Then drooling begins, and voting same as it ever was.

Dear Lindsay the day after J6. But just for the day.
Golf game ahead for each of them.

(53,555 posts)4. LOL - remember Lindsey Graham after J6? "Wellllllll, it's been a good riiiiiiide, but I'm done."
Or something close to that. Then, within days, he's back in kneepads kissing ass every hour of the day and night.
So it's not going to do any good, it's going to delay, and it gives credibility to a dark chapter of our history. That's why I'm not with you, but I will fight to my death for you. You're able to object. You're not doing anything wrong. Other people have objected. I just think it's a uniquely bad idea to delay this election. Trump and I, we've had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he's been a consequential president, but today, first thing you'll see. All I can say is a count me out. Enough is enough. I've tried to be helpful, but when this Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled four to three, that they didn't violate the constitution of Wisconsin, I agree with the three, but I accept the four. If Al Gore could accept five-four he's not president, I can accept Wisconsin four to three. .... The final thing, Joe Biden. I've traveled the world with Joe. I hoped he lost. I prayed he would lose. He won. He's the legitimate President of the United States. I cannot convince people, certain groups, by my words, but I will tell you by my actions that maybe I above all others in this body need to say this. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are lawfully elected and will become the President and the Vice President of the United States on January the 20th.

....and threatening to take them under with him.

(93,730 posts)7. no, it's being used as an exit ramp
...for chickenshit republicans.
You just have to wonder what took so long, with so many of their own interests and those of their constituents threatened by their own obsequious acquiescence to Trump's smash and grab budget and the rest.

maybe both.

It depends on what constitutes done.
Willing to impeach, willing to convict?
If not, how done they are is pointless.
