As a person who voted for Biden, I am beginning to get angry, that my vote is being called 'fraudulent' and my vote is not appearing to matter!!! We have given Trump 8 days now (since the election), its time to wrap this up or else there is going to be problems! Everyone else that voted for Biden should be feeling the same way now, How long are we going to tolerate this?!
"We" gave Algore 37 days of machinations, you can wait a few more days or even weeks if need be.

Congeniality? Have you been not paying attention the last 4 1/2 years? Congeniality isn't what happened.

There was no dispute in 2016.
And calling the President of the United States a "buffoon" and then talking about "class" is ridiculous.

Once when John McKay was the football coach at USC during the time they were dominating the Pac 8 conference; he was asked if he was worried about Oregon State's experience because they were returning 15 starters from the previous year. McKay quipped, "If you have everyone back from a team that lost 10 games, experience isn't too important."
That is the Biden "team". Few people have been wrong more often on foreign policy than Joe Biden.

Per the 911 commission, the 37 day delay between Bush and Clinton contributed to the slow response from the Bush administration.

[T]he 36-day delay cut in half the normal transition period. Given that a presidential election in the United States brings wholesale change in personnel, this loss of time hampered the new administration in identifying, recruiting, clearing, and obtaining Senate confirmation of key appointees.
This was the most important point in the entire 9-11 Commission report.
"Looking back, we are struck with the narrow and unimaginative menu of options for action offered to both President Clinton and President Bush.
Before 9/11, the United States tried to solve the al Qaeda problem with the same government institutions and capabilities it had used in the last stages of the Cold War and its immediate aftermath. These capabilities were insufficient, but little was done to expand or reform them."
Hindsight brings great clarity. Traditionally the U.S. prepares for war based on the last one and not enough on the future one. Hopefully we are figuring out now how we will beat China in space and cyberspace, since that will be the next conflict; not aircraft carriers and Marines on the ground.

Not really. In AZ Trump only got 48% in 2016 and barely got 50% in GA. If KY had flipped, maybe.
Oklahoma senator will step in and intervene on behalf of President-Elect Biden and VP-Elect Harris if White House continues to stall on providing our duly elected leaders with Presidential Daily Briefings. Nice.
Quite frankly your whole premise is ludicrous partisan fear mongering.
And your whole premise is to yell “Fake News” at the parade of Military and security professionals (from both party’s) we’ve seen all week explaining why a slow transition creates risk.
Trump is best ignored for the insignificance he is. Thank heaven Biden and his team are the most experienced ever to assume the WH.....they've all been there before, they've seen everything. They are wisely ignoring the Trump Tantrum and going about setting up a govt. They KNOW exactly what they need to do and how to do it. They can work around these financial and logistical roadblocks. As Biden said yesterday, national security briefings aren't necessary at this time. He also wisely said there is only one administration at a time. So, patience......there is an adultincharge, finally - many of them for that matter. All will be well, eventually.
Bingo! It's nice that one Republican senator grew some, but Biden also has security clearance. I'm sure Trump is trying to hide some things that he doesn't want to come out. Biden is more focused on Covid right now. He's been getting briefs on it for months. That seems to be his priority right now, and we the people voted for a do something about it president vs a liar and gas lighter.
Trump can whine and cry poor me all the way out the door. It is after all everyone else but Trump right. I can't wait until January. Biden will have "all the best" key people in place from day one, and he's already working for all of us.
If states haven`t certified their elections by inauguration day Nancy Pelosi becomes president. It would be president Nancy or president Joe. We know who won`t be president. lol is right.

Thanks for the laugh. Your "do something" leader's solution is to do nothing for 4-6 weeks. Hide in our basements like he's been doing. That is hardly a solution.
