The US Election, Part XI

[Pidesco]

When **** hits the fan just remember, 42% didn't even show up to vote.

 

When **** hits the fan just remember, all 50 states did have a second choice.

 

When **** hits the fan just remember, you picked the dumpster fire that burned brightest.

 

When **** hits the fan just remember, your vote probably didn't matter anyway.

 

When **** hits the fan just remember, Berlusconi 2.0 is your president elect.

 

When **** hits the fan just remember, it never stopped hitting the fan and you never noticed.

[ShadySands]

I bit surprised to hear that if offered the VP spot Sanders said he probably would have accepted

 

Less surprised to hear that he thought Clinton should have picked Warren and not Kaine

[HoonDing]

"Berlusconi 2.0 is your president elect."

 

kind of insulting to Berlusconi tbh

 

Berlusconi had political experience before being elected prime minister, plus is an actual confirmed billionaire.

Winning with grace.  

[Meshugger]

You gotta love that guy.

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

I wonder if he'll still get in twitter fights when he's officially in office?

[Pidesco]

He'll bring new meaning to the expression "twitter war"

[HoonDing]

Only with Rosie O'Donnell.

[Guard Dog]

Don't blame me. I voted for Johnson.

[Pidesco]

Only with Rosie O'Donnell.

 

Just watch. Trudeau will say Rosie O'Donnell is a friend of his, and Trump will go nuts and try to annex Canada.

Count on it.

You have to hand it to him, he's the first troller in chief we've ever had. I seriously doubt he cares about the validity of these statements, he just does this as a tactic and to mess with the media.

He seem to want to be Putin lite (lite because I don't see that he will ever carry similar respect). 

[Volourn]

"Winning with grace."

 

Like the Dems/Hill shills are losing with grace?

 

btw, he's right. Who knows what the exact number is but no doubt there was a ridiculous amount of illegal immigrants voting in this election. With all this whining about how Hillary won the 'popular vote' and all these accusations of Trump cheating to win he has every right to point out that it is the Demos who cheat.

 

Also, HILARIOUS how people went crazy when Trump even HINTED at the mere possibility him not 100% acdepting the result if he lost.. and, everyone was saying he was delusional and that there was NO WAY NO HOW that thes e votes could be rigged... yet now all of assudden after Turmp won those same punks are saying he and Russia rigged them. HAHAHA.

Can you imagine the vitriol if Trump were challenging the results in three states which all three needed to be overturned and the combined total was 90-100k votes? I know everyone here is possessed of personal integrity and would have called for a recount in such a case (well, a slight dig, but I do hope that's a true statement nonetheless). Yeah, Trump's a tool, but people in these parts are bat**** crazy and some of them have visceral hatred for the guy. Geez, get a grip.

 

However, I do have to admit that Romney's speech about Trump during the primary was pretty funny and a lot of it was spot on. Trump *did* condone torture and talk about targeting the families of terrorists, which I think most Americans, including probably the majority of his voters, would balk at doing. I just think most of supporters, even the die hard ones, didn't take all these comments seriously. Someone cited that as the dichotomy of this election where his supporters always assume he's being figurative and the press always assumes he's being literal. I just think he's a bit unhinged, but I still voted for him. I'd like the Clintons to be out of politics, at least the two older ones. Chelsea... we'll have to wait and see about her. Any nerd rage coming my way will only serve to nourish my soul. Anyhow, Romney's philippic against Trump.

Yeha.

 

And, also, as for 'proof' of illegal immigrants voting.   How about the fact that President of the United States ENCOURAGED them to vote illegally so Obama knew FULL WELL illegals vote.

 

Seriously, I know as a Kanadian that if a few million Amerikans came to my country and voted ILLEGALLY I would not be  a happy camper.Does that make me an anti Amerikan bigot?

Guys its seems fatuous to keep objecting to the recount  now, I was watching an interview with Sanders and he said this is perfectly legal and the Republicans may ask for one in NC?

 

Lets get this recount over and done so we can move on to addressing other issues. I cant see even if Hilary wins these states how does this even change her standing in electoral colleges. She has already won the popular vote but Trump will still win the overall election

[HoonDing]

Libruls bus in illegal muslims to vote and after voting they dance in the streets.

Its these types of comments from you I find redeem your more offensive ones ...you do make me laugh at times " illegal Muslims " 

[imaenoon]

Naw, Bruce, the only good thing I can say is that Stein is paying for the recount and bilking clueless libs to do it. I think it's simply bad for the country to have a recount under these circumstances. It perpetuates the idea that the election is not legitimate without any credible evidence, something Stein herself admits while still insisting it's to make sure votes count. I would be against this if Trump lost. In fact, while Trump could have said, "As long as the returns are validated and legitimate, I will accept them," he instead talked non-sense about suspense and whatnot. So now we've come full circle.

 

I won't give a direct quote, but I told a group of people on July 29th of this year that I would respond to Clinton winning the election by referring to her as "my president," praying for her continued good health, and affording her all the respect due her office. We salute the president, not the person in our country just like we salute the officer and not the man (or woman if you are one). So, since I'm accepting everyone else at his or her word, I can assure you, I would definitely be against this recount under these conditions either way. ...And I've absolutely no doubt that Trump's going to prevail in a recount, so it's not that I think Hilary's gonna win.

 

However, fair enough. When Trump wins the recount, it will be an opportunity for folks who claim it will lend legitimacy to pay up on their bet. ...Or will there be some reason for yet another recount? Perhaps not in three states that could swing the vote their way, but only in the districts where they think they can overturn the election? Maybe Broward county?

Ah Bruce..it's about reputation and ego. Hillary will do anything to undermine her enemies, She is a sociopath who demands to get her turn. This is all about dismantling Trump's cred. That's all this is. The actual vote count is not her goal. Let me be clear: her behavior now is PRECISELY why she was not elected.

[imaenoon]

I'll be honest, LetyS, I don't think Hillary really wanted to get in on this. This would have to be an awfully long con to overturn the election. Honest to goodness, Stein has to be taken seriously. She managed to get money for the Green party, cast doubt on Trump, and force Clinton's hand to take action that will with almost absolute certainty not help her or the Democrats in any way. I'm an idealist, but I have to admire clever work when I see it, and this is clever. I would rather see Clinton in the white house than Stein, but this is truly genius. She and her staff are truly to be commended. I say that with complete sincerity. I think it's devious, but there are some master strokes that you have to own when you see them, and this is it. If anything can actually put the Green party on the road to viability, this is it. It probably won't (understatement) but it's a start. Both the Republicans and the Democrats better take heed of this because it's apparent that Johnson didn't have the chops for the campaign (I still like the guy, but he really melted down in the last month), but Stein is going long and she just might make it.
