Well, that is authoritarian BS, because I can be religious and a humanist. Your tribe doesn't own words. So you are inconsistent in that humanism can be done based on the supernatural.

I do not believe humanists, and by the way scientists have anything remotely to do with the supernatural nor base anything on it, ah nor this thread.

Sorry for making this response, @mikkel_the_dane your off topic.

Breaking news and one thing that absolutely should be done:

First on CNN: GSA tells Biden that transition can formally begin - CNNPolitics

The General Services Administration has informed President-elect Joe Biden that the Trump administration is ready to begin the formal transition process...
...
"GSA does not dictate the outcome of legal disputes and recounts, nor does it determine whether such proceedings are reasonable or justified," she wrote. "These are issues that the Constitution, federal laws, and state laws leave to the election certification process and decisions by courts of competent jurisdiction. I do not think that an agency charged with improving federal procurement and property management should place itself above the constitutionally-based election process. I strongly urge Congress to consider amendments to the Act."

I demand to see Biden's birth certificate!

No, not that one. I want to see the real one.

What if he's not really Joe Biden? Lets get a DNA test.

What if he's a clone? We'll ask him personal questions to trip him up.

Drug test. Drug test. Drug test.

Next a psychological exam. What is his favorite color? Oh...wrong color. Sorry, Joe.

And quite possibly because she is beginning to realize that denying a start just might result in legal action against her. Sometimes, a little scare can do wonders to induce people to do the right thing...

It seems Biden isn't going to apologize to the GSA on behalf of his team threatening her. I didn't even see him give a thank you. Some people might call that basic human decency, especially considering how serious she was about making sure she did the right thing in the face of people who thought it was socially acceptable to harass her. But I suppose that people have other ideas about what constitutes humanity.

How do you know it was his team threatening her? I heard tale that many Republicans were starting to climb down her throat too. By keeping the transitioning from happening she was putting Americans in danger.

Yeah, New Atheist anti-theists have hijacked the word and added their physicalism to it.

How is it that with the fact that Kant died long ago, anything remotely close to a rational and justified argument in regards to philosophy. I mean the classical law in logic of non-contradiction is over 2000 years old. Does it mean that we shouldn't use it?
What are you trying to say?

Biden team considers suing over delay in recognition by federal agency
Biden transition team threatens legal action if GSA doesn't deem him 'president-elect'

Biden himself acknowledged legal action against the GSA was on the table. Do you think the news exaggerated? The GSA Administrator wrote a formal letter to Biden. He should've received that letter and reacted appropriately.

She also received harassment from people not directly tied to the Biden campaign.
GSA chief says she faced threats to family, staff and pets for holding up Biden transition

I think she has reacted very professionally. The putting Americans in danger story sounds to me like fear-mongering. I am sad to see people who succumb to fear and hate harassing a person trying to fulfill her duties to the best of her ability. I think she deserves an A+.

The threats I'm sorry about but the legal actions were warranted, it was dangerous for the american people for her to disrupt the transition of the president.

Of course threats by anyone are absolutely unacceptable, and should be investigated and prosecuted strongly. Too many people seem to think it is ok to threaten violence whenever something bothers them.

But I find it interesting when people who defend Trump’s right to take any and every possible litigation to court, but suggest that Biden is out of line for considering filing a complaint.

People are ignorant. Thats why.

Transition should take effect once the Electoral College votes have been cast and the results officially tabulated in December.

Maybe its fixed after all since transitioning seems to have been givin the green light before the Electorate has even voted.

Shady stuff but thats the kind of people we have now.

It seems that your approach wouldn't leave enough time for all the security screenings and the like that are needed for the new government's appointees. So which option are you arguing for?

1. Leave nobody in charge for a few weeks while the security screenings are done, or

2. Entrust people with secret information before it's clear they can be trusted with it.

You mean like what happened in 2016. And in 2008. And in 2000. And in 1992. And in 1988. And in 1980. The transition always begins before the electoral college votes.

There is no reason it should be different this time.

You do realize that you are the one advocating that things should be different.

So you don't find it rather odd to see this occur before the electoral vote?

Besides this wasn't the norm prior to the early 60s.

Around the time I was born. The transition act was implemented.

Implementation of the 1963 Presidential Transition Act

It wasn't standard practice for most of the countrys history.

No, I don’t find it odd. I find it odd that people are suddenly have a problem with it because the Oval Office Infant is have a temper tantrum.

There are a lot of things that need to get done before a new administration can start running things. Security alone takes time.

Did you have an issue with this before now? Be honest.

I'm skeptical that her waiting 3 weeks to give the go ahead endangered Americans.

Biden's free to file a complaint.

It was suggested that the GSA Administrator was motivated to give the go ahead for transition because she was afraid of Biden's lawsuit.

Maybe she was. Sometimes the threat of legal action causes people to do the right thing.

Why should this year be any different? Biden won, this is the way things have been done for a long time now.
