Atlantic Magazine Writes off Clinton White House Transition Vandalism as Mere Pranks

Hey, it was just a harmless prank! No real harm done. Ha! Ha!

That is the tone of The Atlantic magazine article explaining away the vandalism performed by the Clinton White House as it transitioned over to the incoming George W. Bush administration. The article is about how tough it is to transition from one White House administration to the next but the real purpose as we shall see is to slam Donald Trump for mishandling a transition that has yet to happen because he hasn't even been nominated yet. First author Russell Berman attempts to explain away a major stain on recent presidential transitions:

I wonder if The Atlantic author was wearing his Hillary button while typing up his story.

I’m not officially a Trumpster but it is sort of fun to think of the inauguration platform of Trump and Obama.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

The Atlantic writes more BS about utterly nothing than any magazine I’ve ever seen. Just blithering navel-gazing nonsense over nothing.

I just came back to the house from cleaning the corrals, and here it all is again.

And how’s about that “transition” in the travel office? Nicely played, Mrs. Bill Clinton.

[Blue Jays]

While rich in history, the White House is likely not as impressive (in terms of amenities) as other homes owned by President Trump.
More sophisticated communications and defenses, sure.
Appointments and details...probably not.

Imagine the interior of the limo delivering Trump and Obama to Capitol Hill that day.

He rapes, he steals, he vandalizes, ain't that Bill cute when he and his posse are having fun ?

Yeah, we get it. Laws and morality are for little people, not the In Crowd.

[Mercat]

It doesn’t say anywhere that they have to share a limo. Or even that Obama has to attend. I remember the first inauguration of Reagan where he had run against and beaten Carter. I called my young sons into the room and made them watch. They were like 3 and 6 and so totally not interested but saying to them that this was what America was about, the peaceful transfer of power. And I am ashamed to say I had voted for Carter. If the Hildabeast wins, I won’t bother watching.

The Atlantic continues to write itself off as a viable publication, like NR and Townhall have done in this year.

[originalbuckeye]

I do remember that all the ‘Ws’ have been broken off ALL the keyboards in the WH. Yeah, pretty funny......and pretty expensive to replace.

[Talisker]

It wasn’t a prank, it was a psyop, and a very nasty one at that.

I think utilizer is right. we need to start bringing up the Clinton shennanigans so the young’uns get a clue

[Know et al]

Yet, if a republican group were to do the same thing, it would be a capital offense. (pun intended)

I wonder how Atlantic Magazine would view a box sent to Hillary that had cigars and kneepads in it?

[Utilizer]

They probably would try to not comment about it, just in case it was sent by Huma.
