The Jill Stein Recount Ploy is a Scam Worthy of the CNBC Show American Greed

Hillary Clinton already conceded the election and isn’t interested in dividing the country via a ridiculous recount. After all, she was the one holding Trump’s feet to the fire in accepting the outcome of the elections and not challenging its efficacy.

Enter Shill Stein and her money grabbing schemes — playing off the butthurt feelings of the millions of people crying into their dinner jackets over the Clinton loss — raising enormous amounts of funds from them since Wednesday.

Let me rephrase that so it can sink in.

Jill Stein is brazenly taking advantage of people by hanging hope of their heads, saying send me your money and I will ensure Trump isn’t the next President of the United States. Essentially, that’s what this is about, no?

Since Wednesday, Stein’s money raising schemes have topped $5 million. Her original goal was $2.5m, but rose, dramatically, after the money started to roll in. Her new goal is $7 million. Recounts will begin in Wisconsin soon. She’s hoping to do recounts in PA and MI too, for the sake of the people, of course.

Via her own website:

“We cannot guarantee a recount will happen in any of these states we are targeting. We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states.”

If the recounts don’t happen, what will become of all that money? Stein’s website says any “surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform.”

Interestingly, as her money raising schemes proved successful, the alleged costs associated with the recount rose dramatically — including millions to be paid out to lawyers.

Nate Silver isn’t a fan.

Jonah sums it up perfectly.

Here’s Stein’s conference, discussing her absurd contest.

The neverending election continues.

    They have to flip all three states….good luck on that
    I was on some online boards today where folks were actually donating money and they accused me of being a Russian troll.
    Sad how many people are held back in life and prosperity by victimhood thinking.

    Hope this link is not too “cuck” for you guys. But Lerner is probably one of the best human beings on the planet… check his Muhammad Ali funeral speech… especially if you are one of the Zionist conspiracy or “Islam is an evil ideology” knuckleheads. He was a Bernie supporter, and invited Clinton, Trump and Johnson for an interview but lo and behold nobody showed up except Jill. I’m progressive myself. It’s my religion. Probably biggest reason I didn’t vote for the humble “Christian” Trump, that and the whole China global warming joke. This world is a test as far as I’m concerned. Anyone with his charity record is clearly not God-fearing nor trying to make our home a better place.

    I digress. It’s Shabbat after all.

    Long story short… This recount shit is nuts. Jill Stein had no respect for Hilary… if anything she had more for Donald and knew that jumping in on the race improved his chances of winning and now she does this nonsense.

    “If Hillary loses to Trump, it’s the Democratic Party that should be faulted for blocking the nomination of Bernie Sanders, and using the dirty tricks they used that were revealed in the emails that were revealed the days before the Democratic Convention which show a history of consciously trying to block Sanders. There is a possibility that she will lose it to Trump because people don’t like her, the more they see of her the more they don’t like her, as much as people are also very much horrified by Donald Trump. She is the horrifying establishment candidate; he’s the horrifying new kid on the block.”

        Relax! She has melted and froze many times before. She’s had unprecedented volcanism, ocean poisoning, comet and asteroid hits before there were Republicans and Capitalists. The earth is a big girl and she doesn’t need you or any other aggrandized ants around to “save” her. Better to learn to adapt instead of opposing change.

      My religion is progressive.

      Tikkun Olam.

      A Jewish concept defined by acts of kindness performed to perfect or repair the world. The phrase is found in the Mishnah, a body of classical rabbinic teachings. It is often used when discussing issues of social policy, insuring a safeguard to those who may be at a disadvantage.

        That’s cool. I like leaving religion out as many ways people see it, and taking what the market gives.

        not supporting Medicaid and Medicare cuts for example or funding public schools with a .5% tax on stock trades.

        And if you are afraid of a .5% tax…

        quit the game…

          It would only cost 60 billion over 10 years to make just community colleges free.

          Then Bubba wouldn’t need to vote hoping he’ll get a job building a wall.

          Sounds good to me. There are way better ways to slosh money around than to current political types. My question is, will Trump rebuild military? Huge spend if so. Unfathomable.

          Would be good for GD and RTN but I don’t see us losing wars. Sounds great if you’ve bought into all the paranoia and fear… or if you’re a bigot. Why making military more cost-efficient is a terrible idea is beyond me. Our crusade has created a generation of ignorant and violent young Arab men who see the west as the devil. We could have bombed Afghanistan with Ecstasy pills and had better results… and less dead Americans.

    Stein just raised more money than she did during her bid for president in 2 days

    Can anyone explain to me why a woman who has absolutely no chance of winning regardless of a re-count is raising money to have a recount for Hillary when she could have ensured a Hillary win had she not run to begin with?

    I have now lost all respect for Stein. I had actually considered voting for her, but smartly chose to not vote at all.

    The recount may not change the results of the election, but you can be sure the legal team (now paid for) will contest ballots in court, dragging the process, ensuring that WI,MI and PA are not able to have a certified vote by the time the electoral college votes. Take a look at the ballots that were contested in the 2008 Franken election in MN. This will drag on for months and ensure that Trump does not take office on January 20.
