#1 The only thing the Democrats excel at is complaining about every fucking thing under the sun. Useless bastards.

#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.

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

#4 Gorb: I think that possibility was why they were so covert until they were ready to do it. Give the other side as little time as possible to react.

#6 They will not give up power. Be prepared, very prepared for a civil war.

#7 Is the Opposition Plan B to paralyze the incoming Trump administration, and its Republican Congressional majorities, for as much of the first year as possible? Any legislation passed in the mid-term years being much easier to sabotage...

#8 Rescind Trump's promise not to prosecute Hillary.

#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.

#12 This is another example of the Republicans' callous disregard for the voting rights of deceased individuals.

#13 But Darth, you will hesitate before shooting a women and an acquaintance --- judging by the extensive documentation of actions of people just like her from Russia to Kampuchea, she will not.

#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.

#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.

#18 Grom, while I haven't faced that scenario, I seriously doubt I would hesitate. If we have gotten to that stage, I have made peace with my decision and the only thing left is to make the grass grow.

#19 Forget I've said it Darth. We can all agree on hoping it won't come to that.

#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!

#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.

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

#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.
