Wait! Wait! It's not over!! The COTUS can still reject the Electoral Votes
U.S. House of Representatvies ^ | 12-19-16

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.

LOL! That song brought back so many good memories of when my kids were little! They LOVED Lambchop! Thank you for a flash to a time when everything seemed so much simpler and everyone seemed so much kinder and happier...probably not accurate but it sure felt like that!

If the Congress did not object to the ineligible Kenyanesian Usurper, they have nothing to object to Trump.

Just saw this as a serious post on DU. Good God I’m starting to actually feel sorry for them. Wait, no I’m not.

Well since the vast majority come from states that it’s very hard to get guns in, your desire for massive bloodshed and suffering will probably not happen.

Sorry.

I'm just tryin to give the Liberal lurkers more hope.

You just had to go there, didn't you? I don't think there's any question now, that they'll try this tactic, and gum up the works one more time.

Thanks, Joe.

I think the leftscum realize they’d lose a shooting war here, which is what would happen if they tried this BS.

LOL - I was ready to come gunning for you. Congress doesn’t worry me, they have seats to protect and anyone causing problems now will get primaried out.

There is ample opportunity for the libs to continue to make asses of themselves.

Crazy uncle joe biden need to preside over the senate's acceptance of the house's acceptance of the electoral college results. If that doesn't work...

Soros can always finance more rent-a-mobs. They just have to find a new outrage as their cause.

By my math the dem’s would need to invalidate 78 Trump votes. That’s more than 1/4 of all of them. Not a chance in Hades.

Obama will issue an 'executive order' and seal it with a wave of his royal scepter.

*spit*

I know it's not going to happen, but if he thought he could get away with it...

or maybe more like the scene in Animal House where Belushi says “Who’s with me?” and charges off all by himself...

From comments on the DUmp today, even the hardcore idiot liberals are getting a little worn down.
