McConnell: Transfer of presidential power won't be delayed

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged on Tuesday that the presidential transition would be orderly, despite concerns that the General Services Administration is delaying the process.

During a news conference, a reporter asked McConnell (R-Ky.) why the GSA had yet to launch the official transition process. The majority leader responded that legal disputes over the election would be settled in court first, but he promised that “all of this will happen right on time and we’ll swear in the next administration on Jan. 20.”

“We’re going to have an orderly transfer from this administration to the next one,” McConnell said. “What we all say about it is, frankly, irrelevant.”

The comment follows a decision by Emily Murphy, the head of the GSA and an appointee of President Donald Trump, to decline to certify Joe Biden as the official winner of the election, despite multiple news outlets calling the race for him. The delay is blocking the president-elect’s team from coordinating with federal agencies in preparation for his transfer of power.

2. "What we all say about it is, frankly, irrelevant." - first truth to pass his lips

[mtnsnake]

3. He's a fucking bullshitter. He didn't even mention Biden's name

so he's leaving the door open that the next administration he could be talking about could be Trump's as well as anyone's.

7. My thoughts exactly nt

4. What you say, buster turtle, is irrelevant,

we KNOW the transfer will be orderly, but what turtle and the tramp administration does until that time is NOT orderly.

5. The question wasn't about January 20, Moscow Mitch ...

6. Just like people with pre-existing conditions will be protected

Republicans don't even lie anymore. They just gaslight.

9. Moscow's Bitch McConnell has begun obstructing. He will ramp it up.

10. Beg to differ.

McConnell can claim all he wants there will be an orderly transfer of power "when it's over."

Doesn't it depend when Trump & Co. acknowledge it's over or someone files a Writ of Mandamus to make Emily Murphy do her job? When they stop saying "It's over when I say it's over"?

11. McTurtle will let Biden be inaugurated on time

He just wants to make sure that the normal transition process is so hampered than rather than hitting the ground running, he wants Biden's transition hobbling on two amputated knees.

But Joe Biden knows Moscow Mitch from having served with him in the Senate. Joe knows better than most what a snake Mitchie is. I'm sure he has been telling his people what to expect and to plan accordingly.
