      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.

      biden team still delusional bending over backwards to uphold polite norms and traditions until the very end.

      they have no idea what world they live in now.

      Cheeto doesn’t do what Cheeto doesn’t want to do. We already know this. We also know that no one has the balls to call him on it. Our slouching into fascism continues apace.

      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.

      C’mon folks, if he can’t even do this? Really? A certain segment of america really are the bootlicker class.

    11. felixthecat15 on

      I really hope whoever the next dem nominee for president isn’t going to fall back on this old school style of doing things. Trump and Maga threw that out the window long ago and dems still haven’t caught up

    12. -NyStateOfMind- on

      If I was Trump I wouldn’t sign them either. I already know I’m above the law, I already know I’m never going to face any consequences, I already know this country won’t do jack shit if I don’t sign it, so why would I?

      What are they going to do, arrest him? Yea right.

      Really gotta stop calling things “mandatory” without a mechanism for enforcement

    14. formerfawn on

      All I wish is that our “norms” had teeth.

      Don’t want to sign transition docs? Ok, you don’t get to start your transition until you do. No visits to the White House, no classified briefings. No nothing. Sign the documents.

      Don’t want your nominees to submit to FBI Background checks? Ok, then you don’t get to nominate those people.

    15. IdahoDuncan on

      Lol. Guys, you don’t get it. They don’t care. They won’t sign anything they don’t feel like and trump will still become president.

    16. Emeritus8404 on

      And whats the ramification for this?

      And if there are any ramifications, will they actually be applied?

      And if applied, will they be done in a bipartisan manner?

      Or are we still working under a double standard.

      Edit: *imagine if Obama refused to sign them.*

    17. CRKing77 on

      Spoiler: he won’t, and nothing will be done, because nothing fucking matters in this country

      seriously? “Biden won’t leave until Trump signs documents” “oh noo, that’ll make MAGA do civil war!” “ok then, he doesn’t need to sign them”

      rinse, repeat, “damn how did America fall to fascism?”

      With its dick in between its legs, that’s how

    19. mjaakkola on

      Why does he get intelligence briefing, invites to White House , improved secret service etc. if he hasn’t signed the papers? IMHO getting him signed would be the easiest issue to handle. Zero access to anything and no certification in January before the documents are signed. Let’s SCOTUS deal with that if he should allow the access without signing.

    20. bEErgrEMlin12 on

      They won’t. They already know they can get away with breaking laws, so why would they sign?

    21. Marksd9 on

      There’s nothing more fitting for this White House than spending their final days in power complaining that the incoming fascists haven’t properly completed their paperwork.

    22. Paraxom on

      yeah i highly doubt they will, heck if i was a betting man i’d bet Trump doesn’t even take the oath of office, what are they gonna do not make him president? MAGA will throw an absolute bitch fit if he’s not in the WH by the end of Jan 20th

    23. hoorahforsnakes on

      He doesn’t want a transition of power, he wants to seize it 

    24. czarofangola on

      The word transition concerns them and they think they will lose their private parts.

    25. srathnal on

      If the press starts framing this in shame… it’d go a long way. Don’t say “Trump hasn’t signed transitions docs” say “Trump is continuing with illegitimate government “

    26. pinkpenguin87 on

      Well, when there are no consequences, he will continue to do whatever tf he wants… it would be nice if someone had some balls and would actually hold him accountable for something.

    27. Ytrewq9000 on

      Trump’s team are full of incompetent idiots who keep telling Trump not to sign. Without signing, the transition team cannot access government places, computers, get briefings, etc. to bridge the gap between the current administration and next. Meaning they will be so behind on day 1 — again scrambling— when Trump starts issuing EOs without any preparation

    28. IsGoingTTaM on

      No sign, no transition, it’s that simple. Trump is also in direct violation of the 14th amendment of the constitution and everyone will fail their oath of office if he is sworn in which sadly that leaves us with JD Vance.

    29. rmac1228 on

      I thought when Obama won, we were on to a brighter future…I was okay with being wrong, but Jesus Christ…not THIS wrong.

    30. Motorbarge on

      The white house should be busy substituting top secret documents for misinformation.
