Inauguration Day Is Still A Long Way Off

December 5, 2016

Many things have been happening in this “transition period” that point to one grim fact: Trump hasn’t sworn into office as president yet. As a matter of fact, things are happening that may very well derail that inauguration. There’s an old Irish expression: “There’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip,” and there’s quite a few slippery deeds in the works in particular that bear mentioning. January 20, 2017 is still a long way off, and Obama isn’t done just yet.

From an international perspective, something very heinous happened in the dead of night just a little more than a week ago. The House of Representatives passed a resolution, H.R. 5732, in a special session that included the suspension of normal rules. Suspensions are characteristically used for bills that are not controversial. H.R. 5732 is as controversial as they come: it holds the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2016, with Sec. 303 holding the provision for the establishment of a no-fly zone over Syria.

The H.R. was introduced by Eliot Engel of New York (how surprising), and not only does the no-fly zone apply to Syrian planes in their own airspace, but also raises the prospect of engagements between U.S. and Russian aircraft. Trump’s “reset” with Russia doesn’t occur until January 20, and there’s still a lot of time in between now and then.

Also, Jill Stein is challenging the election results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Isn’t it a coincidence that the three states are “swing” states that could (if reversed) help to affect a reversal of the whole thing? Isn’t it also a coincidence that Hillary Clinton is “for” ....

Just about to ditch all these pearl clutchers.

NO LIB got Trump up to the election. It appears 90% of the GOP now doesn’t get Trump after the election.

Is it, then, your position that there is no risk, that the demonrats can do nothing to overturn the election?

I don’t know the ins and outs of the swamp, so I can’t guess what means might be at their disposal.

"the Shadow Party"

That seems an apt description of the collection of leftist one-worlders who have infiltrated the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the media, academia, corporations, and the foundations.

There is nothing they can do to overturn the election.

You need to understand that in our “low information” society, TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT, HE’S BEEN THE PRESIDENT (yes, I know, he isn’t inaugurated yet), AND ANY TOMFOOLERY WILL BE VIEWED AS CRIMINAL.

Sometimes low information voters work for us.

I know the feeling, I'm seriously tempted just to take a break from Free Republic and the rest of conservative media until after Trump Inauguration Day.

We won.
It's over.
Trump will take the Oath of Office on January 20th.
End of Story.

But instead of celebrating all I have to see is 500 BS stories every day about how Hillary is mere seconds away from stealing the election. Even though not one credible new source says there is even a sliver of chance that could happen. Trump certainly isn't concerned. He's busy measuring the Oval Office drapes, and if he's not concerned, I sure as heck am not going to ruin my holiday season thinking about it.

“ANY TOMFOOLERY WILL BE VIEWED AS CRIMINAL.”

Viewed by us, yes, but Cankles and the demonrats are quite willing to commit crimes and cover them up, with the help of every drooling leftist moron in the country.

“There is nothing they can do to overturn the election.”

I’m going to make that my mantra for the time being.

Because I’m so sick of these “OMG, what if” threads, I asked TEAM TRUMP direct:

What is your confidence level you come away with these (recount) states?”

Answer: “1000%”

Same here. Stuff like this is just bad for the blood pressure. Look, the country as a whole recognizes Trump as the next President. World leaders and the world's people recognize Trump as the next President. Jill Stein or Hillary Clinton won't change this.
