Trump is exhorting throngs of loyalists—deluded by his incessant but baseless claims of voter fraud—to join in a violent coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol. (via fulcrum_us).

In the nine weeks since Election Day, the presidential election results from every state have been certified as fair and accurate—by Republican and Democratic officials alike. Biden, who won 7 million more votes than Trump from the people, carried 24 states and D.C. with 306 electoral votes. Trump carried 232 electoral votes and won 47 percent of the popular vote..

Vice President Pence presided and has been under intense pressure from Trump to break the law and seek to push the proceedings in the president’s favor. “All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN,” he tweeted Wednesday, flatly incorrectly. “Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!”

“The voters, the courts and the states have all spoken,” he said. “They’ve all spoken. If we overrule them, it would damage our republic forever.” McConnell says they are free to vote their “conscience” in the coming hours, which could be among his last as the majority leader.
