    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted President Dawg

    Every single time an incoming Republican administration removes someone from a position like this, it is treated as an outrageous norm violation, & reference to the individual is treated as paranoid wingnuttery. If you followed politics before 2021, you'd know this.https://twitter.com/PresidentDawg/status/1351184790276476932 …

    Dan McLaughlin added,

    President Dawg @PresidentDawg
    I'm sure thinking man's conservative #baskeballcrank thinks it's perfectly normal for an outgoing President to name replacement counsel at a federal agency at 5 o'clock on the Friday before he loses office. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1351180551437377541 …

        My own view is that a new Administration *should* get to have its own executive branch team - checked only by the Senate stopping the worst nominees to the top posts - and take the consequences for the policies they execute.

        But every single time a new GOP Admin comes to town - every single time - we get an avalanche of stories complaining about how awful it is that they're getting rid of previous people, scrubbing website policy statements, etc. Sorry to those of you who were born yesterday.

        Gonna be fun watching #Resistance Twitter pretend nobody remembers anything they said the past four years about executive powers.

        Is there something different about making political appointees in the lame duck sessions? How about when these appointees are unqualified and hyper partisan?

        And every time a Democrat appoints anyone to a non-confirmation position during the interregnum between election and inauguration you people treat it as a socialist Trojan horse, wingnut. Were you born in 2008?

        Now you’re using condescension to defend a cynical argument made in bad faith, ok.

        That's all he ever does. Setup a bad faith argument, then line up strawmen and movable goalposts when he's called out on it.
