[madaboutharry]

These are things that belong to the American people. What the hell?

[Wicked Blue]

1. Criminals, all of them nt

[mysteryowl]

60. SACK Cartoon - is spot on!

?auto=compress&crop=faces&dpr=1&w=1025&fit=clip&h=364

[oasis]

80. +1

[steventh]

85. Brilliant cartoon of grifters ransacking the White House on the way out

Sack nailed it

[exboyfil]

2. Every item is documented

An inventory needs to be done at move in.

[Wellstone ruled]

20. Yes everything is on a Inventory sheet some where.

[live love laugh]

99. Don't be surprised if the inventory sheets are gone too. nt

[Wellstone ruled]

100. Supposed to be Staff that take care of all

antiquities as well as the National Archives.

[Nevilledog]

23. Lincoln's bust out the door

Link to tweet

[exboyfil]

25. Biden needs a closing walk through

with ample video evidence. He should get his hands on the Inventory list and have his designee start asking where all this stuff is. Make a real show of it.

[certainot]

84. they shouldn't go inside without a full multiple top to bottom cleanup and sweep

[jmowreader]

91. He needs to call the Army first

The US Army issues a very good chemical warfare protective ensemble consisting of a "MOPP suit" (imagine a foam-lined windbreaker, except the foam is twice as thick as usual and impregnated with activated charcoal), booties, gloves and a protective mask. Give one to everyone in Biden's administration, then give them M8 chemical alarms, a FLIR biological warfare alarm, geiger counters, shovels, pressure washers, digital cameras and, of course, a complete inventory of what's SUPPOSED to be in the building so we know what to go after Trump's minions for.

[progressoid]

39. Acosta is careful to say "leaving the west wing" rather than stolen.

Unfortunately we have no evidence that this is being stolen.

[ornotna]

67. Looks like one of those cheep plaster busts

of Shakespeare.

[usaf-vet]

71. Cheap according to who? So if it's cheap it's alright to procure it? What is the cut off point?

Remember how much hell was raised about missing keyboard caps?

[ornotna]

77. Calm down

I was merely commenting on what it looked like to me by that photo.

[usaf-vet]

79. I'm calm but we all know that rules and standards are ignore by members of the leaving admin.

They believe it all belongs to them. And we know they will lie about it if not caught red-handed.

Have a nice day.

[ornotna]

89. Thanks!

You too.

[usaf-vet]

92. You're welcome.!!!

[usaf-vet]

93. You're welcome.!!!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

86. You have nothing. You don't even know if the guy owns it free & clear & bought in store w cash

You
Don't
Know
The
Facts.

Calm down.

[usaf-vet]

97. UPDATE: White House doesn't know what happened to Lincoln bust. The lies begin.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214928174

[Bernardo de La Paz]

98. Thanks for the update. . . . nt

[Olafjoy]

3. Just showed staffers walking out with a bust of Lincoln!!

[HUAJIAO]

38. And the Marine? holding the door for them. WTF?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. Marine there to guard against antifa/blm, donchaknow?. In defense of the Marine ...

... It is NOT the Marine's job to determine which items are personally owned versus brought in previously versus government property.

[Totally Tunsie]

49. True dat.

[HUAJIAO]

57. Looks pretty gosh darn obvious to me what's happening...

[BobTheSubgenius]

70. This.

Way too much to put on a single Marine.

[senseandsensibility]

4. I was just going to post about this!

Wow.

[still_one]

5. Names need to be taken, and those items retrieved

[Nevilledog]

26. And prosecution

Link to tweet

[still_one]

69. Yes

[Olafjoy]

6. Navarro caught stealing a framed photo of him and dump

[tirebiter]

17. Any momentos of Trump will have to be put in an asterisk room.

[PatSeg]

33. Well in all fairness,

he is probably the only person on the planet who would want it. He was probably doing the White House a favor.

[texasfiddler]

7. When the looting starts the shooting starts!

Oh that doesn't apply to them.

[BadgerMom]

50. Underrated response!

[dv421]

73. Beat me to it.

[SheltieLover]

8. Of course they are. The boss has been raping the country for 4+ years

Will they be prosecuted & given max prison sentences?

If not, the system is enabling, which serves to empower them to commit more crimes!

[dhill926]

9. Gee, sounds like something the Nazis would have done...

[Nevilledog]

10. This aren't souvenirs, they're stolen property

[Johnny2X2X]

11. They will take anything not nailed down

Hope we have a good inventory.

[cwydro]

56. Nothing will happen to them.

I’d bet on it.

[lame54]

12. Why would you want a token of these last 4 years?

[Mike 03]

13. The same kind of trashy people that steal linens and clocks from hotel rooms.

These are real lowlifes masquerading as upper class folks.

[patricia92243]

22. Bingo!!

[DENVERPOPS]

72. Not only "hotel rooms"

Even the art and other stuff in the public areas of high priced hotels has to be put up with theft proof screws......

[lagomorph777]

14. I'm more worried about what they are leaving behind.

Transmitters, IEDs, feces, COVID...

[Cha]

15. Filthy Thieves in the trump WH? Shocking

[Olafjoy]

16. If Melanie is seen walking out of the WH with the portrait of Washington...

She ain’t doing no Dolley Madison!! Someone stop that grifter bi*#h!!!

[Irish_Dem]

18. Everything in the world rightfully belongs to them.

That is their mindset.

[Walleye]

19. Remember when the Clintons took so much shit over personal gifts that they took with them

[Olafjoy]

21. You know dump is stealing the silver tchotchkes he took from the US Ambassador to France's residence

They were last seen on the mantlepiece in the Oval Office. They are statues of the Greek gods.

[ResistantAmerican17]

24. Krist these people are lowlifes.... thieves and grifters all.

[Vivienne235729]

27. and these are the same people bitching about looters at a TJ Maxx.

[Captain Zero]

87. Don't forget. They thought attendees @Jan6 rally looked

Low Class.

[Fiendish Thingy]

28. There is presidential swag that is given away- that's what this better be

Golf balls, coins, pens, other Knick knacks with the presidential seal are commonly given away by all presidents.

As long as that is what this is, no problem.

[CanonRay]

29. Good. We'll get to prosecute more of them.

[gibraltar72]

30. That is called looting.

I suppose they are taking all Ds off keyboards also.

[Lasher]

66. Hah!

Some folks won't get it.

[niyad]

83. And we know that story was a lie.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

31. If they ONLY removed reminders of Trump, I'm fine!

Older stuff like a bust of Lincoln?!

[PatSeg]

36. I agree

Mostly we want them GONE. Take anything Trump related, no one else wants it anyway.

[bullwinkle428]

32. DU has literally been joking about/predicting this very occurrence for

weeks and months!

[Traildogbob]

34. STOP the STEAL!!!!

[ffr]

37. Right!

They're going to need a pat-down on their way out the door.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. This alone is proof of how they always "project"

and are guilty of what they accuse others of doing!

[TygrBright]

35. They can take those tacky gold draperies with my good will. n/t

[GrassClippings]

40. I'm not a big fan of the gold draperies but...

Let’s be honest... Obama’s red ones were awful.

[Totally Tunsie]

53. I know of someone who can make good use of them:

[SweetieD]

42. They are literally looting the white house!!!

[FelineOverlord]

44. Jim Acosta CNN: White House staffers taking mementos and souvenirs from the White House.

Perhaps this is the reason?

Link to tweet

[LiberalLovinLug]

48. So Trump picked Lincoln's bust. The one President that Trump feels is ALMOST equal to him

[usaf-vet]

81. It will show up on eBay before we know it. Authentic Lincoln Bust from Oval Office $10,000.

[niyad]

82. Come on. Items from museums and collectors would be carefully packed and marked.

[lunatica]

45. I hope there are cameras throughout the halls of the White House.

It seems likely in any public place like everywhere there are tours and in all the hallways. It just makes sense.

[SunSeeker]

46. SO predictable. I'm sure there's an inventory. Anything missing should be reported as a theft.

Anyone caught stealing from the White House should get another "memento": handcuffs.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

51. PROTECT THE RESOLUTE DESK!!!

They're all crooks, and the desk would be a major prize. Not only would Trump get something that other people value, he'd be giving a big "f*ck you" to Biden.

[Totally Tunsie]

55. Wouldn't be surprised if tRump carved his initials

into it as proof he was there.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

52. He can have his busts of Putin, Boris Johnson, the Saudi prince, Stormy, Hitler.....

Murdoch and Republican Jesus.


KY...........

[gldstwmn]

54. I'm sure there's an inventory.

[Kid Berwyn]

58. Remington's "The Cowboy" can fetch $50,000.

Or pay for Ivanka’s Secret Service detail’s urinal for almost two years.

[mysteryowl]

59. SACK Cartoon is spot on!

?auto=compress&crop=faces&dpr=1&w=1025&fit=clip&h=364

[bringthePaine]

61. looting is a crime; the entire administration should be charged under RICO

[Ford_Prefect]

62. An administration staff of the "best people". Hmm, that would mean with the lightest fingers?

[SergeStorms]

63. So, a little more than...

taking the "w" off a few keyboards as a joke then. Republicans got so bent out of shape about that during the Clinton/Bush transition.

[safeinOhio]

64. Will be looking on eBay and craigslist

for new items.

[mjvpi]

65. At the risk of being a hypocrite, they can take any likeness of Trump. I'm down with that.

[JDC]

68. They are trash. Always have been, always will be.

[sarcasmo]

74. No doubt in my mind this would happen, they will steal anything of value.

[C Moon]

75. Republican thieves. That's all they are good for: stealing and cheating.

Low life scum.
At least when a poor person steals, it's often for survival. These bastards do it because they are cheap low-lifes.

[CTyankee]

88. As my late mother would say "they'd steal the dimes off your dead grandmother's eyes."

[Nitram]

76. Evidence?

[DeanMH]

78. They all do that

That’s nothing new. Every admin staff does it.

[ancianita]

90. Looters. Convict them.

[lpbk2713]

94. They will be a lot easier to identify than the insurrectionists.

They are stealing from the American people. And if they say the property
was a gift from Trump he had no right to give it away.

[BainsBane]

95. an administration of criminals

They don't care if they steal from the American people; they've been doing it for four years.

[csziggy]

96. And I thought those dozens of empty boxes were just for Melania's makeup!

Last year about this time, we packed up everything in two rooms of our house, plus everything in the attic to prepare for our addition. We had more than 150 cubic feet of boxes of books (U-Haul sells "book boxes" that are one cubic foot each), plus dozens of other boxes from U-Haul small to large). We did not have as many boxes as were shown in the photo of boxes being delivered to the White House.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/moving-day-approaching-trump-white-house-n1254170

Looking at that photo, those look like the U-Haul small or medium boxes.
