Congress officially declares Donald Trump president
The Telegraph ^ | 06 January 2017 | George Fuller

Posted on 01/07/2017 2:57:58 AM PST by Candor7

Congress certified Donald Trump's presidential victory over the objections of a handful of House Democrats.

All 538 electors met in their respective state capitals in December to cast their votes. The vote count made it official. Vice-president Joe Biden presided over the count in his role as president of the Senate.

Trump finished with 304 electoral votes and Democrat Hillary Clinton got 227. There were seven protest votes for other candidates. It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency.

It’s about time. Fun to watch Slo Joe do his slapdowns of other libtards.

Love it!

The left goes down kicking and screaming, not broadcast on the MSM TV networks.

Well worth the watch:

THE LEFT OFFICIALLY BITES THE DUST!

I just loved the part where Biden had to tell them to sit down and shut up. Classic.

“I just loved the part where Biden had to tell them to sit down and shut up. Classic.”

Though his act of “maturity” is directed towards a possibly 2020 POTUS run. Democrats don’t mind old guys and many likely believe he would have beaten Trump.

Now that it is official, the inauguration should be done as if it were a civil wedding ceremony...not a big outdoor party. Think security. I don't want some nut job with a Barrett M107 taking a shot at the swearing in platform from a mile away.

We just had an ex-military guy go ballistic at an airport after he lost his marbles. Why give anyone the opportunity?

Maybe now the leftist idiots will believe “It’s Over” and that they lost. Trump is driving the bus.

Dear Cando,

re; “Congressional procedure is so like that.The Founders knew what they were doing.”

It is NOT ‘Congressional procedure’, it is U.S.C. Title Code.

Since the Electoral College is a Constitutional Article, the ‘procedures’ are called out in the U.S.C. title Code, as LAW.

Therefore, each of the “objections” raised, were in violation of Code, when NOT having been signed by BOTH a sitting Representative AND a sitting Senator, and were ILLEGAL by U.S. Law. They were criminal actions.

NO one could have beaten Trump, and no one will in 2020. And had Trump not entered and won the Republican primary, no one would have beaten Hillary either.

the objections were racially motivated by professional negresses

The entire American black population was disrespected by the professional blacks in the congress.

Loser demonstrators and DEMS shined the light on their anti-Constitutional mindset during the time-honored changing of the guard. How disgraceful!

They were not criminal actions but they were out of order.

Would someone, please, explain why the left keeps whining about Trump not being legitimate. I’m simply not getting it. What’s not legitimate?

Sorry, but I just can't get enough of this photo. It is iconic of the wrecked Hillary campaign and it gives me great joy every time I see it.
