    I thought some of you might find this interesting. Several tried to stop the confirmation, but since they didn't have their objection signed by a senator, it couldn't be recognized. If this is the extent of "coordinated opposition", this is going to be a joke. Biden is really classy and shuts them all down, almost annoyed.

    An odd thing, at the very end, after he declares the join session dissolved, he comes back to the mic and says, "God save the queen". Why would he do that? Seemed off, and it doesn't appear to be any sort of tradition to it from searching.

    I'm only 2 minutes in but I LOVED how McGovern tried to be all sly acting like he had a legitimate objection and then just went FULL AHEAD NUTJOB with the Russian conspiracy theory.

    Biden had to slap down his own boy and he actually got a round of applause for it.

    You're really going to love it. He does it to several, and finally he tells one girl, "It's OVER!", to a round of applause. Haha

    Biden is a real life Leslie Nielsen.

    That was the one of the kooks from CA. Maxine Waters.

    She's the one who famously called the LA Riots a "rebellion".

    Are these adults in the room? What a sad spectacle and proof of the swamp that needs to be drained. These are representatives?

    On that subject, I'll take the idiot label and count my blessings.

    My 2 pet peeves with the leftists right now, no research on anything and the fact since women have taken over they are about feelings and not results.

    Well, what transpired?

    A bunch of people, who worked out a plan, not one of which looking up the proper way to do it, and leave screaming, no doubt going home to crown themselves a champion of politics.

    You had the courage to say what I want to say, for fear of being undemocratic: The abolition of the Democratic Party. Historically, the Whigs dissolved and the Republicans also once dissolved due to Ted the Bull. This time, it is an utter collapse of anything political. The Democratic Party is a black hole, sucking up the United States in it.

    I found myself wishing that the Gentlewomen from California and Texas would be escorted out of the joint session. Exactly how many times must one be told that there is no debate during a joint session? How many times must one be told that a Senator's signature must be on any objection? Nice attempt at derailing the proceedings, and an excellent job by the President of the Senate in keeping things moving.

    And I, too, found the "God save the queen" comment more than a little strange. What does the queen have to do with the price of tea in China? :confusion:

    The queen of England is very ill that's why. Perhaps the last act of civility and class we'll see in DC over the next 4 years.

    Ah, of course. Don't know why I couldn't put that together. Thank-you for explaining...

    I would have gladly done it, if I were President of the Senate. I'd also add my little quirky remarks that you all know so well as AmericanNationalist. "Only way to deal with children is to punish them. Once you let children off the hook, they'll think they can do anything."
