Elizabeth Warren Warns That Trump’s Transition “Threatens the American Public”

  1. I’m sorry but, what am I supposed to do about this? If there are no existing systems in place to ensure a legal and safe transition of power, what the fuck am I supposed to do about it?

  2. Trump voters do not care. They voted for a convicted felon. It’s not like they don’t know Trump is a crook.

  3. We all know it is funded by a hostile state and its agents in the US.

  4. and then CBS reports a poll saying voters like the transition while using manipulated stats.

  5. Thanks for the heads up, but seeing as you are right there, do you reckon you could try and sort it? Not only am I really busy, I’m absolutely fucking powerless to influence it, relatively.

  6. “We don’t know who’s funding the transition team.” The same fucking people who funded Trump! That’s who! It’s a who’s who of billionaires, crypto-criminals, and wing-nuts.

  7. Then use the NSA, FBI, and CIA while you still can, you hyperbolic sniveling politician!

  8. They are doing what everyone said they would do when they changed the rules to suit the system they have now.

    Leave Warren alone. Shes one of your last bulwarks against the worst thing to happen. She may fail, but you dont slash your last tire just because its the last one.

  9. It’s sad that a few years ago, I was doing what I could to defend this country. Now, I’m worried I’m going to find myself in a position to defend myself from this country.

  10. can someone give me something like an ELI5 about why a presidential transition needs funding? my naive understanding is that a transition is just a change of power, so there was this president, and now there is this new president, and there was this SOS and now there is a new SOS. what about this needs to be funded?

  11. So stop trying to fund-raise off it and do something Elizabeth!

  12. They aren’t funding the transition team, they are investing in the transition team.

  13. It’s not Trump’s criming and sedition…. it’s the transition? Ok

  15. Could it possibly be the two billionaires, one of whom is the world’s richest man, who are being set up in an extra-governmental office that will have the ear of the outrageously corrupt incoming president?

  16. I’m pretty sick of seeing Warren’s comments. Do something or shut up.

  17. Okay we get it. For the last decade it’s “trumps done this , he’s a threat. Breaking news and headline wash and repeat for years. Fucking do something then. Shit

  19. The legal system failed. The Supreme Court failed. Let the voters get what they deserve. Its time to just sit back and eat popcorn and enjoy the show.

  20. Listen the only way to remove Trump would be a coup. We would have to eliminate Trump, Vance and the Speaker before weeding through the entire new cabinet. 

    Basically be prepared for the second Civil War or the second great depression. 

  21. You know I can’t really blame the average person for thinking trump won’t be bad when all dems do is send strongly worded messages and then proceed to just fundraise $$$ off their supporters anger instead of actually doing something about trump like Brazil is doing with their trump like guy or how France is going after their trump like candidate LePen. The USA is no longer a beacon of freedom and honestly I don’t want to both sides it because republicans have gone completely off the rails but it’s not like the dems and the other institutions have done anything to push back against him.

  22. So…look into it? You’re more likely to be able to do something than we can. I’m so tired of all of these warnings with nothing happening. I accept the asteroid at this point.

  23. I hate to say it but the only thing an individual can do right now is weather the storm. Voting obviously doesn’t work. At this point all you can do is arm yourselves (safely and intelligently), educate yourselves, and protect yourselves and those who can’t protect themselves. We need to stand up to these fascists and tell them that we will not bow to their masters like they do. Trump and his entire cult are out of their fucking minds. We’ve essentially just voted in a group of mentally deranged psychopaths that have no concern for anyone but themselves.

  24. The next 4 years are gonna be.

    Congress people call out Trump for unethical or possibly illegal things. Everyone comdemns it , but no one actually does anything about it.

  25. So in the movie “The Dark Knight” Batman uses Gotham’s cell phones to create a sonar to locate and fight the joker.

    It’s seen as necessary for the safety of the city even though it infringes on the privacy of everyone in gotham quite a bit.

    Now look at the real world. We know that the NSA is collecting, at the very least, tons of metadata generated from all our communications, and in a lot of instances, they have the actual communications.

    Can we do what Batman did and just this once….take a peak?

    Between this, trying to find transactions on the blockchain since a ton of this is happening via crypto, and good ol’ hacking, how are we constantly in the dark about all this stuff?

    I just imagine that someone in the NSA has heard some really bad stuff if they’re at all able to just pull some recordings and have a listen.

  31. Explain to me like I’m five why do they need money to transition?

  33. Yeah we know. This is part 2 of a film that bombed when the first one came out. Wake me up when there’s a plan. We know what’s coming. The shit birds are flying in low.

  34. Wow I wish someone had known about this trump character before the election so the NYT could have properly reported on it.

  35. This representative is the lamest, most captain obvious, most “pick something completely random”, and most useless (democratic)make some noise to stay relevant ever.

  38. Why is she talking to us like *we* should do something about this? I’m not a senator, you the reader aren’t a senator. Reminds me of a quote by Carl Schmitt:

    “You can dismantle a democracy right in front of a liberal’s face piece by piece and all they’ll do is convene breakout sessions and committee meetings til the boots are in the halls”

    JESUS. FUCKING. CHRIST. DO SOMETHING.

  40. Jesus Christ I’m over the “Person with power and the ability to do something about it strongly wags their finger and points out how bad the bad thing is”. Fuck outta here and DO SOMETHING

  41. This reminds me of the lead up to Jan 6. Everyone could see the calamity about to unfold, but no one felt empowered to do anything. This is going to be a 4 years long Jan 6 folks.

  42. GOP is fully on board with this crap. They pretend like they are concerned.They all just want power and to tell everyone else how they should live.

    All the while, we know they are the real pedophiles, criminals, and sexual assualters. Everything out of their mouths was always projection.

    People need to wake up. This is a super security risk to the US.

  44. I think we all know. Billionaires and foreigners. 

  45. I’m sick of the only people capable of doing anything continually warning everyone but not doing anything. If he’s breaking the law, fucking do something about it Jesus Christ
