Summary
Donald Trump’s transition team has been barred from accessing federal agencies due to delays in signing standard ethics and transparency agreements, leaving Cabinet nominees without access to classified or non-public data.
This standoff hampers preparation for national security, workforce, and budget issues as the administration readies for the January 20 inauguration.
Concerns include safeguarding against threats like conflicts abroad and domestic crises, such as avian flu.
The delays also risk derailing nominee confirmations, with scrutiny over FBI background checks and controversies involving key picks like Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz.
Unfortunately, I feel like trump might simply close a lot of these agencies and replace with his own corrupt ones
It’s one of the things dictators do
And his fan base will love that he’s doing something and blame it on Biden
And the party of law and order is pissed that Biden actually follows the law?
Anyone who still thinks Republicans are the party of Law and Order hasn’t been paying attention.
I never said they were.
Good. Democrats need to start playing hardball to combat the GOP’s anti-democratic antics.
Maybe letting this guy think the rules somehow don’t apply to him wasn’t such a good idea after all.
“Trump learned his lesson.”
— Susan CollinsI mean, they didn’t let him think, they told him outright the rules didn’t apply to him
Ethics agreement his administration put into place if I’m not mistaken. An ethics agreement that was legally required to be signed and posted publicly on their campaign website by Oct 1st.
If he didn’t follow or challenge the rules he put into place it should go to the runner up. It won’t but it should
He doesn’t give a shit - all he’s going to do with those agencies is to gut/destroy/exploit them for personal gain. He doesn’t need any playbook, he’s been destroying things his whole life.
