McGurk: Each Day The Transition Doesn’t Formally Start, ‘Our Country Takes On More And More Risk’
Why weren’t we making more of a issue of this!! Republicans has told us what side their on deep down inside..
When will Republican and Trump supporters get that the people they support do not care about them? At all.
@Hannah Rose well said. The insults are ridiculous. Even as a nurse, I’ve been called names on here, even had death wished upon me, simply for trying to educate people. Seriously I’ve lost faith in humanity.
@Hannah Rose Don’t serve me, I won’t serve you. FO with your fake science.
They never will. It’s a cult.
Wow what a lie. 9-11 happened because of bill clinton. That’s right, clinton was told by the military that they had osama bin laden in their cross hairs and did he want him taken out. Of course being a cowardice lib clinton said no. 5yrs later the man that should have been dead if not for clinton killed over 3,000 Americans. No transition delay had anything to do with 9-11. Again , bid laden would have been dead and thefore no 9-11 happens of clinton gives the ok. Will you libs lie about anything just to gain power? Lord!!!!
@Kid Creol Interesting made up story.
The flaw here is thinking that t’rump cares about what is best for our country in the first place.
Trump will never hand over national security secrets to a man who will never be president. The news media doesn’t certify elections. Electors do. That happens in December. Biden has not been certified the winner of this election so he is not president elect. Please deal in reality.
@john smith John Smith A loser and drowning man will search for something to take hostage and anything to grasp respectively.
Self serving self centred self destructing
Can’t wait for December more reality electoral college votes validated more reality and truth the trumpeezees and Co will not be happy
@jenny owen not one electoral college vote has been certified. That happens in December which is why joe hasn’t won anything. No president had ever been certified as president before the electoral college votes in December. Please learn. By the way. Biden will never take the oath of office. Hahahhahahahahaaahahhaaahahahahahhahhahaahaahaahahahahahaahahahahahaahaahahahaaaahahaahahahaahahaa
Does everybody still like the “failed businessman for a President” idea?! Yeah, me either. Maybe have qualified folks.
🤬
I never did like it
From his very first announcement he appealed to bigotry hate and fear, that is the real Republican platform. What he is doing now is committing acts of sedition, sabotaging the country before Biden assumes office.
@John DiGiacomo He’s being allowed to do this, too. The Democrats have sided with tRump and the Repugnant Party and are not prosecuting him. I bet he stays, either way, we’ve been abandoned by the government.
Thad Dunkin, I just finished writing my Senators stating that I expect the Biden Justice Department to file charges against Trump for the ten counts of obstruction of justice and witness tampering mentioned in the Mueller report, individual number one in the Cohen trial, and the numerous contempt of Congress charges for ignoring Congressional subpoenas. If not I vowed never to vote for a Democrat again. The fact is if they fail to prosecute, it will prove there are two standards of justice in America, one for the rich and powerful, and one for the rest of us, regardless of which party is in power. Trump has avoided responsibility for his actions all his life. This time it cost 250,000 Americans their lives, and another 11 million Americans possible permanent health issues. His greed and stupidity were fine when he was a business man losing money, but his arrogance and ego have cost others more than money. The fact that he continued the lie while feeding his ego while his supporters risked their lives. If the Biden Justice Department doesn’t prosecute, they will pave the way for another corrupt unscrupulous politician who is more competent, to end this experiment in self governance.
Does Trump believe he can make Biden look bad, by putting up a wall, instead of a bridge, and allowing a smooth transition? Trump will be gone, but the republicans won’t, and they should be the ones worried about looking bad.
Definitely.
Biden and Harris are a joke
@Ken P What a well-thought-out, intelligent comment; and so eloquently conveyed. Did you come up with it all by yourself or did your mommy helped you out a bit?
I can not believe trump it’s like he is going to try to bully his way back in office he really needs mental help and we need to pay attention to his thoughts he is trying to undermine the u s a
WHY WANT A JOB SO MUCH HE KNOWS HE FAILED AT? ….PRISON AFTER INDICTMENTS, IS WHAT!
Yes he is keeping this transfer hostage what a sore Looser but most of American saw that coming unfortunately
Yeah , the ones organizing the steal did for sure. Funny they knew the future.
I see sour grapes and reality are alien to your mind.
Or loser, even.
Would you say his supporters saw that coming? Frankly, I don’t think they see anything, let alone the damage they are doing to the whole country by continuing to support him. You have to wonder if they will ever wake up, and if the do, how much stuff is going to be basically unfixable because they helped him stall and delay. I was reading something written 50 years ago yesterday, that talks about how dictators can only walk into power if a nation is already in chaos, and the examples were Caeser or the Roman Empire, then Napoleon, then Hitler. At that point, Donald Trump, though certainly alive and doing whatever he did in place of serving in Vietnam, was not a national threat (or global). He has gotten out of hand through the segment of the population who allowed it. (To state the obvious.)
The house needs to censure Drumpf, and bring about charges for his Emoluments violations, and the Hatch act. He should be impeached again, so that he never has the ability to hold public office.
That’s a great idea!
The secret service loyalty should be to our nation not to the man in the Oval Office. If our president has gone rogue like the way Trump clearly has they should remove the threat!
Everyday more & more blood on tiny hands and he’s enablers (his supporters & the GOP)!
The situation here isn’t if Biden will take over, but how much trouble Trump can make for Biden… This is the most amazing case of political backstabbing that I have ever seen… Trump isn’t a president, he’s a spoiled school yard bully.
No, he is a russian agent.
he’s far more Evil than that.
Trump is absolutely the kind of guy Biden had to deal with as a kid over his stutter.
tRump doesn’t care about national security. January 20th can’t come soon enough!
He could be doing some good in his last few weeks, but not trump, he is just having a great big tantrum, and causing more trouble. Worst president EVER
He’s doing things as if he’s not leaving. Firing everyone.
At this point the damage been done 4 years ago. He will leave one way or another no matter what. PERIODT.
How does one defend a jerk who is endangering every single American, man, woman and child? tRump is obviously unhinged.
I don’t know! But the baffling thing is, there are intelligent people doing just that. What on earth???
@Hannah Rose …I could write a book on it…what people forget is the CON THAT WE’D ALL GET RICH VOTING FOR THIS PATHOLOGICAL LYING DRAFT DODGING CHEAT!!!
@Hannah Rose ..be safe.
THE only reason I can think of is they are just like him
@Debra Seitz I love you, but it goes way beyond that. Much more will come out and be obvious.
I hope all the Republican senators who asked “what’s the worst that could happen by not removing him from office?” Are watching this
If only.Do you ever get the feeling they don’t care? Susan Collins?
Trump has only exact 64 days to do all of the wrong things in order to destroy the country, to divide the people!😠😡
He is worse than Nixon!🤮🤮🤮
A malignant narcissist should have never come close to the WH. By definition, his decisions are not in the interest of the people nor the country. Being mentally fit is a must when carrying that level of responsibility. It is time for psychological testing for anyone running for President so this will not happen again.
Joe should pass that with flying… um … you know- the thing!
Meanwhile, Trump is trying to start a war with Iran.
I am disgusted by the Republican leaders they are cowards condoning murder all have blood on their hands. Shame Shame
Whatever happens now is not only Trump’s fault but also the Republicans and anyone humoring him.
Enabling and empowering this megalomaniac is toxic and may well prove criminal.
