Soap box, ballot box,...
Never underestimate the depths of the criminal mind. There are EVIL people in the republic/world.
HOORAY LS
HOORAY Mr. Donald J. Trump. Thank you, sir. America’s finest.

Check out Article.
Thanks, WildHighlander57.
Did you notice the smiles on the people seated behind him in Cinncinnati ? Went CHRISTMAS shopping yesterday (got to buy a new water heater for myself) the same smiles were on clerks and fellow customers. It IS contagious 😀
Ok, so I want a personalized, autographed version with a wonderful handwritten message. :)
That’s nothing, I want a personalized, autographed Kindle copy!
Pure crap. I want the original manuscript with a flowerly, flattering personalized message on every page.
I guess they can arrange an e-signature page.
We have one signed book in this household, looking forward to another :)
Well, gee, I think I have about 20 titles on Amazon. Let me help you . . . .
In the Civil War, the Southern states were subtracted from the calculation of an electoral vote majority because those states had been formally declared to be in rebellion. Today, no such subtractions would be made from the electoral vote majority required for the election of a President.
Since the Constitution does not set a number, it’s common sense (and I’m sure legal precedent) that you vote with what brung ya, or the majority that shows up. There can be, and has been, no precedent for a “quorum.” Hence, the Civil War example remains the example.
Donald Trump is handling all this perfectly. He's not allowing it to be a distraction and he's proceeding full speed ahead in assembling his administration. Even many people who did not vote for him have accepted him as our President-Elect. Only us political junkies are paying much attention to these recounts at all. The average guy on the street couldn't care less and knows they won't go anywhere.
Good news on your book being published. Definitely put me down for a copy. Let me know by Freepmail when it is available for purchase.
Between Carrier, taking the calls from foreign leaders, moving ahead with cabinet appointees, he just blows this stuff off, establishing in the minds of the people he is already president.
It’s pretty amazing. Were anything remarkably destructive-—as you mention, the Hail-Hail Mary Pass-—to occur, the built-in presumption he is president would result in a civil war.
It’s also having a pretty remarkable affect (do you agree with this?) of pushing Obama aside even before he’s done. I get the sense that Obama is a non-entity now in DC, despite his power to still do damage. It’s almost as thought he’s bewildered.
Looking forward to the book.
I can't really back it up but I'm thinking that Obama is secretly pleased that Hillary Clinton lost. Had she won, she and her people would have taken complete control of the Democrat Party and Obama would have been shunted aside rather quickly. In this scenario, Obama can at least hope for Trump's failure, which he believes will redeem his own legacy. Kind of like how those "Miss Me Yet" GWB memes were popping up once it became established that Obama was in over his head. back in 2009. His ego would be salvaged if people out there started missing him and pining for his return.
It's amazing how many people still think Trump is going to fall flat on his face. He continues to be underestimated. It's clear to me that Trump knows exactly what he's doing and he's putting a team in place that will truly make our heads spin during those first 100 days.
"Begone. You have no power here."
When all the marbles are at stake, common sense and historical precedent are weak considerations easily brushed aside on the way to a preferred result. For clever lawyers and an accommodating Supreme Court, the Twelfth Amendment could provide a counter example and plausible authority for a two thirds quorum and a majority vote of the states to chose a President.
hahah! wish I could! you graciously provided a signed copy of your Patriot book to my son (who was active duty USAF at the time). So I definitely owe you at least one legit purchase!
