Elections Electoral voting today

I understand that, but depending on how long it is delayed, it could affect the overall timeline, couldn't it?

Can Biden be inaugurated regardless of whether Congress certifies the election or not?

It would have to go on for several days at least, I believe. And fortunately someone thought to grab the actual electoral votes from the Senate before it was overrun.

Funny when you have kids (Which I do, young ones) you start worrying about different things. One thing I was bothered by was all the looting, rioting and mayhem the left was causing over the summer. I don't want my kids raised in a crazy world like this. Now Trump supporters are going fucking crazy and causing mayhem?? Jesus, I don't care what party it is, I will never support this. I only pray that this shit will calm down on both sides. Our kids have a right to be raised in a normal world. (Well, here in the US that is)

Not sure how offen this happens, but not only as a fellow fatherfather of young kids, but also as someone who believes in democracy, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Democracy is a way of peacefully settling political differences via a vote. Inbetween we can try to influence, but non-violence is the key here.

If nothing else, this MUST be common ground.

I also hope this is a lesson for some, though. Trump did incite and rally people - and some don't have a natural 'till here and no further' built in. Words matter.

Right?
I think Pandora's box has been opened though.

Its time to seriously consider splitting the USA into 2 countries. Millions of people on both sides literally hate each other like this is a crusade in a religious war.

I’ve been firmly on the Balkanization train for awhile now but it would be really hard to sort out and almost certainly bloody. It would be one thing to take red states and blue states and make separate countries but the major divide is urban vs rural. It’s pretty much impossible to disentangle the whole mess.

Thanks.

Because you know, I think a complete sweep is in order to ensure no meeting rooms etc. were bugged and so on.*

Yeah that security breach was an abomination. That whole building is compromised imo.
 
This must be a hard day for @cottagecheesefan as they stormed too early, no proper sound bites from the coup attempters in the Senate.
 
Just saw the video of the woman being shot. NBC just reported that she has died.
 
If only they mass produced these masks we would have contained Covid 19. Our politicians held out on the technology.

The simpler approach would be to limit the scope of federal government. Cut it back down to the basics. They handle the military, foreign trade agreements, currency, and environmental standards. Then people could get back to focusing on their local and state politics.
 
I just witnessed an attempted coup happen in the US. What a time to be alive.
 
Radio says woman who was shot in neck died. It appears she was a rioter that was shot by law enforcement.
