If Republican Senators still think it's too risky to acknowledge that Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States, how can we assume they'd ever have the courage to protect us against enemies, foreign or domestic? For that matter, why oh why are they US Senators?

1. Bingo!

[BComplex]

2. Republicans are only US Senators because of the money they can make for themselves and

the donors who put them there. There is not one patriot among them.

[Biophilic]

3. Here! Here! Exactly

Yes, we know why they are US senators. I used to believe that all US Senators were basically supportive of our nation and the government. So I was wrong, or at least, I now know that I'm wrong now.

4. They are only there to make money.

5. They ain't U.S. Senators - they're YOU ASS senators.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Good point...nt

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Really good point. They probably wouldn't stand up to anyone Drumpf likes. That is where we may be

[Different Drummer]

8. An excellent question! n/t

9. This man looks so much like historian Michael Beschloss!

10. On point!

[birdographer]

11. I for one

have never assumed courage in a republican. It's like assuming morality in a snake.

12. Repug senators are cowards and criminals. Lock 'em up.

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. A sobering point.

How indeed? Same way as they've pulled off every craven, venal move they've made for the last 40 years.

15. I just got an email

from my senator, John Kennedy, stating "In the recent presidential election, voting irregularities were reported in various states. These allegations should concern every American. To preserve the integrity of America’s democracy, all legal votes must be counted. No more, no less. Every effort must be made to investigate these claims swiftly. Our democracy can only be strengthened when we insist elections be free, fair, and transparent."

and he used to be a democrat, until it became more advantageous for him to become a republican.

16. Good points all. It really does make one wonder about the backbone of these senators and / or

house representatives (all republicans of course). What cowards...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Why? To support the 1%. How? Voter suppression, propaganda, dirty tricks, .... . . . nt

[crickets]

18. Excellent question. nt
