US judge rejects Green Party's Pennsylvania recount case
A federal judge on Monday issued a stinging rejection of a Green Party-backed request to recount paper ballots in Pennsylvania's presidential election, won narrowly by Republican Donald Trump, and scan some counties' election systems for signs of hacking.
In his 31-page decision, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond said there were at least six grounds that required him to reject the Green Party's lawsuit, which had been opposed by Trump, the Pennsylvania Republican Party and the Pennsylvania attorney general's office. The Green Party has been successful in at least getting statewide recounts started in Wisconsin and Michigan, but it has failed to get a statewide recount begun or ordered in Pennsylvania.
Suspicion of a hacked Pennsylvania election "borders on the irrational" while granting the Green Party's recount bid could "ensure that that no Pennsylvania vote counts" given Tuesday's federal deadline to certify the vote for the Electoral College, wrote Diamond, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, a Republican.
"Most importantly, there is no credible evidence that any 'hack' occurred, and compelling evidence that Pennsylvania's voting system was not in any way compromised," Diamond wrote. He also said the lawsuit suffered from a lack of standing, potentially the lack of federal jurisdiction and an "unexplained, highly prejudicial" wait before filing last week's lawsuit, four weeks after the Nov. 8 election.

I found it hilarious that despite all the calls/petitions/protests for the electoral college to not vote for Trump that Hillary actually received more non votes from the states that she won (5 vs the 2 Texas delegates who did not vote for Trump).
Hillary clearly was not the candidate the Democrats needed.

Yeah and don't forget the whole "Russia Rigged the Election" Putin hacked into the US election etc. Surely it must have nothing to do with Hillary being a failed corrupt candidate who cheated on the questions for the election, nothing to do with her looking like a career politician who doesn't give a sheit about the people LOL its always somebody else fault the FBI Director, Putin you name it somebody else fault she lost![]()

Madonna says President-elect Donald Trump winning the White House is "like being dumped by a lover and also being stuck in a nightmare."
The pop icon tells Harper's Bazaar in an interview for the magazine's February issue that election night "was just like watching a horror show." She says the feeling of Trump as president is comparable to going through a devastating breakup, saying "I wake up and I go, 'Wait a second. Donald Trump is the president. It's not a bad dream. It really happened.'"
