SHE is crazy? Or the lack sense in government? This should never have gotten this far. As absurd as The Trial.

“The elections board was split along party lines.”

http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/elections/michigan-board-to-hear-trumps-challenge-to-recount-effort_

Michigan law already requires that the person demanding a recount show some reason to believe they would win. But when has the law stopped Democrats from grabbing power?

“Aside from the fact that Stein has stated publicly that she has no evidence of wrongdoing in the vote-counting process, she has not been “aggrieved” as a matter of law because she has no possible chance of winning Michigan’s electoral votes in a recount. Because she does not meet this statutory prerequisite, this Court should order the State Defendants to reject it.

Michigan law allows a candidate who has been “aggrieved on account of fraud or mistake in the canvass of votes” to seek a recount. MCL 168.879(1)(b) ...In the circumstances here, Stein could not possibly have been “aggrieved” by any heretofore unidentified fraud or mistake...Accordingly, Stein has suffered no loss or injury from any supposed irregularities in the canvass of votes; she has not been “aggrieved” as MCL 168.879(1)(b) requires.”

But of course, those things only apply when Republicans want something.

Exactly, those who think the rats want this delayed have missed the point entirely. These electors are in the bag and that won’t change.

You are full of crap. Trump has done nothing wrong with this idiocy. Nor will he lose the votes of Ws or Mi. The latter has already been certified.

Any substitution of post recount electors will be rejected by the House. Read the constitution esp. the 12th Amendment.

I'm well aware of what's happening, but your post above made it sound as though you think the enemy has already pulled off their attempted coup.

It's THAT which caused my response, as it couldn't be any further from the truth of the situation on the ground.

“When they are doing recounts and the recounts always seem to go to one party, that should be a red flag.”

You are correct but miss the point. THIS is not an ordinary election which is an end in itself. This is an election of electors which has a deadline to meet imposed by the constitution. They cannot screw around forever.

In addition, if there were two sets of electors “certified” it would be up to the House to decide which was accepted. C1 or C2? I can tell you now it would be C1 and have NO doubt about it.

If the Democrats never impeached George W. Bush


Chief Injustice John Roberts. No need.
If 2016 had been closer, I’d expect a 5-3 for Hilliary, with Roberts writing for the majority.

My wife thinks I’m crazy for thinking Clinton killed Vince Foster.

She wasn’t in Washington, D.C. the day Vince Foster was murdered. She rushed to Little Rock, Arkansas, immediately after Bill Clinton fired FBI director William Sessions on 19 July 1993, securing the files belonging to Vince Foster that she somehow, psychically knew might be of interest should Vince Foster be murdered the next day. So, at most, you could say that she ordered the assassination of Vince Foster.

Bolsheviks don’t care about hypocrisy. Only the end game

They will say whatever they want, shamelessly.

Yes, max americana.

You must remember to report REAL citizen-reported news in your own words, not #FakeNews from the blowhard liars who had Hillary winning the presidency until 9pm on Tuesday, November 8th. 😀

Actually, let's just hold that ANY Democrat elected to ANY public office is illegitimate.

Period.
