I know 🙄. Not done with Christmas shopping, need to put together a Christmas grocery list but all food sound gross, I’ve got 3 coming Christmas Eve morning then driving down to IL Christmas day, and then of course all the regular duties of life. And I missed the Christmas part of the season.
Did I mention the snow?

Don’t worry – it will get done, and if it doesn’t, Christmas will come anyway!
I was really down at Thanksgiving, and my daughter said we could go out for Chinese, and it would still be Thanksgiving. I had my groceries delivered, which saved me a bunch of energy, and the kids stayed in a hotel instead of with me, which took a lot of pressure off.
Do what you can, delegate (if necessary), and enjoy your Christmas! Don’t forget shopping on line. I do almost all of my shopping that way, and have for a couple of years now.

Tripwire dates: 19 December 2016 Electoral College meets
28 December 2016 Deadline for electoral votes to be received by responsible Federal officials in DC
06 January 2017 Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes
20 January 2017 President sworn in
US Archives say that historically 99% of the electors vote as pledged so 19 December seems les of a problem. The new Congress is sworn in on the 3rd of January so the Republican controlled Congress will be in place for the count. Of course Congress could pass a law moving the count earlier or later but that wouldn’t do much other than cloud the issue…it’s also highly unlikely that thevlaw would pass both Houses.
Looks like the plan might be to take the election to the Supreme Court, arguing foreign influences threw it to Trump. SCoTUS is off for Christmas and New Years but would undoubtedly reconvene as they did in the 2000 election…problem is it ain’t a full Court. Also axquestion as to whst the CIA would say as Republicans could demand a review of exactly how the Company got the info on thevhacking and how thry ID’d the Russians. That would involve new, post-Snowden procedures and they don’t wanna give them up.
If this is going to be contested it’s going to be in the SCotUS and I have no doubt teams of Rat lawyers are burning thebmidnight oil setting up arguements.

They cannot afford to open themselves up to that type of scrutiny. Not with Trump ready to counter punch and a legion of patriots standing ready at the door. December 19th, the Electoral College votes as it should, votes will be received on time, January 6th votes counted, January 20th = President Trump.
The elites thought that it was not an issue that Hillary was going to win, they did not make a contingency plan for a Trump victory. Why would they? They are arrogant, self assured cheaters who put every vile trick into place to steal this election, there was no way that a bunch of bumpkins clinging to their religion and their guns was going to legitimately out vote the Soros machine.
Until we did 😊.
Remember the Madam President magazine, remember the fireworks. Remember that the Clinton Foundation donations have dried up. Remember Chelsea giddy with joy that Justice Scalia was dead and now her mom could snatch our guns. How long have they been coming for our muskets?
Even Soros is not ready for the chaos and anarchy an outright coup would bring to the USA. The elite wannabe dictators do not want to be dragged out of their beds. They want to rule over sheep not battle wolves.
More than anything else I fear for Trump’s safety. May God blind his enemies, may their plans fall short, may they be destroyed and snared in their own traps. May each person who plans to do Trump physical harm be swallowed by the earth.

If Obama wants to trash the evil blue-eyed devil’s system as he and his minions are cast back to hell…OK, South Side Chicago, not getting into a beef with hell’s PR firm again…they could take this to the SCotUS. That would create a barrel of problems, give them payback for 2000, and create a Constitutionsl crisis. I’m sure Hillary still has her penciled list of appointees, probably saving that for her ‘almost presidential library’, and could make it appear faster than the Whitewater documents.
Think of Obama and Soros’ demonic glee at the possibilities of 1 minute after noon on January 20th with no president, a president ready to be removed by Court order or the Bride of Chucky waddling up the steps with a SS agent under each arm, ready to take the oath.

growing up as a kid in rural East Texas, we had a neighbor who was a RR engineer and a man’s man, lovely wife…was gone a lot with the RR, but Fixed Stuff for folks. He came over and moved our yard when mom and dad were sick, never said a word, just did it…would have been embarrassed to be thanked, altho my mother was embarassed to receive his gift….I always thought that the man did it because of who he WAS and what made HIM happy….my mom spent too much time, maybe, trying to make everything equal and reciprocate instead of allowing him the reward of his good deed for himself.
Not that this has anything to do with anyone clearing off snow or anything, but the posts triggered a childhood memory of growing up.

That is so true. It was a lesson I had to learn a long time ago. Right now I have a friend who is better off than I am. She is not rich, but is very comfortable. One of her greatest joys is to be able to give to others, sometimes large gifts. I have to remind myself sometimes just to accept thankfully and joyfully. Because that is what she likes in return, to see others happy with their gift.

Savage was right more than a decade ago. A nation only exists when three factors all exist at once, homogenously: borders, language, and culture. If you’re missing even one of these homogeneities, you don’t have a nation. All you have is a place, and even then, you don’t even possess it — it’s up for grabs. Like putting your laptop case down at the subway station. It’s not in your hands? It’s anyone’s for the taking.

I got emotional about it, too. It’s amazing to witness so much patriotism and love of our country. It’s one of those moments that makes you remember there are many other Americans out there that understand how blessed we are to live here and how much we want to protect our home. Your comments were really touching, Wooly. I believe the good Lord is giving us a great opportunity to save our nation. Many good people have lifted our country and Donald Trump up in prayer and blessedly God answered us with a chance to correct course. We have so much to be thankful for this Christmas.

Meh…how technical do ya wanna get? Putin had held Rookie presidency for two terms and was barred for holding it for a consecutive third.

When I hear that, ignoring the potential snarky/sleazy answer, I wonder if that reply wasn’t more about allowing Putin to have more leeway in reestablishing his influence in his Near Abroad.
Barry did want those ‘centers of power’ and Putin would be his pick for one of them. Problem was that Putin, a pro national/international pol, saw Obama as a feckless lightweight and ran right over him. Someday Vlad will pen his autobiography and we’ll hear how he really feels about thevBoy Wonder. Putin’s national advances under Barry far exceed those under Bush and Clinton.

Ok, as most here have lost friends and even family over this election cycle, I decided yesterday to e-mail an old good friend that ditched me once he found out I was Pro Trump. Now, he is an older gentleman, 65, from Ireland originally and now lives in Canada. We spent 2 years in a school of ministry here in town, and became really close.
Last night came across Scott Adams blog, on differing perspectives. Good read.
http://blog.dilbert.com/post/154289405111/the-time-that-reality-forked-right-in-front-of-you
This morning received a reply from him that he had, “never in his 65 years of living had he experienced such a letter full of hate!!!?
Now, in my e-mail, I explained why I was for Trump, the wall in particular. I used several of my life experiences and observations, and those that affected my kids.
My concerns as a father, (he is childless) my concerns with laws enforced for some but not others, and 2 life threatening instances that nearly took the life of my 2 of my children. One an illegal and another a Muslim.
Also, a good friend of my daughters was randomly stabbed and killed in a night club that my daughter and beau frequent, by an illegal. Absolutely no media coverage. It was in San Francisco about 8 months ago.
Must say, I was not expecting his reaction. Maybe this Scott guy has it pegged. There is a vast difference of views, supported by where you take in your information. There are two sides so foreign to each other, and the intolerance is growing, on both sides.
I do feel that war is inevitable, and sooner than I hoped for.
