    Something has gone terribly, terribly wrong with the GOP.

    The Biden team is set to inherit a rolling disaster. We're now averaging 150,000 cases per day. Yet amazingly, a top Biden adviser tells me: “At present, the Trump administration is not engaging with us on any major components of the pandemic response."

    It's like they just can't bring themselves to say that the man with the ridiculous hair and ridiculous tweets who spent the better part of this year in denial about a pandemic that he eventually caught is, in fact, an unfit loser that it's time to turn the page on. Why?

    What's particularly strange about this is that pundits generally tend to adopt the posture that "winning talks, bullshit walks." Yet now that Trump lost -- decisively, I might add -- this whole savvy style has mysteriously vanished. Weird, isn't it?

    Remind me who won the presidential race again? Much punditry about it seems to have internalized the idea that if you look hard enough, you'll see that in some secret sense, Trump actually triumphed. It's the final gasp of the pundit fallacy of Trump's magical political powers.

    IRRESPONSIBLE INSANITY—Biden team still being “shut out of planning for vaccine distribution” “His advisers said they have not had access to details of Operation Warp Speed... [with] vaccine distribution planning well underway.” Via

    Maybe this is the signal that will drive the House off the sidelines. But the lesson Republicans are learning from this is that even in defeat, even over an issue that polls horribly for them, they can punch Democrats in the face and Dems won’t respond. So yay for more of that…

    More Americans will die because Trump needs to be coddled. That’s the tweet. :

    Every president, even those who left in disgrace, managed to act on their way out like they cared about the country. Until now. On his way out of office, Trump is salting the earth behind him. My latest piece:

    When Obama became president the economy was in a tailspin losing hundreds of thousands of jobs the first few months. Biden will have a massive disaster on his hands as well. The difference is that dems are serious about governing.

    "Trump’s refusal to concede is an attack on the state and democratic government." A better, more balanced, and more empirically grounded take than certain anti-anti-Trump intellectuals have offered:

    Yet more evidence that "basic governing competence" and "having a sense of shame" are underrated qualities in a President.

    The hell of it is, that 12:01pm on January 20th, 2021, Fox News will Criticize President Biden for "mismanaging the Covid Crisis"

    This is getting worse. Dr. Fauci, a member of Trump's own administration, just said on NBC that he's worried that the stalled transition could mess up the prospects for a quick vaccine distribution, reports: Meanwhile, from Team Biden:

    Trump never cared about anyone or anything else. That lack of concern is even greater now that he’s been fired. He’s taken his loss out on everyone especially covid infected Americans.

    It's time for the rest of the GOP to stop humoring the president and demand that he directs his administration to cooperate with the Biden transition. Americans shouldn't have to die so Trump can save face.

    Biden team needs info about problems afflicting vaccine distribution effort in order to take it over effectively. But right now it's radio silence. “If weeks go by it will be hard for us to do what we need to do," Biden adviser tells me. New details on coming challenges here:
