A reasonable transition requires reasonably structured and staffed executive agencies to transition into. We don't have that. And the "wrecking ball" -- as one article put it -- will continue through Jan 20. DT's inability to undo the work of decades written into the U.S. Code was accomplished by simply destroying the agencies tasked with implementing and enforcing.
There can be no "reasonable transition" to an executive branch that is riddled with rats and poison ivy (where agencies haven't been gutted).
The new Biden administration faces the biggest challenge any administration has faced. They need to engage in ruthless pest and weed control if they want to rebuild executive agencies capable of writing regulations that effectively enforce the U.S. Code.
There is a rough ride ahead for our next President. There can be no "bipartisanship" with the cronies, sycophants, and idiots that now populate executive agencies. I hope President Elect Biden recognizes the urgent need for a 'purge' and is preparing to carry it out when he assumes office.

(53 posts)what books I've read from former officials haven't they pretty uniformly stated that Trump White House is an absolute mess.
Maybe Trump administration just also too incapable and/or too embarrassed of their "organization" and are terrified of revealing it so everyone there is also delaying however they can?
Not an excuse of course for their delays of course or to Trump's pipe dreams of his imaginary election victory.
