“With the electoral college certification of Joe Biden’s victory, some Republicans have been forced to face their biggest fear: reality. On Tuesday, McConnell took to the Senate floor and bravely faced a fact, which is, in his words, that ‘the electoral college has spoken. So today I want to congratulate President-Elect Joe Biden.’ Similarly, the Texas senator John Cornyn told reporters: ‘There comes a time when you have to realize that despite your best efforts, you’ve been unsuccessful.’ It’s like we tell kids when they play sports. It is important to realize when you’ve lost, and then six weeks later drive back to the field so you can shake the other team’s hands and say, ‘Good game, you cheater.’” —Stephen Colbert
“Still, even with the concessions of leading Senate Republicans, some in the GOP are still struggling to mince words in a way that will appease he who shall not be named, such as the Wyoming senator John Barrasso, who called a straightforward question on whether or not Biden was president-elect a ‘gotcha’ question. Yeah, classic gotcha question,” like ‘Who’s the president?’ and ‘What’s your name?’ and ‘What year is it?’ and ‘How many fingers am I holding up?’” —Stephen Colbert
“Even Putin has acknowledged Trump’s defeat, and it’s not a great look for Senate Republicans when the guy who interfered in our election is like, ‘Come on, he won, at a certain point you guys are poisoning democracy.’” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
