Trump “Looking Into” Removing Security Clearances of his “Enemies”

They deserve it …they sit by and allow these things to happen because they are too afraid of the base…you dont like it? Stand up and face the consequences of the outcome…america is more than one person.

Punishing your enemies for political statements is fascism. Just because we’re not at the gulag stage yet doesn’t mean we aren’t on that road, and Trump is doing everything in his power to get us there. Our only saving grace is he’s too damn incompetent to do it successfully.

I agree. Good friend of mine(best man in my wedding) just recently retired and got a nice position down at Belvoir

I don’t know Joanne. Punishing people you perceive as your political opposition with retaliatory actions designed to do nothing more than to prevent them access to intelligence seems like a pretty straight forward step towards fascism to me.

I’m normally loathe to use that term, but this is a terribly slippery slope here. The logical conclusion would be the party in power revoking the clearance of everyone in the opposition party. This is not good at all.

Its not fascism but it is getting into banana republic territory.

Joanne, it’s not over the top. If it was Obama doing this, you would be losing your ■■■■ right about now.

While you are educating yourself on what socialism is, do some reading up on what fascism is, too.

Yeah, I’d agree that fascism is the wrong word for it. It’s more along the lines of petty. That’s why I likened it more to a banana republic - where a government may just not have developed enough to have the finesse to handle these types of things properly. I think that’s more the case with Trump - he just doesn’t have the experience to know how to handle these type of things properly.

I’m being serious. We seem to have daily references now to Hitler, Pearl Harbor, etc.

You were explained what the pearl harbor comment was about…but you chose to ignore that for hair on fire…

Yeah, Trump ■■■■■■ up real, real, real bad in Helsinki.

I just moved out of that area. Its pretty with a lot to do, but way too expensive and congested.

Yes, that makes more sense. Of course he also does not have the temperament, which is why he was and remains grossly unfit for office.

Imagine if Obama thought about taking someone SSBI away… this board would erupt in anger and pants will be on fire

Nah, setting up your kids in government jobs and milking money of the government by visiting your own golf courses is Banana Republic, and we got there week one.

This is fascism.

You will get no argument from me on that one. But comparing it to Pearl Harbor and the holocaust is a bit over the top.

Yet you have no problem labeling D’s as socialists all the time.

Jesus…just gonna plow through with the stupid huh

¯_(ツ)_/¯ This is just what people do. You yourself had your hair on fire quite a bit over stuff a lot less crazy than this during the Obama years.

I wish I can move away at times. I live in the DC area and I’m one of those 4-1 sometimes 5-2 guys, just to beat traffic. Unfortunately I can get called in at anytime.
I agree…way to expensive too live here. Eventually once the kids get older, moving south.
