I am going to presume that everyone \u2013 and I mean every single human being \u2013 has his or her limit on the amount of nonsense\/malarkey\/bullsh** they can take.<\/p>\n

President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. is, um, one of those human beings. He currently is enduring what is certainly an unprecedented example of bad behavior from an individual who has just lost a presidential election. That would be, of course. Donald John Trump.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden is proceeding apace with his transition into the presidency. He is doing so without a single lick of cooperation from Trump, who tradition suggests would offer his successor all the perks of the office to ensure a seamless, orderly transfer of power.<\/p>\n

But \u2026 ohhh, no<\/em>. That ain\u2019t happening! Trump has decided so far that he won\u2019t concede. Nor will he offer the president-elect any sort of help. Some of that refusal, I hasten to add, includes matters of vital national security.<\/p>\n

Tradition tells us that the outgoing president offers the new president access to top-secret information. The president-elect usually is given daily presidential briefings, the kind of thing that supposedly occurs with the current president; except that Donald Trump can\u2019t be bothered\/bored with DPBs. Joe Biden isn\u2019t wired that way. He is steeped in government, owing to his 36 years in the U.S. Senate and eight years as vice president.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden is saying publicly that he is proceeding with the transition as if everything is just fine. But it isn\u2019t. It\u2019s not even close to being just fine.<\/p>\n

That brings me back the beginning of this blog. Everyone has his or her limits.<\/p>\n

I am going to hope that President-elect Biden\u2019s limit far exceeds the kind of limit I would bring to this matter were I involved.<\/p>\n

President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s mind and heart are comforted, I am quite certain, by the inevitable arrival of Inauguration Day \u2026 at which time we can say \u201cso long and don\u2019t let the door hit you in the \u2026 \u201c<\/em> you know, to Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n
