Thread on White House Transition process:

On March 4th 1801 the second president of the United States - John Adams - refused to hand over office to his main rival at the 1800 election, Thomas Jefferson.

The rule of "midday January 20" had not yet been written.
Despite his stubbornness, THE OFFICE SIMPLY LEFT HIM!

Adams was the first president to reside at the new official residence

After Jefferson's swearing in - which the incumbent refused to attend - White House staff began removing Adam’s belongings from the WH.
All security organs ended all official communication.

All presidential staff stopped taking instructions from Adams – THE OFFICE MOVED.

Since then, all WH incumbents prepare early to leave in case they see signs of losing,
to avoid humiliation by the independent organs of state.

The Military, The secret Service, The CIA, FBI and all White House staff, all operate under a code - that of serving a man/woman who has carried the WILL of the people at an election.
Biden has clinched the 270 votes, and when he is officially declared president by all returning officers in the states, the following is going to happen:
1- The secret service divides its attention between the incumbent at the incoming President.

2- CIA begins to brief both (including top secret intelligence which is traditionally reserved for one individual-the commander in chief)
3- The counter intelligence teams of the CIA also begin to brief both

4- White House staff begin to prepare to re-do the house in-line with the taste of the president elect.
5- At Midday on January 20, White House staff remove all his belongings from the house and bring in the belongings of the new president (they wait for no one’s instructions)

6- The deductions for White House rent on Trump’s salary stops in January
7- The deductions for White House rent begins on Joe Biden’s presidential salary in January

8- Melania Trump stops being the White House boss on January 20 at midday

9- Dr. Jill Biden becomes the White House boss on January 20 at midday
10- At midday on January 20, all the power organs of the US cease official communication with Trump:
The pentagon
The CIA
The FBI
The Attorney General

The secret service maintains minimal communication since it is going to guard the x-president all his life.
11- The BEAST (presidential limo) and AIR FORCE ONE (presidential plane) salute Trump for the last time and shift their attention to Biden.

The BEAST starts the tradition of carrying Biden’s blood samples.

Without instructions from any one!
It has been so for over 200 years.

This great post is from #RebeccaSolnit, all her words, not mine:

"The middle ground is not halfway between Nazis and antiracists. The reasonable position is not a compromise between rapists and feminists, slaveowners and abolitionists, Natives and General Crook.
The truth is not midway between the liar and the truthteller. That has to be a factor in all those calls for reaching out and unity.

"The murderer and his intended victim don't have to agree on what's right.
The people who were harmed don't have to reach out to those who did the harming. The people who told the truth don't need to make liars feel better about themselves or what they said. Those who were targeted by this war don't have to do all the peacemaking.

From Bill Svelmoe, history prof. at Notre Dame.

A few thoughts on #AmyConeyBarrett

- She's a done deal. Dems shouldn't waste time attacking her character, or her religion, or on how she will vote on hypothetical cases.
The #PeopleofPraise isn't a cult. I've had half a dozen of their kids in my classes... these have been among the best students I've ever had. Extremely bright. Careful critical thinkers. Wonderful writers. I loved having them in class. So don't go after the People of Praise.
By all accounts Barrett walks on water. I've had that in a roundabout way from people I know at Notre Dame, including from folks as liberal as me, who actually look forward to seeing her on the court. I have no first hand knowledge of her, but take the above for what you will.

It's disheartening to see the "Pro-life" response to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death. It's very clear that the folks who think RBG was a vehement "baby killer" have never heard of the name Susan Struck.
#RBG #NotoriousRBG
In the 1960s & 1970s, before Roe vs Wade, abortion was not only legal on US military bases, it was actively ENCOURAGED and basically mandated. Yes, really.
#RBG #NotoriousRBG
Captain Susan Struck was a combat nurse in Vietnam. When she got pregnant in 1970, the Air Force starkly gave her two choices. Get an abortion or be discharged. Struck wanted to keep her baby. So she was kicked out of the service.

While #Absentee/#VoteByMail is perfectly safe, it DOES
have a weak link: matching signatures. As our signature changes as we age, the one we have on record may no longer match the one you have now. So you must update it. PLEASE share.

Your current signature on file must match your signature on a mail ballot certificate envelope in order to count your ballot. This signature on file is also used to verify your signature on a candidate or initiative petition.

For those of you who have family and friends opposed to abortion, voted for #Twitler in 2016 and now are struggling to justify a #Biden vote, the following is from a #prolife post explaining WHY she is changing her vote in 2020. You may find this helpful.
“I have felt a heaviness in my soul lately.

For the past couple weeks, I’ve felt it. A weight. The heaviness. So this morning I closed myself in my room, read some of John’s gospel, opened my journal and prayed, “OK, God. What is it? My heart feels heavy. What is this feeling?”
"And I began to write - Heartbreak. It’s heartbreak. And disillusionment. I’ve been here before - so many times since 2016. And here I am again.

I keep seeing #Christians say they can’t vote for Joe Biden because of his stance on abortion."

Words from a military paralegal.
#kenoshashooting
I'm seeing a lot of ignorance and misinformation flying around about what happened in Kenosha, and I'm going to set the record straight from a professional legal position... as well as from a former military position.
/2
I'm going to explain some things from a more technical angle derived from my many years as a paralegal and from my experience working in federal criminal justice and prosecution.

Legally, if you are in the process of a commission of a crime, it negates your ability to claim
/3
self defense if you kill someone. As in, it can't even be entered as your official defense in court. It is similar to getting rear-ended at a red light through zero fault of your own, but you were driving without a license or insurance.
