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.

    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer. 
    • I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.
    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
