#MurphyBreakdown trending, at the top of that hashtag right now:

This woman should not be able to find future employment
She puts her well-being over the safety of the nation
One state was in play in 2000
Joe Biden is the clear winner in 2020
She needs to do her job

I'm not surprised that you want to see her impoverished and pushing a shopping cart while living on the street. It just seems to me that that's a bit too harsh a punishment for waiting a few weeks before signing the paperwork to begin Biden's transition.

We disagree
What a surprise

Why don't they think of stuff like this themselves? We pay them to watch what she and the rest of the civil service is doing and we pay her and she works for us:

It shouldn't come to point where citizens should even want to lobby a GSA head. If she doesn't know what she's supposed to do, if she can't say it to the public, she herself needs advice and consent, she needs to know her duties. Who the heck gets paid to not know what they are supposed to do? If she doesn't know what to do, get advice and be able to tell the public, her employer, what she is supposed to be doing. She's supposed to tell us, not the other way around, supposed to be an expert at running government operations.

Election expert Hasen is basically saying the same thing--that she needs a signal from Congress about what she is supposed to do:

It should be pointed out that McConnell did make a definitive statement, it was just a cagey admission:
It's becoming very clear that it's like "moat" said on another thread days ago: his base is unfortunately for them, their only base right now and they are just trying to get to the next gas station on fumes. Let Trump and his fans play their games out. At the cost of more lost lives.
Nothing's changed on the latter front, though, as they've always been willing to sacrifice lives of the stupid to keep the economy going, while the smart ones of them wear masks and keep social distance and still have jobs until the vaccine comes.

OK great! and doing it the smart Biden way, eyes on the prize, not the politics!
by artappraiser on Thu, 11/19/2020 - 8:03pm
^ AND looks coordinated with Team Biden, not sent until their lobbying and meeting with governors is over. If true, another great sign, knows how to fight.

Same point here
by artappraiser on Thu, 11/19/2020 - 2:37pm
and the Biden team is probably directly responsible, as per the Politico article cited below
by artappraiser on Thu, 11/19/2020 - 2:58pm
I've noticed that WSJ's advertising department is also on board:
They are eager to move on and start selling stories about how the Biden admin is doing all the wrong things and how you can profit from that knowledge. This Trump farce for the unwashed fans is quite tiresome.

Edit to add correct current headline for Politico story is Biden mounts lobbying blitz to crack GOP resistance to his transition

Each day you provide me with humor.
by rmrd0000 on Thu, 11/19/2020 - 2:37pm
Actually, I am trying to avoid you and your attempts to get me ensnared in wasting time on your faulty interpretations of the news.
by artappraiser on Thu, 11/19/2020 - 2:47pm
Yada Yada
Trump and Emily Murphy have wasted two weeks by blocking the transition
You repeatedly demonstrate that you have zero comprehension of current events
You think Republicans who are too cowardly to say that Biden is President-elect will be bipartisan
When Trump leaves, his insane base remains
The base thinks Fox News is too Liberal
Republicans will not be bipartisan because the base will primary them.
You are trapped in a bubble

I am very impressed and heartened by this, especially this part
This is basically their first 3am phone call crisis and they are showing they know how to handle it!
I.E., they would not fall for feeding a troll like Saddam Hussein either.
It comes from a lifetime of experience. Honestly, personally I did not expect this much wisdom from him and who he hired to help him. It is a very good sign!
by artappraiser on Thu, 11/19/2020 - 2:44pm
Yup, Biden just made a strong public statement about the Trump adminstration delay possibly costing lives DIRECTLY AFTER meeting with 5 REPUBLICAN and 5 Democratic GOVERNORS. To present as a unified BI PARTISAN COALITION against the delay. Still playing very very smart, disarming instead of feeding the troll.
I am personally pleased and heartened! They know how to do this, not clueless. They will have to because he will probably continue to be an adversary for a very long time, because of his fans. Again, a lifetime of experience dealing with attempted bipartisanship that failed (including as Obama's VP) means he is more likely to know what may work.than most others!
by artappraiser on Thu, 11/19/2020 - 6:38pm
Bipartisanship failed,
70% of Trump voters believe that Biden is not the legitimate President-elect.
There is no legal method to compel Emily Murphy to release funds for transition.
In the Nixon era, Republicans demanded that he leave office.
Where are those patriotic Republicans today?
You may not care, but the country is at risk
You can do your chasing a troll dodge, Trump loves you for it

Trump invited two Michigan Republican legislators to the WH to talk
The talk will likely focus on challenging the electors who show up to cast electoral college votes
Nothing to see here
