Welcome back!
Amending what I said. Trump could prevail and be elected.
https://theconversation.com/how-congress-could-decide-the-2020-election-146054
Snip...
The founders proved prescient: The elections of 1800 and 1824 did not produce winners in the Electoral College and were decided by the House. Thomas Jefferson was chosen in 1800 and John Quincy Adams in 1824.
...Snip...
A tie in the Electoral College remains a possibility, however remote. There are 538 electors, so a minimum majority to win is 270. The website 270toWin lists 64 hypothetical scenarios in which both Joe Biden and Donald Trump could get 269 electors. That would throw the election to the House.
Though the House has a Democratic majority, such an outcome would almost certainly benefit Trump.
Here’s why: In a concession to small states concerned their voices would be marginalized if the House was called upon to choose the president, the founders gave only one vote to each state. House delegations from each state meet to decide how to cast their single vote.
That voting procedure gives equal representation to California – population 40 million – and Wyoming, population 600,000.
Currently, this arrangement favors the Republicans. The GOP dominates the delegations from 26 states – exactly the number required to reach a majority under the rules of House presidential selection. But it’s not the current House that would decide a contested 2020 election. It is the newly elected House that would choose the president. So the outcome depends on congressional races.
One more caveat: Split decisions are considered abstentions, so states that cannot reach an agreement would be counted out.”
I doubt that will happen...the congressional vote goes by state delegations and the Republicans have 27 of them though it might be 30 now. So it is not be congressional majority it is by state house majority.
Welcome back! :)
I totally agree.
Likely that timing because the markets will be closed. Futures close an hour later as well until Sunday.
I’ve placed some money off to the side expecting when it all goes down there will be some market turmoil and I’ll jump in knowing long term things will improve.
I’m so stoked for this weekend.

Trump campaign drops Arizona ballot challenge case, says Biden has too many votes to catch up
“In November 1811 President James Madison appointed Story, at the age of only 32 and without judicial experience, to the Supreme Court. The President did so despite the opposition of Jefferson, who believed Story had contributed to the failure of the foreign trade embargo enacted during Jefferson’s presidency. Although Madison thought Story would contest the Federalist Party nationalism of Chief Justice Marshall, the new justice soon joined Marshall in construing the Constitution broadly in favour of expanding federal power. His opinion for the court in Martin v. Hunter’s Lessee (1816) established the appellate authority of the Supreme Court over the highest state courts in all civil cases involving the federal Constitution, statutes, and treaties. This decision was called by Charles Warren, historian of the Supreme Court, “the keystone of the whole arch of Federal judicial power.””
++++!
Heartwarming to see all of the tremendous support out there, especially the organic Rallies that are springing up all over the Country, including a big one on Saturday in D.C. I may even try to stop by and say hello. This Election was Rigged, from Dominion all the way up & down!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 13, 2020
” Now there’s a man who desperately needs the humility that comes with being incarcerated, penniless and powerless.”
Especially after Windows ME.
(Sorry, I had to inject some humor :-) ... that vile vagrant needs to answer for his crimes when attempting to hijack network protocols in the mid to late 1990s ... the Clinton machine went after him, but that was more than likely a shakedown and a job offer)
The Founders Outsmarted the Presidential Election Fraudsters......is the title.
Just saw it this morning......Kaslin posted it.
“One thing in the article that jumped out at me...
“Haystax will retain its base in McLean, Virginia.
McLean VA is the home of Clowns, Inc and The Clown College.”
Yes, it is. And Durham is also the home of the Research Triangle. All sorts of interesting companies have bases there, including Cisco and IBM.
Geraldo spouting anti-Trump comparing him to a boxer throwing his last swings. He’s angry about the past treatments, but will deal with whatever happens.
(spit.)
“this call was a wellness call between 2 friends”.
re covid -frustrated over timing of vaccine news after election - great frustration.
thinks Trump would run again in 2024 (hahahaha!!!)
Operation Warp Speed is the Coof vaccine.
HAHAHAHA!!
“Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said in a Tweet, “Chris Krebs has done a great job protecting our elections. He is one of the few people in this administration respected by everyone on both sides of the aisle. There is no possible justification to remove him from office. None.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) also praised Krebs in a Tweet.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I say, “TICK-TOCK”......
****
Need a real source, for one thing; for another thing, the whole fraud shebang is going to be made public. Tons of illegals vote in AZ and the person in charge of election stuff in AZ is a notorious Trump hater. So whatever they do in AZ will just be more cheating.
