EXACTLY.

Reports are that Clinton ended up having more faithless electoral voters than Trump. :lol2:

Yup, I just read that 7 electors changed their vote from Clinton to another.

That was part of Keith Olbermann's recent movement: you'll never get enough Trump guys to flip to Hillary, but if all the Hillary electors agreed to switch to a moderate Republican, maybe they could get enough Trump guys to flip to Romney or McCain or whoever the R's wanted. Looks like the message only got through to a few.

I'm going to miss a president who can speak in coherent, complete, and eloquent sentences. I'm going to miss a president who doesn't jack off on twitter, with 'rediculous' statements. I'm going to dislike having a president who sounds like nothing more than the blowhard at the local country club. God have mercy on our souls, yup.

The Few, The Proud, The FAITHLESS.

... Clinton lost four electors in Washington state — three voted for former Secretary of State Colin Powell and one voted for Native American tribal leader Faith Spotted Eagle. She also lost an elector in Hawaii to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. ...

... Several Democratic electors in other states tried to vote for protest candidates but they either changed their votes to Clinton or were replaced. ...

Bedtime story for Infi
 
Once upon a time ...

The Marines and Special Forces were on a war games joint training exercise. A Marine battalion was told that their "enemy" was on the other side of a hill from them. Marine reconnaissance spotted a man standing on top of the hill. He was wearing a Green Beret, Rolex watch, star sapphire ring, and carrying a Randall knife. The battalion commander ordered that a platoon of Marines be sent to get him. As they charged up the hill the Green Beret disappeared down the other side. The Marines pursued up and over the hill until they too were out of sight.

The rest of the battalion's Marines then heard blood curdling screams and cries for reinforcements ... followed by total silence. Then a man appeared, standing on the top of the hill, wearing a Green Beret, Rolex watch, star sapphire ring and carrying a Randall knife that looked like it hadn't even left its sheath. He also wore a big grin.

The battalion commander ordered a company of Marines to go after the man. They charged up and over the hill as the man disappeared down the other side. Once again there were blood curdling screams, cries for reinforcements, and then total silence except that this time a lone Marine came crawling back down the hill ... as a man appeared, standing on top of the hill, wearing a green beret, Rolex watch, star sapphire ring, Randall knife, a big grin and motioning to the Marines, with his hand and arm, for more to come to him.

The lone returning Marine, unable to walk, was crawling back to his battalion when the remainder of the Marines found him at the base of the hill as they were coming to his rescue. He valiantly struggled to raise himself to his feet, came to the position of attention, and saluted his commanding officer saying "Sir, go back, save yourselves, it was a trick ... there's TWO of them!

And the Green Beret said, "You're not in this for the fighting, are you?"

Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of psychological abuse in which a victim is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception, and sanity. Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

classicman 12-21-2016 05:04 PM

Well that was a great big FAIL.

Clinton lost more electoral votes than Trump. She made history again. Abandoned by the most electors ever!

Flint 12-21-2016 05:32 PM

Should have been Bernie.
