Default It's good to know that there's still some adult leadership in the country

Senator Lisa Murkowski - a Republican who charts a more independent
course and has acknowledged Biden’s victory - late on Sunday said it
was time to start the full transition process. She denounced efforts
by some Trump supporters to overturn election results in some states
as “not only unprecedented but inconsistent with our democratic
process.”

Calls for Trump to accept defeat have been stronger outside
Washington, even from some of his staunchest supporters, including
former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who called Trump’s behavior
“a national embarrassment” in an interview on ABC.

And more than 100 former Republican national security officials
published a letter on Monday asking that party leaders denounce
Trump’s refusal to concede, calling it a dangerous assault on
democracy and national security.

So why are you posting that here?


===

Mostly to point out (and celebrate) that there is still some sanity in
the Republican party. It's a small but important step in the right
direction. Do you agree?


I agree that I can read the news!

It is seeming like you've decided to emulate Harry - cutting and pasting the
news.

You missed this:

WILMINGTON, Del./DETROIT (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Joe Biden on Monday
was formally given the go-ahead by a federal agency to begin his transition to
the presidency, shortly after the battleground state of Michigan certified him
as the winner there.

With the rapid-fire developments, President Donald Trump’s already languishing
efforts to overturn his Nov. 3 defeat appeared to be coming to a close.

The U.S. General Services Administration, an independent agency, informed Biden
that his transition - leading up to a Jan. 20 swearing-in - could officially
begin.

In a tweet, Trump wrote that GSA Administrator Emily Murphy and her team should
“do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my
team to do the same.”
