Gotta like the way they act like it's still in doubt.

Throughout my life, and even during Bush/Gore, the meeting of the Electoral College and the casting of their votes was an afterthought. A slam dunk. A pro forma exercise that gave a few people a few minutes in the sun of officialdom.

News coverage was of the oh-by-the-way-the-sun-rose-in-the-East, smart aleck variety: ‘XYZ is officially president elect....’

It goes without saying that the left thinks they can, should, and never will lose but their last-gasp behavior has been truly appalling as they, including the Obamas, foul the nest on their way out. These EC high jinks will probably have the opposite of the intended effect ie the states that lack laws binding electors to the vote total will pass them.

It also proves that there is no public office or assembly, from the local school board on up, that the left will not try to corrupt. Hillary lost, thank God, but the Clintons’ real legacy is the automatic attempt to subvert the law by ignoring it and daring someone to stop them. This mentality has seeped into every federal agency and many state and local offices.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

It also goes without saying that hypocrisy continues to be their watchword. They are STILL banging on about the national popular vote - a metric that has no value, no effect, and no reward. But the popular vote within each state IS important and meaningful yet they conveniently forget this.

Author, Ed Klein just on Fox News stating that Obama is forming a ‘Shawdow Government’, in Washington DC to subvert the Trump Presidency.

Charlie Spiering 25 May 2016

After President Obama leaves the White House, his family has plans to move to a $5 million mansion in Washington D.C.

According to Politico’s Mike Allen, Obama will lease the mansion from former Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart and Giovanna Gray.

The home was sold in 2014 for $5,295,000 and has 9 beds and 8.5 bathrooms, according to the McFadden group. It has 8,200 square feet and was built in 1928.

“Trump wins or faithless electors have started a new civil war.”

That’s a fact.

Learning new stuff is always fun and important. I spend hours wiki surfing (yes...I know the dangers)...mostly about European history (I love the 11th-17th centuries) of kings, kingdoms, dukes and earls....wars and such. I also like reading about ancient,,China. Fascinating stuff. Each one of those guys could have a docudrama made about them. Lol

Leaning something new is always a plus, even for an old fart such as

Good for you.

Here is a book that talks about that...and many other things still relevant today over 2,000 years from when it was first written:

Key takeaways:

1. start when you are young

2. moderation in all things

3. grow your own grapes and veggies

4. enjoy the your company

5. experience and learn new things.

The polls clearly showed nillary won..until she lost.
This is no different ..whatever perception that nillary has even a speck of am chance is crapola.
But it will serve to get The radical nut bars worked up. And in their pea brains it will justify destroying more cities and killing more people.

“Here’s what to expect in a nutshell: screaming, gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair on the part of democrats, who willl complain that it was all so unfair and Valdimir Putin elected Trump.”........

There is going to be a lot of wet diapers, Kleenex and safe rooms needed as well. The thumb sucker snowflakes will be crying in the streets when Trump kicks odumbo off the throne and tells him to get his damn feet off our desk.

I love how Trump is ‘tenderizing Ryan with a meat hammer’ in public....over and over and over.....especially in Wisconsin....when Ryan is on stage with Trump.....

I am not worried so much about the libs.

I am worried about the McConnell crowd....slithering snakes hiding under rocks, like they have been all along.

I think that this is where the real peril lies.

I think that we should re-name Trumps Twitter account and call it ‘The Flashlight’

If SorozNazi and his islamonazi co-conspirators even imagine the American people will accept their forcing or bribing the EC to foist another illegal “president” after they shoved Hussein down our throats for eight years of Destruction Derby against USA , they have another thing coming. It won’t happen. Then the traitors and saboutours need to be arrested tried and sent to Gitmo for life without parole, or just executed.
