They break everything on their way out.
After the inauguration of President George W. Bush on January 20, 2001, many new White House aides excitedly showed up for work the next day only to find their office spaces vandalized and trashed. Phone cords were ripped from walls. Bathrooms were littered and disgusting. Mirrors were broken. Chair backs were missing. Desk drawers were covered in glue. Desk locks were destroyed. The “W” keys were removed from computer keyboards. This was the Democrats’ idea of a “peaceful transfer of power.”
Oh, President Clinton’s staffers had their reasons. After Vice President Al Gore decided to renege on his election night concession to President-Elect Bush, he created the conditions for irreparable national division. Gore sought to litigate the election before sympathetic judges who might allow him to include disputed votes only from Democrat strongholds in the battleground state of Florida. Eventually, the Supreme Court stepped in and shattered Democrats’ hopes of overturning the 2000 election with selective recounts (a strategy that has subsequently proved more successful). Ironically, American voters had not been particularly enthusiastic about either Bush or Gore before the election, but the month-long electoral chaos produced rank bitterness that endures to this day. (A reasonable person might wonder, then, why so little has been done in the following quarter-century to shore up public faith in election outcomes.)
So the outgoing employees of the Clinton-Gore White House were not happy about having tasted judicially delivered victory only to see triumph slip away on December 13. Because their feelings were hurt, they behaved petulantly. They recorded obscene voicemails for their Republican replacements, graffitied the West Wing with images of President Bush as a chimpanzee, and filled desk drawers and filing cabinets with vulgar notes — including “GET OUT,” “Hail to the thief,”

It was somewhat funny, but it’s still destruction of government property. People get arrested and thrown in jail for that.

I wasn’t trying to smoke you guys out!!!
I remember.
“$10 on a keyboard”
Government keyboards that go through procurement. At least $1,000.
Do an internet search of the phrase “enemies foreign and domestic”.
You just might find the image of a donkey...or at the very least, a mule.
Petulant children.

>Conservatives need to LIGHTEN UP a bit,
Oh yea, ha ha, that was a fun prank. Those jokers are so funny now that they’ve moved on to such cute tricks as nationwide fraud, lawfare, inciting assassination attempts, and immanentizing the eschaton.
Or maybe if people had paid a serious price for the actions which even now some J6ers rot in jail for, not to mention the more serious damage like locks (while Hillary wipes her private server and Brandon keeps top secrets in his garage) maybe we wouldn’t be in this bind here and across the globe.
Bush had PLENTY to go after than a bunch of missing W’s.
Perhaps if he had done that, then nationwide fraud, lawfare, inciting assassination attempts, and immanentizing the eschaton, would not have happened.
Prosecuting a bunch of people for W’s but ignoring the FELONIES, thanks to his “new tone” was the problem, not a bunch of W’s.
Did you read the article above? These vandals deserved prison.
No, hardened Communists.
What a felon group wanted poster looks like.
To be honest, I don’t think they trash the place on their way out, I think they live like this habitually.
Look at the spaces they leave after a “demonstration” or Democrat gathering. It always looks like a dump, compared to conservative gatherings, which are usually pristine, minus normal wear and tear.
Sorry, but that was FUNNIER THAN HELL, which is very, very, rare for Democrats. Conservatives need to LIGHTEN UP a bit, and if necessary, fork out the $10 on a keyboard...the world won’t end.

Mail each exiting White House Staffer a small pile of Cow manure (to arrive just before Christmas). It’s harmless; and it let’s them know there are at least minor consequences for their little bitch behavior.
If that’s the way they want it, if it’s violence they want, then give them violence. I’m all for karma at a 10:1 ratio. But then again, I’ve been pretty damn sick of their BS for decades now, with most of the Republican Party sitting on its collective thumbs pretending to matter.
Locking all Democrats up unannounced a couple days before inauguration might have helped considerably as well. Too hard to jail all the guilty after the fact.
- A singular government-issued operating system for ALL voter equipment
- Federally-provided watermarked, sequentially numbered ballot paper
- A singular nationwide "ballots in-by" date certain
- A single nationwide "drop-dead" final count (adjusted by time zone)
- Uniform nationwide voter ID for ALL voters, including mailed
He should also begin preparing to retrocede the populated areas of DC to Maryland and retain Federal control of the Mall and federal enclave. We will lose on Maryland House member, but be saved from two future certain rabid extremist Senators.
As we learned with the Confederacy.
Sorry, but that one chick in the front row left, wasn’t she in Planet of the Apes? She played Zera I believe. Now what do I win?
