Republicans calling for congress to accept the result, stands to reason, as the strength of the republicans lies not in undermining the constitution but defending it to the max.

Representative Thomas Massie

We, like most Americans, are outraged at the significant abuses in our election system resulting from the reckless adoption of mail-in ballots and the lack of safeguards maintained to guarantee that only legitimate votes are cast and counted. It is shameful that between both chambers of the U.S. Congress, we have held precisely one hearing on election integrity since Election Day.

which is bullshit. their argument is about separation of powers, and you could say that they're making a strict-constitutional argument thereby.

so will the narrative become "it really was stolen, but we can't overstep limits"? or will the demos rebut with "it was all above-board and legal and fuck your feelings"? which they should of course.

This bit is the key for these congress Republicans

From a purely partisan perspective, Republican presidential candidates have won the national popular vote only once in the last 32 years. They have therefore depended on the electoral college for nearly all presidential victories in the last generation. If we perpetuate the notion that Congress may disregard certified electoral votes—based solely on its own assessment that one or more states mishandled the presidential election—we will be delegitimizing the very system that led Donald Trump to victory in 2016, and that could provide the only path to victory in 2024.

Fuckers are still edging their bets with the Cult of Trump, they waffle vaguely about fraud and miscounting before coming out and saying they should accept the states votes. They still aren't coming out and saying "Trump is a fuckwit and Biden actually won"

he's great but why can't they use BSL?

I watched and enjoyed this until it turned into him begging republican voters to vote in the run off

 

[two sheds]

voting tomorrow he said?

 

[teqniq]

Yeah that what he said, it's sooner than I thought.

[Kaka Tim]

anyone know when we might get results for the georgia senate election?

 

[tendril]

Except shot is the verb, so should be just screenshot, no ted needed. The other example that irks me is hotted/hotting. Fuck that. It's heated/heating ffs!

I think i read somewhere that the polls close at midnight uk time. Not sure how long it will take to count. I guess the networks will "call it" when enough results are in.

 

[brogdale]

Cracking stuff...and a good excuse to revisit the splendid 2016 pic of Janey Godley..

It's a drug deal that takes place via the dark web.

Them Marxist Republicans running the show already know the margin by which the Chinese-funded Dems have won by.

In screenshot, shot is a noun (as is screenshot). But screenshots are normally 'taken'.
