The policy processes have atrophied or have been sidelined."

Biden also accused the White House of stonewalling his transition team, especially in matters of defense policy. The president-elect referred to these alleged holdups as obstruction on the part of the outgoing administration.

Can’t be.

Trump had a meeting in the Oval Office where he told everyone to do everything by the book.

what? Biden is talking about the US restoring a world leadership role? (Like Trump was doing?)

That’s a direct contradiction to Biden’s former 8-yr stance and apology tour that America was nothing special.

Joe BiteMe unsealed names a week before he left office in 2017. How much of that information was shared with incoming President Trump?

Go blow, Joe.
