> [@Telemark](#): > > Blasphemy! It was Orr who scored. It was Brett Hull, and the goal wasn’t even legal, because his skate was in the crease. Then the NHL makes up a totally bullshit excuse and denies that they completely blew the call – a call that stole the Stanley Cup from the Sabres in the third overtime of Game 6. To this day Lindy Ruff wants to know why the Lord lets these things happen. I mean, really, Lord, WTF? ---

Hillary Clinton won the popular election, but lost through the “knife” of the Electoral College. Bam! Prophesy fulfilled! ---

I had been thinking this scenario might be the answer, but the Lord said that the democrats would win their election and then comes the knife, right? I am leaning towards the electoral college having republican cross overs to the democrats and writing the name of Hillary Clinton in vs the winner of that state by the number of people voting for Trump in that state. At that point in time the democrats have won the election … if and this is a big if 37 votes that were suppose to be cast for Trump get reversed to being for Hillary and on top of that makes it to the US Congress to be certified on January 6th 2017. No way is a republican led majority of the House and the Senate going to approve of such a count. However could the knife be a republican congressman or republican senator that does a double cross? Probably not … twisted logic, uh? Something tells me the Supreme Court will have to interpret electoral college laws that allow this to happen independent of the states that voted for Trump. That’s where I got in trouble with the Lord worrying about the make up of the Supreme Court … God is in control and whatever this is will play out to the end and be His will. What an exciting time we live in … agreed? ---

I doubt if God has any cognisance of the Supreme Court or Congress, presumably He doesn’t regard all the institutions and petty temporary powers of every country that rise and fall like trees in a forest over aeons of time. And in 50 years Hillary will be completely forgotten, maybe in 30 years she’ll be a '_Do You Remember ?’_ How many losers from 19th century elections are commonly recalled ?; and she just kept on losing at everything she tried. Trump will be in the history books as long as the USA endures, simply because America made him president; although scarcely remembered. But his administration will be as unremarkable as any of the more forgettable 19th century presidents, just an interlude between the Clinton-Bush-Obama Wars and the next set of aggressions. He’s just a huckster at the fair — they are generally a harmless folk. ---

[Quote=Mr Quattro, 19766255] Something like that, but was it God lying to me and if so for what reason? [/Quote] Sounds like you were only cheating yourself. Do you do that a lot? [Quote=Mr Quattro, 19766255] Can you believe that … they said the poll was double digits … How did MSNBC get it so wrong. [/quote] They say Putin is Godless. Maybe with enough hacking it was out of His hands? [Quote=Mr Quattro, 19766255] So far … I thought it was the US Congress or even the Supreme Court was the knife to decide. No days like that … looks like a clear victory to me. Only speed bump left is for the electorial college to have a rouge agent in it’s midst, about 60 of them to be exact is what Hillary needs. [/quote] …or proof to surface to 60 that hacking went on. Wasn’t this the election where every single thing Trump accused Clinton of he was guilty of himself??? Rigged, huh? [Quote=Mr Quattro, 19766255] have no answer … in my heart I am happy that a woman is not the next POTUS. but now I look like a fool, uh?

You misheard. It wasn’t “the knife.” It was the _ **naïf.** _ Which is French masculine for 'naïve." ---

So I’ve been keeping this tab alive for over a month. Hillary (The Democrats) didn’t win. How does the OP justify his ridiculous prediction. I’m dumbfounded. What does god… Excuse me, GOD have to say about the fact that the Democrats did not, in fact, win their election? What is “the Knife” that was supposed to come after? Please, Mr Quatro! We need answers from your God! ---
