Really? Is that what I should worry about? The $6 million that Biden
wants from Trump?
There are easy solutions for Biden. Hunter and Joe have already
gotten a billion dollars from China in influence peddling. So he
could just ask his Beijing contact for another $6 million in return
for future favors. He could do the same with his contacts in Moscow
and Kiev. Joe and Hunter have plenty of opportunities to pick up $6
million for his "transition team," and a lot more for his other
cronies. So, problem solved!
(Oh wait! Did I just say something racist, sexist, homophobic or
otherwise deplorable? Omigod!)
Hamstringing the incoming Administration is a horrible idea. An administration getting help from a foreign power in achieving its domestic ends out of its own design is unconscionable. An administration requiring its successor to seek non-government assistance from special interests or, worse, from foreign powers, is unthinkable.
Trump breaks the rules... badly. That is his norm.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
