I see Mitch congratulated Joe on his win and recognizes him as president elect, the plan was to hold out until the "official" elector count on Jan 6th. Putin congratulated Joe yesterday though and kinda pulled the rug out from under Moscow Mitch, so he has to go along too, orders from Vlad perhaps? Yep Vlad recognized Joe before the republicans in the house and senate, how fucking humiliating is that? Having Vlad and Mitch stab him in the back on the same day must be a shock for Donald, especially after Joe kicked him in the nuts last night on national TV!
I see Joe was cheerfully mentioning his call to Mitch and the fact they can get together earlier rather than later and had a nice friendly chat, is driving Donald nuts! Will he try to destroy Mitch for breaking ranks? If he doesn't do something he will lose most of them by the inauguration and those who show up for his dog and pony show will be bigger targets than ever before, they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If anything can get Donald causing trouble in Georgia that was it, Donald must enforce discipline and make examples, he rules by fear alone and it is his only tool.
Joe is starting to play Donald like a fish, he is advised by experts who have a complete psychological profile of Donald and who know what buttons to push for what effect. Vlad's call was timed well I must say, it forced Moscow Mitch right off the fence like it was made of barbed wire. I wonder how Donald will react, not well I suspect and I'm sure today is another day of mindless rage in the WH and increasing panic.

Biden says "good conversation" with McConnell
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden said on Tuesday (December 15) he had spoken with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and the two of them agreed to get together soon.
"While we disagree on a lot of things, there are things we can work together on," Biden told reporters before heading to Georgia to campaign for Democratic Senate candidates.
McConnell, a Republican, on Tuesday congratulated Democratic President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on their Nov. 3 election victories, ending his long silence on the outcome of the presidential race.
In remarks on the Senate floor, McConnell acknowledged the Democrats' win of the White House following Monday's formal result issued by the Electoral College.
Before departing, Biden also reiterated that he would get the COVID-19 vaccine publicly when the time is right.
He said the nation's top expert on infectious disease, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said he should get the vaccine "sooner rather than later" but added that, " I want to just make sure we do it by the numbers when we do it." Currently, the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine is being rolled out primarily to frontline healthcare workers.
