[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

As much as I hate red, I'll have the D-CA avatar for a while after today.

EVEN YOU WENT FOR RED!?!?!?!


This is a movement!

Great job uniting America, Republicans.

Am I a joke to you?

I was watching FOX News all day, and they were being fair and somewhat critical of Trump.  I actually feel that they are the least biased of the Big 3 cable networks during the daytime. But, then, primetime comes and Tucker Carlson comes on...

Start voting for Democrats.  That’s your only option.

But we're the heathen baby killers.

I would think Republicans would be more likely to kill heathen babies than Democrats.     Democrats are decidedly in favor of more heathen babies as future Democratic voters.

It feels like we published this years ago, but it’s worth rereading this late 2019 article from FiveThirtyEight contributor Lee Drutman: “If Republicans Ever Turn On Trump, It’ll Happen All At Once.”

The idea was that elected Republicans were very unlikely to turn on the president, as they have so many incentives not to, but that if it did happen, it would happen in a rush (as opposed to gradually). It’s hard to say right now exactly how extensive the Trump-vs.-elite-GOP split is, but today we’ve seen a far more robust rebuke of the president from far more elected Republicans than I think we ever have before.

Does that mean Republicans will drop their objections to the Electoral College vote? Some Republicans already have. But we’ll see how many ultimately do.

I may be a socialist, but I'm a f**king democratic socialist.

What happened was a f**king travesty. This is all the fault of one man whose ego won't let him even consider that he's wrong.

You're so much of cultural a red avatar that it went right over my head. Updated.

Sasse's navigation through the entire election is slowly helping his '24 stock. You might think the party will go full Trump, but watch.

And Rhode Island. I never understood why they were so small while Vatican City is normal sized.

Can we finally ban people like Fuzzy for spreading propaganda that leads to people doing what we saw today?

Hit deer deer dead

[NeederNodder]

It's no longer a question whether or not Trump gets banned off of social media but rather if the current landscape of social media remains intact by 2024 (and it doesn't seem likely after these events).

[YPestis25]

Not enjoying Sasse's speech at all. Not fit for the moment.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

/Random tweets from random people

Who are these people, why should I care and whats with this boards obsession with "Rose Twitter"?

[Torrain]

Man. Sasse can give a speech. He's being more presidential right now, than Trump could ever dream of being.

Too campaign-y for tonight though.

It's all America f**k yeah. There'll be time for that, but it's odd in the middle of a debate about election interference.

Nope, "Forum Institution" defense and all that crap

[Badger]

It would probably be a good idea for Biden to scrap the outdoor swearing-in ceremony and just do it in the WH.

I posted a picture of the inaugural platform on fire but nobody responded, Idek if they'd be able to do it outside at this point.

Wait a minute. I remember seeing that post but can't find it now. That was literally the inauguration platform set on fire??!?

What is Sasse doing going on about drug dealers and driveways?

He was laughing and making jokes. "There a joke among Senators that Mr. Grassley has voted in two thirds of the 59 Presidential elections. Don't worry he's laughing." It was really tone deaf....like did you think this is a joke?

Trying to cram an 8-10 minute speech into 5 minutes
