The House and Senate, having voted in separate rooms about Pennsylvania,

then reconvened in joint session
and both officially reported that they had "rejected the objection" to Pennsylvania's electoral college votes.
Which means Pennsylvania now accepted.

 

The joint House/Senate session then went through the remaining states in alphabetical order.

Wisconsin now - objection from Representative, but no Senator objected.
Therefore the objection is disregarded, and ...

Wisconsin's electoral votes are accepted.

AND the final state Wyoming accepted!


The are now announcing the final tally of accepted Electoral College votes!


Applause!


President: Biden 306.   Trump 232.

Vice-President:  Harris 306.  Pence 232.


Pence who is the presiding officer declares the election final/certified.

And now the closing prayer.

Pence declares adjournment with a gavel.

Agreed. I'm not surprised at how quickly we are back to "normal," right down to the usual anonymous sources telling us how Concerned and Angry Trump enablers are, and the empty reminders of how we are all in this together and we are better than this (when the main difference between now and many past years of right wing extremism is we have unedited video footage), but it's still incredibly dispiriting. 

 

I don't like Chris Hayes, who exploited a mentally ill grifter to try to salvage Bernie's campaign, but underneath all the usual empty self-important blather from him and Maddow, solid points are made.

The FBI is now swooping in and taking names of many of the people identified on video today.

 

I do not think this is over or that we're done with what will happen to Trump over this. Further, he is never going to be able to run again, and his influence in the GOP (not in his followers) ends today.

Jared and Meadows both notably MIA. From what I've heard the inner circle inside is down to them, Trump's longtime driver and Miller, maybe one or two more.

 

 

 

 

You will never see the Trumps active inside legitimate GOP political infrastructure again.

    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
