Congress certifies Donald Trump's election win four years after he inspired a riot

www.nbcnews.com Congress gathers to certify Trump's win on the anniversary of the riot he inspired

No members objected to the 2024 election count after Congress raised the threshold to do so in the wake of the 2021 Capitol attack. “There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle,” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said last week.

So much for the 14th amendment

Funny how little fuss there was. Almost like both sides aren't equally bad.

fuck this country
- Oh, I'm fairly certain we are all fucked. Don't you worry about that.

Insurrection
An act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government
Donald Trump attempted to get his supporters to overturn the election results.
It was not a fucking riot, NBC, you spineless fucks.

There has never been a more spineless despicable Congress
- They don’t really get a choice. The only thing they get to do is say yes the votes counted up the way or no they didn’t. It isn’t like Congress gets to just decide
  Meh fuck it we won’t certify. Even if they did. Then it goes to the courts (regardless of who the justices are or who put them there, the courts will order Congress to certify the election)
- VP doesn't have that power. Republicans were hoping Pence would do it anyway and then battle would go to courts and conservative SCROTUS would agree.
  Until 2021 that date had no special meaning and it was just mostly ceremonial.
- You want what Trump did?
  
  Why not? The Supreme Court has made it clear that there are no consequences.

They spell 'coup attempt' funny.

Great now prison him for life

We knew this was gonna be the case. This is bullshit no one should read.

You can "fight like hell". Apparently, that's not wrong...
