Senior Republicans recognised Joe Biden as the president-elect of the United States on Tuesday as President Donald Trump continued to deny the outcome of the election.

In a significant break with the president, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell congratulated Mr Biden and vice-president-elect Kamala Harris on their victory, a day after the electoral college confirmed the election result.

“As of this morning our country has officially a president-elect and a vice-president-elect,” Mr McConnell said on the Senate floor. “Many of us hoped that the presidential election would yield a different result, but our system of government has processes to determine who will be sworn in on January 20th. The electoral college has spoken. Today I want to congratulate president-elect Joe Biden.”

Mr McConnell also congratulated Ms Harris, a colleague in the Senate. “Beyond our differences, Americans can take pride that our nation has a female vice president-elect for the very first time,” he said.

It’s a sad but true commentary.

The post Trump GOPee will NOT be resurrected as any kind of a force.

I like toast... especially cinnamon/raisin English Muffins.

My dog does too, except I don’t give her any raisins...

The GOPe will not get another vote from me. I am done voting for them because of the lesser of two weasels strategy.

The people are the last defense against tyranny, not politicians who clearly don’t give a damn.

It won’t make any difference, Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio and the rest of the Bush League Republicans are going to give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens.

Mitch will be happy to be Chuck’s b*tch when the Senate is lost.The GOP likes their portfolio,pretending to be some great party and feel better with minority status. I used to care about the Senate and Supreme Court and if this is how they will be,the left can have both. Neither defines America We the People do.

If the Republicans abandon Trump they will absolutely own everything Biden will do in his presidency.

“The post Trump GOPee will NOT be resurrected as any kind of a force.”

They have zero respect from their constituents and their opponents. They’re like sex dolls for Democrats.

Mitch and company, the House, the SCOTUS, they all want to
see the Left in full control.

We did our best. They sided with those who stole the
election.


The GOP has always been fine being in the minority while Democrats do the heavy lifting installing a European style state. They figure they can regain power later manage those pots of gold later.

Also, the farther left the Dems go the farther left the GOPe goes. The GOP just want to be one inch to the right of the Dems on the political spectrum.

If I lived in “Joja” I would still crawl over broken glass to vote against the disgusting radical-Marxist Democrat pukes. It would matter to my conscience if nothing else.

And who would you be voting for? Certainly not the coup and election steal enabling GOP. China Mitch shows us once again today that the steal is fully bipartisan in operation.

...........80 million Americans voted for Trump including 1,326,000 Kentuckians, the highest number of votes for a Republican in history, and this goofy, embarrassing old man stabs them all in the back by supporting Biden at this exceedingly tenuous moment. Not only that, he apparently will seek to support the Democrats in the big fight coming up on January 6.

I don’t get what makes this sob tick!

Some people call him Cocaine Mitch. I think there is something about some ship that his family had an interest in that was smuggling cocaine. I’m sure the Deep State has dirt on every one of these politicians. Not that they have any principles anyway, but a little persuasion helps them in making the “right” moves.

“ the big fight coming up on January 6”

There is no fight coming up on January 6 or any other day.
