Summary
Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team of violating the Presidential Transition Act by failing to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement, a law Warren helped author.
Her comments follow a CNN report suggesting that Trump’s team has withheld necessary transition agreements from the Biden administration due to conflict-of-interest concerns.
Rep. Jamie Raskin also criticized Trump’s refusal to engage in standard transition protocols, warning it could disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Trump’s actions break a precedent set by presidential candidates since 2010.
This is how it was last time it is going to get worse. The crimes will become so constant to the point where you just tune out. We are now in an abusive relationship we can’t get out of.
This is the best “metaphor” I could come up with as well. The voters are abuser enablers who trapped us in a house with our abuser. They don’t see his abuse because they tune it out and don’t pay attention. If you raise the abuse to them, their response is, “Stop being so dramatic, he’s good for you.”
But the thing is, the fact that he’s actually a real narcissistic sociopath who feeds on our attention is not just apt for the metaphor - there is actually no metaphor. He’s simply, actually in an abusive, non-consensual relationship with half the country. And his voters are simply, actually delusional enablers.
