Did anyone besides me stay tuned right to the end of the congressional session last night to hear VP Pence declare Biden duly elected?

Asked by Jeruba (55836points) January 7th, 2021

I listened for hours to the formula being repeated for each state and waited out the long interval of the Pennsylvania objection debate. I heard Pence announce the final (unchanged) tally and confirm the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

By then it was nearly 1:00 a.m. my time, and three hours later for the folks on the East Coast (including the ones in the Capitol building).

I wanted to hear it for myself as it happened, bearing witness in some small way to the shaken but surviving continuity of our government.

And I would like to see the 25th Amendment invoked today.

How can anyone believe that the insurrection riots of January 6th were incited by left-wing phonies when the president thanked them and said he loved them and knows how they feel? That was all his!

Did you stick around for it to play out last night?
