After a long month of state vote certifications and President Donald Trump's rhetorical and legal assaults on the integrity of the 2020 election, it finally came to an end. This past Monday, the Electoral College convened to cast their votes for President and Vice President of the United States.

Now, there is no way around it for the Republican Party that has largely refused to acknowledge President Trump's loss. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the President and Vice President elect.


After this clear and decisive moment, more Republican leaders finally began to congratulate the President-elect on his victory, including Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

On the floor of the Senate, McConnell stated:

"I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden."

He went on:

"Many of us had hoped the presidential election would yield a different result."
"But our system of government has the processes to determine who will be sworn in on Jan. 20."
"The Electoral College has spoken."

Needless to say, many in the MAGAverse were unhappy Senator McConnell acknowledged Biden as the President-elect.

After the Republican Party hitched their wagon to Trump—and fanned his baseless conspiracy theories and other assorted lies—now they are reaping what they sowed: an intra-party Civil War of sorts with Republican against Republican.

On one side are the party faithful who put the GOP before any one man. On the other side are the MAGA minions whose allegiance is to Trump above all else.

Not only is this affecting Mitch McConnell, but it is placing his Senate majority at risk.

How serious this problem is for the GOP remains to be seen. But the Georgia runoffs on January 5 will be the first test.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
