Video: Counting of Electoral College Votes The House and Senate convened for a joint session
C-SPAN (video) ^ | 1/6/2017 | U.S. Congress Joint Session

Posted on 01/06/2017 6:12:30 PM PST by Republican Wildcat

It's the sequel 16 years in the making and even better than the original...after their last failed stint in 2001 to overturn an election with multiple bogus objections to the Electoral College Votes, the Congressional Golden Girls return in dramatic fashion with a strong supporting cast of fellow Congressmen and random protesters. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-CA) anchor the starring cast, with a stunning last second cameo performance from Maxine Waters (D-CA), one of the stars from the 2001 original.

Other notable appearances: Vice President Joe Biden forced to repeatedly rule on the nonsensical objections that were completely out of order with the House Speaker sitting stone faced trying desperately to avoid laughing at the nonsensical and repeated objections (which continued long after the tally had went well beyond 270 votes) and finally could no longer contain it and burst out laughing at them in the end, and a protestor screaming the preamble of the Constitution as he is dragged out of the chamber.

Sixteen years? They did this crap in 2004 too (noticing a pattern with congressional Democrats?), and that time, they actually got a U.S. Senator to sign on.

“Los Tres Mujeres Negras” It would be perfect if only Maxine had changed her last name to Lee.

California Democrats must share some contagious brain eating disease. Stupid runs deep there.

“Who’s the crazy Texas CongressCritter wench?”

Looks like there’s a typo. Barbara Lee is the (RAT-$hit, Berkeley, CA), While Sheila Jackson Lee is the (RAT-$hit, TX). But sadly, the third moron Maxine Waters is from SoCal, so California has to “own” two of the three! Plus she looks like she’s been beaten with an ugly stick for fifty years or more!

For some reason I don’t remember that at all... So this is actually the Third Act for that group.

I’ll have to find an archive video of it sometime from 2004.

I was very surprised they did not have a Senator sign on - like Elizabeth Warren.

Thanks. I was thinking that there might be even more than I was, unfortunately, familiar about.

The “Tellers” had an interesting historical role in this.
They are:
Representative Gregg Harper (R-Mississippi)
Representative Robert Brady (D-Pennsylvania)
Senator Roy Blunt (R-Missouri)
Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota)

I wonder how they were chosen???

Someone should tell Brady that it is the “Electoral College”, not the “Electorial College”.

And tell him that Hillary’s running mate was Tim, not Tom. /facepalm

Classic Stockholm Syndrome. A slave to the fake news Democratic imagery today and lusting for it to be there tomorrow.
