Trump was certified as winning the White House race with 304 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton’s 227. Mike Pence was certified as the next vice president

That picture always reminds me of Nancy Pelosi, what with the prominent overbite and all. Sort of a mix of the two disgusting hags.

Biden may not be the sharpest knife in the draw, but he has enough political sense to know when to fight and when not to. Trying to draw this out would have made the democrats look worse then they all ready are.

Democrats screwed themselves stupid in being unwilling to accept the election result.


And it is putting off a lot of independents.

If you believe the reported rumours H started flinging things around the midnight hour so that is another moment when it was over. Cue Wilson Pickett :)

I couldn't count how many times, after Obama was elected, and Republicans were complaining about something he was doing, that I heard Democrats use the phrase - "elections have repercussions".

Well guess what Dems - elections have repercussions!!!

I think I might get a bumper sticker!

Election night was something I am glad I made it to 80 to experience

What an emotional roller coaster

Didn’t get to bed till 1:30 EST
Past my bedtime
By then living in PA I saw Trump had the state
So I did not wait for the official call

I NEVER get tired of going on YOU TUBE and watching reruns of all the gurus saying he has no chance of even being nominated

And .. I saw several people being escorted out of the Chamber.

I’m guessing they were just there to cause a disturbance. And, the DemocRATS are famous for inviting people into the chamber who do not really have the right to be there.

Their favorite was to invite the protest groups .. disgusting people, have no regard for the rule of law.
