. We’ll recap the dustup in our sludge report.
