  2. His boss, the leader of the world after Jan 20 – Putin

  3. ***From Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade:***

    True to character, Donald Trump is already flouting ethics laws and norms even before he takes office as president in 2025. The president-elect is accepting secret donations to fund his transition while refusing to sign ethics pledges or deliver an ethics plan mandated by the Presidential Transitions Act. The transition also has not signed an agreement with the Federal Bureau of Investigation that would allow the agency to do background checks on Trump nominees.

  4. Because it’s Putin do I have to repeat myself we now have a Russian oligarch going to live in 1600

  7. Well, of course he won’t reveal it: otherwise the 20-odd donors will find that they’ve each been promised 100% of their policy demands.

  8. We don’t need to see the list to know who’s on it

  9. Conservatives: we want to get rid of the deep state!!!

    Also conservatives: let’s vote for the deep state and hidden billionaires.

  11. Why should he? There are no rules for him and no consequences. MAGA voted for this. The plurality voted for this; this is what they want. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

  12. Remember “most transparent ever” simpler times

  14. Why does he have to abide by anything at this point? Our government has shown him and us that he is not beholden to any laws or norms.

  15. >there are no restrictions on international donations to transitions, unlike presidential campaigns.

    Foreign money funding Trump? No limits oh donations? Sounds like people expected Trump to follow the law. Too bad he’s immune from prosecution for anything.

  16. If there are no effective penalties or remedies to this law/act then like so many laws that have been passed it will amount to nothing more than a suggestion to the rich and powerful. Laws for us but not for them. When the rich and powerful talk about freedom it usually just means freedom for them to do anything they want to us.

  18. He could admit it’s Putin and half of America would cheer.

  19. So we can now officially say it’s either Elon or a group from the Middle East.

  23. Literally the definition of the deep state. And you fuckers voted for it.

  25. Rich pedophiles that he knows about from Epstein are funding it.

  27. Seriously, who the fuck cares at this point; he could be on a street corner selling nuclear secrets to fund his transition WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCES AT ALL

  28. And he doesnt show his taxes, and he won’t sign transition docs, and he wants full control of the armed forces, and he does’nt want his picks vetted, and he doest want congressional approval, and he makes his own goverment agencies that constituionally requres and act from congress and so on and et al. He will get his way and we will all be the worse for it. I am tired and old, I fought for my sons to have a better country and they won’t.

  29. Man this is what my old history teacher said would happen if people didn’t care about their educations.

  30. United States doing a Cyperpunk 2077 speedrun with all of the worst Black Mirror episodes along the way. Congrats Trump voters you deserve it. Good luck in a few years with the GoFundMe to get chemo for that cancer caused by industrial pollution.

  32. The hypocrisy would be hilarious if it wasn’t so damaging to this country.

  33. Here is the thing…the average non-MAGA voter will not care cause they want a *better economy*. It doesn’t matter how much shit he does that is illegal and dangerous to our democracy, the only thing people care about is their financial situation.

    Which is ironic cause most people don’t know shit bout budgeting and living within their means. They all want to be high rollers and bury themselves in debt.

  34. I’ve seen so much anti-trans hate from the right wing that I had to do a double-take at this headline.

  35. He already wears more makeup than any woman I’ve ever seen. Oh, you mean presidential transition.
