Pour one out for the (unnamed) Republicans who (apparently, secretly) acknowledge that President-elect Joe Biden won the race, but tragically have no choice but to do nothing as their leader strikes a match and pours lighter fluid all over the principles of American democracy as he refuses to concede.
âThey call me to say âCongratulations, please convey my well wishes to the President-elect, but I canât say that publicly yet,'â Sen. Chris Coons [said].

That is some Grade A snark. Thank you, Ms. Cabrera.
Hahaha! I told my husband last night that I bet that they were privately congratulating Biden or letting him know somehow. I knew theyâd never say anything while Trump is still active, and I even wonder how cowed theyâll continue to be once heâs out, unless he is too distracted by indictments.
A factor in all of this is special election considerations. The GOP is afraid if does not support Trumpâs claims and accepts a Biden win, Trump will pull his support of Purdue and Loeffler and his supporters in GA will stay home from the polls in January.
âWhat is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? "
How about weâre signaling weakness and chaos to the international community, for starters?
What stupid, spineless idiots.
MSNBC is reporting the daily brief is NOT being given to Biden. They even did this with W during the FL recount. Itâs not as if donnie does anything with them.
Why do repubs hate America? Really, Iâm serious.
Quote from Esper in Military Times, today: âAnd whoâs going to come in behind me. Is it going to be a real âyes man.â And then God help us.â
Some of these folks are people Biden worked closely with in the Senate. Iâd be truly pissed if I achieved something and my colleagues remained silent because their guy didnât achieve it.
Itâs too late for this to look like anything other than pandering though and I can imagine that this will have some impact in the next election among the rabid.
âWhat is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time?"
The downside is the entire world reads accounts of one of the two major political parties in the planetâs most powerful nation lobbing accusations of election fraud, accusing the other party of outright cheating. Goddamned idiots canât recognize the seriousness of trashing Bidenâs credibility before heâs sat down to his desk.
2015 ââWhat is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? Let him run for the nomination, itâs not like heâll get it, our voters are mature and wonât vote for a dangerous demagogue.â
2016 ââWhat is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? Itâs not like heâll really be a terrifyingly incompetent President who will inspire people to violenceâ
2020 ââWhat is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? Itâs not like that disease over in other countries could ever come here.â
ââWhat is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change,â said the official, who refused to be identified by name.â
Everyone decided the pooch was rabid. The evidence was there. The consensus was there. The vetâs said it, the police said it, the animal rescue said it. But out of compassion for the poor animal, it was allowed to run free until the end came. Let him have his time in the sun they say. No harm there. None at all.
Even the law firms representing trumPP including the one McGahn sprang from are having doubts about the ethics of going forward on orangeâs baseless claims about election fraud.
I donât know if theyâd take to the streets but a couple Trump lovinâ co-workers are worried about having their guns taken away. Amazing what people believe. And I guess what I believe seems crazy to them, but I feel like mine are usually somewhat provable.
