Pence looks exhausted, which seems a fitting end to the charade of the last four years.

I feel like I'm 6 years old watching this again:

No Senator co-signing, thank goodness.

This is a Faulkner-length run-on sentence.

Is anyone else surprised that Trump hasn't commandeered the twitter account of one of his staff members?  I can imagine him sitting in the white house watching cable news, stewing that he's cut off from twitter.

Not sure why he didn't move to @POTUS but it appears he didn't. Still just retweets from his personal.

Is he able to retweet?  I thought his account was shut down for 24 hours or something?

There were House only challenges to GA, MI, and NV, WI.

For GA and WI it was said that a Senator had withdrawn.

The irony is that without the storming of the capitol, they probably wouldn't be done yet with 2 more states going to debate.

There are only two things I am willing to hear from Trump supporters right now.

1) "I am sorry. My vote aided and abetted an attempt at a fascist coup in the United States. I will now live the rest of my life attempting to atone for what I have done."

2) "I am clearly a terrible judge of character. Democrats, please educate me. How did you know the warning signs of Trump's narcissistic, dictatorial personality before I did? Before I ever cast another vote, I should learn how to watch for these things."

Anything else is either apologism, whataboutism, or genuine fascism.

What I mean is @POTUS is mostly just retweets from @RealDonaldTrump, and I don't see anything new or different.

[Alben Barkley]

What kind of LOSER can't even get 47% of the vote TWICE?

LMFAO!

I like presidents who don't lose!

And with that, Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are officially your President-elect & Vice President-elect of these United States. 13 days, 8 hours, 18 minutes, & 24 seconds to go, y'all!

You think PredictIt still has Trump stock going over 5 cents?

LOL /s

They could have cut it quite a bit closer by challenging all 50 states and DC.

Hilarious to see the humiliation of the American political elite, the Senate chamber overrun and pathetic politicians cowering in fear.

A few things of note, it is funny how the left always presents itself as the revolutionary vanguard, but the street power of the left merely amounts to burning down random shops, it is the right which is clearly the revolutionary force, storming Congress, note how banks supported the BLM riots but put out statements condemning the march on Congress, shows who the real revolutionary faction is and who the establishment is.

Secondly one must note how funny it is to see American diplomats etc who crow about how it is democracy whenever some random country who happens to oppose America has its parliament stormed by people now say the people who stormed Congress were traitors etc. The reputation damage to America will be real, its hypocrisy has been fully shown in reality.

Do you have anything remotely meaningful or productive to say or is this it?

If so, SAD!

I feel dumber after having read this post. One of the most ridiculous things I've ever read.
On another note I went on thedonald.win to see how they were taking it. I didn't expect this.

It feels like Australia happens to be the one country that happens to have a worse median poster here than the median US poster. Honestly not surprising though.

[Storebought]

I thought this thread was closed to posters supporting fascism?

[YPestis25]

It is funny how the Elves always presents themselves as the revolutionary vanguard, but the street power of the Elves merely amounts to burning down a few goblin tunnels, it is the Orcs which are clearly the revolutionary force, storming Minas Tirith, note how Manwe supported the Fellowship but sent out the eagles against the Nazgul, shows who the real revolutionary faction is and who the establishment is.

I actively feel dumber after having read this post.

What he just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in his rambling, incoherent response was he even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award him no points, and may god have mercy on his soul.

[Alben Barkley]

Trump has just come as close to conceding as he ever will: Still claims he was robbed, but also says he will commit to an orderly transition of power.
