As much fun as this is it's time for it to be over. Last Sunday the newspukes on 'This Week' and what ever the other one is spent an hour talking about how misunderstood they are and how they are going to use their professionalism to overcome the bad-will and ignorance of the unwashed.
Today is just more, just the old song and dance, Here comes another one just like the other one. They will continue to tell us that the polls show that we are wrong and Trump has no favorable votes, anywhere, any topic. It doesn't bother me but it grows tedious.

just turned on C-SPAN
The first votes were read for Alabama.
A POS DEM objected due to Russian interference in the election.
Because the objection did not have a senator as cosignee, Biden said it could not be considered.

another objection when Florida's votes were announced. Biden gaveled down.
What a disgrace.
A third objection. Denied because no senator signed.
note: not sure if this is real time or a recording.
2 more objections. no senator signatures.
Sheila Lee gaveled down at least 3 times so far.
another objection based on the "intel" committees. gaveled down
Sheila Lee again gaveled down. The objectors keep bringing up the Russians.

You understand that what goes on C-SPAN is the Greatest Show on Earth, staged and scripted for the most part.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Isn't it odd that the objectors could not get a single Senator to sign a single objection?

Two black demonstrators yelling objections are escorted out.
this does appear to be a recording of events earlier today.
Ryan appears to congratulate Biden on chairing the session. Biden did not entertain any BS.
Congress certified Donald Trump's presidential victory Friday over the objections of a handful of House Democrats, with Vice President Joe Biden pronouncing, "It is over."
House Democrats objected to the votes from at least 10 states, raising issues of voter suppression as well as American intelligence showing that Russia tried to sway the election in favor of Trump. In each case, their objections were denied because they didn't have the support of any senators.
Trump finished with 304 electoral votes and Democrat Hillary Clinton got 227
As the votes were announced for state after state, Democratic members of the House stood up to object. But in each case, no Democratic senator would join them , and Biden cut them off.
"There can be no debate," Biden said repeatedly.
Under federal law, if at least one senator and one House member object to the vote from any state, the House and Senate will meet separately to debate the merits of the objection.
Toward the end of the count, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., pleaded for a senator to join her in objecting.
"Is there one United States senator who will join me in this letter of objection?" Waters said to boos from Republicans. None did.
Several protesters were ejected from the public gallery as the vote count concluded.
