Vice President-elect Kamala Harris signaled on Monday night that she was unfazed by her soon-to-be former GOP Senate colleagues’ crusade to undo her and President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory on Wednesday.
For sure!
Zoe Lofgren and Amy Klobechar will help Pence count. Long day in store, but they will get the job done. Kindergarten or Preschool training will be reviewed.
Members of Congress objecting to the Electoral College tally are pandering to Trump’s base, many out of fear of being primaried or other various negative consequences for failing to do so. They don’t have principled objections, they’re craven, mercenary objections.
So, there is every reason to believe whatever it is that is motivating them to act this way will continue to motivate them after Biden is inaugurated. Whatever it is they fear, whatever it is they think they have to gain by refusing to acknowledge Biden as President, will remain after 1/20/21.
We’re in for many years of stalemate, filibustering, investigations and Mitch McConnell bottling up every single thing Biden and Harris try to accomplish. The nation won’t move forward in any appreciable way. We’ll be lucky to look back in 2024 and be happy we managed to merely tread water, as opposed to sinking and drowning.
You know, I’d almost be tempted to agree to their idiotic “emergency audit” since it won’t find anything. In fact, even if there were actual fraud, you wouldn’t be able to complete an investigation in 10 days anyway. Call their bluff…Nah…
Man, colored folk are so uppity!
“Virtually no chance.” TPM
“So you are telling me there is a chance?” Donald Trump.
TPM is no different than every other media outlet and political commentator I listen to or read. ALL of them leave open a sliver of a chance Trump’s maneuvers have a margin for success. Yet nearly none of them detail exactly how that would happen. If you’re going to put a qualifier on your damned story follow through and provide readers precisely what the hell it is you think allows Trump to remain in office.
Just because you two are inaugurated doesn’t mean you are President and Vice President because Donnie says you are not. 
I don’t believe he has a chance, but I would pay big $$$ to watch him frantically rifle through all those super secret emergency powers documents on Jan 19.
I don’t either, nor do the media outlets writing or talking about it. Yet they insist on couching their reporting, leaving the door ajar for a Trump “victory” via means they also think do not exist.
Oh! I am so envious that you got this out there before I did. Just stealin’ stuff. I mean…
Yes. IF these fkers CONTINUE to pretend that Biden is ‘illegitimate’ after 9000000 more votes because … some horsepucky … it will reflect badly on THEM. The country, even the loyalists, want this country to work and if it doesn’t? They’ll know.
Both sides. Both sides! It’s so bleeping tiresome.
They better bring an abacus, some crayons, and a box of lollipops for each time he gets one right.
Has Mother Pence been made aware of these promiscuous, lacivious temptations?
Jennifer Lawrence could grab Pence’s ass and whisper “Follow me” in his ear and he’d refuse.
Imagine that.
There is faithful, and there is gelded.
More of this, please. Democrats need not entertain these ridiculous ass people and their performances for racists who think only their votes should count.
That’s why we’ve GOT to win these seats today. Clyburn was on Morning Joe awhile ago saying that he thinks we need an infrastructure program even bigger than the one following the Great Depression, that it’s time to go all in on rebuilding the country. If we win these GA seats we can actually do that.
“emergency audit”
I’m surprised they didn’t demand the “super duper audit”.
Any shenanigans with tomorrow will depend on what Pence has been convinced he has the power to do. It seems to me that he is supposed to be a figurehead. My guess is that he will be likely to give as much leeway as possible to the challengers, but I don’t see what they could legally do to change the outcome. The goal is to cast as much doubt as possible on the legitimacy of the election. This way whoever is the nominee for 2024 can campaign as the victim of the Biden administration’s theft of the election. I imagine that Cruz’ worst nightmare would be for Trump to get another four years. (Actually, I think that every GOP member of the Senate wants to see him gone, Four more years of this would send them all home.)
