A memo circulating in Donald Trump’s orbit says that if elected he should use private firms to check appointees’ backgrounds and give them immediate access to classified secrets after taking office.
This is exactly what you’d do if your circle was filled with Russian agents.
American and want to stop this? Vote for Harris & volunteer for her campaign
Remember folks, SCOTUS has already ruled that WHATEVER THE FUCK HE DOES IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL.
There is no court, not law, no constitution, no one and nothing to protect us. This will be the last election if he wins.
It’s not hyperbole, Trump literally said that he will end democracy.
Take that quote and add the one about sending the military after people who are a problem to them, that’s absolutely the end of anything resembling our country.
Take that an consider he freaked out about 60k “to burry a fucking mexican” when speaking of an american soldier of mexican descent raped and murdered by another solider. If he can say that about an american citizen sacrificing everything for their country, he can decide who is american or not in an instant.
This one probably would have been accepted, anyway. Security clearances and classification derive from the power of the Executive in the first place. If the President wants to unilaterally hand security clearances to anyone, there was never anything to stop that besides the fact that it’s a horrible idea.
Far too much power is invested in the Executive, and that was already a problem decades before Trump was around.
Fucking traitor
this is just fucking terrifying
The issue is no one believes it. Inertia makes the world go round. Inertia isn’t just physics, it’s psychology.
They’re so inured in “you can’t do that here” that they’ll believe it right up to when he does it.
Then cognitive dissonance takes the helm.
The fuel from being skeeved out by trans people and a black President got that momentum. Now, everyone’s miserable not being able to afford life, so that will continue that push.
I think he’s winning. I don’t live in the echo chamber. I think he’s horrible. But I think he’s winning.
It is really scary how close the race is and how far he is in the lead with a lot of polls.
People out here talking about sitting this one out or throwing a protest vote out for a third party. I’m just shaking my head.
These people seem to think if they don’t vote, the Democrats will face some kind of reckoning because the voters are not “endorsing” them. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work or what anyone is then supposed to do about it under a fascist dictatorship. In fact, it’s so obviously nonsense that you have to wonder whether these people have other motives that they’re not stating.
It really depends which state they vote from, and which side they vote for.
If you’re a democrat in idaho…why even bother? The electoral college at that point insures that if you vote for a democrat, your vote doesn’t matter.
However, if you vote 3rd party it sends the message that you KNOW your vote doesn’t matter, and the system is broken.
Now, if you’re in a swing state, or even a state that could be a swing state, then you’re just an asshole if you vote 3rd party.
didn’t he already do this before for his son-in-law (jared kushner)… after the feds rejected him?
yea, the same jared kushner that scored $2 billion from the saudis as an ‘investment’.
Fuck. This. Fucker.
