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.

      Good news, frog legs are delicious. But yeh. We’re fucked. I know it. But getting super pissy about every norm and small infraction is just a way to exhaust the public.

        Well since we’re going off topic, the only time I ever had frog’s legs, I didn’t care for them. Way too much bone to meat ratio and the meat was meh.

          Just like with bad food it’s only every worth complaining about when you can affect the general business… Not the server helping you.
