The end of the 2016 presidential election is at hand. A joint session of Congress is set to count the Electoral College votes on Friday, a traditional ending to a most unconventional presidential election.

Barring something bizarre happening, Republican Donald Trump will be declared the winner and will be sworn in at his inauguration on Jan. 20. All 538 electors met in their respective state capitals in December to cast their votes. Trump finished with 304 votes and Democrat Hillary Clinton with 227, according to a tally by The Associated Press. It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency

What bizarre happening? There’s nothing beside one thing that will stop Trump from being sworn it, and everyone know what that mean when they said bizarre happening

Note the Congressional betrayers of the United States who vote against declaring Donald Trump the electoral college winner. They are the ones who give aid and comfort to the enemy.

“Maybe I am just twisted but those pictures of the crying hillibots make me laugh every time.”

Nah. You’re not twisted. I get pleasure out of watching miserable leftists, too.

Someone in some other thread called it “election porn.”

“Barring something bizarre happening,”

The current lefty lunacy is a ‘report’ done by some lefty professors, claiming at least 50 electors are invalid for reasons that I can’t find in the constitution.

Anyway, some Rat might be foolish enough to challenge a state’s electors based on this.

Watching the media meltdown is entertaining. Charlie Rose on CBS this morning nearly had a breakdown when yelling at Kelly Anne this morning.

Makes no difference. Both the House and Senate would have to agree on a successful challenge, and it happens within two hours, IIRC.

"Charley Rose on CBS this morning nearly had a breakdown when yelling at Kelly Anne this morning".

Likewise on CNN this AM where a rabid Chris Cuomo was courting an aneurism screaming, overtalking and verbally assaulting Kelly Anne for about 15 minutes.

It was really something to watch. Kelly Anne retained her composure during the entire vicious frontal assault.

She was great, it must really get them when she graciously thanks them for having her on the show (after they are so noticeably rude to her).

Some piece of shit from Massachusetts just objected to the first state’s report - is told by Biden to pound sand.
