Recount Process Part 5 - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The States should charge Stein with the full costs of having these recounts, as she has no chance of winning she should get her supporters to pay the costs.   The poor tax payers in these States could be out of pocket by millions.   The Green Party and the left want these recounts for some reason, their detailed answers do not match reality, there is no proof that the Russians hacked the election systems, even the Obama Oval has stated that fact, thus WHY.   The LEFT are very BAD LOSERS, that is not the point, in this case the blog supports the recount, HRC would make a great President, but the tax payer should not get his/her wallet out, there are very rich individuals on the left, let them, use their wealth for democracy.

Recount Process - Part 4 - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

IF this blog understands the small print of the US election law, the result has to be ready by December 12th, as then we have the electoral college meet to vote for the President.  If there are any problems with the actual result the process moves to the House.   The Republicans control the House, thus one would think would give the Oval Office to Trump.   THUS one has to asked why is Stein doing this, she can not win, in that sense she is not even a player, the chances of HRC taking the Oval are even more remote, thus again WHY.   One can only suspect that it is a branding scam, trying to get the Stein and the Green Party more PR.   It is the poor tax payer that has to pay the costs.

Mattis for US Defence Secretary - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

This choice has gone down well with Capital Hill, Mattis is seen as a Marine's Marine, someone who fights with his men, it said that he only likes to be called Mad Dog by those that he fought with, also it is reported that he is a very well read Marine, he likes to read a lot before taking going to WAR.   The General as noted in the article had a fraught relationship with the Obama Administration after his critical view of the Iran deal, Tehran should be worried, the good old days of Obama will be over soon, a new Year a new President.

Recount Process Part 3 - Trump vs. Stein - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

IF recall 2000 election you are starting to see the re-forming of the patterns that lead to that contested election, thus do not be taken aback when this case goes ALL the way up to the US Supreme Court, of course the COURT is tied, thus the last Court decision will stand, depends if the Judge is a Republican or Democratic appointment.   If all else fails the process moves to the House, as the Republicans control the House they will give the Presidency to Trump.   If your a political geek you will love this process, it could take weeks, well in to the New Year. Nothing is EVER over in US politics.

Just 1 more Vote for Clinton - Wisconsin Recount Process


Lets Get Real:

The Democrats and the left has to keep supporting the recounts efforts in the three rust belt States, you never know, and there is chance it MIGHT change the result.  There about 13 days to go before the electoral college meets, A chance of a Clinton victory looks slim, but you have to try, the thought of Trump in power after January 20th 2017 should cause even the most quiet person to be worried, so count States, and let us cross our fingers in hope.

The Recount Process - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The Trump Camp must be concerned about he recounts or why challenge them, let us hope there are votes enough to overturn the results in November, it might be a good idea for the Clinton Camp to set up a Shadow transition team just in case.   The fact that the process is in the Courts is not a great shock, the lawyers will have a field day and the costs will go through the roof.    The US needs to reform it voting system, it should go back to paper ballots that can be checked, in some States its pure on machines with no paper trail, how does that help democracy.
