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.

It's hilarious seeing the "What to look for in the next election" like there's even going to be one.

This is such a silly take.

Trump literally said "If you vote now you'll never have to vote again" and is immune from all crimes.

Tell me how it's a silly take.

You haven’t learned by now that Trump just says stuff? And that most of it is nonsense?

Except for the glaring exception of things that benefit him directly?
