Insurrection
Donald Trump attempted to get his supporters to overturn the election results.
It was not a fucking riot, NBC, you spineless fucks.
There has never been a more spineless despicable Congress
They don’t really get a choice. The only thing they get to do is say yes the votes counted up the way or no they didn’t. It isn’t like Congress gets to just decide
Meh fuck it we won’t certify. Even if they did. Then it goes to the courts (regardless of who the justices are or who put them there, the courts will order Congress to certify the election)

Until 2021 that date had no special meaning and it was just mostly ceremonial.
You want what Trump did?
Why not? The Supreme Court has made it clear that there are no consequences.
