News flash - not unexpected

PENCE has in a letter gone away from Trump's desire for him to challenge electorals.

"It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution contains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not"
Again, that Trump and other Republicans tried to get him to do otherwise tells you everything you need to know. Off with their political, metaphorical heads.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

A recount will change nothing, in either race.


Correct

They wish to avoid one nevertheless

Who is this "they" to whom you refer?

And as I noted, there will be a recount, regardless of vote count.

Good news, or at least less terrible news, about the gigantic hack that took place.

Too bad the president doesn't care what Russia does, for the most part.

If I had to guess right now -

40% chance Pence doesnt run

50% chance he runs and is beaten soundly in the primary.

As we discuss this important day - lets not lose sight of the fact that our nation is under a huge threat from Iran -

we now hear 2 government building have been evacuated due to suspicious packages

Prayers for all in our capital.

What does the 33 inside the triangle on Roy Rogers' gravestone mean?



I know he was involved with the Masons and the Shriners.

Are the Shriners involved with the Arabs? Have the Arabs been doing charity work and have they been helping crippled children in the USA, etc?

And what about Club 33 at Disneyland?

Salute,

Tony V.

After Trump’s speech, the plan was for the crowd to march from the Ellipse to the U.S. Capitol, which they did. But some members of the crowd didn’t stop at the barricades erected around the building, according to CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, who tweeted videos of rallygoers breaking down the barricades and continuing to march to the building
