I suspect this recount sham/distraction is almost over but what really worries me is this Electoral College vote on Dec 19.
There's talk that some electors, states in which he won, will not vote for Trump in defiance, sending the US into a Constitutional crisis.

Perhaps she'll get a 600,000 dollar house like Bernie did.

Oh Jill Stein, gotta love her and this recount stunt!
She started with a goal of 2.5 million and in a few days it's jumped to 7 million. And when you read the fine print she can't guarantee the money donated will go towards the recount. She's obviously stuck in the third stage of grief and loss.... BARGAINING.
It's quite an about-face considering towards the end of the campaign she said: 'A Vote for Hillary Clinton is a Vote for War '. In fact, Stein's vote in all three of those critical 'swing states' was larger than Trump's majority over Clinton.
Stein got Trump elected!

hmm, please don't take this the wrong way, I appreciate the shoutout, but I'm not big on this pizza stuff. Not buying it.
Not a shoutout, I was just trying to give you more info because you asked.
I don't believe it either but the fact that the discussion , trying to expose possible child abusers, was censored and removed while Reddit allows entire subs dedicated to pedophilia on their site shows something stinks.
Anyway....Off topic...now back to the hatefest.

Search #pizzagate and avoid the mass media articles saying it's false. Go to reddit and 4chan.
Yes, I couldn't stress that enough.
#redditleak#redditleakReddit is burning to the ground as we speak. Spez (Steve Huffman,Reddit CEO) has really fucked himself with this latest stunt. They will lose SO MUCH revenue if the destroy the most active and fastest growing subreddit. Yeah, it's a private company with their own TOS....blah blah..spare me. If Huffman or Reddit are sued, they cannot claim Section 230 immunity from a lawsuit. That's what brought down Gawker. In legal terms, Huffman has exposed Reddit to liability.
Oh well, alternatives have already been activated.
These folks never learn.

Trump aide Kellyanne Conway: No plan to pursue charges against Clinton
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/22/politics/conway-no-clinton-charges-donald-trump/
This is a 4D chess move on their part. Obama will feel no urgency to pardon Hillary before he leaves office. Trump appoints his new attorney general /DOJ and then they put the new criminal investigation into motion. At the very least the Clinton Foundation will be audited, IRS etc. I'm willing to bet money this is how it will play out.

You can find much better sources than all of these (online). I doubt Russia Today is any more objective than those. I suggest Democracy Now : https://www.democracynow.org/
I found RT to be quite good in their coverage, especially in Europe. In this world, anyone getting their news only from CNN, MSNBC,FOX, or their Facebook news feed is seriously misinformed. Just look nto how the Facebook news feed algorithms work. It's a joke.

Hes more of a narcissistic media whore than Trump is.

Imagine how low their Clinton Foundation 'speaking fees' will go?

So, privatize the U.S. education system and, without saying how, ensure that two or four-year colleges are easier to access...
You sure know how to pick 'em, Love Spent.
Did you attend a public high school in the US?

Exactly. Education and ensuring children are protected from extremist brainwashers should always be a priority. Anyone know of Trumps ideas on education policy?
From his website:
- Immediately add an additional federal investment of $20 billion towards school choice. This will be done by reprioritizing existing federal dollars.
- Give states the option to allow these funds to follow the student to the public or private school they attend. Distribution of this grant will favor states that have private school choice, magnet schools and charter laws, encouraging them to participate.
- Establish the national goal of providing school choice to every one of the 11 million school aged children living in poverty.
- If the states collectively contribute another $110 billion of their own education budgets toward school choice, on top of the $20 billion in federal dollars, that could provide $12,000 in school choice funds to every K-12 student who today lives in poverty.
- Work with Congress on reforms to ensure universities are making a good faith effort to reduce the cost of college and student debt in exchange for the federal tax breaks and tax dollars.
- Ensure that the opportunity to attend a two or four-year college, or to pursue a trade or a skill set through vocational and technical education, will be easier to access, pay for, and finish.
Donald Trump on refusing presidential salary: "I won't take even $1"
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-donald-trump-say-hed-refuse-to-take-a-salary-as-president/
* Since 2001, the president has earned a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment. *

Would we see these protests, financially supported by George Soros, if things were reversed and Trump had won the popular vote by the same margins,and Hill had become President elect?
Of course not! People who say otherwise are lying. Never heard one Dem mention of the 'corrupt electoral system' before this event. Rather transparent if you ask me.

Nothing confirmed, I should've specified. Ben Carson, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, all horrible. Not surprising they're being bandied about.. they supported him when it was unpopular to do so, it's natural to expect their reward. Plus what pool is he supposed to pick from for Secretary of State, one of his casino buddies?? It's not like there's a gaggle of high integrity individuals who love their country more than money running around Washington. I know it's early and nothing's confirmed. Just putting it out there that I don't like it. Obama did the same crap after his hope & change bull. All establishment fuckers. Trump supporters need to be vocal and nip this in the bud right now. Problem is, WHO? This country's been corrupt for so long there is nobody.
I thought the same thing.

According to several stories I've worked on and according to what Mexico's secretary of finance said, they're planning on passing the TPP without the U.S.
All of the countries that are part of the TPP already have healthy tread deals with the U.S. so they don't really care if the U.S. is part of it or not.
He said that the peso, which tanked, will completely offset the tariffs that Trump has threatened to impose on Mexican industry to build the wall and that the only thing that's going to happen is that car and TV prices will go up in the U.S. In other words, it's U.S. consumers who will end up paying for the wall if that really is his plan.
Also, he said that, again, the only people who are going to suffer if he decides to impose sanctions on Visa applicants (basically jack up the price for Mexicans to acquire U.S. tourist visas) are Americans since guess who the U.S.'s #1 tourists are:Well that wouldn't surprise me.
Speaking on Friday, EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström said it would make no sense to expect further talks on the issue, which had already stalled due to European demands over U.S. product standards and a demand for access to U.S. public sector contracts, otherwise protected by the Buy American Act.
Malmstöm, in what could be a harbinger for President-elect Trump’s attitude towards the EU, was forced to admit that EU officials are in the dark over the process. She said they “don’t really know what will happen,” and admitted TTIP “might not be the biggest priority” of the President-elect, according to Deustche Welle.
“There is strong reason to believe that there would be a pause in TTIP,”

TTIP (Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) is dead. EU has accepted defeat. All before he's even sworn in. This will get interesting.

The way I would get bashed by GetUnconcious, just as an example, for supporting Bernie Sanders, really got to me. He told me "you're Mexican, what would you know. Leave politics to the big boys."
That is outrageous! I thought GU was just a quirky, off putting guy. Boy was I wrong.

Haha! Well then. 😀
All people had to do was look at the enthusiasm gap between the two camps. Did you see the rally pics? In middle America his rallies had 7,000 - 10,000 people there, not to mention the thousands outside unable to get in because the arenas were at capacity.

So is there any reason, socio-political or otherwise, why nearly half of the electorate couldn't get off their fat lazy arses and VOTE?
Perhaps the blame, in part, should go to your beloved main stream media. I'm not speaking to Kim really but the others here who lived and died by these false poll results. Every newspaper, all networks told you he'll never win the primary.... he'll never get the nomination... he could never win Florida or any swing states and......
Hillary supporters got complacent thinking she's got this.
Trump / US politics thread 🚽

Not as simple as it looks. It appears they used the old 'Carrot and Stick' method of negotiation.
The Carrot: Carrier will keep 1,069 jobs in the US in exchange for $7 million , over 10 years, in tax breaks from Indiana.
The Stick: Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies, fears losing a portion of its roughly $6.7 billion in federal contracts.
