One final twist in an already crazy story. Hillary had more faithless electors than Trump, with one voting for Faith Spotted Eagle of the Sioux Nation.

Trump 304
Hillary 224

Pure poetry.

So 7 electors jumped ship. It's the first time there were more than one faithless electors since 1872. It'll be interested to see if it sets a precedent for future elections where more and more turn their back on the popular vote. Imagine the shit storm if enough electoral votes were turned and the outcome of the election changed...

So long as Americans have their big screen tvs, football, and the ability to pretend they are rich by owning massive debt, nothing will happen. As long as they are medicated, warm, dry, and have full bellies there will be no shit storm. D.C. knows this, thus D.C. will do what it wants.

However, to some of us that would be a huge red alert signal that time is just about out.... as once the drugs, food and cash become hard to come by, its game on...

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Much more accurate than 1984 ever was. Control the people by giving them everything they want.

[46Tbird]

I wouldn't say either is more accurate than the other. 1984 is pretty fucking prophetic too. I think I see some of these coming from both sides.
