43*

The recount was stopped. Courts refused to step in. The election was decided by an incredibly small number of votes. When it came to tally the electoral college votes there was an objection in Congress but at the end of the day it made no difference. A new president was sworn in.

Several months later a news organization took it upon themselves to finish the count and it turned out that the man who had been declared the loser had actually won. It was an incredibly small margin, but he won after all, and therefore won enough electoral votes to become President. It was months later, and the other man had been sworn in, but the man sworn in hadn't won the election.

So once the truth came out why the hell didn't Al Gore become President?

Because there's no "takes-backsies" clause in the Constitution.

Look, I understand that there is a group of people in this country who say over and over again that the truth will out and that the previous guy will be reinstated. There are even people in Congress who say it. Thing is, it can't happen. There is no mechanism of any kind to make it happen. There is no law. There is no provision. Once the votes are accepted by Congress it's over.

OVER.

Otherwise Al Gore would have been President of the United States.

Think how different the world would have been if Al Gore had been President on 9/11. Or maybe not - after all it was the Democrats who pushed for the Department of Homeland Security. A lot of people don't remember that.

But the point is that Gore was never President, despite it turning out that once the votes were counted that he had won Florida by the slimmest of margins. You must remember that what the Supreme Court did was STOP the vote counting while Little Bush was ahead, again by the slimmest of margins, and not all the votes counted. Once the dust settled and congress accepted the results of the Electoral College (again, with an objection by a member of Congress) the votes were fully tabulated by an auditor hired by The Guardian Newspaper, which determined that Gore had won.

Gore didn't become President.

It doesn't matter at all what the Arizona "Fraudit" comes up with, or what any other state does if they go through with this either. Trump will not become President. There is no clause in the Constitution that allows for a reinstatement of a President. There is no clause that can remove a sitting President for this either. Only Impeachment is possible - and you might have noticed by now that Impeachment has never worked.

Trump cannot become President again unless re-elected or if he becomes Speaker of the House of Representatives and both Biden and Harris are Impeached. That second scenario is the more likely one, and it's ludicrous.

Gore didn't become President. Trump will not be President again.

And haven't you noticed yet that "Q/Q-Anon" has been wrong every single fucking time?!!?!!?!!?

I don't know if you've yet seen Rachel Maddow's take on "Italygate" but you really should.

Raider Nation Pride.

If you don't think this is wrong then fuck you.

I've always found it funny how many people who want to upload the "Judeo-Christian" traditions fail so miserably at the "Judeo" part.

Filibusted..

Junebug.

Kinda meaningless, Joe.

And because I love you, I have a movie preview you really need to see:
