She wrote them a nasty letter complaining of death threats and all sorts of nonsense, as if Joe and Kamala were responsible for that.

do that. It's very likely just another example of projection.

these bastards must pay for the damage they've done to "our house" while they were in there for the past 4 years!
Today was the eviction notice.
Next comes the repair bills and loss of deposit!

1) great people have been let go or dismissed;

2) some of the ones remaining, such as the reply recipient, have hollow heads.

I read it as being broader than the people, to the agency heads who were especially chosen to eviscerate the bodies & souls of their agencies from day 1.

The Biden-Harris transition team has spoken, firmly and loudly.

No ambiguity about this statement. It's over!

Considering how bland they are, compared to releases we have become accustomed to from DC.

And I guess that's a big part of the point of the transition and the change everyone worked so hard for. ADULTS!!! Adults are in charge again! And the express themselves the way adults do. What a concept - what a thing to look forward to!

Good God, what a day.

just like the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. She broke a Fed law and I we should not let anyone in team tRump off the hook. I called her and emailed her (no threats) and told her to do the job that WE pay her to do and stop being an unAmerican, partisan hack. Her delay caused delays in getting Covid under control as well. I wanted to call her names but was controlled....not easy on my part. She really pisses me off!!! Lawrence Tribe said she could be charged but likely won't be by the Dems. Olbermann did a good show about her today (posted in DU video forum).
