McConnell acknowledges that the election led victories to GOP senators and House members. But for presidential race, he says "no states have yet certified their election results" and Pres. Trump is "100% within his rights" to weigh legal options. He makes no mention of Joe Biden

Punk ass 

Based on my convos with Rs over wknd, most everything McConnell does from here on isn't about January 20th (inauguration day & working with Biden) but January 5th (the Georgia run-off elections). To win the latter, Rs believe the base must be stoked, esp in a fast-changing state.

 

WOW -- The Trump campaign challenges the legitimacy of members of the U.S. military voting in Nevada when they've been temporarily transferred from Nevada for military work elsewhere. It accuses them of "criminal voter fraud."

Trump fires Defense Secretary Mark Esper (in a tweet)

 

In 72 days, @realDonaldTrump will be escorted out of the White House. The only reason for @POTUS to fire Secretary of Defense Esper with such a short amount of time left is because Trump is a small, vindictive, sore loser

The hostile foreign power who actively tried to help @realdonaldtrump’s re-election by sowing division responds to Biden’s election by sowing more division. @KremlinRussia_E may be bargaining his relationship with our next President and our nation can’t get worse. He’s wrong.

Teens, comedians and pranksters spam Trump’s voter fraud hotline

 

The election was not close. Biden has won the electoral college with ease, the popular vote by millions. Trump won't concede because it is politically, commercially, and psychologically useful for him, and for the Republican party, to pretend otherwise.

 

‼️The 1st man Giuliani called to the podium at the event—held between a sex shop and a crematorium—was in PRISON in the 1990s "on charges of sexual assault, lewdness and endangering the welfare of a minor for exposing himself to 2 girls ages 7 and 11."

 

Misinformed through social media, Trump supporters take to the streets to challenge election result

 

Overall, I am very encouraged by these early results of @Pfizer’s vaccine that come from a review by an INDEPENDENT panel of experts. Before I receive a #coronavirus vaccine, the data need to be published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, so I can evaluate for myself

Biden’s winning margin is going to be a lot bigger than it looked on election night. He will likely win 306 electoral college votes and nearly 82 million popular votes — the largest number ever cast for a president in our history.

 

Trump and Giuliani accidentally booking the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot between a dildo store and a crematorium for a press conference instead of the Four Seasons Hotel, is one of those things I’ll just randomly think of and laugh at for the rest of my life.

Russia has yet to congratulate President-Elect Biden. What‘s wrong, Vlad; is your cheek still sore? @RusEmbUSA
