John Brennan going on a media campaign blitz to complain about his security clearance being revoked.
My question is, why are any ex agents keeping access? After a transition period, a week or a few weeks, it makes sense to cut that sort of access.
I work in a hospital. If you retire, resign, quit or get fired - your access is immediately terminated and security walks you to your car. You don't keep any keys or badges. That's just for a hospital. I don't understand the necessity of keep access forever, to security clearance.

No, they can go too.
Meanwhile some bad hombres are being hustled out of the country.

This would be a hell of a career choice
I just read through that whole article.
I'm wondering why the writer didn't quote the particular lines of the bill that specifically says that "all it will take is for somebody to be accused of being transgender and that person will immediately have to strip their clothes off so somebody can look at the dick or vag".
I also would like to know why a simple copy of a birth certificate can't be used.
One last thing. Certain words and phrases used by the writer are clearly ideological and not factual. For example, "CIS". I don't think the article can be taken seriously when such wording is used that is not a direct quote from a lawmaker or part of the bill's language.

What's going on with the Israel ceasefire today?
posted by ptown_trojans_1Really? As someone like you who said you are against more needless wars, thought you would be against the end, the whole Manifest destiny part. That, in US history, has been bloody, full of wars, and led to a lot of death and destruction.
I didn't say I agreed with everything Ptown. But rather it was a great speech. I think it was the best one he ever had. But yeah, for you to equate me saying it was good to me becoming a true believer is a big stretch lol
So I just now got around to listening to Trump's speech. He still is a terrible orator imo. But whoever wrote that speech did a fantastic job. That to me was probably the best written speech I've heard since Bill Clinton's speech for Hillary in 2016.
And the fact that he bitched slapped the Dems right to their faces for all the world to see was ballsy.

I think it would suck being the child of a president, especially for teens. They can't really get into shenanigans that are the rite of passage for teens with any sense of privacy.
It's 4 right now up on my ridge. I hate it. I suppose the only good thing about these temp is it reduces the big population, which will be nice come spring/summer.

Everybody is trashing this Sanchez woman (Bezo's gf or wife) because of her choice of outfit. I'm going to say that I don't care about her clothes, because she's not an important person. Instead, I'm going to trash what it looks like when a person has had too much surgery, too much Botox and too much makeup. It's just too much all at once.
posted by friendfromlowryIf a democrat is elected in 2028 are they just going to rejoin all this shit that Trump is making us leave? Does that have to be a thing
Yup. Been a thing that each administration does. Trumps EO overturned Obama, Obama's overturned Ws, Ws overturned Clinton, etc.
The number has increased because Congress can't do shit, so the President uses their own power. There is an over reliance on EOs.
I would love if Congress could function so to limit the need for these.

posted by geeblockThat was a lot I was just saying I don’t think the current selection of billionaires is going to help you and me. We actually are on the same side on this. The dens on the other side I can actually see a path for them to help people on our level. You can feel free to disagree. Don’t get me wrong im on board and willing to give it a chance I’m not rooting against the economy just to own the right. It’s already a huge grift to start so idk. I wish Biden would have grifted 45 billion and it just be all good but that’s another convo.
I agree with a lot of this. The Dems have been shown what people are needing right now. It is up to them if they want to stay course or tack to port to keep the ship from beaching.
Trump will probably fuck something up. And when he does, his voters should call him out for it; make a ruckus. That's the only thing that politicians notice. Noise, and lots of it.
I wish I had time to pay attention to today.
I did see a pic of Melania's outfit. Bleh! Nice hat, though.
posted by ptown_trojans_1Looks like Trump pardoned most everyone for Jan 6 and commuted sentences for others.
Considering this board didn't think it was a big deal, probably support it.
Well I sure as hell don't support jailing people without charges or trial. Which is what happened with some, not all.
Wrong is wrong.

I hope he was mocking Trump impersonators with those antics. He was channeling all the most punchable people ever. All at once.

posted by ptown_trojans_1Jail huh?
Little much.
Perhaps. There are currently hundreds in federal prison for defrauding the American people. All with far less power and authority that these folks possesed.

I saw it and laughed.
Trump and his allies are going to say a ton of stupid shit.
Yep.
posted by geeblockNot sure the left has more after trump just made 45 billion, musk bezos, Zuckerberg. That would be hard but anyway what was the explanation cause I can’t find it
