Senate Republicans are sending a clear message to President Trump: The election is over and Joe Biden won.
While Trump is digging in and showing little sign of ending his public campaign despite a long losing streak in the courts, GOP senators - from leadership on down - are signaling they view the election result as settled and want to move on without a messy weeks-long fight.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) publicly congratulated Biden during a Senate floor speech, in his first public acknowledgement of the former vice president's victory.
He subsequently urged Senate Republicans during a caucus call, which was quickly leaked to the media, not to object to the election results on Jan. 6, as Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) has said he's looking for a GOP senator to join him on his plan to contest the Electoral College count.
McConnell's remarks in the call reflected two truths: that he and other GOP Senate leaders want an end to the fight, and that they are worried that House Republicans are ready to keep it going. If a single GOP senator joins Brooks, it would ensure a vote by both chambers of Congress that would divide Republicans and publicly force them to vote against Trump, which the Senate's top Republicans seem keen to avoid.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), an adviser to McConnell, said it was the "explicit feeling" of Senate GOP leadership that it was time to accept the results of the Electoral College, which formally certified Biden's win on Monday, and move on.

What IS over is the United States of America if this massively stolen election is accepted
The people OWN this country and they will NEVER trust these scoundrels again.
How do you erase the complete failure of faith in a corrupt government?
There is NO MOVING ON from this. That is a dangerous delusion that will lead us to civil war.
NBC doesn’t mean what our founding fathers intended it to mean.
They wanted presidents free from foreign influence, at the time they were more worried about English pressure.
NBC was: born of 2 US citizens on US soil.
Now it is: nothing
Bump your post!
Hope
Yes, your outline is theoretically possible and should be followed. But unless the Trump legal team gets out there and clearly and with unequivocal evidence convinces the American People (and at least 1/2 of them do not want to hear it nor will they accept it regardless of the evidence,( ala OJ Simpson) the invertebrate Republican Senators will fold like a soft taco and vote against Trump (we are seeing the wimps already signal that!). Never underestimate the lack of fortitude by Republican legislators - and for that matter, Republican appointed judges !! I’m afraid with our current state of Republicans refusing to fight for a fair election and do whatever it takes to stop this coup we shall never see a Fair election ever again - a banana republic has been created. Stand Now Republicans, or never stand again !!
“Over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
If and when the election is over, the war will begin in earnest.
“Like anyone else could have done any better. No one has fought harder for this country than President Trump. You should be ashamed... What have you done? Stick your head in the toilet and flush it.”
Thank you! A thousand thanks!
Who knows what is real or fake news anymore.
Thank you for your great post...#48.
I fully agree with you. FR is just full of people like this, they are defeatist losers. The kind of people that in a real shooting war would run and hide, go to Canada or surrender to the enemy or shoot fellow soldiers in the back.
Well said.
Why didn’t WE DO THAT?
It really wasn’t his job to do that. It was our job to build our own cadre. His job was to run the United States Executive Branch under massive distress.
Revolution was our job, not his.
EARTH TO GOP
A stolen election is NOT an election won. This election is not over.
They need to go scan some groceries at Walmart if they are in doubt that scanners CAN work right if PROGRAMMED to work right. This was fraud.
Being a defeatist is what led us to where we are now.
Keep notes, send letters, make calls and primary every damn one of these RINO’s next time election rolls around for them.
There is a strong signal being sent out to patriotic Americans about where exactly the proverbial “hill to die on” is located.
“They’re not even talking about the need to make elections more secure in the future.”
Rand Paul mentioned that in the hearings yesterday during his rant. He didn’t, however, mention making things right THIS election. If he did, I didn’t hear it.
What election? An election is where those entitled to vote cast their votes, and the legal votes are counted transparently and honestly so everyone can agree who won, whether it is your dog club or your congresscritter.
I didn't see no stinkin' election.
No it is not over.
Preach it.
With so many allegations of irregularities, with so much suspicious activity, with so many weaknesses leaving the system wide open to irregularities - and with so much resistance to a thorough investigation - it is imperative that the fight continue, irrespective of what Mitch or anyone else says or does. The truth is important. The truth must be uncovered. Even if it makes no difference now. It could prevent a repeat and ensure that future elections are honest and fair.
Rintintin is a complete POS deserving zero respect. Ignore the troll is the best option.
