Trump's grudging acknowledgement that Joe Biden will take office on January 20 was posted on Twitter by White House aide Dan Scavino, after the president's own account was locked for stirring up violence on Wednesday
* Joe Biden's Electoral College victory was certified by Mike Pence at 3.41am, ending a nearly 15-hour saga
* Trump finally promised an 'orderly transition' on January 20 but maintained his false claims of election fraud
* The president had incited his supporters to storm the Capitol, forcing a halt to the electoral vote proceedings
* Trump's violent invaders ransacked offices, waved the Confederate flag and swung from a Senate balcony
* The harrowing scenes caused anguish among America's allies and were mocked by its authoritarian rivals
* Barack Obama called it a 'moment of shame' while George W. Bush compared it to a 'banana republic'
* Congress reconvened at 8pm with some Republicans continuing their doomed bid to overturn the election result, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Missouri senator Josh Hawley
* In the Senate, objections were filed in Arizona and Pennsylvania, but both were torpedoed by majority vote
* The entire National Guard was deployed to the Capitol and police declared a 6pm curfew for DC
* President-elect Biden called for the 'mob to pull back' and said the uprising bordered on sedition
* Trump - after hours of remaining silent - told those inside the Capitol that he loves them and understands their pain but urged them 'to go home'
Donald Trump finally accepted his fate just before 4am Thursday after Vice President Mike Pence ended his desperate campaign to overturn the election - still not properly conceding and instead boasting it was the 'end of the greatest first term in history' in a tweet from an aide's cellphone.
The VP brought the gavel down on the Trump coup at 3:41 a.m. Thursday morning and certified President-elect Joe Biden's win – despite the attempt of scores of Republicans and a violent MAGA mob to overturn it.

WNU Editor: There is going to be nothing orderly in this transition. And with the US government now firmly in Democrat hands. I do not see anything orderly in the next 2 - 4 years.

THIS SUMS IT UP
Biden is an installed dictator.
Election interference mattered until the commies did it.
If this doesn’t escalate any further to the point of a resolve, I’d expect to see extremely low voter turn outs in 2024. I’m keeping a close eye on Texas.
Fred Lapides is hot to trot. Her made sure he was the 1st to post at 9:55.
He is trying to berate us until we agree with him. All he is doing is confirming out low opinion of a liberal arts prof of no ability.
Copley,
You are wrong.
More than 75 million people voted for Trump.
"When you think about it, you can understand why vanishing votes is a thing. At the end of the day, we know how many people have voted in a given precinct. For example, if it’s a small precinct with 100 people, there can be only 100 ballots.
Suppose that Trump is leading in that precinct, but that the Democrats want Biden to win. If they can control the count, they have only two choices so that they end up with only 100 ballots at the end of the day: (1) They can invent fake votes for Biden, in which case they have to delete an equal number of real votes from Trump, or (2) they can simply transfer Trump’s real votes to Biden.
And that’s why the vanishing votes matter"
The vanishing vote problem may have struck again in Georgia
"If you know a number, and know what percent it is of "X," you can figure out what "X" is by dividing the known number by the percentage. Thus, if you have 4 eggs, and you know that they’re 50% (i.e., 0.5) of the total number of eggs, you can calculate the total by dividing 4 by 0.5, which equals 8. So 4 is 50% of 8, just as 8 times 0.5 is 4.
It's the same idea with votes and percentages.
As you see in the above screengrab, Perdue had 774,723 votes, which constituted 45% of the total vote at the time:
774,723 ÷ 0.45 = 1,721,607 (rounded).
Ossoff's total votes, when divided by his 55% of the total, should produce the same number, except they don't:
945,050 ÷ 0.55 = 1,718,273 (rounded).
The difference between those two results is 3,334. Go figure!"
Georgia had even more vanishing votes than I realized
Copley, I believe that they transferred votes in the millions from Trump to Biden.

Your right, but no one will listen.
Fred Lapides is hot to trot. Her made sure he was the 1st to post at 9:55.
FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING FAMILY YOU STALKING MOTHERFUCKER
PS: IT IS HE NOT HER...HER IS YOUR SELFIE
Fred,
The [r] key is right next to the [e] key. It was fat fingers/ It is not my way to call a he as a she. The proper pronoun for an insult would have been "she" not "her". If I had wanted to insult you, the pronoun "it" would have been used.
But given liberal theolog, you should not be upset with any pronoun used.
The Spectrum Model of Sex, Gender and Sexuality
Are you a science denier? According to science/socialist theology you are somewhere on the spectrum and not 100% anything.
To be a good liberal you must use Zhe or zher and not he.
You are a good liberal are you not?
Her would be so much more appropriate for referring to Lapides.
Sad thing is the churches in America believe he was a blessing from God, man Americans are so deceived, they are about to be nuked by Russia, China and IRan from under the sea and they still think they're unstoppable, sad day when they realize they're wrong as China believes in MAO so to destroy a country will help them come back stronger if they come back at all.... if you are American it's time to leave your country before the Dragon Strikes you down
There are some here, who walk on the wild side. Real screamers. They feel pretty in pink.
