One day after the Electoral College affirmed Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential victory, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., said in an interview that he acknowledged Biden as the president-elect and believed the election was legitimate.

At the same time, Johnson plans to hold a Senate hearing Wednesday on election “irregularities,” saying there are “legitimate questions” about the way the election was administrated in Wisconsin and other states.

“All I’m trying to do is hold a very upfront, straightforward hearing talking about what controls there are in place, what fraud does occur, what can we do to prevent fraud in the future,” said Johnson in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

...

But asked if he regarded the election as "legitimate," he said, "Yes. I haven’t seen anything that would convince me that the results — the overall national result — would be overturned."

7. Soon to be fired

Oh boy. The Toddler-in-Chief won't be happy about this. I expect him to tweet off a firing memo in 3-2-1 and then a follow up tweet, "why can't I fire a Senator?"

9. Maybe....

There is a long list of competitors for that title.
The behavior of the R's since, oh, I don't know, maybe 1990? 1992? has convinced me that politics is the patronage system for the Wealthy and CONservative idiot spawn.
