Thank you so much, and now we go onward.

The House can't pick just anybody, they have to choose among the top three among those who got electoral votes.

Ah, thank you. I knew that was somewhere, thought it was earlier in the process.

I've got my fingers crossed that I can finish working on my house, get it on the market, and get it sold before he crashes the economy. I've held on to that thing for a decade waiting for it to be worth what it used to be.

I take it the electors in the Electoral College don't get the secret ballot like us commoners.

Me too. Mine is actually on the market now and EX-H and I have a contract on it. My concern is that he fucks it up, even though I have a court order AND the buyer has offered us more than we were asking (he's covering closing costs!).My EX-H is A Idiot and that's not bitterness talking. He's well known for his fuckery. And does he appreciate that I waited to sell until we could get our monies out? Hellz No. Like Trump, he sends the 3 am missives. I put a foot in that really quick.Thoughts and Prayers that I can get it closed on 1/19/2017 as planned.

Is "Trump" in Pig Latin "Ump-tray" or "Rump-tay?" Not sure which I like better...

I will be thinking and praying for the next month for you! Let me know if it pans out. Jesus, people can be such jerkwads.

I think he's pissed because 1) he's losing the rents that he wasn't sharing with me anyway and 2) he doesn't think he's getting a big enough payday. Greedy mofo.

Aren't most people? Christ, $45 billion is just not enough for the Koch brothers, or the Waltons. They are STILL spending money on advertising to try to get the GOP to cut their taxes. When you have that much money, you'd honestly have no way of telling if you lost half of it, because you'd already have more than you could spend in 300 life times, yet they still want more, and the rest of us can just piss off.

If "Trump" is a fart, is "Drumpf" a shart?

Actually . . . . . he does. They just don't have uniforms. Yet.

I do think this will lead to violence - no matter whom they put in place for trump.

Unless they give 270 to Hillary, Stein, Johnson or McMullin, (not gonna happen), the only really likely non-Trump outcome* is no one gets to 270 and the election goes to the House. Who might go for Trump, or might go for Pence, or maybe some so-called "consensus" candidate like Romney. Or maybe they ask Obummer to stay for one more goddamned year and call for new elections in 2018.

*Trump is going to be president.

But Trump's words are so much more news-ly sounding so the captured media just reports them as-is.
