Spin Zone / November Best Case Scenario
« on: September 14, 2016, 04:09:34 PM »
This is incredibly unlikely, but what the hell...


Phase 1:
On November 8, the states go in such a way as the EC vote is 269-269, and that vote holds through the December election and the January counting of the EC votes.


Phase 2:
After the counting of the EC votes in a Joint Session, the House and Senate retire to their respective chambers to select the President (House) and Vice President (Senate).


Here's where the magic happens.  According to the 12th Amendment, the House votes by state, with each state receiving one vote.  If a state delegation cannot decide by majority (say a state with 2 reps who are split), they cast no vote.  The winning candidate must receive a majority of all states (26) to win.


Best case:  Neither Clinton nor Trump can get 26 states here.


Now, the Senate votes normally, and let's say the Republicans maintain their majority there, so we end up with Mike Pense as the VP-elect.  On January 20, there being no elected President-Elect, Pence is sworn in as VP and immediately thereafter as Acting-President.  Assuming nothing major changes in the House, he would remain in that role for at least 2 years (until the 2018 House elections), and if the House still cannot get to 26 states, then all the way to 2020.

At least right now...a 15 year tape delay from 2001 live coverage.  Brings back many memories that need to be remembered.

Spin Zone / Interesting Proposal: Impeach Clinton

Very interesting proposal.  Have Congress impeach Clinton for her multiple crimes committed while serving as Secretary of State and impose a "disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States"


Seems a thoughtful piece, and I recommend it to each of you to read.

Since Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed away in February, his seat on the court has remained unused. With Senate Republicans refusing to consider a nominee until after the election, hopes for filling the vacancy anytime soon have remained low, but what is happening now shows just how bad the situation has gotten:

“I have emptied the property,” Luis Guevara, the owner of the house, which is in the Coconut Grove section of the city, said in an interview. “Nobody lives there … we are going to make a construction there.” Neighbors said the property had been abandoned for several months.


What the hell is it with liberals and ignoring election laws to suit themselves?

Spin Zone / Shocking!
« on: August 25, 2016, 07:47:12 AM »
I believe I mentioned during the primaries when Donnie was getting his ass kicked in delegate selection (after the votes when the actual delegates were selected), that he had no interest in actually doing the work of running for office, and would mess up in the general.  My thought was that he'd miss appointing electors in a state, so he'd win it but nobody would be able to vote for him in the EC.


Well, it turns out he didn't bother to file to be on the ballot in MN:

"Putin's not going into Ukraine"

Vladimir Putin arrived in Crimea to convene a meeting of his Security Council, stoking tensions over the disputed peninsula that Ukraine has warned could precede a “full-scale” invasion by Russia.
