So just to be clear...

To the Trump administration an individual who is suspected of domestic abuse, or has lied on their security clearance forms (Porter and Kushner respectively) should have access to classified documents.

An individual who has never been found to be a security threat, who does not have a history of lying on their security forms, but who's only fault is that they criticized the president should not have security clearance.

Tell me again why we should be so concerned about Hillary's handling of email documents?

That's DEFINITELY not true. There are very liberal and very conservative and very moderate people that refuse party ID. Its more about not wanting to be pigeonholed.

What Lolmiller said doesn't contradict that.
 
Remember the Bernie Bros said there was no difference between the candidates. Surely Hillary would be doing the same thing. :rolleyes:

Yeah, have to second this. I think there are a lot of not just straight Republican voters, but also straight Democrat voters who class themselves as independent. I suspect it's as much as keeping options open as not wanting to be pigeonholed. I'd guestimate it's probably close to an even split: about 1/3rd Democrats in all but name, 1/3rd Republican in all but name, and 1/3rd in-between. Completely unscientific WAG based on personal experience, there, just as a warning :)

You're both right. I misunderstood or misread his post. Oooops.
 
More on the security clearance revocations.

Turns out McCabe and Comey don't even have clearances any more and Clapper and Brennan don't care. IOW Trump's claim the people are using said clearances for political reasons and financial gain doesn't have a leg to stand on. So Trump's excuse is as full of **** as he is.

Trump full of ****** Say it isn't so.
 
Other workers, like Todd Grizzle, a 25-year-old maintenance technician, said he could see both sides of the tariff debate. But his memories of the closing of Columbus Casting on the city’s South Side are still fresh.

Once the nation’s largest foundry, the century-old complex employed 800 people when it filed for bankruptcy in 2016. “There was a flood of people looking for work,” Mr. Grizzle said.

The red-brick factory, which looked like something out of Dickens and covers 90 acres, is being demolished. The lesson that Mr. Grizzle said he had learned was that American jobs needed to be protected.

“I like the idea of the U.S. having allies,” he said. “But if this can bring more jobs back to America, that’s a good thing.”

Yet again Trump supporters show what a bunch of stupid suckers they are. Despite his constant blunders, epic failures and being a barking buffoon without a clue they still maintain faith that Trump knows what he's doing. They feel that in the end everything is going to work out and that they can trust him.

President Donald Trump is considering revoking security clearances for ex-CIA Director John Brennan and other Obama-era critics of his administration.

The White House named six former intelligence, law enforcement and national security chiefs.

Press secretary Sarah Sanders said they had "politicised and in some cases monetised their public service" to make "baseless accusations" about Mr Trump.
 
trump tweets

"When you hear the Fake News talking negatively about my meeting with President Putin, and all that I gave up, remember, I gave up NOTHING, we merely talked about future benefits for both countries. Also, we got along very well, which is a good thing, except for the Corrupt Media!"

" A Rocket has not been launched by North Korea in 9 months. Likewise, no Nuclear Tests. Japan is happy, all of Asia is happy. But the Fake News is saying, without ever asking me (always anonymous sources), that I am angry because it is not going fast enough. Wrong, very happy!"
 
Trump Tweets

"The Amazon Washington Post has gone crazy against me ever since they lost the Internet Tax Case in the U.S. Supreme Court two months ago. Next up is the U.S. Post Office which they use, at a fraction of real cost, as their “delivery boy” for a BIG percentage of their packages...."

"....In my opinion the Washington Post is nothing more than an expensive (the paper loses a fortune) lobbyist for Amazon. Is it used as protection against antitrust claims which many feel should be brought?"

I wonder why Twitter hasn't banned him for Terms of Use violations, and for that matter, I wonder what would happen if they did.

Twitter needs to decide if its rules mean anything. If there are special rules for Trump then there need to be special rules for people who reply to Trump. Forget the court case, if Trump can break all the rules, he should be blocked from blocking his respondents.

I believe Twitter already did that.
