This article is amazing. Must read.
"Since his victory, Trump has ignored many of the rules and practices intended to guide a seamless transfer of power and handover of the oversight of 2.2 million federal employees. Instead, the president-elect, who has pledged to fire thousands of civil servants and slash billions of dollars in spending, has so far almost fully cut out the government agencies his predecessors have relied on to take charge of the federal government.
Trump has yet to collaborate with the General Services Administration, which is tasked with the complex work of handing over control of hundreds of agencies, because he has not turned in required pledges to follow ethics rules. His transition teams have yet to set foot inside a single federal office.
In calls with foreign heads of state, Trump has cut out the State Department, its secure lines and its official interpreters."
__
"At the root of this unprecedented approach, say those close to Trump’s transition, is an abiding distrust and resentment of federal agencies that the president-elect blames for blocking his agenda in his first term, leaking his plans to the press, and later sharing his documents with investigators and bringing criminal charges against him.
For Trump, who campaigned on radically reshaping the federal government by moving entire departments out of Washington, closing others and replacing scores of civil servants with political loyalists, fulfillment of that vision begins with a privately run transition from Palm Beach and nearby offices."
__
"To date, he has not signed memorandums of understanding that include a robust ethics pledge from the transition staff and — in a new provision added by Congress after ethical issues dogged the first Trump administration — from the president-elect himself, who must delineate how he would avoid his own conflicts of interest."
__
"The day after Trump won the election, congratulatory calls began pouring in from world leaders from French President Emmanuel Macron to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a traditional post-Election Day ritual.
However, Trump did not include State Department officials or U.S. government interpreters on the line, according to government and transition officials."
__
"Trump’s transition team has also dispensed with the FBI’s role, in place since before World War II, in performing the background checks that form the backbone of security clearances for political appointees. By law these checks must be performed by federal employees, not private contractors with no agency oversight, to ensure that key decisions affecting public trust are made by “accountable government officials,” according to federal statute."
__
"A Justice spokesperson said the department was committed to an orderly transfer of powerand that discussions about signing a memorandum of understanding, as past presidents-elect have done, remains “ongoing.”
“We are prepared to deliver briefings to the transition team on our operations and responsibilities, and we stand ready to process requests for security clearances for those who will need access to national security information,” the spokesperson said."
__
"Even before he is sworn in for a second term, Trump told House Republicans he addressed on Capitol Hill last week that he might need their help to bypass the Constitution to allow him to run for a third term. The crowd laughed, taking the remark as a joke.
The next day, one House Democrat raced to block a Trump 3.0, introducing a resolution that reaffirms support for the Constitution’s two-term limit for presidents even if the terms are not consecutive."

Trump ignores transition rules. It’s a ‘hostile takeover,’ ally says.
Donald Trump’s transition team has begun what a close ally calls a hostile takeover of the federal government, ignoring the rules for the handover of power in the process.

‘The DoD IG knowingly concealed the extent of the delay in constructing a narrative that is favorable to DoD and Pentagon leadership,’ the letter says.
Federal bureaucrats within the Department of Defense (DoD) delayed the deployment of the National Guard on Jan. 6, 2021 and covered it up, according to a House Republican investigation of government conduct related to the Capitol riot.
On Thursday, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., who is leading a review of the work completed by the partisan Jan. 6 probe run by then-Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, sent a letter to the inspector general for the Department of Defense demanding a correction to an agency report published in November 2021.
“This report was the final product of the DoD IG’s review into the events of January 6, and reviewed how the DoD responded to requests for support as the events unfolded,” Loudermilk, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight for the House Administration Committee, wrote. “Throughout the Subcommittee’s extensive investigation into the failures of January 6, 2021, we have discovered numerous flaws and inaccuracies in the report that your office has yet to appropriately address.”

The people complaining and black pilling about Trump's picks are missing the forrest from the trees. Have they forgotten that Vivek and Elon are about to decimate the federal government and Robert Kennedy is finally going to cleanse our health and pharma industry? These peripheral picks, while we should be alert and question everything our government does, are less impactful that the hell than the major allies of Trump's that will bring upon the establishment.
How do we have people black pilling when Trump survived a literal assassination attempt in what could only be seen as a miracle from God? Get your head out of the gutter and think on the brightside. We could have Kamala Harris right now after another stolen election. Trump knows what he is doing. You've got to let him cook...
The best is still yet to come! Don't let anyone tell you differently.

Mainstream media characters repeating “we are the news now” around the Intellectual Kids Table on XformerlyTwitter is the ultimate conclusion necessitated by the public agreeing that they were actually the “independent media” on the basis of their self-identification as independent.
They did such a good job of “waking up the normies” that they are now just the mainstream media again, catering to those “newly awakened” normies, just like they always were.
Amazing.

While everyone is losing their minds over the drafting of Trump’s fantasy team, it’s important to remember that:
1. Most of the federal agencies cannot rule or regulate your life in any way and any power they had to do so is being systematically removed.
2. This isn’t only a constitutional claim, it is backed by recent Supreme Court precedent that will be made effective in short order once Trump is seen to be “inaugurated” after his third straight election win.
3. It is YOUR responsibility to refuse to comply with unconstitutional and immoral orders and mandates from your illegitimate government. If you want an illegitimate government to create your perfect world, you’ve already lost the plot.
4. Because the agencies don’t do what they were ostensibly set up to do, they are a waste of money that advances the adversary in contradiction to the will of the people. The answer is not to put ‘better’ people in to run the agencies, the answer is to eliminate them.
Stop cheering for television characters.
Playing fantasy sports to fill an illegitimate bureaucratic state is an extension of the same groveling that made everyone vote as hard as possible in a fake election and cheer on a (now disappeared) “landslide” that validated the legitimacy of that fake election.
Your princess is in another castle.
Interfacing with Reality Prime does not interfere with ‘the Plan,’ it accelerates its progress. For people who can’t stop repeating that “the people are the plan,” it should be easy to understand why the people should be accelerating, not watching the Soap Opera, waiting for television characters to “wake up the normies.”
The characters in season three of The Apprentice: Trump Administration exist to illustrate the problems and solutions in and within the original form of government and the communist bureaucracy layer we interface with now. They’re not there to be your new rulers, your new best friends, or your new enemies, except in the sense that their roles can teach the necessary lessons.
