Checked Georgia this morning? Changes overnight. https://www.wsj.com/election-results-2020?mod=summary-banner

Looking more and more like teh new prez might get control of the senate eh?

Biden's legislative agenda, nominees, judicial appointments all green light.

I can’t believe that authorities weren’t prepared for this. Shits getting ugly

I like the footage of the Trump "protestors" (can we just call them insurgents or traitors yet?) after storming the Capitol building. Just kind of walking around the hall of statues with phones out wondering what to do next.

Trump won the presidency in 2016 and then proceeded to lose the House, presidency, and Senate.

The 60 vote Senate rule is a barrier to Biden doing any big ticket items.  The Republicans won't let him succeed at anything, like they did with Obama.

Yeah, remember during John Lewis' eulogy Obama spoke about eliminating the fillibuster. We'll see I suppose.

Boy, the look of stupidity on those rioters faces as Capitol Building security explains to them the real consequences of acting out on their pretend injustices.

It will be interesting to see how many republicans continue to support this bullshit. It looks like the dems have balance of power in the senate.

The Republicans likely lost the Senate last night.  This morning Trump holds a protest rally blocks from the  Capitol during the election acceptance buy Congress.

So where the heck was the security?  It's not like this wasn't a possibility that no one considered.

I smell conspiracy!

The woman who got shot inside the capital building died this afternoon. I can’t believe anyone would lay down their life for the orange guy.
