Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Congress certifies Joe Biden as next president hours after storming of Capitol

2 more weeks and an illegitimate president, installed after a stolen election, will be gone

The US Congress has certified Joe Biden as the next president of the US, hours after an insurgent mob loyal to Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in what lawmakers condemned as an attempted insurrection aimed at overturning the results of an American election.

Shaken by the extraordinary scenes of destruction and violence that struck at the heart of American democracy – and were condemned by US allies worldwide - members of the House and Senate returned to the Capitol to continue the process of validating Biden's victory, closing the session shortly before 4am local time.

A statement from Trump following the certification said there would be an "orderly transition" to a Biden administration "even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out". It was posted on Twitter by aides since the outgoing president's social media accounts are locked to prevent the spread of misinformation and incitement to violence.
