Of course VP Pence has no mask.

61 objections over Arizona elections.

[sweetloukillbot]

1. Pence had a mask when the session started. nt

2. And, as Chuck Todd noted...

...Repukes giving a standard ovation to ignoring the will of voters.

3. Then they asked, "did a Senator sign off on it?"...Then Ted Cruz stood up and said "they did."

On behalf of Texas, apologies to America.

Also, f/ck Ted Cruz.

10. Can someone/anyone please take Ted Cruz off our hands??? nt

4. Pukes are masking guilt with numbers they think.

Trumps excuse will be everybody thought that way? They are all Putins people ordered to disrupt and protect Trump.

5. It's going to be a long day.

Such pointless grandstanding. It’s so embarrassing.

[tymorial]

8. Yes it is.

In my opinion Pence looked frustrated, tired and disappointed with the objections. Don’t like him but I can appreciate that much

12. This won't finish until well past midnight on the east coast ...

and maybe close to midnight here on the west coast.

6. They object based on having the Sec of State

makes decision of the legislature, isn't that her actual role as the SOS to run Arizona elections via the various boards throughout the state. There was no objection back in 2016, but maybe that because the previous SOS was a REpublican.

[tymorial]

7. I can't stand the man at all but to me he appeared frustrated

Look, I don't particularly care how difficult his life is after today. That being said, he is clearly in a miserable position. If Pence has any respect for the vice presidency and his oath of office (which despite his repugnant political views, I do believe he does), I can imagine his frustration and disgust at being ordered to abuse his vice presidential powers and abandon his oath of office in order to strip voters of their voice for no other reason than his boss refuses to accept reality.

I don't like the man. I think he is a regressive asshole. I do believe he is in a situation that he doesn't want to be in and never thought in a million years he would be asked by a president of the United States to destroy our democracy. That's just my take. Sympathy for the man in the office, not the man.

9. I have no sympathy for him, because I saw him lie too often during the 2016 campaign to help Trump.

But I do have respect that he told Trump directly that he could not do what he was being asked to do. He showed some backbone, even if he is legally in a box.

[tymorial]

11. Exactly

He is a lifelong republican so lying is second nature. I expect that from him. This is however is something entirely different.

[ffr]

13. Sore losers!

[TheRickles]

14. If/when they get around to competing the counting,

I suspect that support for these challenges will have mysteriously evaporated. (I hope).

15. So this was before the big riot?

These clowns are in there with their useless objections, stating that they want 4 more years of trump, and then all hell breaks loose and they have to be evacuated for their own safety since trump's thugs are taking over the building. And when this all gets back to business, are they REALLY going to sit there and fight to have 4 more years of trump??? Are they REALLY going to defend him????
