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.

I think Trump is going to lay down the hammer if anyone gets in the way of deportation.

I think their day of reckoning is coming.

Plus they mostly cause trouble in liberal cities and those cities deserve what they get.

You know they won’t do it, but one can always hope for an open season with no bag limit.

Did you ever think that your Deplorables speech made you lose the election, Hillary? Or your LOUSY program proposals (higher taxes, tens of thousands of muslims entering our country, open borders, war with Russia over Syria, etc.)? Phooey!

Soooo....

The GOP could challenge, let’s say, California’s electoral votes? Or New York’s?

Two can play this twisted game.

However, I see this as another Dim pipe dream, just as I believe Slow Joe Biden will accept the vote.

Besides, I’ve already bought my popcorn for the Inauguration and subsequent loony, lefty, BLMer, anarchist, OWS riots and beatdowns.

It’s worth it to get rid of all the faithless votes.

So, time for a change in strategy for Hillary’s thug team: instead of intimidation & death threats via email, letters, and direct physical threats of violence to Republican electors and/or their loved ones, her people can now threaten the lives of Republican congressional members.

One of the Black caucus will do it just like in 2000, and keep the DUmmies hope up. Or maybe one of the La Raza caucus. No Senator will back them up.

Actually, there is one more nuclear option! The house minority leader can request in writing to invalidate up to 40 elector votes in case a candidate is deemed unfit for office by 3 psychiatrists. This would not ever happen of course because they would never be able to find three psychiatrists that would declare him unfit.

Shoot! Wait A minute http://dailycaller.com/2016/12/19/psychiatry-professors-ask-obama-to-command-trump-to-submit-to-mental-examination/

LOL, I’m just making this all up but sadly they will keep trying stuff until he is finally sworn in. It’s almost comical now.
