The Political Insider ^ | 12.15.20 | JACK HADFIELD

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has seen enough – after the Electoral College met across the country, the top Senator congratulated Joe Biden as President-elect.

President Trump has not conceded the election, and insists he will still prevail.

“I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden,” McConnell said on the Senate floor on Tuesday.

Mitch is just an old man who is trying to preserve his home and family. He knows he’s not suited to take the next steps that are required. Mitch is a man of words, and the time for words is past.

But they’ll pass it off as a repudiation of Trump. I’m so disgusted by all our politicians.

We disenfranchised defrauded voters who refuse to accept being manipulated and scorned must be messing up Mitch’s plans for the holidays and New Years

10/22 CCP VP Wang Qishan, was secretly discussing “trade deals” with Elain Chao, US Secretary of Labor at Japan Emperor Ceremony. It is “special agent way of talk”.

Give the Biden delegates the same treatment Whitmer gave to the GOP Trump delegates in Michigan, that is bring in the Capitol Police to physically block the Biden delegates from even entering the Us Senate.

What delegates? The Electors met in their respective states and sent their votes to the National Archives.

The whole party can kiss my backside as I drop my registration to ‘ independent’

Not that anything matters anymore since we now know ‘ the system” is an illusion created to make pre selected figures look like they were legitimately elected

But, isn’t that wrong? Doesn’t the final authority rest with Pence alone? Not the entire Senate voting?

No, Pence only counts the votes that are delivered to him from the National Archive, which were sent there by the certified electors. Any objection has to come in writing and be signed by a congressman and a senator. Then the chambers go off and debate the objection for two hours. Only if they both agree that the objection is valid are the votes tossed out. If they disagree, then the votes that are certified by the state are counted.

IF we keep the Senate - then Mitch made a deal with the devil. Get rid of Trump and we let you keep the Senate.

Yup. Fake conflict between Dems and GOPe, who are really the same team. “Oh look, they ‘saved’ the Senate”. F’ that. They’re both selling us out to China.

Don’t know why anyone would be surprised by this. This is how McConnell has acted the entire time he has been Majority Leader. The only real thing he has done is get judges through. Other than that, he has been spineless and never kept Repub senators in line. Calling his “leader” is a joke.

MO BROOKS ALABAMA REPUBLICAN:
“I can either sit back and surrender and be a part of the surrender caucus, or I can fight for our country. And that’s what I’m going to do. So on January 6, I’m going to object to the submissions of Electoral College votes from various states that, in my judgment, have such flawed election systems that their vote counts are unworthy of our ratification in the United States Congress. What I need is a United States Senator who will join me. If we have a House member and a senator, then by golly, that forces a House vote and a floor vote on whether to accept this systematically flawed election system or to reject it. I want to reject it so that we can have an honest and fair and accurate election.”

Solzhenitsyn could make that famous quote, but I don’t believe it was their fault as he did. Knowing “when” to fight is not always given to us. The fault lies in wicked rulers such as they dealt with.

Solzhenitsyn was speaking from hindsight.

"If not us, who? If not now, when?" ― John F. Kennedy

"He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight." ― Sun Tzu

I’ll call Ron Johnson, R, WI. It won’t be my first call to him and it won’t be my last, but all in all, he’s one of The Good Guys, and he likes President Trump.

And he has too much money that he’s EARNED HIMSELF to be corrupted by DC. I hope. ;)
