Tomorrow Biden has to count the electoral votes in front of a joint session of Congress. Hillary will lose, AGAIN!

Look for House rats to raise objections just like they did in 2000 AND 2004, but unless a Senator joins them they will not be voted on and will cause only minor delay. The same people who tried to game the electors are pushing for challenges.

George Washington was called “Your Excellency” before his Presidency as were (and some at least super-formally still sometimes are) some original state Governors. Foreign diplomatic correspondence also sometimes styles the President “His Excellency”.

John Adams wanted the President styled “His highness, the President of the United States of America, and Protector of the Rights of the Same.”, the reason being he wanted the President’s stature on even footing with foreign monarchs, half of Congress laughed at him at the rest were outraged.

Highness is too monarchical, but “Your Excellency” strikes me as appropriate, so long as a worthy man is in office.

I’ve been referring to him as:

“Donald the First, Galactic Emperor and Protector of Western Civilization”

For a while now.

“Hillary will lose, AGAIN!”

I’ve almost lost count of the number of times she’s lost, but I’ll give it a go:

1. Lost nomination to Barrack.

2. Lost election to Donald Trump.

3. Lost recounts in MI, WI, PA.

4. Lost the electors’ vote on 12/19/2016.

5. Will lose in Congress tomorrow on 1/6/2017.

Awesome! Hillary has officially lost at least five times!
