I can't read Trumpy refusing to commemorate dead soldiers because of a light drizzle as anything except him holed up in his room and refusing to come out like some sort of petulant pre-teen. "Mr President, you have to go to the ceremony now." "I don't wanna! Go away, I hate you!"

This makes sense to me because if you look at Trump's real work ethic and compare it to how many rallies he attended to support Republicans the outcome is not at all what he was being promised by his idiot children and other stooges. This guys ego is gigantic and his crowd sizes did not keep the Republican party in power as intended.

Munkeymon posted:https://www.gao.gov/new.items/d02360.pdf Not up to read a 220 page report but the end makes it sound like a bunch of he said they said stuff mixed in with some general chaos of moving and a dash of pranks. Kind of concerning that the transition isn't better organized but.../shrug. Fact Check was less damning in their summary stating. quote:As far as “computer wires and electrical outlets” being ripped from the walls, the GAO said that White House employees had reported observing several telephone wires that had been ripped from the walls, but a repair request to the GSA did not refer to the wires as being “ripped.” Instead, the request asked repair staff to “organize all loose wires and make them not so visible.” The GAO concluded that “even though the staff made these observations … we did not know when and how the wires became separated from the walls.” And frankly given the tentative relationship the Right has with reality and truth, I remain skeptical. Then again given how the 2000 election turned out I really couldn't blame anyone in the outgoing administration for being a little bitter. Further given how that outcome hosed the country and the world. Skex fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Nov 13, 2018 |

Trump was doing nonstop rallies the last few weeks leading up to the election so he was riding high. Rallies are pretty much his favorite thing to do, he gets to rant while his most diehard fans cheer and hoot and chant for Clinton and journalists to be imprisoned. Then the election results came in and it was a huge whiplash for his ego. He's not getting any positive attention so it's going to all be angry paranoid lashing out. I imagine this will be among the darkest, chaotic, and most unhinged periods in his presidency.

To be fair, he was in France and the graveyard in question was a resting place for American WW1 dead. But there was lying involved, SHucks said it was 2.5 hours away by car and Marine One couldn't fly, both provable lies but typical for this group of assholes. Sounds like a tantrum to me.

The GAO isn't "the right", but I'll grant you that some incoming staffer might have pretended to find a prank they constructed themselves or just lied about it, but the conclusion I was quoting from actually isn't very harsh. Yeah, a couple of pranks happened, but most of the damage was attributable to years of wear and tear plus moving a bunch of office furniture around in a hurry.

Worst dude ever Bill DeBlasio is asking the city council to pass a law that removes the cap on political donations to cover legal fees because he has racked up some serious legal bills because of his dodgy campaign financing. He is trying to spin it as "I don't want to spend tax payer money" Edit: Cuomo sucks too.

Yeah, a couple of pranks happened, but most of the damage was attributable to years of wear and tear plus moving a bunch of office furniture around in a hurry. I didn't intent to paint the GAO as "the Right" their part was pretty dry "X was reported" "We observed X" "X unable to conclude when X occurred and or what the intent of X was". I was referring to the framing that the "Right" used to present it. But I agree the conclusion was a few harmless pranks and general wear and tear but the Republicans (aka the Right) dressed it up and tried to see it like it was some sort of organized intentional effort to vandalize the White House prior to the transition. And after years of them doing this kind of weaselly poo poo I'm always skeptical when someone starts claiming that some Democrat did some awful thing. Because more often or not when I dig into it, it turns out to be nothing close to how it's presented.

The GOP has openly admitted its hoping a corrupt SCOTUS will allow them to effectively ignore subpoenas. I think the GOP will try to kill the investigation before it gets to the possibility of a subpoena, but if we do get that far I expect the subpoena paperwork will be lost a thousand times over until they get a solid confirmation from the bench that nobody’s gonna hurt the GOP.
