As far as we know, Trump did not furiously defecate all over the resolute desk as he left office just before the Secret Servcie would have hauled him. Therefore, democracy works.

"He left peacefully after inciting a riot" is a *problem*, not a justification.

Does this guy think the Whitehouse just has a single deadbolt that Trump could have changed?

Can someone point out that the *only reason* he didn’t chain himself to the desk is because his lawyers told him he would go to jail if he refused to leave. That is no longer true after today’s ruling.

After you attempt a violent coup different standards should apply to your mode of departure.

Also, didn't smear the walls like the J6 traitors did, didn't take down the curtains that he himself chose just 4 very short years ago; clearly a man of integrity and adherent of peaceful transfer of power. How could you miss that?

Dear editor, Your recent article failed to include that the outgoing President did not chain himself to the desk or change the locks, which he is constitutionally entitled to do. PS- I am not a crank

I want to hear more about the alternate universe where Trump changed the locks to the White House. Like in mid December, Trump tells the Secret Service, "There's a locksmith coming today to do some work, so just stay out of his way."
