Electoral College Must Be Postponed Until We Figure Out What’s Going On (soros/loserwoman barf!)
Huffington Post ^ | Updated 1 hour ago | Seth Abramson

Posted on 12/12/2016 10:24:57 AM PST by drewh

In a post-truth political sphere, it’s almost impossible to find consensus.

Trump won the Electoral College resoundingly; Clinton won the popular vote by millions. Trump’s November 8th coalition comprised as unusual and diverse an ideological coalition as the U.S. has seen; nearly half of Clinton voters thought Sanders should’ve been the Dem nominee.

But here are three things all Americans, no matter their politics, agree on:

1. Foreign governments should play no role in the outcome of American elections.

2. No person should ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.

3. We have absolutely no idea whether a foreign government played a role in the outcome of the recent general election, and therefore we have no idea whether a political candidate is about to ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.

I’ve been watching wall-to-wall coverage of the election for the past month, and I can’t recall hearing any Republican or Democratic operatives disagreeing with any of the above premises.

Here's a deal we should consider:

We agree to an investigation to prove that Donald Trump did not win due to foreign influence. This investigation will commence on the day that an investigation proving that Obama did not win due to foreign influence concludes with irrefutable proof that such a thing did not happen.

The decision as to whether or not the fact is proven shall rest with Congress. In the interim, the election shall proceed as it would in the absence of any such proof; which by the way is the present situation. That is, there is no proof.

‘Do these @sshats realize they are courting a civil war?”

That’s okay, all the red areas on that map provide these assholes with their food and energy. Not to mention own most of the legal firearms.
I say if they try this they will start something to male BLM look like a picnic.

They think we won’t do it, but this will be it. They don’t know who or what they’re @(*#$ with if they do that.

UGH!!!!!!!!

I wish y’all wouldn’t post effing pics like that in a serious news thread, some of us are not in places where that can pop up on our computers. I know it’s not porn but still considered racy. I’m allowed to look on safe websites on a break at work but images like that are not acceptable.

We have absolutely no idea whether a foreign government played a role in the outcome of the recent general election, and therefore we have no idea whether a political candidate is about to ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.

This is the latest line of "thinking" for liberal Democrats. "We don't know, so we should do what I want."

Jill Stein tried this line of nonsense in her recounts. Without a shred of evidence she suggested that since we don't know if the voting machines were hacked we can't trust the results.

Now we have, "maybe some foreigners tried to influence our election, so we can't trust the results."

The next argument will be "maybe alien space ships have landed somewhere and we don't know it, we should hold off the inauguration until we are sure.."

The only “hostile power” that tried to influence the election was the #fakenews media with their #fakepolls and their 24/7 campaigning for Clinton.

That is why they are now pushing the #fakenews and the #fakerussians at everyone within hearing range. They thought that they could throw the election to Clinton the way they threw it to 0bama, and they FAILED. Now, they are trying to come up with an excuse as to why they failed. They failed because they believed their own lies, and by 2016 people were on to them, and their dirty tricks, and could easily get other news sources.

REPEAT IT!

I think we should laugh at them, call them sore losers. This is the angle Trump and his people should take. Make them look stupid and desperate. He should literally LAUGH in their face and say “you’re all desperate because you lost, and it’s a sad thing to watch”
McCain and the other R traitors better keep their ()*)( mouths shut about this and get on page with the “you’re all just sore losers” meme that needs to start ASAP.

Please try and snatch the presidency from him. You'll think Armageddon just hit.

Dang straight. Loaded and locked and ready to rock. We should have exterminated the communists in the 60s.

1. Foreign governments should play no role in the outcome of American elections.
unless they do it by contributing millions to a Clinton Foundation, or paying fabulous “honoraria” for speeches by Bill Clinton, in direct violation of . . .
Article 1 Section 9:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state

translation:

there is serious movement to deconstruct the last eight years and erase the left wing lurch.

The left is paniced and do not know how to “play well with others”. The left is based on tyranny and tyranny can’t work in a freedom based environment.

So point three is unprovable. There is no way to disprove the premises that a foreign government influenced the election of Trump. Just lack you cannot disprove Russian hacking of voting machines. I also cannot disprove Bigfoot exist or in other words I cannot prove tha Big Foot does not exist.

It cannot be proved that Russia did not help Trump. Or Hiliary or Ruby, or...

If the Russians were guilty there is only one Constitutional way to remove Trump. Trump would have to take office then be impeached.

“We have absolutely no idea whether a foreign government played a role in the outcome of the recent general election, and therefore we have no idea whether a political candidate is about to ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.”

therefore we should completely ignore the U.S. Constitution and institute a coup that leaves obama as President indefinitely, you know, until “we figure out what’s going on”.

Hey, makes sense to me!

Here's a county map of the USA showing who won each county. Trump something over 2600 counties
and Hillary a few under 500 counties. Clinton won the overall nationwide popular vote with
something over 2.6 million votes. Of that 2.6 million vote win approximately 1.3 million votes came
out of one county, Los Angeles County.

Los Angeles County

Hillary ..1,893,770
Trump ..... 620,285

Pardon me, but this is the absolute dumbest statement I have ever heard!

A foreign government DID play a role in the outcome of a general election.

Iran. Completely torpedoed Jimmy Carter in 1980.

It happens all the time.

Are you agreeing with the Huffington article that even though they have no idea whether a foreign government played a role in the outcome of the recent general election that the Electoral College vote should be postponed?

Foreign governments should play no role in the outcome of American elections.

And, by clear and logical extension, neither should foreign citizens (aka illegal aliens).
