Raw Story - 'Crash course': Trump team facing new 'obstacles' after foot-dragging on paperwork

Any hope that Donald Trump's incoming team will hit the ground running on the first day and launch a flurry of changes in the government will likely need to be put on hold, reports Politico.

Even before the president-elect beat Vice President Kamala Harris in November, Trump's inner circle has delayed turning in paperwork that would allow his transition team to get clearance to see sensitive documents and began learning the ins and outs of running the government.

As Politico is reporting, much of the documentation has been submitted but his people have yet to submit comprehensive "lists of people who will serve on the teams to the Biden administration," with a just few names trickling in On Friday.

According to Politico's Alice Miranda Ollstein, "That puts Trump officials nearly a month behind their recent predecessors, who began what is known as the 'agency review' process — meeting with existing agency staff and getting briefed on major policy issues and challenges — right after the election, to ensure their incoming administrations would be up to speed."

Those delays will come back to bite the president elect's team when they take over in late January.

1. Trump is deterred. Until the next stupid ass thing he will do

2. No rules, no guard rails, no knowledge

What could possibly go wrong?

They apparently don’t need any new information to complete their destruction of everything we hold dear.

We can only hope that they run into a slew of roadblocks they are otherwise ignorant of, and thereby incur the ultimate fool’s wrath, get fired, and whoever the new idiot is has to start the process over.
