@BrianJopek I'm not surprised Trump (or one of his writers) is making these demands. But I'm horrified at how quickly and eagerly Senate Republicans are rolling over and showing their bellies for him.
@politico_eu_bot Reagan took a hard line against Soviet power. Trump will surrender to Russia his first day in office. This is a really bizarre comparison.
I mean okay, it’s a MAGAt, so definitely not sweet, and no child of mine. But you know, poetic license.
#Republicans, of course, will spin this as "#Democrats refuse to cooperate with #Trump's #transition team!" I suppose we could reply that we thought Republicans were against transitioning, but I doubt they'd get it.
@DemocracyMattersALot Republicans, of course, will spin this as "Democrats refuse to cooperate with Trump's transition team!"
Upon careful consideration, I believe it is time for us as a #nation to heal the wounds of our #division and move forward together. Therefore, as a #Democrat, I promise to treat #Trump with exactly the same respect and deference #Republicans showed for #Clinton, #Obama, and #Biden. I invite you to join me in this high-minded effort.

@fatsam That's what I'm hoping for too. But I know it doesn't always work that way.
@fatsam You may well be right. I'm going to keep hoping you're wrong, right up to the point it becomes undeniable. In which case I guess stuff like this will give us something to argue about on the way to the camps.
You know what, I never want to hear my fellow members of #GenerationX complaining about #Boomers ever again.

I admit, I did not have "public health department endorses mass murder" on my 2024 bingo card. But I guess I should have.

There it is. The entire #Republican Party of 2024 in a … er … nutshell.
@bot Oh look, it's a rabid squirrel that thinks it's a person. Goodbye, rabid squirrel.
