Congress certified Donald Trump’s presidential victory Friday over the objections of a handful of House Democrats, with Vice President Joe Biden pronouncing, “It is over.”
House Democrats objected to the votes from at least 10 states, raising issues of voter suppression as well as American intelligence showing that Russia tried to sway the election in favor of Trump. In each case, their objections were denied because they didn’t have the support of any senators. […]
As the votes were announced for state after state, Democratic members of the House stood up to object. But in each case, no Democratic senator would join them, and Biden cut them off.

Goodbye, Swamp.
Load of butthurt.
Now we have to wait two more weeks for Trump to be sworn in.
Jan. 20 can’t come soon enough.
Did not see this televised - but all the attention is on the Fort Lauderdale airport shooting.
Would loved to have seen that live.
Joe finally said something coherent.
Overture, curtains, lights,
This is it, the night of nights
No more rehearsing and nursing a part
We know every part by heart
Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, you’ll hit the heights
And oh what heights we’ll hit
On with the show this is it

J.K... :)
Was on c-span.org. Think you can see a repeat if you wish.
I tuned in for the final portion.
So much win.
The Democrat congress complains of voter fraud...Yet these same morons stated Shillary won the popular vote!...Stupid reigns high with these morons!!...2018 is going to fun to watch!!!
You don’t have C-SPAN?
I watched it all with Sheila Lee Jackson providing low comedy.
It was on c-span.org. They’re repeating it tonight at 8:00 (Eastern Time).
Goodbye, Swamp.

Not hardly.
There are still plenty of swamp creatures in Congress.
Unless many more districts do what mine did and Cantorize their weasels, the swamp things will obstruct Trump.
Speaker RINO being the chief of the swamp things.
The Constitution is STILL the Supreme Law of the Land.
Now, let’s dismantle the 70%-80% unconstitutional portion of the federal government and reinstate our Free Constitutional Republic once again.
I think the (un) honorable rep from Houston, Shelia Jackson Lee couldn’t let it go without inserting her big nose into the proceedings. Don’t know what’s gonna happen when black folk start seeing a change for the better in their lives under a Republican administration and I wonder if ol’ Shelia will still be standing in camera view at the first State of the Union address to, ahem, welcome President Trump when he comes in. She’s never seen a camera she didn’t like.
Is this old?
Can we all be done now?
No, today was the day Congress officially accepts/counts the electoral votes. Final formality in the election process.
No; this is the certification ceremony. I know that there have been similarly-titled headlines from December 19.
