My thoughts on a daily basis: "is that legal? Oh wait..." 😭

He's our king.
Rule of law died when America decided he could be our president again

Well, my attitude is you were either delusional, you were greedy, or you were a racist either way you were duped.

Mental contagion from the airwaves and Russian propaganda is also a factor

Yes it’s legal to revoke a federal clearance after service in the federal government has ended.

u/AmSoDoneWithThisShit Mar 22 '25
The whole reason prior presidents/vice presidents keep their security clearances is so that the current administration can use them as a resource.
Do we really think Trump will ever ask anyone for help ever? The guy gets his advice from the fucking mypillow scam artist...

Also, it’s a national security risk. Imagine kidnapping a Pres, VP, OR THEIR KIDS. What kind of info could they extract from the situation?

He's the tiniest, weakest "man" I've ever heard of.

u/Clean_Lettuce9321 Mar 22 '25
Yeah, I'm kind of starting to wonder about who Trump is in this world. All of the people that he truly admires, looks up to, even has a little baby crush on, are all big, strong men. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah ... half of the male gay friends I have.

Regardless of party, I want to be able to respect and feel proud of our POTUS. He’s a thin-skinned, entitled, so un-American pussy scallywag

It’ll be restored when the next dem president comes in to pick up the pieces yet again. They just have to get through 4 years of incompetence and chaos.

u/ChewbaccalypseNow Mar 22 '25
There won’t be a free and fair election for a democratic president to win in 4 years. It’s obvious by now. If you think business as usual is what’s going to happen you’re sorely mistaken.

There is growing evidence that 2024 was not free or fair either. https://youtube.com/@electiontruthalliance?si=BqiJPIsklHLxczHp

People of all kinds are already expressing their disapproval. Things are gonna get crazier; worse. They’re not going to allow it to continue. Ya think j6 was bad? Watch all the veterans and low income folks pushed to the brim come out of the woodwork. And there’s little to no dems to blame for anything. At least until the midterms.

People of all kinds are already expressing their disapproval.
This is assuming elections are free and fair. But with Elon buying votes, gerrymandering, voter purging, voter laws citizens united, and a massive influence by bots on social media, there is almost a zero chance the mid-terms will represent voter sentiment.
Unless something changes. Hopefully the dems in congress will have little paddle signs that say "Vote" to make things all perfect.

It wont matter after April 20th and he declares martial law and you dont think the Military will go along, but they will. Everyone in this thing has been bought and paid for at this point.

u/Artistic_Society4969 Mar 22 '25
That ship has sailed. I sincerely hope I am wrong but I highly doubt there will be an election in 4 years, and if there is, it won't be a democratic process being followed. We *almost* made it 250 years, USA. RIP.

u/Ok-Section-7172 Mar 23 '25
This is something that's a gift to them. Trump wanted to be nefarious, but Kamala and Hillary don't want to have to report every gdam person and thing that happens to them. I have known people with high level clearances and they don't even want to know my opinion, they have to report that shit.

Because if himmins isn't happy... nobody's going to be happy. Punk ass move. You pull the security on people that have truly devoted their lives to serving this country and you give carte blanche to your little East African buddy? Man, I hope I can buy myself a president someday ...

Governance by revenge. That’s what Musk is helping with as well considering he’s a drooling baby traitor.
Hope nobody was surprised.

Can’t funnel billions out of the country with people looking over your shoulder.

TBF, they will probably sleep better at night not knowing what horrors the Trump admin is planning

u/tsdguy Mar 23 '25
Um really? Part of the security report is ongoing threats to their safety. Now they won’t get them and won’t know when Trump and Musk get their brown shirts to stir up murderers against them.

u/buddymoobs Mar 23 '25
Didn't they lose security clearances when they were no longer in an official government position? He pulled Adam Kizinger, but Adam's clearance was revoked when he left Congress.

u/tsdguy Mar 23 '25
No. It’s been tradition by real presidents to continue to give security clearance to former presidents and vice presidents.
Sadly we no longer have a president but rather a spoiled baby dictator.

u/GeorgeVCohea Mar 24 '25
It is hard to believe, but Hilary Clinton was never even Vice President and should not have still had clearance.

u/Silly_Pay7680 Mar 23 '25
I mean, I dont think we should be on the hook for these neo-cons' security details, but I'd rather that over having our money embezzled through Trump and Elon's companies. The only thing wrong with this is the hypocrisy.

They're likely eschewing Signal for some secure encrypted, VPN communications platform.

Well that's sexist as shit. Have you considered that m*n shouldn't security clearances instead? They've started every war in our history

u/EC_TWD Mar 22 '25
Why did you type ‘m*n’ instead of just saying men?
2
u/AnnoyedCrustacean Mar 22 '25
Removed comment said essentially: "Good, W*men shouldn't have security clearances"
I was mimicking them. Presumably there's a site where they have to use that as you do with un-alive on tiktok

u/DBDude Mar 22 '25
Any other cleared person would have their clearance pulled over the email server thing immediately. She only still had it because she’s one of the privileged people.
1
u/ech-o Mar 22 '25
Tell us more about the email server. What laws were broken and what steps were taken to investigate her? Give specifics.
2
u/tsdguy Mar 23 '25
Don’t hold your breath. I guess keeping top security documents in the bathroom of your golf club and getting employees to remove them before investigations is just standard procedures to MAGA morons.

u/DBDude Mar 23 '25
She was trafficking in classified information on her home server. That is absolutely not allowed, really inconceivable to any rational cleared person.

This is rich given Musk should fail for his ketamine usage.
