Moving truck outside the white house - not sure if this was posted on DU Wed when I first saw it:

1. Shredders? Idk

[jeffreyi]

9. My guess also.

[GemDigger]

13. They have four years worth of shredding to get through.

They are so stupid that they may even try to put their cell phones through the shredder to get rid of their emails.

[SheltieLover]

14. Yup!

[louis-t]

2. That you, Mel?

[NurseJackie]

3. My guess: They're loading-up the silver, antiques, paintings, sculptures...

... plates, crystal, towels and linens.

[liberalla]

8. My first thought too! Art and antiques, plus anything else they can grab that's valuable

[smirkymonkey]

10. Yep, the looting has begun.

They're getting leverage. Some of those things are priceless and of great historical value.

[Ligyron]

12. Ya beat me too it!

But let's face it, there are only a few like us who could ever imagine a President of the United States capable of such thievery .

Surely no one else would ever suspect Donald J. Dump, a man almost half the country voted for twice*, of being a low down, dirty, rotten thief who'd sell his own brother down the river for mere monetary gain.

I mean, it's not like he did so right out there in the open where anyone could see. No ma'am, no way. In fact, he was so darn clever at hiding it, I'm sure few even have the slightest clue. A real stable genius, that guy.

*supposedly

[SheltieLover]

15. Of course

[Under The Radar]

4. Christmas decorations

[JI7]

19. That's what I was thinking when people were first showing it

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Melania's shoes..........

clothes to follow.......

[KY_EnviroGuy]

6. Is Joe moving in already?

OK by me......

Boot their asses out, Joe.........

[Digger]

7. Uugh

For a moment I had a vision of Timothy McVeigh.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

11. He's gotta pack all those antiques that

Jacqueline Kennedy showed off in her TV special almost 60 years ago, and sell them on eBay...

[SheltieLover]

16. Vlad call ASSet Malaria home?

[Captain Zero]

17. Loading up all the phone logs to Putin

and other dictators.

[UCmeNdc]

18. Pulling out the computers and equipment to switch the votes?

who knows?

The WH will not say!

[Progressive Jones]

20. Spent 20 years in the moving business. I doubt that is Trump's moving van.

I actually met the owner-operator who took the Clintons from Little Rock to Washington.
He was disappointed that he didn't get the move-out, but his agency wasn't handling that.

We both worked for the same major van line, and that's how I met him.
In our conversation, I jokingly asked if they moved right in through the front door of the WH. He said no. There are service entrances.

If this van is connected with Trump's move, it may have been there as a "shuttle". There could be goods
belonging to Trump being shuttled to a warehouse to be moved to a final destination later.
The other possible reason is it could be a packing crew.




Either way, the crooks are out of there.

21. I had mentioned in the earlier thread on this subject that

a 400-person shindig had been scheduled at the WH on election night for a re-election party, including watching the returns. And since they often dis "the help" in the WH, I am thinking that the truck might be hauling away some "special" rental stuff (TV monitors, sound system, maybe unique decor, liquor fountains, and whatnot) that was either not available among the furniture/decor in the WH stash or was not "acceptable" to the WH occupants for their event.

22. Didn't see your mention, and didn't think about your scenario, but I'm going to agree 100%.

I was just putting in my $0.02 based on experience.

Also, I guess I'm as excited as anyone else here about the big moving day ! LOL

[BumRushDaShow]

23. The GD threads always move quick

(I replied to you mainly because you mentioned experience with moving so wanted to piggy-back off your post with my speculation because it seemed plausible )
