House Democrats are backing away from a last-ditch effort to muddy President-elect Donald Trump's win by raising objections when Congress meets to count the electoral votes Friday after failing to get a senator to go along.
Several House members have been considering raising objections to the official vote certification an act that wouldn't have halted Trump's win but could have forced debates in each chamber that would have kept the spotlight on the intelligence community's claims of Russian interference in the elections.

Of course they object to Trump winning. They wanted to win. They see their power dwindling away. It’s comical....they object to losing. LOL
did I hear that correct at the end?
Obama pardoned Elizabeth Keen? convicted killer?
Politics makes strange bedfellows
Shameful, a new low for Obama? Is Rod Blagovevich next?

Watching, very boring so far, Dorothy is Latina and lives in a trailer park or something. Some cop was shooting at her while she looks in on a sick old lady? I don’t know I was busy typing this and not paying attention, it looks like she took a cop car and ran down a tranny looking person. I suppose she’s in Oz now.
Toto is a German shepherd or something.
