Summary
Two weeks after his 2024 election victory, Donald Trump has yet to sign key transition agreements with the Biden administration and the General Services Administration (GSA), delaying security clearances, briefings, and resources for his incoming team.
The agreements include an ethics pledge aimed at preventing conflicts of interest, which Trump reportedly opposes.
Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have criticized Trump for potentially violating federal law.
Despite the holdup, Trump is moving forward with Cabinet appointments, though his pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid ethics investigations.
America. Where norms and customs are confused as being laws and the rigor in application of laws depends on whether you are a politician or are connected to one.
Yeah, I grew up learning how other countries weren’t as free and were more corrupt and in retrospect it was all fucking projection. This country is rotten to the fucking core.
