Cool and normal response by a normal man.

Yeah I agree with all of what McP said, and I shouldn’t have so clumsily implied I was downplaying those risks. I was mostly just trying to say that I believe that ultimately, Biden will prevail on the regular transition schedule. But yeah all this other stuff sucks, and will continue into his presidency.

You don’t exactly have your finger on the pulse of normalcy.

Oh well in that case it's very cool.

Politics has become one of those things that doesn't require any accountability. Grade school recess stuff. It's truly pathetic to watch.

This shit sucks

The rest of what he said was a standard answer. Now, there's some truth in every joke, but I think it bothers me more when some blue check on twitter cherry picks part of a quote to....scare people?

He smirks like it was funny after he says it, but it’s no kind of joke for a SoS to be telling even in the best of times. It makes a joke out of election results in order to avoid a question into whether or not the Trump administration’s stonewalling could have a disruptive impact on national security if it goes on long enough, which...no, he didn’t answer.

Which is why I said “this shit sucks,” and not “omg this is a call to war.”

Because this shit sucks.

Some other unnamed republican was quoted as saying something along the lines of trump is going to lose but what's the downside of humoring him for a little while? Fucking idiots.

Its happening
4 more years

The overwhelming majority of violence this year has not been from Patridiots. If it was something to worry about they would been boarding up Cabella's before the election.

Now this is something to worry about:

Is that what this is about? They’re replacing everyone with Nunes and Flynn-affiliated folks.

What's the point though? Doesn't Biden just come in and clean house come January?

To replace people you think won’t spend the next two months doing things you want them to do with people you know will spend the next two months doing what you want them to do.

The only other reason to bother with the change that I can think of would be if you for some reason hoped or thought that they’d get to stay on after the transition, and provide you with some lingering influence.
