Transition will uncover embarrasing and illegal information.

[Midnightwalk]

I just realized that it might not just be petty spite.

How long is it before Biden's team finds out there is absolutely no plan to deal with Covid, including prep work to aid vaccine distribution? Days at best.

How long will it take Biden's team to find out there are plans and activities that are illegal?

Petty spite is probably still the main reason, but things will begin to come out as Biden's team gets up to speed.

1. I think you're right.

I can't believe it didn't occur to me, but of course you're right. There's no plan. (No plan that serves the public, that is. Plenty of plans that line pockets.) It's so obvious now that you've pointed it out.

3. There's really no other explanation for Republican's behavior.

They are desperate to stay out of jail.

4. I've been thinking these things for over a week now...

And I expect that in time we will proven correct.

5. Trump needs the time to shake down his deluded donors and do favors

for despotic regimes that helped or might help his personal piggy bank.

[mopinko]

6. fersher. lots to shred.

[unblock]

7. They will find quite a lot of ash in the fireplace.

And a whole lot of completely empty filing cabinets and degaussed hard drives.

[Yonnie3]

11. and staff will be forgetful

"I do not recall" will be the primary mantra with "I have no recollection" being the secondary.

[unblock]

18. They'll have plenty of stories from the career bureaucrats

But little hard evidence I suspect

[Yonnie3]

21. Yeah

I think the hard evidence is being disappeared.

By staff in my post, I meant the appointees.

[unblock]

22. Yeah, Donnie's political appointees won't even return their phone calls.

[WA-03 Democrat]

8. It will all come out

You cannot trust Treason Weasels
He'll pardon everyone and and himself let's go through the dance.
We are Reckoners

[0rganism]

9. maybe let's call it "spite plus"

spite sure, but with a whole lot of other reasons backing it up

[Blue Owl]

10. Little Donny did a bad, bad thing

[DonaldsRump]

12. Without a doubt

They are using this time to destroy evidence and cover up.

The thing is, though, that Richard Nixon and his henchmen did the same thing regarding Watergate after Nixon's massive victory over George McGovern in November 1972. They weren't able to contain it.

And Nixon's henchmen were infinitely smarter than those of Trump's. One thing about Republicans: when they commit crimes, they are massive, but they are too stupid to cover it up, probably because the crime is so massive and involves so many people.

13. I think Donnie is plotting...

I think Donnie is plotting a very bad thing, so the rest may be an aside. He literally has nothing to lose and doesn't care about the impact of the outcome.

14. I suggested this awhile back

Show your work Donald. You useless fat fuck.

[BannonsLiver]

15. Yes. The question is what can be done about it afterwards, if anything.

[leftieNanner]

16. There will be lots of that

Plus the sheer incompetence in virtually every department. He placed unqualified idiots at the head, neglected to even nominate anyone for hundreds of other positions.

They have been worse than useless.

[genxlib]

17. Actually...

I think planning for the vaccine distribution may be the one thing that they got right. They put army logistics people in charge and got out of the way. I think that was a good move because no body knows how to get big shit done like the army logistics people.

60 Minutes actually just did a story about this a week ago. Worth a look and might make you feel better about that one particular item. You are probably right about every other thing they put their hands on though.

[Midnightwalk]

20. Thanks. Good read

You are right about the army having the logistic knowledge and capability to handle the distribution. I hope they control ordering the vaccine so it's competent, fair and efficient with no middle men.

[JI7]

19. Only plans for Vaccine was how Trump could Profit from it

Same goes for anything else.
