Don't a recount will accomplish anything except to muddy the waters. Do the Democrats really want a replay of 2000 when the election was ultimately decided by the courts? The result doesn't change the fact the Democrats ran a slipshod campaign.

It's a little late for her to have regrets about Trump. She probably stole more votes from Hillary than she did Trump. if she was that concerned she should have decided not to run...like Bloomberg.

Green party only steals from Democrats, never from Republicans. Green party is an extremist version of Democrats.

President Obama's last Thanksgiving message. 
November 24, 2016
Hi, everybody. On behalf of the Obama family - Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Grandma, Bo, and Sunny - I want to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. Like so many of you, we'll spend the day with friends and family, turkey and touchdowns. We'll give thanks for each other, and for all that God has given us. And we'll reflect on what truly binds us as Americans.
That's never been more important. As a country, we've just emerged from a noisy, passionate, and sometimes divisive campaign season. After all, elections are often where we emphasize what sets us apart. We face off in a contest of "us" versus "them." We focus on the candidate we support instead of some of the ideals we share.
But a few short weeks later, Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter our differences, we are still one people, part of something bigger than ourselves. We are communities that move forward together. We are neighbors who look out for one another, especially those among us with the least. We are always, simply, Americans.
That's why, through the fog of Civil War, President Lincoln saw what mattered most - the unalienable truths for which so many gave their lives, and which made possible "a new birth of freedom." And so precisely when the fate of the Union hung in the balance, he boldly proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving, when the nation's gifts "should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people."
Today, we continue to give thanks for those blessings, and to all who ensured that they would be our inheritance. We remember the determined patriots who landed at the edge of the world in search of freedom.
We give thanks to the brave men and women who defend that freedom in every corner of the world. And we honor all people - from the First Americans to our newest arrivals - who continue to shape our nation's story, enrich our heritage, and give meaning to our founding values, values we must never take for granted. That in America, we are bound not by any one race or religion, but rather an adherence to a common belief - that all of us are created equal. That we may think, worship, and speak, and love as we please. That the gift of democracy is ours, and ours alone, to nurture and protect.
Never doubt, that is what makes us American - not where we come from, what we look like, or what faith we practice, but the ideals to which we pledge our allegiance. It's about our capacity to live up to the creed as old as our founding: "E Pluribus Unum" - that out of many, we are one. And as long as we continue to welcome the contributions of all people, as long as we stand up for each other, speak out for what is right, and stay true to these ideals - not just when it's easy, but when it's hard - then no one can ever take away our liberty. Our best days will always be ahead. And we will keep building a future where all of our children know the promise of America.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and thank you all for participating in this thread.

So a Jew and a Latino protestor got caught spray painting Swastikas and "Trump" on a Church, how wonderful.These ShitLibs will sink to the lowest of levels to achieve their hateful agenda. This sudden explosion of so called "Trump supporters hate crimes" are fabrications and hoaxes being committed by the ShitLibs themselves. Not a single footage of any of these numerous alleged "Trump supporters hate crimes" are documented in video or eyewitness reports etc... On the other hand there's countless video footage, eyewitness accounts, and police reports of ShitLibs attacking Trump supporters, even killing them. When will the deranged Left disown it's own violent thugs? The Leftist establishment always demands Trump disown the Alt-Right (which has never attacked anyone and is peaceful, regardless of the movements political views), but why have they never demanded Hillary and the Democrats disown these leftist thugs who beat and kill people for their opposing views and burn down entire neighborhoods?
Two Northwestern University freshmen were charged on Saturday with hate crimes and vandalism after admitting to spray-painting offensive symbols on the walls of a nondenominational campus chapel, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Anthony Morales, 19 (at left), and Matthew Kafker (at right), 18, spent Saturday in jail and court, where they were reprimanded by Cook County Judge Peggy Chiampas. “These allegations are disgusting to me,” she said during their bond hearing. “I don’t know if any of you know how lucky you are to be at Northwestern University.”
Their bail was set at $50,000.
Police said the students were filmed by security cameras breaking into the chapel on Friday night. The next day after which they appear to have spray-painted swastikas, pictures of genitals, racist slurs against African Americans and Muslims, homophobic slurs, and the word “Trump,” according to the Tribune.
Both students admitted the vandalism in statements given to university police, the Tribune reported.
A university spokesman told the Daily Northwestern that the students have been placed on interim suspension, which bans them from campus, for what the University president denounced in an email to students on Friday evening as a “disgusting act of hatred.”

These are just pawns.
Sustained action has to be taken against Soros and co long term for there to be real deep consequences against all the real leeches behind the scenes and not just their brainwashed lowest minions.

Jill Stein launches vote recount bid in key US states
Green party candidate says unexpected Trump wins in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania need to be investigated.
Stein polled little over one percent of the vote but a recount could swing the states over to Hillary Clinton [Reuters]
FAST FACTS
Stein calls for recount in three states that won Trump the presidency
Green party candidate has raised $3m of $7m needed to file recount application
Clinton won popular vote by 2.1m but defeat in states cost her 46 electoral votes and the presidency
Trump narrowly won the states, including Michigan by around 12,000 votes
US presidential candidate Jill Stein has launched an attempt to force recounts in three decisive states that won President-elect Donald Trump the November 8 election.
In a statement on her Twitter account on Wednesday evening, the Green Party leader said allegations of hacking by foreign states and voting anomalies made the results in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania unreliable.
"After a decisive and painful presidential race, in which foreign agents hacked in to party databases, private email servers, and voter databases in certain states, many Americans are wondering if our election results are reliable," Stein said.
"That's why the unexpected results of the election and reported anomalies need to be investigated before the 2016 presidential election is certified," she added.
The three states at the centre of the recount bid are traditional Democrat strongholds - yet, this time voters backed the Republican candidate.
Trump won by around 12,000 votes in Michigan, about 27,000 votes in Wisconsin, and roughly 68,000 votes in Pennsylvania.
Democrat challenger Hillary Clinton leads the popular vote by around 2.1 million ballots, but her defeat in the three states meant she lost out on their combined 46 electoral votes that would have secured her victory overall.
Stein has already raised $3m of the $7m needed to successfully file recount applications in the three states, at the time of publication.
Ballot box hacking
The possibility of electronic manipulation of ballots in some states was raised by the University of Michigan's J Alex Halderman.
In a blog post late on Wednesday , the professor of computer science described previous alleged attempts by hackers linked to the Russian intelligence services to change ballots in Ukraine.
Halderman said the results of the election were "probably not" caused by a cyber attack, but added ballots should be scrutinised regardless.
"The only way to know whether a cyberattack changed the result is to closely examine the available physical evidence?- paper ballots and voting equipment in critical states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania," Halderman wrote.
"Unfortunately, nobody is ever going to examine that evidence unless candidates in those states act now, in the next several days, to petition for recounts."
Stein has until Friday to file a recount petition in Wisconsin and until next week for the other two states.
Trump is due to take up office on January 20.
