Jill Stein trying to expose election process concerns, not help Clinton
Nothing wrong with double-checking the vote count and if Jill Stein wants to pay for it, then more power to her!

Sanders on Wisconsin recount: 'nobody cares'
The media wants to make a big deal over this, but Sanders isn't playing that game in this clip. If it changes the outcome of the election, then so be it, but I don't think any sane person seriously thinks a recount is going to make any difference whatsoever!

Yeah but there is something very wrong here. Somehow she raised more money for the recount; in just a few days mind you, than she did for her own election campaign!

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

Apparently there are a lot of dissatisfied voters which isn't all that surprising since more people voted for Hillary than voted for Donnie. Not likely that a recount will change anything, but as long as taxpayers aren't footing the bill it's all good.

It would be interesting to see a list of those who gave her the monies. Was it really a grass roots movement or did the monies come from the same source as the paid protesters during the elections.

From what I've read the money obviously came from George Soros and was laundered through a donations website. I'd like to see CALIFORNIA'S voter registry gone through with a fine tooth comb and it's votes recounted!

I'm not a big fan of Alex Jones but he seems to have a handle on the recount situation:

It's official. Jill Stein's own party does not support the recount!
In a letter penned by Green Party Senate Candidate Margaret Flowers, and signed by dozens of prominent GPUS members, the Greens have rebelled against the farcical "recount effort" conducted by Jill Stein, saying "while we support electoral reforms, including how the vote is counted, we do not support the current recount being undertaken by Jill Stein."

I wouldn't mind seeing Trump hire Romney as secretary of state just so he can fire him the minute he steps out of line; the way he replaced Christie as soon as he started appointing lobbyists. I'm starting to see the wisdom of that type of thinking. He doesn't exactly have a large pool of competent, honest, politicians, to choose from. Gotta Keep those criminals in line!

Classroom Cold Open - SNL
He's not going to "drain the swamp" or "build the wall," but so far it looks like he's going to "build the swamp." At least based on his cabinet picks that looks like what he's trying to do. In this skit "Donald" confesses that he can't both "drain the swamp" and "build the wall," but he can "mush both of them together and build the swamp." Such a brilliant plan! Let's face it folks, we're in for a really messed up next four years.

When did Saturday Night Live become even less funnier than Fox News?
