According to CNN, the labeled boxes include “‘framed photos for the living room,” “dog supplies,” “his bathroom,” and even “cleaning supplies, box 5.”

Also spotted: golf clubs and a wardrobe full of dresses.

The Obamas are officially evicted on January 20, and as soon as they head out the door, White House staff have to begin the mad rush of arranging everything to the liking of President Donald Trump.

1. Feel so bad for the White House staff, the dread

[tenorly]

2. How I wish he could be moving into Supreme Court robes as well.

Hopefully in 2021.

3. The Obamas are officially evicted on January 20? Evicted? Seriously?

11. "Evicted" WTF, indeed.

There are times when I'm outraged and not at a shortage for words.

Then there's moments like this.

4. Borowitz: MOVING VANS ARRIVE AT WHITE HOUSE TO REMOVE ALL TRACES OF COMPETENCE, DIGNITY

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Moving vans arrived at the White House on Wednesday to remove all traces of competence and dignity.

Working around the clock, movers started clearing out the optimism and progress that had accumulated during the past eight years.

“Once we’ve packed up that stuff, we’ll start moving out the wisdom and maturity,” one of the movers said. “The guy who’s moving in wants all of that gone.”

After the movers complete their work, a cleaning crew will come in and scrub the White House of every last speck of compassion.
The movers are working under a strict deadline, since the White House needs to be totally stripped of decency by nine o’clock on Friday morning, the mover said.

“The new guy wants the place to be completely empty, ” he said. “He has a lot of crap.”

15. Excellent.. so true. Borowitz gets it right

"The movers are working under a strict deadline, since the White House needs to be totally stripped of decency by nine o’clock on Friday morning, the mover said."

Best of Everything for the Obamas in their new life.

5. Do they have a popcorn machine? They need one downstairs in that wet bar off the family room.

O'll be down there watching the clusterfuck unfold on tv.

6. McCheetohead will get a budget ...

to modify TRUMP White House Towers to his liking.

He'll no doubt waste the majority of the budget to install a gold plated throne
in his bathroom.

[aggiesal]

7. I'm sorry, they've already started remodeling ...

[elleng]

8. I suspected they'd started the process. SAD!

I attended a movie (Hidden Figures, VERY good) this afternoon, in Chevy Chase DC, and as I left the theater, a bunch of police motorcycles passed, followed by a limo. I figured it was pence going to his rented home in the neighborhood, for the evening. Ruined my otherwise pleasant afternoon.

9. Just sad to see this happening. nt

[Rustyeye77]

10. Depressing to see him leave.

Bummer

[Calista241]

12. Can you imagine being the movers that all of a sudden have to show up at the white house?

What an amazing story those guys must have.

[Cha]

13. Surreal!

And, inspiring.. I may have to move soon.
