I just called that Emily W Murphy lady who won't sign the transition paperwork.

Whoever answered the phone was very cool. When I told her who I really wanted to speak with I thought I'd hear "clunk" as my phone was hung up but that didn't happen. The person said Emily is getting tons of messages (implied they were nastygrams) but that Emily definately would be getting mine too. I even left my phone number in case Elily would like to discuss being a traitor and a tRump kiss ass. My message was that "she is unAmerican and she isn't performing her job as required by the govt and should therefore step down if she does not fulfill her duties in a timey manner".

I wanted to say terrible things laced with lots of profanity but chose to take the high road since the person who answered the phone was so cool and told me Emily is getting the many messages like mine and she would love nothing more than delivering another batch to her. I have the feeling that Emily Murphy isn't having a good time with her tRump pals these days.

Unethical? Yes. Politicized? Yes. Illegal, No.

Simple question: Who is the President-Elect? And on the basis of what process?

Has the Electoral College voted? No. Have States with a combined total of 270 EVs certified that Biden won? No. All you have is the projections of news outlets.

The reason this wasn't an issue four years ago is that Clinton conceded the day after the Election. Trump hasn't done that. Until he does or the vote count becomes official, there's no legal requirement to initiate the transition process.

Like maybe cranking out resumes.
She should see what’s available at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping Company, since she’s become very adept with fertilizers.
Or maybe the the crematorium next door.
But I wouldn’t recommend the adjacent Fantasy Island “adult” store. (That’s due to my own lack of knowledge about their product line and clientele).
Or maybe the Cowardly Lyin’ Loser plans to keep a spot open for her at his new media venture. OK, probably not.
Have a nice life, Emily.

And everyone that sticks their neck out for him will get burned by him. tRUMP manipulates others around him the break the laws for him, so that he can sit back and play stupid. Although maybe he really is stupid and doesn't even exactly know how to go about violating laws he wants to ignore. tRUMP is just like the criminal or troublemaker and his MO is to get others tainted, just to increase the pressure on them to go all in for him and break a lot more laws or rules. That good old 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch your back' gimmick to suck you in under his control that a lot of people fall for every time, unless you are smart enough to keep everything legitimate.

I didn't use profanity or threaten her but I definitely got the impression that she won't be receiving warm Holiday Greetings or a Happy New Year from her coworkers or the general public either. She needs to be fired ASAP! And without any job references (which she desperately craves). She is a non-person, unAmerican traitor who will be known for being a sniveling loser and asshole during these difficult times. The country hates her as much as she hates us.

Just doing their job, and trying to be professional, which I appreciated and told them so. They have been directed to tell callers to go to a gsa transition site. Both the ones I talked to seemed happy enough to pass my comments along. I think it's good to keep the phone and email pressure up. I think in-person demonstrations are not good. And no way at gsaEmily's house, wherever that might be. Too many ways for that to get manipulated into a very negative thing, and the jackasses would love to make the situation play into their hands. In fact, if any people start doing this, their identity needs ascertaining, suspect "dirty tricks" roger stone style.

If you'd let loose with a torrent of profanity, you'd have been dismissed as a hothead and a crank.

May I ask you to post the number here in case others may want to call? I just might do so myself.

Edit: Just saw the number in the thread above. For others who may be looking, it is: (844) 472-4111.

I was just wondering how to attack the unqualified judges that were confirmed.

Can their ruling be challenged because they were deemed by the ABA as unqualified? Trump will try to embed people. How can we get rid of them? (Keep Trump's attack on professional Civil Service in place till we root them out?) I'm a retired government worker and we hated the political types they tried to stick in.

As a veteran of Customer Service, I always appreciate when people remember the person who answers the phone is not specifically the target of your ire. Yelling at *them* will get you nowhere, but they are your ally to document what you want to say to the higher up.
