For about 6 months now. I will let Biden whisper sweet nothings and tack to the center to appear bipartisan to satisfy the talking heads, but as soon as the Turtle goes obstructionist (I am assuming that we don't win both GA Senator seats) I want Biden to appoint the people he really wants as "acting" cabinet members, and then do that he can legally do with regards to to executive orders.

And he should have people from the cabinet rotating through all the major news/shows blaming the Turtle and the Republicans for all the things that they are blocking. The 2022 election cycle starts Jan 20th.

If any of you think you can talk sense to a Cult45, you're diluting yourself. Even ones I thought were reasonable republicans are now the ones taking point on the crazy.

They should be denied US citizenship until they can pass a standard high school civics exam.
I'll bet at least 95% can't do it.

Why do we have to do all the bending over backwards? Are any of them willing to quit being racists? Are any of them going to quit imposing their religious beliefs on others? Are any of them willing to support common sense gun reform?

outstandingly. Yes, there are more coming, but they're after the fact. The time to steal elections is before the whole world knows democracy prevailed and they lost.

This is yet another good day because it underlines the victory of the positive, rational, loyal majority over the darkness of hate.

Republicans accept Biden victory after Electoral College vote

Republicans in Congress acknowledged that Joe Biden would be the next US president after he secured the required 270 Electoral College votes on Monday, in a decisive break with Donald Trump’s refusal to concede defeat.

Several high-profile Republican senators, including Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, John Cornyn of Texas, Rob Portman of Ohio, and Chuck Grassley of Iowa, acknowledged for the first time that Mr. Biden was president-elect after electors met to cast their ballots in 50 state capitals and the District of Columbia.

never forget these are Domestic enemies. They did not hide it either. I want justice to be done to all those who were accomplices with this EVIL regime.

McConnell, Miller, Bannon, Cruz, Graham and many others... let's not never forget what they did, or continue to do.

Trump led them down a path of fantasy and lies that will be the party hallmark for years.
Not a conspiracy theory too thin or a lie too brazen to say out loud on Fox News.

The real bad news is that they aren't done using that platform. Not even close.
