He’s not even in office.
There's still four more years of this bullshit... At least...
Inauguration is what? The 20th?
So like 4 years and 15 days.
Am I crazy or do presidents-elect usually not get this involved so early and so publicly? Like he’s been meeting with world leaders and whatnot?
During the 2008 financial crisis both Obama and McCain had White House meetings to try and figure out a solution, that was before the election. But I guess in that instance they were all basically on the same team and Bush didn't want to set up his successor for failure, whomever it was (McCain would've probably done the exact same thing).
I miss the days when McCain was seen as right wing. He at least had integrity.
You know it's bad when you look back at Bush's time in office with a sense of nostalgia...
I mean, I don't. He was terrible and I hate that Democrats are laundering his and the Cheney's reputations. It's just that Republicans have always been on a downhill trajectory, each President worse than their predecessor.
"Could've been worse. Not sure how, but it could've."
Ten years later...
It is nice to hear when politicians are actually working together to try and solve a big problem.
That would never happen with Trump.
They're also not usually constitutional forbidden from taking office, but he'll be confirmed in spite of that little issue in a few days
You're not crazy. no.
But, eh, he's been meeting with World Leaders™️through out Biden's term, and that's really not normal either. (well. with the exception of the sitting president asking an ex pres to do some negotiating or something. That kinda happens.)
It's partially because of the previous term, it's not the same as a random person about to be president for the first time.
