Shame on everyone who helped cause it – whether it's people at the top of government who treated it like a hoax/flu, or ordinary Americans on the ground who (still) refuse to wear masks.

All it would take to spare us of three more weeks of this nonsense is for *two* Republican Senators to publicly commit to rejecting any challenge to Biden electors.

It's good that more elected Rs are accepting reality as the Electoral College has voted, but it shouldn't have taken this long, their statements are not strong enough, and it's still not enough of them.
Sorry to ask this. But one of our TOD Fam posted a tweet a few posts back. It had the most interesting Xmas tree, no branches to tree, just decorations making the form of tree. I didn’t have time to enjoy & didn’t book mark it. Could you help me to find that post? 💞
Tough day for people who bet a lot of money on Trump winning the election.

A Washington state elector who said he's very ill spoke passionately about casting his vote for Biden.

Thinking of those who lost a loved one eight years ago today at Sandy Hook.
We owe it to their memory, and the countless others lost in America's ongoing gun violence, to act boldly to prevent the loss of any more innocent life.
I'm no longer going to use the term "Republican Party." For me, they are the Party of Sedition, as long as they continue on their treasonous path to overthrow democracy. Seditionists – those who vote for them, and fund them need to be called out, and shunned.
Ok we were told that today would be the day that Trump and team would finally recognize the results of the presidential election. It didn’t happen. If you are still silent and therefore supporting this grotesque assault on our democracy, shame on you. It’s un-American. Enough.
JUST IN: Russia's Vladimir Putin has offered his congratulations to Joe Biden for his presidential election win, per a Kremlin statement https://t.co/IHmmmiaMyl
Perhaps, it was Not a 50-50 Party ctrl?
Dems don’t utilize & play hardball as GOP would?
"Once seated as the Senate’s constitutional presiding officer, Vice President Kamala Harris can break gridlock by recognizing any senator to bring any House-passed bill to the floor. She can do that without altering any Senate rule with a procedural vote. And she should."
It wasn’t 50-50, but based on the article, it doesn’t have to be for the Senate President to exert that authority.
At any rate, you’re right about the GOP playing hardball. At this moment in time, Democrats don’t have the luxury of not playing hardball. To get this democracy back on track and clean up some of the chaos of the past 4 years, Democrats will need to utilize every obscure rule and loophole that is available… and then some.
💯‼
If this was an option & Dems didn’t use this in 2016, then, They are really bad at Politicking…I thought I knew politics…I guess I have a lot still to learn.
Thanks, I will look seriously more into this in the next few days.
Exactly. They can’t keep using norms, traditions, and policies that evolved rather than were constitutionally given. Not in a world that has been controlled by abnormality.
Incredible. Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulates Joe Biden and calls him "president-elect," and though he was weeks behind other leaders, he still acknowledged reality sooner than many Congressional Republicans. https://t.co/T2LbWTdUO4

Dr. Fauci to ABC on vaccinating Biden and Harris: “For security reasons, I really feel strongly that we should get them vaccinated as soon as we possibly can. You want him fully protected as he enters into the presidency in January, so that would be my strong recommendation."

President-elect Joe Biden’s (marvelous) speech following the Electoral College Vote:
“A few states went for recounts. All the counts were confirmed. The results in Georgia were counted three times.
It didn’t change the outcome. The recount conducted Wisconsin actually saw our margin grow. The margin we had in Michigan was 14 times the margin President Trump won that state by four years ago. Our margin in Pennsylvania was nearly twice the size of the Trump margin four years ago. And yet none of this has stopped baseless claims about the legitimacy of the results.
Even more stunning,
17 Republican Attorneys General, and 126 Republican members of the Congress, actually, they actually signed onto a lawsuit filed by the state of Texas. That lawsuit asked the United States Supreme Court to reject the certified vote counts in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This legal maneuver was an effort by elected officials and one group of states to try to get the Supreme Court to wipe out the votes of more than 20 million Americans in other states. And to hand the presidency to a candidate who lost the Electoral College, lost the popular vote, and lost each and every one of the states whose votes they were trying to reverse.
It’s a position so extreme, we’ve never seen it before. And position that refused to respect the will of the people, refused to respect the rule of law, and refused to honor our Constitution. Thankfully, a unanimous Supreme Court immediately and completely rejected this effort. The Court sent a clear signal to President Trump that they would be no part of an unprecedented assault on our democracy. Every single avenue was made available to President Trump to contest the results. He took full advantage of each and every one of those avenues. President Trump was denied no course of action he wanted to take. He took his case to Republican governors and Republican Secretary of State as he criticized many of them, to Republican state legislature, to Republican appointed judges at every level. And then the case decided after the Supreme Court’s latest rejection, a judge appointed by President Trump wrote, “This court has allowed the plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits.” Lost on the merits.
Congratulations to President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris!!!!
—-Also noted, Joe Biden’s spot-on rebuke to trump and republican congressionals.

Barr the obsequious:
“I am greatly honoured that you called on me to serve your administration
and the American people once again as Attorney General. I am proud to have played a role in the many successes and unprecedented achievements you have delivered for the American people. Your 2016 victory speech in which you reached out to your opponents and called for working together for the benefit of the American people was immediately met by a partisan onslaught against you in which no tactic, no matter how abusive and deceitful, was out of bounds. The nadir of this campaign was the effort to cripple, if not oust, your administration with frenzied and baseless accusations of collusion with Russia.”
