    I didn't like Trump in the 80s. Didn't like him in summer 2015. Don't much like him now. *Love* the message but in a perfect world would've picked a different messenger. [though at least this fucker doesn't act like everyone running a business is a criminal or some kind of 'enemy' of the state.]

    But you libs, man, you really gotta dance to work yourselves into this kind of circular frenzy - first, imagine The Donald and his voters in the worst possible light imaginable and exaggerate that view to a point of near obsession, then go on to hope that fewer than half of voters, only 50-something percent of those eligible to vote, really voted based on those worst case imaginings.

    Therapy extra? Heck, at least colleges now have new stress counselors to handle all the manufactured stresses that impose on 19 year olds (in addition to the hormones and stuff).

    Well so far in Wisconsin Hillary has picked up ONE ELECTORAL VOTE - google it, something about an Indian reservation counting votes or some shit. Regardless GO HILLARY!
    Get that postponed fireworks display out of moth balls - even if it's downsized to Chelsea juggling sparklers. :facepalm:

    Hillary's not the one asking for a re-count. She conceded. :shrug:

    So why did she ask for volunteers for a recount on her own website?

    If there's going to be a recount, she wants people there to observe to protect her own interest. She'd be stupid not to.

    Jill Stein asked for (and is paying for) the recount. :shrug:

    Oh, she didn't officially ask for the recount, she just wants volunteers to hang out on their iPhones while standing over the process.

    Give the fuck out of here with your horseshit.

    She didn't ask for it officially or unofficially. Jill Stein did. Jill Stein is also paying for it.

    She conceded and doesn't want a recount. Yet she wants to make sure a recount is observed for... reasons.

    Makes sense. Totally innocent.

    Hey, Shoes, I got a bridge that's for sale if you want. Cheap.

    All I'm saying is that she didn't ask for the recount. Jill Stein did. Clinton's lawyer says they're just involved to look after her interests. Why wouldn't they be?

    I don't know why you're getting so worked up about it. It's not going to change the fact that Trump won. :shrug:

    I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. Seems reasonable enough to me though. Especially since it's not going to change anything.

    As much as I hate Trump, I hope it doesn't change anything. If it does change the outcome of the election, I fully expect people to riot. Were the shoe on the other foot, I'd expect them to riot as well. Much better that the results reveal flaws which need to be corrected, but don't change the outcome of the election, than to have something which causes the US to break out into civil war, regardless of who becomes President on January 20th.

    Double rent, because she's in my heart too! :wub: Seriously though she can shit hundred dollar bills and funnel it to Stein (no doubt others are too) but she still won't change the election, but whatever keeps he busy I guess.

    And? I don't know who that is, nor why I should watch that video. As a matter of fact, unless you can prove that the video shows nekkid boobies, I'm probably not going to watch it at all.

    Because there is no reason for it. Trumps win in those states were big enough that no automatic recount was needed and no irregularities with the process have been substantiated.

    The fact that nothing can possibly come from it is what makes it a big deal?
