117th United States Congress: Insurrection 2021

[Cail]

Pelosi re-elected as speaker.

Still awaiting 2 Georgia run-offs.

Shitty OP is shitty

[Cail]

Former House speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) excoriated congressional efforts to challenge Biden’s win, warning that perpetuating the notion of an illegitimate result strikes “at the foundation of our republic.”

In a statement Sunday, Ryan said it was difficult to “to conceive of a more anti-democratic and anti-conservative act than a federal intervention to overturn the results of state-certified elections and disenfranchise millions of Americans. The fact that this effort will fail does not mean it will not do significant damage to American democracy.”

Ryan, who has largely steered clear of the political fray since retiring at the end of his term in January 2019, said the Trump campaign has had many opportunities in the courts to challenge the election results and those cases have failed to produce evidence of voter fraud.

Ryan also highlighted that the Justice Department found nothing to warrant overturning the election results.

“If states wish to reform their processes for future elections, that is their prerogative. But Joe Biden’s victory is entirely legitimate,” Ryan said.

That's too simple. In a cocksock, cowboy boots and sunglasses.

Fuck all these seditious traitors.

The polling is absurdly good for warnock and Ossof right now, even fucking Trafalgar has them ahead.

So, inevitably, they're gonna lose by 10 points.

Polls are all garbage. What are the Vegas odds telling us? Follow the money, that's the real shit

Just like back in November?

7pm - Biden huge favorite

1am - Trump huge favorite

5am - Biden huge favorite.


(Warnock is -150, Perdue is -137)

[Athas]

I believe that was the joke.

Low-key upset no one even tried to put up a fight against Pelosi after she said she would be a transitional speaker last time around. Super low key upset...

So they are both going to lose by about 3? That’s how this works right?

[Salodin]

It wasn't unanimous no, but when I compare the speaker vote this time to 2 years ago it's night and day. Members were very vocal about their desire for new leadership, to the point that Nancy has to plain address it, followed by vowing to be transitional. This time I haven't heard a peep until the vote was done. Gdi...

That's my guess. I assume polling in this age of Trump is basically off by the full margin of error in favor of the GOP, which means R's win both races!

Chuck Grassley has released a statement that he will be presiding over the electoral college certification and they do not expect Pence to be there.

Most likely yeah.

Rs will win about +3 and then pollsters will have to scramble to explain how once a gain this is "understandable and should not damage your belief in polling integrity"

[Tymon]

What's actually going to be funny is the scenario where Ds win both seats and Chuck Schumer suddenly becomes a deeply moderate centrist Democrat who doesn't want to pass anything either
