The biggest impediment to the transition is not going to be the Trump/GSA shenanigans, but shit like this.
Biden’s transition team had better suit up like they are in an ER Covid ward. Plus, I cannot imagine anyone moving into the the WH (or officing in the West Wing) until house staff there has had a two-week quarantine and the place has been fumigated.
Luckily there’s lots of room on the White House grounds for an RV. Paging Dr. Biden!

The White House needs to be fumigated with ultra violet light and any other method of ridding it of the virus, both Covid and Orange putrification.

Carson has access to effective therapeutics. Good for Ben and the others in the Trump orbit. What about the rest of us?

Of course, Dr Carlson y’all have immediate access to the most effective therapeutics as you continue to try to remove all healthcare from more than 20 mm others. There will be a
Reckoning.

Easier to just empty it completely, and keep it empty for at least a week.

Do you really think they’d waste a dose on a black head of HUD when there are family members who might need it later?
Who the hell could’ve possibly even conceptualized there could be so much disease in a cesspit?

And it seems we have 70,000,000 voters willing to march right along with him to the joy of contacting Corvid-19.

Sorry, not surprised. Just surprised that more in the maladministration haven’t gotten it.

So much for years of medical training- if anyone in Trump’s Cabinet should have known how to prevent catching Covid, Carson should have. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure how to wear a mask.

So does this mean Sleepy Ben is rounding the corner?
Like Herman Cain did?

“He is in good spirits and feels fortunate to have access to effective therapeutics which aid and markedly speed his recovery,” Carson’s deputy chief of staff, Coalter Baker, said in a statement to ABC News.
Unlike all you proles.
