I don't remember Obama's aides bringing out multiple boxfiles of documents to go with him on Marine One when he left office.

This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

f.cks off to the strains of My Way.

That would be My Way, a song celebrating living life as a complete douchebag, and one for egomaniacs to listen to on repeat, as Slobodan Milosevic is reported to have done whilst awaiting trial for crimes against humanity.

Haggard Hawks likewise. So far today they've done,

To DETENEBRATE something or somewhere is to rid it of darkness.

To THRIMBLE is to part with or hand something over grudgingly and reluctantly.

And their word of the day is DIORTHOSIS (n.) the act of putting things in order or correcting an earlier error

So far this week A.Word.A.Day has done:
diversivolent (adjective: Desiring strife) on Monday;
smatchet (noun: An insignificant contemptible person) yesterday;
mensch (noun: A decent, upright, honorable person) today.

They'll then do the old Vaudeville classic of an endless stream of clowns policemen emerging from the back seat.
