Upright, Part I: “Let’s have no lectures about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election. And who insinuated this one would be illegitimate, too, if they lost again.” —Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

Upright, Part II: “Biden supporters, faced with a loss, geared up for riots. Businesses boarded up in fear. Trump supporters, faced with a loss, geared up to fight in court. This difference matters. Media elites can stop finger wagging at folks using a legitimate process to make their case, ok?” —Rep. Dan Crenshaw

The sad truth: “When Democrats say they want ‘unity,’ what they really mean is they want submission.” —Sean Davis

Exactly: “After a lifetime of hearing that voter fraud is real, it seems to me that this is the perfect opportunity to find out if that’s true — or not. Even if the margin is too big to turn around the election, it’s worth a full and deep dive to learn whether or not there is cheating.” —Ari Fleischer

Observations: “Most Americans believe — for very good reasons — that they are better off than they were four years ago under the last president, yet they’ve voted to replace the incumbent with the last guy’s veep. That can only mean Donald Trump’s nemesis wasn’t Joe Biden. It was Donald Trump.” —Andrew McCarthy

Democrat buzzkill! “Let me be clear: I will not vote to pack the courts & I will not vote to end the filibuster. The U.S. Senate is the most deliberative body in the world. It was made so that we work together in a bipartisan way. If you get rid of the filibuster, there’s no reason to have a Senate.” —Senator Joe Manchin

Braying jackass: “It’s not enough to just send Donald Trump packing, or even just to repair the damage he’s done. We’ve got to unrig and rebuild the systems that made his rise possible to begin with, and that allowed his administration to hurt so many people in so many ways.” —Senator Elizabeth Warren

Collusion delusion: “Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are just about the only major world leaders who haven’t yet congratulated Joe Biden on his victory.” —Robert Reich

Dumb and dumber: “Thank you @JoeBiden for developing a COVID-19 vaccine. @realDonaldTrump had four years to do it and couldn’t.” —Anthony Scaramucci

And last… “70 million pissed off republicans and not one city burned to the ground.” —Donald Trump Jr.
