The US Election, Part XI

[Elerond]

Elerond-with that info, would that mean that if Hillary becomes president, she would have to dissolve or do the same thing with the Clinton foundation and the other 5? organizations that are tied to it? With her already being caught getting campaign money that she wasn't supposed to, would that mean that then the electorals couldn't vote for neither Trump NOR Hillary then? Or would voting for Hillary also be doing the same violation as voting for Trump?

 

That is interesting question. Hillary resigned from her position on the foundation in 2015, but Bill and Chelsea still are board members in the foundation. Also I would like to know if foundation's non-profit corporation status factors in somehow. But as Bill was actually only able to found the foundation after his presidency ended I would guess that it could have caused problems for Hillary if she had won.

Lesser of three evils is the plan going forward then.

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.

Wonderful work Pidesco

 

Made me chuckle right there

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).

"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
