*SLAM* - Biden Team: We're Moving On With Or Without T****



Biden communications director Kate Bedingfield and transition senior adviser Jen Psaki on Wednesday denied that the President-elect needs President T****’s help now that General Services Administration chief Emily Murphy has green lit Biden’s formal transition.
-snip-

“We believe we’ve been getting the information that our teams need.”
-snip-

“Certainly should [Impeached] President T**** want to speak with President-elect Biden, then that’s something we would work out in the future,” Bedingfield said. “But in terms of whether it is mission critical to being able to move the transition forward efficiently, no.”

- TPM


Basically, toddler T**** can offer us nothing of value that would be helpful in taking this nation forward.

Adults know how and what they need.

Trump and RepubliCONs are purely stalling to do as much damage as possible on the way out ie SCORCHED EARTH

They are all way way beyond sore losers. We have curtailed their Corporate Fascist Tyranny, at least for the time being and believe me the are pissed and will do everything and anything to destroy dems and any resistance to their grand scheme that they have nearly pulled off. The Dems need to be aware of this and on guard all the time, or we will be in the same mess all over again.......

He's so incurious in general, pays not that much attention to the nitty gritty of the job - except mostly how he can make money, or inflict misery on others - that he wouldn't be able to share much of use to Joe & Kamala.

Or he might lie to them as well to thwart them! 😠

It may not be mission-critical, but it matters to most of us here: "Where is the formal portrait of President Barack Obama, which the petty, vindictive, envious, SORE Loser refused to hang on the wall at the people's White House?"

And when the time comes to hang the Loser's portrait at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I have a suggestion... but -- this being a day of feasting and good spirits -- I'm not going to mention it here.

that Biden doesn't? Biden worked closely with one of the great presidents of the past 150 years, and Trump? He loved the trappings of being president, but never wanted the responsibilities. He will go down in history as one of the worst, if not the worst, presidents in history.

No, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can do just wonderfully without any input from Trump or Pence.

Oh, they think that just because won the election, they're in charge now? They're not willing to wait for Trump to come around in his own good time? How disrespectful is that! I know they've been slumbering peacefully for the last four years, but I certainly hope the civility cops and the decorum police can get out and jump all over the incoming Biden administration. You know, let them know that the days of the Trump Rules are over.

The only useful thing I can think of is to sincerely instruct staff to be helpful to the incoming administration. Oh, yeah. A second thing - stay the F out of the way.

If I could only have one of those, I would take Door #2.

the Biden/Harris team keeps in mind the Golden Showers incident described in the Steele Dossier where Trump's vindictive revenge against Obama had Trump hiring prostitutes to piss on the bed that Barack and Michelle had supposedly slept in. I wouldn't put it past Trump to try to leave Covid in the White House to infect the incoming administration. In fact I believe he already tried that with the first debate.
Not a joke. Sterilize the entire White House after this moron is finally gone.

No compromise, no half measures, no stopping until Joe is safely installed in the Oval Office. If trump has to be bound and gagged, then carried out of the White House, so be it. I'd love to see it happen.
