If the electoral dudes somehow flip their votes there will be a civil war. As far as I'm concerned they're pushing "electric voting machines hacked - the work of RUSSIAN HACKERS", but Michigan uses paper ballots, what excuse could they find there?

"Oh it turns out we just found millions of paper votes cast to Hillary Clinton - all bundled up in an empty warehouse!"

These two things aren't really related. The electors, who, again, only exist to empower SLAVEOWNERS, can vote for whomever they like in most states, but are party affiliated and thus probably won't. Also, the states weren't pulled one way or another by millions of votes, but by thousands. The results ARE within the statistical probability of fuckups tilting the results. 

Also Clinton got nearly two million more votes (with still some places not finished counting the absentee ballots). Call this crap what you want, but it isn't democracy, because if it was, NEITHER would count as winners, because the closest thing we have to a vote of no contest in America is abstaining, and abstaining beat them both by a fucking mile:

Hahaha, Jill is laughing all the way to the bank!

It looks like she's basically getting funding together for her next campaign! Her site has supposed volunteer names for the state recounts in each county listed, many names are obviously just trolls such as "Sit on my face" "Mickey Mouse" "Vladimir Putin" "Hillary for Prison"

Anyhow, Hillary's lawyers have apparently endorsed recounts in the 3 states Stein proposed. However, in order to somehow become president she has to pretty much win all the states, which is possible but very very unlikely if you look at the figures. Michigan has already done another recount and Trump's lead narrowed from 13,107 to 10,704 votes ahead, but he still carries the state. In pennsylvania he is currently ahead by 70,000 votes, in Wisconsin it's 22,000 votes. Unless all those votes are somehow invalidated, she still can't win...

If Jill Stein were the type to rip people off, she'd be a Democrat. The states have already confirmed she's paid the filing fees for recounts.

[-HP-]

So far, Trump has picked:

1. For Attorney General someone (Jeff Sessions) who’s against the Voting Rights Act,

2. For Secretary of Education someone (Betsy DeVos) who’s against public schools,

3. For Secretary of Health and Human Services, someone (Tom Price) who’s against public health insurance,

And is considering

4. For Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, someone (Ben Carson) who’s against the Fair Housing Act,

5. For Secretary of State, someone (Rudi Giuliani) who’s among the most undiplomatic people in America.

You know what, it sucks for you guys but I've done a 180 and I'm really glad he won. He's been very entertaining and not a day went by without him acting stupid or outrageous. It's been good fun so far, but if he keeps this up and no one puts a leash on him, you guys are fucked.

 

[Vorontsov]

I'll have to wait and see how the 4 years go first before judging his questionable decisions

[D3ads]

He's appointed General 'Mad Dog' Mattis as defence secretary, at this point he is officially best POTUS ever...

Our president-elect just praised Manila's death squads as good for cleaning up drugs, seriously risked fucking up US China relations with his loose words on Taiwan, bragged about saving jobs by bribing a company hundreds of millions of dollars to save 800 jobs as they outsource 1400 more, listens to whatever the latest fucking whackjob asshole who thinks the government shouldn't exist tells him, and he fucking scotch tapes his tie together instead of using a clip. 

How does this look like anything but an apocalypse to you?

Also, you know, the ice caps are still melting and the earth is rapidly heating as we continue to "drill baby, drill" our way into having the entire West Coast past the Colorado River become uninhabitable and the entire Gulf Coast become a giant swamp, and most of the rest of the country returning to being a dustbowl like it was a century ago.

Oh come on.. Tsai congratulated him on winning the election, he congratulated her back.. not much to it. China continues to build articificial militarised islands in the South China sea claiming it's all theirs, the US sails through telling China "international waters" and China moans and complains but that's about it. I expect no less here, if they were going to be really hardline with the US over the situation they wouldn't tolerate any arms sales to Taiwan...

Meanwhile.. the DNC are still in Lala Land...

Trump won because /White supremacy.. /Comey.. /Russia.. /Misogyny... /Everyoneandeverythingelsebutus

Palmieri and co are so absolutely fucking clueless, it hurts...

8 New Reasons The Electoral College Shouldn’t Vote For Trump

Quote

We as Americans can use the very procedures built into our constitutional system to avoid the inauguration of a man who has proven since election day that is he unfit to be president of the United States.

It's never going to happen, but still, a very scary summary of all that he has done so far.

Trump is bad, but also that quote is literally the exact opposite of the truth. The Electoral College (brainchild of newly minted liberal icon Alexander Hamilton, who also made the first Bank of the United States to fund Native genocides) was designed to let slaveowners vote extra on behalf of the people they owned as property, at 3/5ths of a vote per slave.

Im no longer sure if Talking Heads' song is about a Psycho Killer or about Trump. Its scary!

 

Lyrics:

Spoiler

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est ( What is this )
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run run run run run run run away oh oh
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, away oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run run run run run run run away oh oh oh
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, away oh oh oh oh!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la  ( What I did, that evening )
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la  ( What she said, that evening )
Realisant mon espoir        ( Fulfilling my hope )
Je me lance, vers la gloire, OK  ( Headlong I go towards the glory... OK )
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run run run run run run run away oh oh oh
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, away oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah oh!
