Well, this has sure been a day.
We started off with good news - Raphael Warnock had beaten Kelly Loeffler in one of Georgia's runoff elections, and Jon Ossoff had a steadily growing lead over David Perdue. Sure, a 50-50 split in the Senate, but VP Harris is there to break ties. Today looked good - Congress had the ceremonial duty of counting and certifying the electoral college votes and declaring Biden the next President of these United States.
But Trump and his redcaps weren't having it. Several thousand of them in DC, wearing their hats and waving their stupid fucking flags. As Congress was starting their count, a bunch of these fuckers stormed the Capitol, breaking through the police lines (and maybe allowed to do so) and eventually breaking into Congressional offices and the chambers themselves. A siege of the Capitol building. A straight-up insurrection. Looting and vandalism. And as of right now, none of these terrorists are in custody.
After evacuating and sheltering, Congress has reconvened and continued the vote count. Some Republican chucklefucks are keeping up their bullshit challenges, and that's just delaying the inevitable, and fuck 'em.
