Michelle Obama Calls Out Trump's Refusal To Transition To Biden: 'This Isn’t A Game'

Michelle Obama shared some candid reflections Monday on the current state of the White House, calling out President Donald Trump for his refusal to concede the election and take part in a peaceful transition of power to President-Elect Joe Biden.

“This week, I’ve been reflecting a lot on where I was four years ago. [Hillary] Clinton had just been dealt a tough loss by a far closer margin than the one we’ve seen this year. I was hurt and disappointed — but the votes had been counted and Donald Trump had won. The American people had spoken,” she began.

Obama explained that “one of the great responsibilities of the presidency” is to listen when the American people speak and recalled that she and her husband had instructed their staffs to “run a respectful, seamless transition of power - one of the hallmarks of American democracy.”

“We invited the folks from the president-elect’s team into our offices and prepared detailed memos for them, offering what we’d learned over the past eight years,” she wrote.

Obama admitted that none of that was “easy” for her, as Trump had “spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger.”

“That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive. But I knew that, for the sake of our country, I had to find the strength and maturity to put my anger aside. So I welcomed Melania Trump into the White House and talked with her about my experience, answering every question she had - from the heightened scrutiny that comes with being First Lady to what it’s like to raise kids in the White House,” she wrote, adding that it was the “right thing to do” as “democracy is so much bigger than anybody’s ego.”

You gotta give them credit, they are very skilled at threatening while making it all sound very reasonable to the untrained ear.

== = =

The leftists are specifically, and specially, trained in this.

The mind numbed libtards, and MANY of the Commie educated, drink it right up.

I guess Mike is passing this advice man to man. Mr. and Mr. Obama aren’t exactly going into retirement gracefully, are they?

They should do a buddy trip, see the world. Take their prop children with them. Camp out. Roast some marshmallows. Sacrifice some children over an open fire to Moloch.

Memories that make a lifetime.

Your “husband” taught Constitutional Law.

Perhaps he can explain how this all works.

No one need get their panties in a bunch until Dec 8th. And then not really until Dec 14th.

Perhaps no game, Mooch, but you’ve not got the capability to play even tic-tac-toe, so keep your smarmy mouth shut and do what you’ve always done, hang close to a grifter so that you can survive.

She’s right, it’s not a game, it’s deadly (emphasis added) serious.

And when did the Clinton administration begin the transition to GW Bush? I seem to recall the Clintonites in the WH did significant damage to disrupt the transition. Even being so petty as to remove the “W” keys from whatever computer keyboards they left behind. The Clintons removed government property when they were forced to move out (guess she thought she’d be moving back in.). Whatever happens with Trump in 2020 I’ll always be thankful he kept Hillary from sleeping in the resident’s quarters ever again!

NO TRANSITION, no security briefings, no Kung Flu task force briefings for Biden until: 1)He demonstrates it's safe to provide him national secrets, he needs to take a cognitive test. 2) He demonstrates his mental capacity to field tough questions, none of this rehearsed crap from pre-selected media questioners. 3) It is determined that the election was legitimate.

No, Mikey...it isn’t a game.

Because if YOUR side wins, this country is doomed. That’s we’re fighting tooth and nail to make sure you DON’T.

I frequently read an anti-concervative comment by (insert name here) and wonder why anyone would care what (insert name here) thinks about anything.

Really? You Leftists thought it was a game since 2016.

Really? The Leftists thought it was a game since Woodrow Wilson in 1918!

A 10kw projector, she is.

This election IS a D’rat game. Elections have BEEN D’rat games for many decades. Her man’s elections were all gamed. Gerrymandering voting districts is a D’rat game. “Battleground states” are such only because they’ve been gamed.

Half of Americans see it now, know it now. Plainly. Obviously. Unavoidably.

The other half are covering their eyes and ears and chanting “We won!”
