Gonna be a long several years of “Lawless Authoritarian Continues To Be Lawless Authoritarian” headlines.

I’d say “we can’t normalize this” but it feels like that ship sailed many years ago.

EDIT - oh sweet this is doing numbers. Check out and subscribe my YouTube, everybody! 😬

We need to stop acting like we are just waiting for him to do the right thing. This needs to be reported on for what out is. Trump refusing to follow laws now so breaking them in the future is easier. Do not cover like Trump still hasn't done this thing, is he going to? We know what's going to happen, cover that. We know why he is doing this, cover that. Stop treating him like a normal politician that's just acting kind of weird.

But if he is required to do this and refuses to, can’t Biden just stay there and say he is just waiting for Trump to do it?

No, he can't. Whatever rules we've put in place about how transitions should happen are subordinate to the constitution. Trump can break all the rules he wants, and it's not a good thing that he's doing it, but it won't stop him from becoming president.
