I have two concerns with regard to “fake news”

1. Google News page, which mirrors AOL/MSNBC/et al. Look at the selection of purveyors of information.

Google chooses to present, and for you to click on to. All are main stream media, liberal, agenda focused. imo, essentially functions as propaganda for the left.

2. Other media, the “fake news”, Newsmax, is an easy example, but reflects most agency that reflect similar traits as Newsmax, are just as propagandists as main stream.

My concern then is simple, who to trust. Since the 4th estate has squandered all moral authority, beginning in 2008 with separation identity politics, and both main stream parties ruled by global elitist, with a self perpetuating agenda. The question then becomes not this election, but when armed resistants begins

Is "Common sense" finally kicking in?

Quote:
DETROIT – A federal judge who ordered Michigan to begin its recount effectively ended it on Wednesday, tying his decision to a state court ruling that found Green Party candidate Jill Stein had no legal standing to request another look at ballots.

Quote:
Stein now is left with asking the Michigan Supreme Court to intervene, which is a long shot.
December 13 is approaching quickly. Pennsylvania court hearing comes this Friday

Ah, there it is. They courts should have made that point a week ago... if Clinton wants a recount, let her file for one. But Jill has no chance of getting elected either way, and thus is wasting a bunch of people's time and money.

'bout $53,000 per extra vote

That's what crybaby Jill Stein (proxy for the Klinton/Soros Crime Cartel) paid for her 66 votes gained, with the WI recount effort complete. That's the important part, right? Oh, wait....

Quote:
Wisconsin's historic presidential recount ended Monday and resulted in a net gain of 131 votes for President-elect Donald Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

The recount resulted in a net change of 1,769 additional votes being counted, or 0.06 percent of the 2.975 million total ballot. The last statewide recount in a 2011 Supreme Court race added an extra 1,233 votes out of 1.5 million ballots.

Trump gained 837 votes from the recount and Clinton gained 706 votes. Trump won the state by 22,308 votes.

"Completing this recount was a challenge, but the real winners are the voters," WEC chairman Mark Thomsen said in a statement. "Based on the recount, they can have confidence that Wisconsin's election results accurately reflect the will of the people, regardless of whether they are counted by hand or by machine."
Full link here. and it must've killed them to run this, because this paper (which comes in 9 & 12-packs, including Mega-size, same aisle as Klennex) is the local Pravda for all things purple in Madison & Dane County including trousers seen at Starbucks and the High Church of Akademia. In short, the print version of MSNBC.

Oh my tear ducts... Noch mal Angriff der Schadenfreude - and with PA telling the Stein campaign to pound sand...

In honor of the latest conspiracy I've put out my little set of nesting Santas, Russian, from, you know, Russia.

Because *gasp* Democrats would NEVER think of using a foreign government to intervene in a Presidential election, would they Teddy Kennedy?

Hopefully this ends this chapter......of course, the "hack" thread is still being clung to.....then the rogue elector obstacle approaches....and finally the innauguration security (no you can't burn your diapers on the National Mall January 20th)

. The recount effort by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein in three U.S. states came to an end on Monday, after weeks of legal wrangling yielded only one electoral review in Wisconsin that favored Republican winner Donald Trump.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania rejected Stein's request for a recount and an examination of that state's voting machines for evidence of hacking in the Nov. 8 election won by Trump

The Russian meme goes at least back to August, and it was dismissed at the time.

It continues to be a real shit show.

The left is attempting to delegitimize Trump before he sets foot in office...death by a thousand cuts.

Unfit...
Russians...
Putin Pal...
Recount...
Popular vote...
Etc., etc...nonetheless...

The Republican's are in the catbird's seat with all three branches, Supreme Court appointment(s), and a strong presence at the state level. Energy independence is within grasp and low tax rates and significantly higher employment is a real possibility. Immigration and security concerns will undoubtably be addressed. Obama's legacy, divisive politics and financial as well as foreign policy debacles could truly be exposed for the failures that they were. The Clinton's have finally been put to rest (until Chelsea).

Trump has an opportunity that truly makes the left tremble...let's see what he does...

nice cartoon... but the left isn't done yet
they still have six days until the electoral college votes, they still have six days worth of fake news to release; they still have a billion dollars in campaign funding that they can use to bribe and threaten; they still have an incredibly popular POTUS to help control the narrative



...and we aren't talking about normal, decent people here - we ARE talking about the cliNt0ns

And they still hold the belief that the people will stand idly by and allow them to hijack the legitimate presidential election that did not go their way.

Watching the electoral votes come across

As of 15:55 Eastern: Trump at 258; Forest Wanderer at 143...

Seems the "unfaithful electors" are primarily rogue liberals going sanders or "Faith Spotted Eagle".

Funny-that.

Washington electors vote for Powell, Faith Spotted Eagle

Per Fox News' Robert Shaffer

Hillary Clinton has only received 8 of the 12 electoral votes in Washington State. The unfaithful electors voted for former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell, while one voted for Faith Spotted Eagle -- a native American activist.

This makes the current tally:

256 Trump

143 Clinton

3 Powell

1 Faith Spotted Eagle

So how long before a recount of the electoral college vote is demanded, how do we know this vote was not hacked and manipulated by outsiders blah blah blah blah blah.....
