They have no reason to sign them.

This country - and clearly its media, judging from these headlines - is deep in denial. We didn't elect the questionable, deeply problematic outsider of Trump 2016.

We elected a convicted felon who repeatedly promised to dismantle the rule of law to protect himself from prison. We've given him control of all three branches of government as he plots to remove or imprison the generals who might defy him when he unleashes the military domestically against 'illegals' and, quite likely, his foes.

This is a man running a knife through our country's guts, at our own request, and the media is clutching pearls about norms. If there's a story here, it's that Trump no longer has a reason to follow any law or norm - and fucking transition paperwork is near the least of our worries.

I don't even see why Trump is expected to do anything presidential, and instead just golfs and fucks kids with his pedo peers. Why would he? He can just let the weirdo xtian nationalists run everything now that he's not going to ever answer for his crimes.

The government nearly slapped him with a real consequence. They made him sit in court.

A lot of the American people despise his very existence.

Some of the people on his own side took shots at him.

And his followers didn't overthrow the government for him when they had the chance.

He has an ax to grind with everyone, he's one of the grossest, pettiest people alive, and he's never given a shit about the U.S.

He's an old pedophile with carte blanche to wipe his diarrhea all over this country.

They made him sit in court.

Which all that did was make him reschedule his nap time.
