Electoral College makes it official: Trump wins presidency
Associated Press ^ | Jan 6, 2017 2:09 PM EST | Stephen Ohlemacher

Congress certified Donald Trump’s presidential victory Friday over the objections of a handful of House Democrats, with Vice President Joe Biden pronouncing, “It is over.”

House Democrats objected to the votes from at least 10 states, raising issues of voter suppression as well as American intelligence showing that Russia tried to sway the election in favor of Trump. In each case, their objections were denied because they didn’t have the support of any senators. […]

As the votes were announced for state after state, Democratic members of the House stood up to object. But in each case, no Democratic senator would join them, and Biden cut them off.

“There can be no debate,” Biden said repeatedly. …

Wasn’t there supposed to be a 3 minute dead zone between administrations on this electoral count day, when the Dems were supposed to be able to stage a bloodless coup and stop the Trump train forever?

I watched on C-SPAN. Biden was quite good and seemed perturbed by the faux objections. At one point he told a Congress critter to give it up. “It’s over” he said. Paul Ryan was cracking up sitting behind him.

It’s officially official and certified. Trump Schlonged Hillary 304 to 227

It's a poor man who lives on his former glory
With only pride to back up an empty story
So when the time has come for us to go
Let's throw away pride and admit we know

When the fall comes, oh please let it be slow
Don't let us come down, come down before we even know
Sliding so fast, we can't even stop
We still have a chance if we go down slow

(Oh!)Lighting man, when you bring the lights down
Can you take them down real easy
Lighting man, can you hear me up there
Please bring those lights down easy

--Godiego, Lighting Man

I like Trump’s arsenal a lot better than whatever Ryan has in his.

Democrats, please prepare yourselves for the “BIG D*CK OF HISTORY” to slap you in the face. The middle class is pissed and we’re coming for your shit. “All your bases are belong to us!”

Embrace the suck commies.

The House Democrats are a bunch of crybabies. Fortunately, the Senate Democrats wanted nothing to do with their stupidity. Biden was getting progressively more pissed through the vote count.

I’m kind of surprised that the senator from Massachusetts, Chief Slinging Bull, didn’t raise an objection from the Senate side. As long as they weren’t successful, it would have been good for some laughs to let the clown show proceed.
