Most everyone hascan advantage over you in that your cutting and pasting from leftist tabloids leaves you at a disadvantage.

When will open your next TDS addled thread where you you launch into less than entertaining conspiracy theories?

I'll make a deal with you. Factually refute anything I post and I'll stop posting for a month.

Trump ignores transition rules. It’s a ‘hostile takeover,’ ally says.​

Since his victory, Trump has ignored many of the rules and practices intended to guide a seamless transfer of power and handover of the oversight of 2.2 million federal employees. Instead, the president-elect, who has pledged to fire thousands of civil servants and slash billions of dollars in spending, has so far almost fully cut out the government agencies his predecessors have relied on to take charge of the federal government.

Trump has yet to collaborate with the General Services Administration, which is tasked with the complex work of handing over control of hundreds of agencies, because he has not turned in required pledges to follow ethics rules. His transition teams have yet to set foot inside a single federal office.

In calls with foreign heads of state, Trump has cut out the State Department, its secure lines and its official interpreters.

As his team considers hundreds of potential appointees for key jobs, he’s so far declined to let the Federal Bureau of Investigation check for potential red flags and security threats to guard against espionage — instead relying on private campaign lawyers for some appointees and doing no vetting at all for others. Trump’s transition team is considering moving on his first day in office to give those appointees blanket security clearances, according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private conversations.

trumples would be melting down if a Dem did this. As he demanded with cabinet nominees not being vetted by the Senate, he wants all members of his admin to escape any review by handing them security clearances.

For those of you who dismissed what some of us had warned about, namely, trump's inclination to run the government like an autocrat, it's happening. Hate to say it, but we told you so.

Required pledges?

Lol

Once President Trump cleans up the corrupt FBI

It's not corrupt so there's one less thing on the to do list.

A Biden EO? Executive Order on Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel | The White House

Lol.

3 USC 301 doesn’t require any such thing.

Neither does 5 USC 3301.

Neither does 5 USC 7301.

Also, just for shits and giggles, let’s consider that what one President directive via an EO may be dismissed by a subsequent President’s EO.

What is your exact ask? The fact The US made the agreement with the NATO members to not allow NATO on the Russia border? or that Trump is honoring that?

Where do you get the idea that such an agreement ever existed?

NATO would have had to agree to it.

Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia joined in 20-4. Poland and Hungary came in 1999.

If you’re geographically challenged, ALL of the border Russia (except Lithuania which border the Russian client state Belorus. And Poland which borders the country Russia invaded)

So, there’s no pledge to honor.

When the Russians attacked Ukraine, Sweden, Turkey and Romania signed up.

Poland and Romania border Ukraine. But since it is Putin’s declared objective to destroy independent Ukraine and conquer it, the only pledge Trump actually seems likely to honor is the one he made to Putin.

It is obviously corrupted.

Your denial means exactly nothing.

The US is NOT the world's cop.
The US supported Ukraine for 3-years, probably because of the Budapest memorandum.
The Ukraine war is a stalemate, its just burning lives, property, and too much cash.
Trump will end the war betraying nothing. Peace is a good thing.

Europe preps for WWIII as secret German docs reveal plans for 800K troops in case Russia invades NATO​

The US has been the world’s cop to a greater or lessor degree since 1941.

We are half the heart of the Western Alliance that Roosevelt and Churchill built. And while the US has not always lived up to the principles it espouses, it was still seen as “a shining city on a hill” by many around the world.

Putin wasn’t to conquer Ukraine and add it to Russia. After that,it is his stated aim to bully all the old Warsaw Pact countries back behind a new Iron Curtain.

And Trump, who supports the Russians (is owned by them), and supported the invasion, will stand aside for him.

The current (mentally impaired) president authorized a crooked little foreign government to attack mainland Russia with U.S. made missiles and lefties think Trump is a threat to national security? No wonder they lost in a freaking landslide. Jan 20 can't come fast enough if we survive the nest two months.

Although I’m unclear as to what that post has to do with the thread, I will say it is an amazing video.
