Warren: Trump transition ‘already breaking the law’
Warren: Trump transition ‘already breaking the law’
Summary
Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team of violating the Presidential Transition Act by failing to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement, a law Warren helped author.
Her comments follow a CNN report suggesting that Trump’s team has withheld necessary transition agreements from the Biden administration due to conflict-of-interest concerns.
Rep. Jamie Raskin also criticized Trump’s refusal to engage in standard transition protocols, warning it could disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Trump’s actions break a precedent set by presidential candidates since 2010.
Then fucking DO something about it. Every breath the man takes, he's breaking a new law, but nobody ever does anything about it. They just keep letting him get away with every fucking thing he does, and it's emotionally exhausting hearing about Trump's Crime Of The Day every single day and never seeing any consequences.
The Dems are really losing my support lately. The inability with the party to take any sort of meaningful action has given Trump the presidency twice now, and is driving me fucking insane. Put the cunt behind bars already.
This is how it was last time it is going to get worse. The crimes will become so constant to the point where you just tune out. We are now in an abusive relationship we can’t get out of.
Because most of the people in power actually want Trump to push things too far. That way when he leaves, they can push things almost that far and look like a good guy. Remember, the Democratic party is conservative centrist, not leftist. There are very few left centrists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in office and no one is truly very far left at all. But compared to Trump, they appear to be extremely leftist.
Buckle up! It's going to be article after article after article of "Trump violated XYZ law!"
Hope you're happy Merrick Garland, you proved that Trump is above the law. At least history will say you weren't partisan, because your image is the only thing that matters in life right? Not that Fox or any right wing propagandist will agree. You're still a Democrat appointed witch hunter to them.
I think we might actually need to implement some sort of grading system for his infractions lest we get desensitized to the steady stream
Edit: I suddenly realize I'm not ready for even hearing "testing legal precedent" for the next 4 years let alone all the other shit going on
Bless your heart, Elizabeth. You think you still have a say in Trump's America. You're both a Democrat and a woman.
Did we learn nothing from the last Trump presidency? Precedent means nothing if it’s not a law. Dems fucked everybody over by playing a gentleman’s game with a scumbag.
In this case it is a law. A law that Warren co-authored.
Transitioning to a lawbreaker.
That is fine they own the government now they will just ignore the law or change it.
He is above the law.
I prefer Marked for Death
We should not point out a single infraction until that broken law is enough to actually spark a national uproar for impeachment. Otherwise we boil the public frog.
Man, the Rpeublicans are gonna have to use the impeachment process to control Trump. Too bad they won't.
