Clinton Recount Plan Draws Sore Loser Jibe From Team Trump
2016-11-27
Expect discovery of boxes and boxes of disenfranchised inner city votes.
[BLOOMBERG] Trump focused on Stein, not Clinton, in a response. "The people have spoken and the election is over, and as Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
 herself said on election night, in addition to her conceding by congratulating me, ’We must accept this result and then look to the future,"’ he said in a statement.

Kellyanne Conway, who was Trump’s campaign manager and is now a senior adviser, was less conciliatory. "What a pack of sore losers," she said in a statement. "After asking Mr. Trump and his team a million times on the trail, ’Will HE accept the election results?’ it turns out Team Hillary and their new BFF Jill Stein can’t accept reality."
So y'see, it ain't the Dems sore loserin', it's just an interested third party who thinks she mighta been the one to take the swing states..
"Rather than adhere to the tradition of graciously conceding and wishing the winner well, they’ve opted to waste millions of dollars and dismiss the democratic process. The people have spoken. Time to listen up. #YesYourPresident," Conway said.

Plot to move Hillary Clinton into White House - RECOUNT in key US state won by Trump

[EXPRESS.CO.UK] The shock move to reassess results in Wisconsin follows the filing of a petition to the state’s elections organiser by two groups, one of which backed US Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein. Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Michael Haas said: "The Commission is preparing to move forward with a statewide recount of votes for President of the United States, as requested by these candidates."

7 Reasons Jill Stein's Recount Is A Scam

[DailyWire] Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein is raising money to call for a recount in three states: Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. She said that it was necessary due to "reported hacks into voter and party databases and individual email accounts are causing many Americans to wonder if our election results are reliable." A Wisconsin recount request was filed on Friday.

However, it appears that Stein's efforts to obtain a recount are nothing more than a scam. Here are seven reasons why.

1. There is no evidence that the election results weren't reliable. As the Daily Wire has explained, there is nothing to suggest that the electronic voting machines were hacked. Donald Trump's advantage over Hillary Clinton in electronic voting was a result of demographics, not a hack, and Michigan's ballots were all paper. The entire premise for Stein's recount is false.

#25  I find it interesting that Jill Stein who has no possible way to win is working on Hillary's behalf in this. Bought off like Sanders, and apparently like most lefties once the price is determined.

#24  The Clintons are very, very dangerous people. Do not underestimate how far they will go for power. They must be put in prison.

#23  Is this a distraction to make us not wonder what has happened to Julian Assange?

#22  @#14: The Clintons have everything to lose and are therefore only happy to see Dr. Rocks press this "case."

I surmise that Mr. Trump is not amused and, once the foolishness passes, will begin to dismantle the Arkansas Mafia one lie at a time.

In the meantime, my questions are:
1. How have the voting machines/records been archived since the election was called?
2. Who, if anyone, has had access to said machines/records since election day? Are all visits verifiable?
3. Is Sandy Burger still hanging around?

Also, see "Donald Trump's incoming chief of staff suggests Hillary Clinton is backing away from a deal worked out between the two presidential campaigns on how the loser would concede to the winner.

Reince Priebus tells "Fox News Sunday" that Clinton's team "cut a deal" with Trump's team specifying that once The Associated Press called the race in favor of one candidate, the other would call within 15 minutes to concede.

Priebus says that's just what happened election night.

But now he's questioning whether Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias is backing down from that deal by announcing Clinton will participate in a recount in Wisconsin and may do the same in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The push is being led by the Green Party's Jill Stein.

AP's director of media relations, Lauren Easton, says AP "calls races when it is clear that one candidate has prevailed over the other. We have no knowledge of what the candidates do with that information until there is a public claim of victory or a concession."

Don't "back out" of a deal with "The Donald" unless mutually agreed. The blowback will be ferocious.

#21  The Electoral College meets to vote on 19 December 2016. If the votes from MI, WI and PA are still under recount, Trump will have less than the requisite 270 to be declared the winner and the election will move, as ordained by the Constitution to the House for President and Senate for Vice President. Trump/Pense will win but the Dems will get a chance to claim a totally political act by the Republicans, usurping the will of the people and hamdstringing the administration from the start. It is a vile, deceitful, political sabotage act by people who only know the quest for power and would destroy the nation to achieve it!

#15  Trump should have a wolfpack of attorneys ready to go. I would think that PA, especially, would be pretty damn hard to reverse, given Trump's 70,000 vote edge there. But when the Dem's are prepared to lie, and their MFM shills are willing to swear to it, who knows? My personal opinion is that this is probably just more lefty psyops and fundraising than a realistic attempt to change the results. And if you needed any more evidence that HRC is mentally unbalanced and unfit for office, here it is.

#14  Easy to dismiss as a hail Mary, but keep in mind that Democrats are very, very good at litigating election results. They have a plan here, and the Clintons have nothing to lose.

#9  I was talking to a friend and she mentioned that "her" side would have an opportunity to rise up and overturn this.
I said, "Just remember which side has the guns and the vets and the training."
She snobbishly replied, "We have angry women. Don't underestimate what an angry woman can do."
"Well, if you can continue to move and be angry after I put 3 rounds through your chest you are a better person than I."
She stopped and looked aghast. "That is SO mean!"
"Don't you understand? That is what a Civil War is. If it comes between protecting the constitutional process while protecting my rights and taking friends and family's lives, I'll defend the constitution to the end.
If you aren't willing to look down a rifle sight at people you care about and pull the trigger, you have no fucking business talking about a civil war."

After talking to several lefties just like her, they seem to be convinced if they just have a march, chant slogans and cry then people will just roll over and let them do it. And people have, for decades. I don't think they realize that we are backed into a corner and will do anything to protect what few rights we have left.

That naivete may very well be the thing that stumbles us into civil war.

#3  How about recounting the squeaker Hillary states, including verifying that the voters are real.

#2  As easy as it is to dismiss this crap a farce, it is a serious attack on our Constitutional form of government. Gives more uninformed people an excuse to get out to their $15.00/hr job of protesting.

If these fires cannot be efficiently put out, it will result in a serious inability of Mr. Trump to govern appropriately.

This is not good, but that is the plan.
