Summary
Donald Trump’s transition team is raising unlimited funds from undisclosed donors, including foreign nationals, bypassing federal transparency rules by refusing to sign agreements with the Biden administration.
This breaks from tradition, sparking concerns about potential conflicts of interest and influence over the incoming administration.
The team has also failed to enable FBI background checks for appointees and has not submitted an ethics plan required for pre-inauguration access to federal agencies.
Critics warn that this secrecy undermines accountability during the critical handover of power.
You know, there was this TV show some time back, sliders, I think. One episode has everyone wearing truth collars that shock you when you lie. Fuck tradition, make our leaders wear truth collars that shock the fuck out of them when they lie.
They’ll just become smart like the Fae in a lot of fantasy literature, they can’t lie but they can tell you half truths and let you fill in thr blanks yourself to mislead you to an improper conclusion.
