IECVCT January 6, 2021

[Benjamin Grimm]

IECVCT, in case it isn't obvious (duh!) stands for In-Electoral-College-Vote-Count Thread.

Let's see if we can have a Constitutional Crisis today!

<Beavis>Heh heh, heh heh, he said count</Beavis>

Take the last plane to Scotland
And we'll meet you at the airport

[MFS62]

With every state vote Pence calls, he will be driving a nail into the coffins of those who have shown they have no heart. Nail, by nail, by nail. McConnell, Johnson, Graham, Loeffler, Cruz, all of the election deniers, and finally, tRump.
Nail, by nail, by nail.

Is this on tv?

[whippoorwill]

Never mind found it

[Edgy MD]

I found what promised to be a live feed, and instead I'm getting the blowhard president preaching lies to the militiamen.

He's setting Pence up for a no-win situation.



He's tapdancing on a landmine.

[whippoorwill]

What a fuckhead

[kcmets]

He can't even go there now.

Eh, just poking fun. I could really care less where he goes so long as it's away.

Gotcha' Kase. And I love Ben's cartoon, too.

Well, here we go. They're adjourning to debate the validity of the electoral votes from Arizona.

Alabama and Alaska got counted with no objections. The score is currently Trump 12, Biden 0.

[MFS62]

The protestors are going to march toward the Capitol, and donnie says he'll lead them.
This puts everyone in danger and violence could disrupt the vote count.

Is he in a golf cart?

The President actually has privileges on the floor of the House and the Senate. He could conceivably walk in and start yelling.

6 objections x 2 hours of debate for each, this probably won't wrap up until the wee hours.

[Edgy MD]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell: American Hero!

[Edgy MD]

Wait, what?

[Edgy MD]

In the least surprising development ever, the president has not joined the marchers, but instead returned to The White House.

[MFS62]

He couldn't get a deferment for this, but he once again shows that he is a coward.

[Edgy MD]

Crowds are trying hard to penetrate the Capitol now.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Secret Service hustles Mike Pence out of the Senate chamber. Reports are that some of the protestors have made it into the building.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Won't they just respect the monument!

/clutches pearls

[Benjamin Grimm]

Did they use up all their tear gas on the day that Trump held up the Bible?

[Edgy MD]

Holy fucking shit. Today, the Capitol has been violently breached.

The House is supposedly back in session?!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

MSNBC now reporting that tear gas HAS been deployed inside the Capitol Building.
