Donald Trump is a first-rate ass clown, but...

They were certain that they not only had the election wrapped up, they had the country wrapped up. After all, they have the entertainment industry, every sector of it. They have the so-called "main stream media"-- print and television news. They rule education, from kindergarten all the way through post-graduate. Huge areas of business are totally leftist: Silicon Valley, giants like Facebook, Google, and Amazon. And all these puppets were working around the clock to elect Hillary Clinton.

She could NOT lose. This was the informed consensus. She was a shoo-in.

It's not just her loss that stuns them, it's the loss of their grip on America.

And that is why they don't want the U.S. to control the Internet. The free exchange of information on the web impedes the success of their media-based propaganda.

Washington electors vote for Powell, Faith Spotted Eagle

Per Fox News' Robert Shaffer

Hillary Clinton has only received 8 of the 12 electoral votes in Washington State. The unfaithful electors voted for former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell, while one voted for Faith Spotted Eagle -- a native American activist.

This makes the current tally:

256 Trump

143 Clinton

3 Powell

1 Faith Spotted Eagle

Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman said she will work with the state attorney general and charge four unfaithful electors with a violation of Washington state civil law. The fine is up to $1000.

The law was passed in 1977 in the first session after a GOP elector voted for Ronald Reagan and not President Gerald Ford.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm with you LBJ. Since the election, every day's been a holiday and every meal's been a feast. My wife's been mad at me since the 10th because I'm 'acting like a child'. We had her family's Christmas party Saturday and she threatened me with mayhem if I got in an argument; I said 'don't start none, won't be none'. they are libs, they can't help themselves so I'll be sleeping in the shed for a bit.

I periodiacally fall into what is apparently unreasonable joy and laugh right out loud, I don't mean LOL I mean right-the-fuck-out-loud.

So I'll be watching the electors today, I'll be watching the newspukes later tonight and I'll look forward to the progs continuing examination of what went wrong as long as they want to keep me entertained.

So, if some of our SF co-conspirators roll their eyes and tell me to get a life, I've got a life, pretty good one actually; but I am enjoying this immensely, yugeley in fact. Maybe even Bigley! I'll fret over the WA AG's effort to ban ARs in my spare time. Right now it's a party.

Faith Spotted Eagle, eh? Seriously, do some of these people think this is a joke? I hope they are fined the full amount.

I'm sure up till this election (and in "modern times"), becoming an elector was just a novelty. Well, I hope after this, those selected in the future are given more consideration. Namely that they're not certifiable.

Posted the following on my FaceBook page for some of my idiots friends who don't understand the "whats and whys" of throwing the vote into the House.

Lots more drama today with the Electoral College doing its thing. Lots of folks out protesting, and hoping that Electors will change their vote and prevent the necessary 270 votes for Trump, and to throw the Election into the House of Representatives. It would seem some folks missed or were asleep in Civics class when the 12th Amendment was discussed.

Below, is the verbiage of the 12th. [I've deleted the excess, but left in the important part so I wouldn't clog the Forum any more than it is.] Please note the clause that I have offset from the paragraph, as that is the guts of the process.

***"But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice."***

So in case you didn't understand the above, each State has ONE VOTE. Each State's Congressional delegation caucuses to determine how their ONE VOTE will be cast.

Examples: California has 53 Representatives (39 Democrats & 13 Republican); Virginia has 11 Representatives (3 Democrats & 8 Republicans); Wyoming has 1 Representative (1 Republican). California casts it's ONE VOTE as Democrat; Wyoming casts it's ONE VOTE as Republican; Virginia casts it's ONE VOTE as Republican. OOPS, Virginia went Democrat in the popular vote, but it has now FLIPPED to Republican. The future make up of the political party majorities of the various States' delegations in the House of Representatives is 20 Democrat and 30 Republican (that's a 40/60 percentage split, with Republicans holding the majority).

Bottom line after all of these shenanigans is that the Republican candidate (Trump) still wins the Election and becomes President. And the Country is further divided.

Had enough yet?

Well, all I can say is that liberals tend not to do so great with Math.

Speaking to reporters after casting his electoral vote for his wife, Clinton praised her hard work throughout the campaign.

"I never cast a vote I was prouder of," he said.

"You know, I watched her work for two years. I watched her battle through that bogus email deal. ... She fought through that. She fought through everything, and she prevailed against it all but then at the end we had the Russians and the FBI deal - she couldn't prevail against that."

********************

wow, to think she beat that "bogus" TS/SCI SAP (+ 2000 Confidentials) email crap, and then that lousy FBI deal did her in. What a trooper.

"I never had sex with that woman." honest.

The Clintons should get the lying BS award for 2015 and 2016.

Someone needs to tell Bill that that stuff just isn't going to work anymore. Those weak lies just won't work anymore, Bill. It's a new world, man. The Truth is available to common people now, old man.

I've suffered through the clinton and obama years. I'm done with them all.

They need to be sent to a failed public servants' pasture.

I wish them no harm but they just need to go away and never be heard from again. They're losers and I truly believe obama's one goal was to degrade and diminish this great Country.

He failed.

Let's move on. I look forward to the Trump years with great anticipation!
