CNN: White House contracted for deep cleaning after Trump leaves...

[brooklynite]

Biden won't move in (will stay in a hotel) until completed.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Who's doing the exorcism?

He isn't safe until the evil is chased out of there.

[Richard D]

28. I'd do it.

Really needs that kind of cleaning as well.

[alittlelark]

34. They should call in Shamans and Priests from every religion for it.

[fearnobush]

2. Gonna need a deep electronics cleaning as well. I'm sure there's plenty of Putin like listening

Devices to be removed, destroyed.

[dalton99a]

8. +1

[Happy Hoosier]

17. I'm sure the IC will properly sweep it. NT

[renate]

66. this has been my #1 thought about the way the move happens seamlessly during the inauguration

I can't imagine there aren't bugs all over the West Wing and maybe even the residence. It's going to take a while to sweep for those. I'm so glad they won't be moving in for a while.

[Maxheader]

70. Including the gop...

I say they will find no fewer than a dozen various countries hardware

within the premises..White house security couldn't keep a bunch of

rabid wingers out, they might miss other "things" too...

[LibfromtheNorth]

3. Bring back the Cone of Silence.

[2naSalit]

9. Good one! I agree.

[Marcuse]

65. Only COVID deniers will use the mobile version.

[CottonBear]

4. The WH will have to be swept for listening devices & other bugs too. NT

[AllaN01Bear]

37. the biggest listening device for them was trump.

[NYC Liberal]

60. Hence why he cannot be allowed to receive intelligence briefings after he leaves.

[RVN VET71]

67. Intelligence briefings? In prison?

Don’t think a twice impeached president would be eligible in any case, but in Trump’s case, even if he avoids prison, I doubt the courtesy would be extended to him. His only use for the information, in any case, would be to sell to the highest bidder.

[NYC Liberal]

74. Former presidents can get intelligence briefings, but it's entirely up to the current president.

So, yeah, I highly doubt Biden will allow that.

You're right -- he's up to his eyeballs in debt. He would 100% sell it. I think his passport should be revoked too.

[msfiddlestix]

51. this is my first biggest concern along with the virus. TOGETHER

Good to affirm what I had expected. Logically expected. With no less great Relief.

[Roland99]

5. It needs a deep scan for bugs and listening devices and hidden cameras

[dalton99a]

10. An absolute must.

[Mike Niendorff]

82. THIS

Remember when Trump closed the WH for extended "remodeling"?

Of course it's bugged. Heavily.


MDN

[Neema]

6. They need to smudge the place too.

I shudder to think of the bad energy filling that building now.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Gonna need a mountain of sage

[Harker]

25. You have what is most needed.

Sage advice.

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Lol

[brewens]

7. They need one big assed fumigation tent! Four years of infestation by ignorant, filthy, disease

spreading vermin.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

11. They also need to do tight background checks on anyone contracted for this work

Seriously.

[dalton99a]

13. And close supervision

[MontanaMama]

12. Gonna lmao if this gets tossed around the MSM.

Traitor45 and family want people to think they’re the upper crust of society...if people start talking about them being dirty people, literally or figuratively, it’ll send him over the top.

[central scrutinizer]

14. Call Vamonos

[Tanuki]

15. Bring in a priest for a rite of exorcism as well

[Deuce]

16. I was hoping this would happen...

[madaboutharry]

18. They probably contracted a company specializing in cleaning Crime Scenes.

There are companies specializing in this.

[SledDriver]

19. Those poor cleaning people probably

[C_U_L8R]

20. Trump should move out now to allow for fumigation

[flying_wahini]

22. I would completely creeped out living there after tRump.

Ick factor high.

[patphil]

53. I'd want to replace the toilets, mattresses and bed linen.

I don't think they could ever truly be cleaned of the Trump taint.

[LiberalFighter]

73. Get rid of the carpeting and rugs too. Anything Melania has to be bad.

[Denvermosaic]

23. Send trump the bill for removing his stench out of the White House.

[First Speaker]

24. Someone should contact Dr Strange...

...and make sure that no traces of Dormammu's influence remain...

[marble falls]

49. Dr Strange. My favorite comic book of the early and mid sixties. Then I discovered girls and pot.

[OldBaldy1701E]

55. Interesting

Discovering cannabis only made me enjoy Dr. Strange even more, except it was in the late 70s for me. I discovered something else but it was not girls I am afraid. Heh.

[marble falls]

57. Dr Strange was the only book I was still reading after HS except for Zap! Comix and all those ...

... wonderful "underground" books. Most mainstream comics were kinda right wingy to me.

I came up reading all the EC books - Crypt, Eerie etc in the fifties. I wish I still had them, they disappeared after my grandparents sold the farm.

[OldBaldy1701E]

58. I feel ya!

I could have retired by now if I had all the comics, G.I.Joe and Star Wars stuff I used to have. But, the Vortex (my mother) had to clear that stuff out after my brother got old enough and did so before I could even say anything. At least I still have my Matchbox/Hot Wheels collection. They are not in the best of shape, but there are some 'gems' in there for sure.

[marble falls]

62. Those Match box/Hot Wheels can be valuable. I have a nephew who buys and sells ...

... I can't figure the market and values at all. But he does crazy good with them.

Where's my bootbox full of baseball cards with Mantle, and Maris's ROOKIE card, mom!!!

Bob Feller, Whitey Ford, all the Indian team cards from '55 - '61 with all the player's card, where are they mom ....


I hardly ever think about those cards, dammit.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

27. Remove and replace the toilet seats. n/t

[OMGWTF]

39. Melon wouldn't move in until she got a new toilet and shower.

[yaesu]

29. can you imagine finding one of tRumps 3 foot long strands of orange hair, the ones he uses to

coil around the top of his bald head, in your soup?

[bucolic_frolic]

32. That's DNA evidence

Some lawyer might like to subpoena it.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

69. Good point!

Let investigators gather it before it gets scrubbed and decontaminated.

[sarge43]

30. Nuke Trump's bedroom from orbit. It's the only way. n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Comb for forensic evidence

No telling what you'll find, or when and where it might be useful.

[BlueInPhilly]

42. Pun intended?

Good one!

[BumRushDaShow]

76. "Comb for forensic evidence"

[bucolic_frolic]

77. Was that considered

to have a tad of racist stereotype in its day? Because the first 2 are combs in the conventional sense, and the third is what was called in the 80s an Afro-pik, don't know if that term's still used today, and the spaceman operating Comb #3 is black.

Sort of like the Hitler in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - the helicopter gyrates in circles and Hitler is a black guy with a Hitler mustache.

70s and 80s humor.

[BumRushDaShow]

78. Mel Brooks was a master of multi-racial satire and comedy

(like Gene Wilder) which was extremely rare for Hollywood. His work on "Blazing Saddles" was another example of his ability to incorporate humor across races without the negative racial stereotypes, which is often tricky to do even when done by black comedians.

The pick scene was just hilarious and Eddie Murphy's guest appearance was even funnier. The helmets all 6 of them had on were "'fro shaped" too. It helped to make his films cross-over favorites.

There is a pick sculpture on the plaza in front of Philly's Municipal Services Building (installed next to the now-removed Frank Rizzo statue).



Because the coiffed tall afro was a common hairstyle by the mid-'70s (what many of us would called the "J5 'fro" - in reference to the hair styles worn by the Jackson 5), the pick was very popular and a big seller, and was not only used for combing and shaping, but as a hair ornament, so many of them were decorative. Spaceballs came out when the hairstyles had switched to the Jheri Curl in the '80s, but people were still fondly remembering "the old days" of the "Afro sheen Blow-out kits".

[bucolic_frolic]

79. you can probably guess

I embarrassingly missed pop culture. I did see Young Frankenstein though.

Thanks for the perspective.

[BumRushDaShow]

80. I loved "Young Frankenstein"

errr.... "Fronkin-STEEN".

[Bonhomme Richard]

33. You could also bet that it is going to be...

swept, and swept again for bugs... and not the insect kind.

[ismnotwasm]

35. Thank god

The place is crawling with cooties

[theneworiginal]

36. I've had cleaner colonoscopies. NT

[AllaN01Bear]

38. dont cross the streams !!!!!.

[HAB911]

40. Best sweep for ALL kinds of bugs

including electronic types

[iscooterliberally]

41. Spray for cooties! ewww.....

[3825-87867]

43. Biden won't move in (will stay in a hotel) until completed.

Maybe it's time for a new "White House."

It would probably be quicker to build a new one than clean the Trump Stink from the old!

[OnDoutside]

44. Replace ALL the mattresses.

[TrevEB]

45. Don't forget to sweep for Russian bugs in the Oval Office.

Been there since 2017. Not that they heard anything useful.

[marble falls]

46. I think a gutting will be necessary, and a thorough de-bugging by NSA.

[cp]

47. Thank goodness

Been worried about the Bidens moving in before a thorough cleaning, de-bugging, cleansing. Bet the White House staff will be vastly relieved, too.

[kstewart33]

48. They're going to need a truckload of bleach to get the stink out. nt

[PatrickforO]

50. Fumigation, exorcism and plenty of sage smoke!

Trump and his criminal cabal are like excrement that you have to clean off of your shoes after you step in it.

[3825-87867]

52. Not to mention the aromatics of left-over KFC Buckets and stale fries

Kinda like the smell of a greasy spoon kitchen that hasn't had the deep fryer oil replaced in several days or the built-up snark all over a 50 year old grill for the last 4 years.

[RexLipton]

54. There isn't enough sage

in the world!

[Loubee]

56. They had better bring black light equipment

[llmart]

59. That's when they'll find the place crawling with bedbugs.

Just like his hotels.

[sarge43]

71. ".... look like a Jackson Pollock painting" ? n/t

[librechik]

61. fumigation followed by sage stick smudging and an exorcism.

[LymphocyteLover]

63. Biden is one smart dude

Every day, so impressed with him

[BobTheSubgenius]

64. No sane person would do otherwise.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

68. Maybe the WH will be under a fumigation tarp?

Don't forget the nooks and crannies!

[Maru Kitteh]

75. That is one hell of a Tim Burton setup if ever there were one

right there.

[Swamp Country Po Boy]

72. The Smell of Stupidity will be Hard to Get Out

To mention nothing of the Incompetence Stains!

[Totally Tunsie]

81. Let's hope they heed urban legends:

According to someone who knows someone who knows someone, a recently divorced woman had to give up her home and all its furnishings as part of her divorce settlement. She packed her personal belongings into boxes, garment bags and suitcases. Then, she sat down for a farewell meal in what had once been her happy home. She put candles on the dining room table, soft music on the CD player, and laid out a feast of shrimp, caviar and champagne.

When she had finished, she walked around her home for one last time. She went into each and every room and focused on the happy memories. And then she deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells, dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. Then she cleaned up the kitchen, put her things into a U-Haul and left.

The next day, her ex-husband and his new girlfriend moved into the home. All was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything: cleaning and mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam-cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. They moved out for a few days while exterminators set off gas canisters. They replaced the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked.

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, the local real estate agents would not return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to buy a new place.

The ex-wife called her ex-husband and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the smelly house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to buy the house, even though it obviously had some kind of a problem. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was a 10th of what the house had been worth -- but only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within the hour, his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later, the man and his new girlfriend stood smirking as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home. Including the curtain rods.

83. Hope his hotel can be well protected.
