The Biden team is experienced enough to set up a transition plan even without input from the current administration. They may walk in to some surprises, but if there’s no cooperation, then they just build in some flexibility and what-ifs into the planning.

Eh, the Advisory Board is pretty solid.
If he actually appoints Rahm Emanuel to anything, I’m gonna completely bail even sooner than I thought.

They seem ok, but I think I’m gonna just drink whatever tea Dr. Oz says probably prevents Covid. Hey look, you can buy it right from his website! That’s convenient!

Yeah it doesn’t seem too bad but I always cringe anytime I see the name of someone related to Rahm Emanuel. Also not the best look of having a guy who thinks people should be killed off at 75 on the advisory board for a virus that kills off a bunch of people above that age
Uh, might be time for Joe to drop the “can’t we all get along” routine in light of today’s events.
Tell Nancy to pass a House stimulus bill every day for the next two months and campaign relentlessly on the very popular “give you cash” message.

What if it’s not the smooth transition people are used to but a horribly bumpy one which induces panic?
The federal government at the agency level is basically set up to do good things for the american people as directed by statutes. Trump was never really interested in doing good things for the american people within the framework of statutory authority. He basically never really understood the government, what it’s for, or how it works.

Yeah, this is a panic-free thread, unless you’re panicking about something Joe Biden in particular is doing. We’ll lock this thread (and maybe delete the whole forum?) in the unlikely event we collapse into a fascist state.

“According to reports”
I’m not gonna freak out (yet)
Klobs endorsed+dropped out to help him at a critical time, and I assume the expectation for doing something like that is a top job.
His speech / Q&A here is really good.

Not every Senator is a Diane Feinstein type who wants to hold onto their seat until they die. When do you think it is okay for her to give up her seat in order to do other things?
