Was watching the despair of the Left right after the election entertaining? Well, December 19 will also be entertaining when the Electoral College makes the election of Donald Trump official. Oh, and it will also be a happy day for your humble correspondent when I am finally able to collect a few hundred bucks from my PredictIt wager on Trump. One of the reasons that the Electoral College vote is in the bag is that the Green Party has dropped the recount in Pennsylvania. I guess Jill Stein wanted to hold onto that cash sent to her so she can get a nice beach house next to Bernie. Meanwhile the DUmmies are in a state of very entertaining despair as you can see in their thread, Green Party Drops Statewide Pennsylvania Recount. So let us now watch the DUmmies despair over their loss of a Pennsylvania recount in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that after December 19 January 20 will also be another entertaining day for watching DUmmie despair, is is in the [brackets]:
Green Party Drops Statewide Pennsylvania Recount
[Hillary might have lost a state but Jill gained a beach house.]
The Green Party is dropping its court case seeking a recount of Pennsylvania’s Nov. 8 presidential election. It had wanted to explore whether voting machines and systems had been hacked and the election result manipulated.
The Green Party’s filing came Saturday, saying it couldn’t afford the $1 million bond the court had set. A Commonwealth Court hearing had been scheduled in the case for Monday, and the $1 million bond was due later that day.
[That money could be put to better use on Jill's beach house. And now to the DUmmies in despair...]
Well, that blows :( It's not a coincidence that actually counting votes in the United States is this hard.
[If it was easy, all the states would be in a state of recount on Dec. 19.]
Jill Stein has raised about 7 million so far. I think they could have afforded to pay the bond if they chose. What will she do with any left over money?
[Psst! Beach house. The preferred repository for bribed socialists.]
Stein raised way more than that didn't she? I thought Stein had raised enough $$$ to see this through? She has raised $7 million and Wisconsin & Michigan recounts will cost $5 million. I guess she and the Green Party will just pocket the left over money now
[Pocket is right.]
She has raised 7 million dollars. And her fundraising website still lists PA. She is asking for 9 million currently.
[That is to help fund the shrimp cocktail parties at her new beach house.]
We needed all three states to flip in order to overturn the election. If she drops Pennsylvania, that means it's over.
[Sherlock DUmmie finally gets a clue.]
Hmm, shits not adding up in my mind here. I haven't checked in a while But Jill had some serious coin stacked up for this.
[When you visit Jill's beach house, perhaps it will finally add up in your mind.]
The legal challenges may have added substantially to the estimated cost. That's my guess, anyway.
[Oh, and then there was that beach house expense.]
No doubt that the lawyers and logistics eats up the cash but still.. I'm gonna do a little digging as I was already curious where the money is actually going.
[Start digging at the lakefront next door to Bernie's beach house.]
required $1 million bond seems like exorbitant extortion to start a recount is that the normal amount for a recount bond? If not, I would fight the cost by way of civil rights/equality laws. But now Jill is not committed to following through or so it seems. Yes, it is hard to be a leader. However, just ask for more money, ask for legal help, put out the message and people will respond. Maybe she's tired and wants others to take over or at least help more.
[Jill Stein is just $10 away from adding another room to her beach house.]
Did someone from the Trump oorganization get to Jill with $$$$$$. I thought she had raised nearly 7 mill. and I know she didn't spend it all in Mich or Wisc. I say hell yes they did.... The money could have been raised by all those fU*KG SOBs joining the cabinet. A Couple mill here a nice condo there..hell yes that is the way it works.
[GASP! Are you actually suggesting that Jill Stein could be bribed?]
Wait, it say a million dollar "bond". The out of pocket cost to Jill is cents on the dollar
[Um...You seem to be confusing "bond" with the futures market.]
If there are funds remaining after the recount, funds will be returned to those who donated.
[Sorry, you will NEVER see your donated money again, sucker.]
People gave her millions. Why can't she afford it?
[Because not much left after beach house payment.]
What is she planning to do with the over 7 million she raised?
[Ask Bernie.]
Will her recount contributors be getting a refund?
[No sucker. Next question!]
PING!!!
“We needed all three states to flip in order to overturn the election. If she drops Pennsylvania, that means it’s over.”
“Overturn the election?” Sounds like they are admitting to corruption.
DU has been VERY entertaining lately!!!
Yeah, I haven’t been there in years (got tired of taking showers afterwards.) But the triggered snowflakes are music to my ears.
Even my liberal lunatic brother has given up on overturning the election. Over the past week, he moved on from ranting and raving about how Trump “stole” the election to ranting and raving about what Trump was going to do in his first 100 days in office. It may not sound like much, but its an important step for a liberal lunatic to accept the election and get on with the business of ranting and raving about the Trump presidency.
Wow. You're new here, aintcha, son?
DU’s other site, Discussionist .com is still down. Maybe DUers could not handle the conservative opinions on that site.
But, but the Palmer Report says...
That is the normal progression for grief ... however, for SJW's, there is an additional round of ANGER after acceptance.
Sounds like your brother is right on track ...
Man, I think I’m going to run national public office and deliberately lose! I can keep the leftover money and buy a nice house in the Appalachians, and enjoy my retirement free from scrutiny forever after.
Who wants to win? You live in a goldfish bowl from the time you win to the time you leave office. No thank you-I’ll just do like Bernie and Jill and run, taking subtle care to lose, and then retire to my nice new home, while,the winner gets to deal with constant scrutiny and criticism for the next four years.
Sounds like a great plan to me!
and safety pins. They can really help with the loss
They are so close to realizing that Soylent Green really is made of people. But they’ll never get it.
I, personally, haven’t had this much fun in 8 years. :)

There will be some kid on a bike chasing her down for $2 for the rest of her days...
This is an interesting find:
