How about people that don't want any hassle from Trump and his cohorts?

Did you ever think that they might be trying to save their party from splitting up? Looking at the longer term, waiting until Trump is out before voicing any negative stuff about him?

First off, it's not negative to say that they believe the election was fair. They can even kiss his arse and say how utterly wonderful he's been, what a legacy he leaves, and who really cares about 250K deaths - they are what they are.

Putting party ahead of country by this degree is not nothing to admire. If they really care about their party, and weren't consumed by just being in power, then they should welcome a split and let the lunatics create their own party.

So, you're suggesting they are putting Party before country?
Is that supposed to be a positive thing?

It's like not badmouthing the guy who is abusive to his wife until they actually get a divorce in case you doing so will cause discomfort.

How is not giving an opinion a big deal?

It's saying nothing, not getting involved. I'm sure you've done it yourself in a work or family situation.
It's very minor stuff. If they outright said that Biden was not the President elect then we'd have a problem, refusing to answer is not a big deal.
Of course that twitter link suggests they all said he wasn't. That's what you get on Twitter.

Because these people are specifically given a job to represent in the best interests of the people who elected them to participate in the governing of the country.

Nobody wants their country to be governed poorly, these people turning a blind eye while that was happening as an abdication of their responsibilities.

It's not so minor given the importance of the office and the need to have faith in the democratic system. Anything to undermine that will chip away at the integrity of the process which could ultimately lead to bad things.

Jebus Eagle, I thought you were all about giving it straight and not making stuff up!

They were asked if they considered President-elect Biden to be President-Elect and the vast majority either said no or declined to answer.

That is either straight out denying the outcome of the election or they are so cowered with concern for themselves or their party they are willing to ignore reality.

Neither is a good look.

Not only are they giving up their country for their party, they're giving up their party for one (failed) man

This isn't a 'work or family situation' lol it's the transfer of presidential power for the country, and they are Congress.

Party politics before country. Cowards every last one of them. Funny thing is they claim to be all about the constitution. Ya.....

If Trump didn't break it I think it'll survive a bunch of no comments.

Ironic that he's calling others RINOs when he's just an opportunist who previously supported the Clintons. I can't see him hanging around politics in any way once he's out of the White House, not when he doesn't have any power outside rabble-rousing.

He'll have a heart attack on the golf course long before a 2024 run.

I'll try to put this in language you might understand. Are the Kansas City Chiefs the current Super Bowl champions? Your options are ; yes, no or no comment. Only one of those answers is the truth.

Now substitute the KC Chiefs for Biden and substitute Super Bowl champions for President Elect.

Just popped into that vid for a second and some pundit is after saying that election systems have been hacked for years.

So going by that logic trumps win in 2016 was rigged?

The sheer amount of people not wearing masks is insane. 4k deaths a day is nailed on for January.

Who is the lunatic I have to worry about in a powerful position that could destroy the Patriots if he doesn't like my answer?

No. I don't share his opinion at all because his opinion is mental, but his thing was that the 2016 election was also rigged against him. It's just that he managed to overcome this by sheer turnout, but the rigging that cost him the popular vote. It was something he came back to on the 2020 campaign, making a kind of jokey remark that he would seek a 3rd term since they tried to rig the first election against him.

So the investigation he ordered into losing the popular vote in 2016 and closed in a huff because they couldn't find any evidence of fraud was rigged too?

That's a lot of frigging rigging.

From the clan rally...

We'll be going to the supreme court very soon

As has been stated here ad infinitum, it's not a voluntary choice to go the supreme court. You can't just decide it.

We got the most votes than anyone else in presidential history and we lost

Math is clearly not his strongsuit.

It's gas. He says it, that must make it true.
