The Electoral College will be meeting today- It should be interesting to follow this as the day goes on…
And then there is this on the funding/people behind the vote Clinton campaign.
Well, well, well… Look what crawls out of the dark when one follows the money…
The public relations firm working behind the scenes with the faithless electors is rife with ties to prominent Democrats like President Obama and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Megaphone Strategies, whose stated mission is to “use PR as a tool to diversify progressive movements,” typically works with progressive causes like Black Lives Matter. The firm is representing the handful of “faithless electors” trying to keep President-elect Donald Trump from winning the Electoral College vote.
The firm was co-founded by Van Jones, the former green jobs czar in the Obama White House who later resigned after it was revealed he signed a statement questioning whether the Bush administration had a role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Jones now works as a CNN commentator.
Full article HERE, at The Daily Caller. The more one digs, the more often one finds Soros money behind all these ‘shadow’ organizations that seem to scurry from the light anytime people start digging…
Between Soros and Bloomie, they seem to fund about 90% of the opposition, one way or the other… It will be interesting to see how Trump handles these once he gets in office…
Also, there are these comments, apparently from BO at a speech in Tampa at McDill in early Dec…
Characterizing the military’s mission as a fight against “violent extremism,” Obama insisted that soldiers need to rise up against Trump if they feel he is pushing policies that are ill considered.
Obama told the troops, “each of us has…the universal right to speak your minds and to protest against authority; to live in a society that’s open and free; that can criticize our president without retribution.”
Soooo… Is he telling the troops to violate UCMJ here? Art 88 Contempt toward officials???
Obama went on to insist that a proper U.S. policy against “violent extremism” is a “long term” policy.
“So rather than offer false promises that we can eliminate terrorism by dropping more bombs or deploying more and more troops or fencing ourselves off from the rest of the world,” Obama said, “we have to take a long view of the terrorist threat. And we have to pursue a smart strategy that can be sustained. In the time remaining, let me just suggest what I think should guide this approach.”
Oh, and he apparently also blamed Bush for ISIS/ISIL… sigh…
Hey Old NFO;
I wonder what the clown in the White House was thinking, I know what the allies in the pacific were thinking when the very subdued reaction to China brazenly snagging the underwater drone. Our long time allies are nervous. China has a thing about testing New U.S. Presidents. I wonder if this is a last shot on Obama or a early dig on Trump.
Advocating the overthrow of the civilian government, by other than the ballot box. Sounds like treason to me.
But you can be sure he didn’t mean it that way. He is a Harvard Law Constitutional scholar, you know!
I suspect that the US military will view Obama’s years in office in the same way at they viewed the miserable Carter years. History offers a window for those of us who lived through that cur’s mismanagement.
Barack’s hubris and ego are boundless but we’re coming to the point where nobody cares. Yes, he’s staying in DC to be a heckler to the Trump Administration, and the usual suspects are still hanging out and funding skulduggery. I think that over time they will wear out their welcome – as Trump success piles on success. It was that way during the Reagan years, if you recall.
that can criticize our president without retribution.”
No surprise. He has p^ssed on so many principals, what is one more?
“each of us has…the universal right to speak your minds and to protest against authority”
Thought Obama was the president who was firing lots of generals and others who were “speaking truth to authority”? Hypocrisy much?!?!
My take is that Obama is all twitter-paitted with Trump winning and that everyone who voted for Trump evidently feels that O is no longer the brightest bulb in the room.
Soros and Bloomie may find out that money can’t buy everything, at least here in America. Us peons get a vote, and a big bunch of us used it. Flyover country really does matter after all. That may be the biggest lesson for the Dems of 2016.
Not that they will willing verbalize any understanding of THAT!

Just as Obozo did not know the correct pronunciation of “Corps”, he also is unaware, after 8 years as POTUS that the military is not a democracy. What an imbecile!
Sounds to me like the Mighty Lightbringer is trying to incite insurrection. But of course, I waste my time pointing it out. No one will ever prosecute that weasel.
Oops, did I write that out loud?
This is my surprised face. No, really.
We must be great entertainment for our allies and foes abroad. Oy. +1 DaddyBear
All- Thanks for the comments. LL you’re exactly right!

Something that I don’t think he’s really thought about:
There’s a bunch of us out here in flyover country that took that whole “protect and defend The Constitution of the United States” thing seriously, and realize that the oath does not have an expiration date. He might not realize it, but that’s a can of worms that he REALLY does not want to open, now, or ever.
RS- Oh so true… And no, it doesn’t expire!
Somewhere in deepest, darkest Georgia a wizened old man cackles over his mug of tea cackling “No longer the worst! No longer the worst! Hee, hee, hee”
So nice that Soros et al. spent billions of dollars on a failed campaign.. That much less to bankroll skullduggery over the next four years.
