Objections

Since 1887, 3 U.S.C. 15 sets the method for objections to electoral votes. During the Joint Session, Members of Congress may object to individual electoral votes or to state returns as a whole. An objection must be declared in writing and signed by at least one Representative and one Senator. In the case of an objection, the Joint Session recesses and each chamber considers the objection separately in a session which cannot last more than two hours with each Member speaking for no more than five minutes.

After each house votes on whether or not to accept the objection, the Joint Session reconvenes and both chambers disclose their decisions. If they agree to the objection, the votes in question are not counted. If either chamber does not agree with the objection, the votes are counted.

[[Do you think the democrats want even more egg on their faces?]]

It seems to be a sick obsession of theirs to continually have egg on their faces- they must think it looks cool or something- someone should inform them otherwise

Much like the end of “Carrie,” where Cissy Spacek’s hand comes out of the grave to grab Amy Irving.

I'm thinking of that final scene in The Sentinel, where Father Halliran makes his way to Alison through the demons (democrats) who are doing everything they can to stop him. In the end, he makes his way to her, and they just slither back into their hole.

This is the last hurdle. This is the one that I have no confidence in.
Our Congress is not on our side. I trust them no more than I would trust a hungry bear. They have been bought by Globalist foreign $$$ and do the bidding of their owners. They are globalist pay to players! I have zero faith in them, and wouldnt put it past them to substitute someone like
Romney in office.

“I think losing three times constitutes a ‘schlonging’. What comes after schlonging? Buggery?”

THAT explains it! They LIKE that kind of thing....

I'm still thinking their final trick will happen on the morning of Inauguration Day. Supposedly there is a rule stating that if the duly elected President Elect does not appear on the Capitol steps at precisely noon on the appointed day, then they must swear in somebody else - preferably the runner-up in the electoral vote - because the term of the current president will have expired as of that moment and so we have no choice but to swear in a new president at that precise moment.

So I'm thinking that early in the morning on the 20th, some devious Democrats, no doubt employed by George Soros, will change around all the road signs on Trump's motorcade route, causing him to get lost and therefore preventing him from being at the Capitol at the appointed hour.

It will also be worked out that a pant-suited Hillary Clinton with John Lennon style sunglasses will conveniently be seated nearby the Capitol podium so that while Donald Trump is lost somewhere in the woods of Maryland, slamming the back seat of his limo with his fists in frustration as his driver tries to find the right way, Hillary will rise like a phoenix in her lime-green pantsuit and ascend the podium to get herself rightfully sworn in as our next president.

Pajama boys all across our nation are having wet dreams of this scenario playing out. We better be on guard. We can get ahead of this scheme and outsmart them by making sure that Trump's limo has a GPS mapping device.
