in all this election bullshit. Let the courts decide the lawsuits and keep letting Rudy make an ass of himself and his ambulance chasers. Keep out of it.
On the other hand, I have to believe that his team has measures in place to do something if push comes to shove, and that they're waiting and hoping they don't have to go there.

They are idiotic enough to do it.

(24,396 posts)and continuing to act as though things are *normal* and on track for President-Elect Biden to assume the office in January is probably the best bet and doesn't lend any credence or legitimacy to Trump's efforts to discredit the outcome. Thankfully, the media and vast swaths of the country have accepted the results and moving on from Trump and recognize the legitimacy of Biden's win and are dismissing the efforts by Trump, et. al to overturn or discredit the results.

(16,616 posts)are doing a spectacular job under extraordinary and unprecedented pressures.
But I sincerely wish Biden would make a statement at least saying "We will remove any person that Trump burrows into one of our agencies, regardless of rules or protections, because he is making these changes in bad faith for the sole purpose of sabotaging an incoming administration."
I wish he would prepare the way to kick these people out, let anyone who is not paying attention understand the purpose of Trump's moves, and make it clear he won't allow them to remain in place. They are "moles" intent on destroying the Biden/Harris administration.
Just my opinion.

(12,344 posts)There are a lot of things he can and can't do about the moles. If he wants to fire them, he will have to go through a legal process. It's easier to sideline them. They keep the title, but their work goes to someone else, so they just quit. Trump did this a lot. In either case, you don't want to telegraph your moves to the people who would be affected.

They're not playing the same games as the GOP.
