It smells, but I don't really care. Someone is making money one way or the other.

And the good news is, it's the state of Wisconsin, which can probably use the cash.

If you're going to drain the swamp....there's nothing wrong with double checking the system that created the swamp. I want it to be accountable. I don't see it changing the election result one bit but if the system is "rigged"....Donald should have no trouble with it....he's the guy who's supposed to make all this right isn't he? Hillary nor the Dems started this recount..that's not even an issue. Stein is trying to make a noise....she should have tried much, much earlier.

Trump isn't draining a swamp, he's just throwing in worse creatures, and making it thicker with corruption.

I've been wondering about the "drain the swamp" thingie. I mean, in order to drain a swamp, you have to have someplace lower than the swamp for swamp-muck to flow to. Are we supposed to believe that there's somewhere lower than Washington DC? The oceans are out, because they're dying already and the swamp-muck would just hasten the death spiral. I guess you could flow it to New Orleans, since that's below sea level, but that would just be cruel after Katrina. I think Trump needs to start talking about "pumping the swamp", like you do with the septic tank.

Stein sues after Wisconsin refuses to order hand recounts
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...tions-staff-layout-recount-timeline/94539210/


"According to Wanda Murren, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State, the deadline under the law for a voter-initiated recount at the county level had been Monday, Nov. 21. Many counties missed it but nearly half have already certified their results, precluding recounts there. That makes a lawsuit the only remaining option for initiating a statewide recount. "

Stein is just proving that the 3rd and 4th parties are just swinging from the nuts of the dems and repubs. all you glass half full people that think 3 rd party would save us are fooling yourselves. this country will continue to spiral downhill until we kill eachother or some other country wipes us out. deal with it.

Speaking of The Black Lagoon, here's a pic of it (film location) that I took last spring when I visited Florida.

Maybe Trump will rename the United States Trumpland

Mr. Nixon’s friends, including Illinois’ legendary Sen. Everett Dirksen, believed they had convincing evidence of what had happened and urged Mr. Nixon to demand a recount. In the end, however, Mr. Nixon said no, because even if they were right, a refusal to accept the results would result in turmoil and undermine the foundations of the country.

But that was then. This year Hillary Clinton and the American left are acknowledging nothing. They are convinced that fraud, lies and foreign governments conspired to elect Donald Trump on Nov. 8 and are apparently willing to do whatever might be necessary to keep him from being sworn in as our 45th president in January. The far left took to the streets as soon as the networks declared him the winner and has vowed to close down Washington on Inauguration Day.

During the campaign itself and since, Mrs. Clinton’s supporters and friends in the media have charged that the voters were somehow bamboozled by “fake news,” the FBI and hackers working at the behest of Russian President Vladimir Putin to keep her from being elected. Back in 1960, Mr. Nixon blamed the machinations of vote-stealing elected officials for what went on, while Mrs. Clinton and her allies are essentially blaming foreign powers and an easily bamboozled and not overly bright electorate for her defeat. The old liberal question of “What’s wrong with Kansas?” has morphed into the broader “What’s wrong with America?”

There seems no conspiracy too bizarre as they spin facts to support their belief that Mr. Trump should be denied the White House. Prior to the election when they thought the lady would win in a walk, the nation’s media and Mrs. Clinton spent a good bit of time warning us that if Mr. Trump and his followers didn’t immediately accept the results, they would be responsible for destabilizing the very foundations of our democracy. In their third debate, Mrs. Clinton said that in suggesting things might be rigged against him, Mr. Trump was “talking down our democracy” and The New York Times suggested that questioning the outcome “risks lasting danger to the Republic.”

...


Lest these efforts be dismissed as the rantings of a few half-crazed Clinton supporters inhabiting the fever swamps of the left, it should be noted that the campaign is being spearheaded by the left-wing Change.org, which claims to have collected the signatures of 4.6 million people in support of what they are doing.

Mrs. Clinton has herself decided to support the campaign to demand recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania if Green Party candidate Jill Stein is successful in getting something going — a desperate last shot at the brass ring. Even though few of her supporters think a recount will change anything, they harbor the hope that if the recounts cannot be completed by the Dec. 13 deadline, denying the Electoral College the ability to declare a winner when it meets on Dec. 19, there is an outside chance that they can throw the whole thing into the House of Representatives and give her one last shot at the office she has craved for so long.

As Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said upon hearing this news, “What a pack of sore losers.”

Hillary Clinton should be ashamed of how badly she comes off when compared to Richard Nixon.
 
Trump lawyers file complaint, halt Michigan recount.

Trump's team, in its objection, argues that Stein hasn't provided sufficient evidence to doubt the election results.

"All available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake," the complaint argues.

Hmm...

Stein doesn't have standing. She doesn't stand to win the recount, and it at least appears she is a tool of the Clinton losing campaign (against the law). His petition to the court has merit.
 
Really, what is the point? In Florida there was only a few hundred vote difference and we saw the clusterfuck that was.

So what does Trump have to hide? If he's calling the recounts a farce, and as experts say the results won't change anything...why does he need to stop the recounts? Why not let Stein waste the money she raised and then have a laugh at her and the Democrats when the results come in the same....or maybe he has something to hide. Maybe he knows the results would be overturned....probanly not realistically...but Why is he so scared
 
Trump team fails, recounts will happen
 
Will lefties be even more butthurt when the recount doesn't steal the election?

I have yet to see anyone, lefty or otherwise, who thinks the recounts will change the result.
