Did you really type that with a straight face? Or did I miss the /s tag?

They didn’t bother with that, just went straight back to old-fashioned gaslighting.

Sadly real snowflakes melt faster than these pissweasels are taking to do it.

That’s the Daily Mail’s take.
Here’s the NYT:
The accounting office said similar pranks were reported in prior transitions, including the one from Mr. Bush’s father to Mr. Clinton in 1993. ‘‘We were unable to conclude,’’ it said, ‘‘whether the 2001 transition was worse than previous ones.’’

In the not too distant future, there will be deep analysis of how and why the trump administration failed, and the answer will surely be: “Because of the post-it notes.”

There is only one way to “succeed” with Trump, as Trump betrays all of his minions. And that is to never, never do anything that can be seen as not putting Trump 100% ahead of anything else you do.
Betsy DeVos understands this.

Keep in mind, this is the federal government calculating these costs. $13-14k is probably two desks and a file cabinet.

The Daily Fail. Right. So…Stephanie Grisham isn’t the first Republican to lie about Democrats vandalizing the White House? Good to know.

Don’t worry, they’ll post a obviously-fake picture of a post it from yesterday and 40% of the country will take it as gospel. It’ll all be the fake news media’s fault for ignoring this huge story.

Sure, because it’s actually Obama and his admin that’s well known for its pettiness and complete lack of professionalism.
O_o
Seriously though; if such a thing had ever actually happened it would have been all over FB & Twitter for the last 2+ years, nonstop…
I agree that this is yet another piss-poor ‘smoke and mirrors’ attempt meant to distract the public’s attention.

In the UK, outgoing Chancellors used to leave “amusing” notes for their replacements. Just a little in-joke between colleagues. That’s until Liam Byrne’s “I’m afraid there is no money” note got brandished in front of the media by Cameron. So that doesn’t happen any more, and Conservatives still go on about it today.
That’s why I don’t believe this story. (a) Obama staffers aren’t stupid enough to give a hostage to fortune like that, and (b) Trump staffers would have had it in front of the media immediately.

Did they leave the notes IN the books? How did anyone find out?

Frankly, I’m not surprised either. But then again, even if someone did complain, it’s not like right-wing media to shriek for years about it like outraged old ninnies. So, we probably wouldn’t have heard about it anyway.

Stephie wasn’t there. ‘She’ didn’t come into the White House after President Obama and his staff left. Stephie is a liar, just like her boss.

The other big tell: these people, who gleefully will feign the slightest injury and yowl with pain to the refs whenever they can, are only now complaining about it?
What a weak, weak attempt.
The only believable part is that predecessors might have realised just how raw and unprepared their successors would be, and left notes like “The coffee machine is not a K-cup. Please remember to put whole beans in the hopper on the left side, otherwise you will fail to make coffee.”
