Recount?

[water505]

Reports say the Green Party is highly pissed and has purged Aunt Peg's name from their website.

She's now the drunk Aunt at the Christmas party...

$12 million bucks now....tax payers foot the bill

As I understand it, the money was raised privately. In America, people are free to piss away their money if they want.

That's true. But in one week Stein has raised twice as much money as she did for her entire 2016 campaign. By backing the recount effort Clinton has once again proven herself a liar by saying "we must accept the election results."

Where did all that money come from? It looks like the slime by Clinton association has claimed another victim.

Assuming, for the sake of your lame argument, Clinton instigated the recount, it's not at all uncommon for recounts to be part of the election results.

Of course, you're also taking her statement out of context (as usual). It was in response to the strong implication from Trump during the debate that he wouldn't accept the results under any circumstances.

Here's what trump said before the election, but after his amazing statements during the debate.
“America is a constitutional republic with a system of laws. These laws are triggered in the case of fraud or in the event of a recount where it is needed. Of course, I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result. Right?”

You are absolutely right. But it's still an obscene amount of money to piss away on a hopeless, and self-serving, cause during the holiday season when that same money could go to help folks out that could actually benefit from it.

Why all this anger over a few recounts? We heard for months that the election was "rigged." Wouldn't everyone want to be completely sure that that was not in fact the case?

Tai Hau Le!


I say, more power to the Democrats. The Greens have already tossed Dr. Jill overboard...



Let's have as many recounts as America and Soros (and the Russians and Allah only knows who else) want to fund. Let's even change the outcome of the election!

Buddha only knows what sort of sweeping mandate that that would give Mrs. Clinton...

Most election workers are part-time seasonal employees who will benefit from a few extra hours before the holidays. How do you not know that?

Perhaps he thinks people should just be given handouts rather than actually working for the money?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Keep the recounts alive!



No one ever demanded that any Democrat accept the results of the election.



It was only Trump and it was from both parties.

He's accepted the outcome...

You fucking moron, the only people benefiting from this fiasco are the attorneys.

..and it will be the same ones that tipped the 2004 Washington Rossi-Grigoire Govenors race and then carpethagged their way over to the Coleman-Franken recount where they manipulated the hell out of that recount, which gave the Dems the 60th seat in the Senate.

It's like their very own Rumpelstiltskin scheme...not much different than a class action suit. I was once awarded $5.00 for a defective consumer product.

The Michigan recount initiated by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is on hold.

Attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump filed an objection Thursday with the Michigan Bureau of Elections, a move that under Michigan law halts the recount until the complaint is resolved.

The objection in Michigan comes one day after the Wisconsin Republican Party filed a Federal Election Commission complaint arguing that Stein is pushing a recount there to benefit former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Full story: Trump camp moves to block Michigan recount

"All available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake," the complaint argues.

Millions of illegal voters cost me the popular vote!!!

 

[Conager]

Democrats aren't asking for recounts in California.

 

[Magnetron]

Democrats aren't asking for recounts in California.

Tell me, why does the great and powerful Orange One who insists there is massive voter fraud in "the general election" except when it comes to recounts choose to block the recount in Michigan and not Wisconsin? Why not block Wisconsin and not Michigan? Why not block both?

That was mean, not even Faneros deserves to be called that stupid.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I am asking for the recounts to go on.

I am also urging the Democrats to stick with Pelosi and go with Ellison.

Whatever prevents them from recovering from this train wreck is Jake with me.



But blaming Trump? This is what Democrats do on any and everything they fuck up. Obamacare? Republican intransigence.

Doesn't matter that no single Republican had a hand in crafting the flawed piece of shit, it's their fault for not "fixing" it, even though Democrats would fight any Republican fix tooth, nail and claw.



So count on Democrats, we the true Independents (unlike the "Independent" here who voted for Obama twice and Clinton this time) are counting on you!
