This ought to be fun

The Trump administration has begun the formal process of planning for a potential transition of power if presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins.

The administration sent a report outlining its transition activities to two congressional committees on Wednesday night, announcing it has created a transition planning group -- the White House Transition Coordinating Council, which will advise executive departments and agencies on preparation for a potential transition -- and detailing other aspects of a handoff between administrations.

A second panel, the Agency Transition Directors Council, primarily coordinates the transition within agencies. The Office of Management and Budget recently ordered all agency heads to pick career officials to participate in the latter group, which is due to meet on May 27.

The law requires both groups to be established six months ahead of a presidential election, according to the Presidential Transitions Improvements Act of 2015.

All those months of the Obama administration's preparation for transition went to waste, because the Trump administration didn't show up for the hand-over meetings. Trump's team will only need to produce a 3x5 card with three words on it to explain their administration: Fuck everything up.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
