I am certain that that national security apparatus will insist that Trump be cut off from any classified information the moment Biden is sworn in.

I'm surprised it's the GSA that decides who won the election. Normal countries with a modern electoral system have a separate legal body, with an appeals court that sets the rules for elections, is the only source for preliminary results, and determining whether recounts, etc. are needed... and who wins.

The US is backwards in a lot of things, including their incomprehensible electoral system.

But its been thus way for 200 years, so rushing any change this early in the game seems foolhardy.... derp, derp

She is following her bosses directions. I don't think it would stand up in court

Once I took over a unit where the previous manager was gone for two weeks. Sup insisted I take inventory of the bar. The bar. The very least of my problems. Ugh. But I did. Missing about $3,000 of booze. At wholesale price. This was in 1972 when a dollar was worth a buffalo hide or 2 bushels of corn. Sup calls up and asks for the total. I say "what booze? Ya can swing a dead cat in the storage room!" ( l luv kitties, and do not swing them when they expire.) He gasped. I gave him the numbers, and asked "can I go to work now?"

Joe & Kamala got their work cut out for them. I give them all benefits of all doubts for a very, very long ass time. Long time.

Trump removed former Intelligence heads, like Brennan, from Classified access lists early in his administration. Probably as per Putin's instructions.

I have a feeling these 'blackout' moves were not blindly followed. I also have a feeling Schiff and Biden are way more in the loop than Grenell, Nunes, and Ratzwill.

That ... I can't dare to dream. It would be too good.

The looks of calm, and yet a flash of disdain and pity she used to give Matt Schlapp on PBS ... oh!

After that shitehawkery of Iowa 'cockawssering' that punted to Mayor Pete and Klob ... we need to have a hard look at WTF is going on in the DNC.

Tom Cotton - and not one Dem to run for Senate? Really?

Other possible theory: bots don't run for free.

The ratfuckers need to pay for their Digital Army or GTFO. Q seems to have flown the coop after the (probably unrelated) resignation of Jim Watkin's son, Ron, site administrator, about a week ago.

It might be simpler to just board up the White House with the trumps and their cronies still inside, then build a new one. We might even change the name to the Varicolored House.

That would tick off the White Supremacists.

Men Conservatives Going Their Own Way. But still spend every waking moment obsessed with women libs.

Not for nothing, but unless we get both Georgia senate seats or McConnell dies of blood poisoning before Inauguration Day and Democrat Steve Beshear appoints Amy McGrath, we're still totally fucked with the Senate. None of Biden's picks who have to go through the Senate will be approved. If you live in a state where a Democrat will choose the replacement Senator in case a Republican Senator becomes incapacitated, well, have a go.

Fuck that. It’s our house, not his.
