Sonic Youth Gossip - Is Trump really a serious contender for the Republican nomination?

White House whistleblower says 25 security clearance denials were reversed during Trump administration

A White House whistleblower told lawmakers that more than two dozen denials for security clearances have been overturned during the Trump administration, calling Congress her “last hope” for addressing what she considers improper conduct that has left the nation’s secrets exposed.

Tricia Newbold, a longtime White House security adviser, told the House Oversight and Reform Committee that she and her colleagues issued “dozens” of denials for security clearance applications that were later approved despite their concerns about blackmail, foreign influence or other red flags, according to panel documents released Monday.

Newbold, an 18-year veteran of the security clearance process who has served under both Republican and Democratic presidents, said she warned her superiors that clearances “were not always adjudicated in the best interest of national security” — and was retaliated against for doing so.

“I would not be doing a service to myself, my country, or my children if I sat back knowing that the issues that we have could impact national security,” Newbold told the committee, according to a panel document summarizing her allegations.

Newbold added: “I feel that right now this is my last hope to really bring the integrity back into our office.”

yeah, WTF was she thinking, she's hardly invincible. If she'd retired midterm O 1 or O2, I don't think Republans would have been able to stop a Merrick or other.

Billo:

“The progressive wing, the far-left wing of the Democratic Party, doesn’t want any part of Joe Biden, for a number of reasons. Number one, he’s white. They don’t want a white candidate if they can get a person of color. Number two, he’s a capitalist. Whoa! They don’t want that. This is the far-left progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Number three, he’s not politically correct. He says stuff like, ‘Oh, Vice President Pence is a good guy,’ and they went wild because Pence is a very religious man who doesn’t believe in gay marriage,” O’Reilly said.

He continued, “So you had to derail Joe Biden, now how could you derail him? He’s got a pretty good reputation within the Democratic Party. President Obama likes him. Well, you’ve got to bring out the playbook. And what does the playbook say? You want to attack somebody and destroy them? ‘MeToo, MeToo.’”

Even after all we have been through since Jan 2017, I had to wonder if that was actually fake. He cannot be that stupid and ignorant, can he? (And wtf is a "pol"?)

"That country....."

"Take from the USA....."

Fucking mind boggling!! I'd like to think that all this will cause Florida to not go Trump's way. But, I will never comprehend Florida.

Vice President Joe Biden: "I said, 'You're not getting the billion.' I'm going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: 'I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money,'" Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.

Bank records show that Hunter Biden's American company Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC regularly received money in its account (usually more than 166 000 dollars per month) from Burisma from spring 2014 to autumn 2015 of the year - exactly during the period when Vice President Biden was chief US official involved in Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia.

Is it coincidence or collusion that Vice President Joe Biden spent 36 Hours In Ukraine in April 2014?

Before you answer that question......just a reminder that “The Black Ledger” was the beginning of the Steele Dossier:

A member of the Ukrainian parliament accused in his home country of interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was identified in congressional testimony in October as a source for opposition research firm Fusion GPS.

Show us the fucking Mueller report!!! It seems that some on Team Mueller do not think that Barr's summary painted a very accurate picture.

Did you guys see what Trump said about wind energy / noise?

It's so fucking moronic that I cannot post it here.

^ It's insane. He thinks wind power causes cancer but is fully in support of reviving the coal industry to its former glory. Don't forget how us damaging our earth and ridding it of our natural resources is all just a big hoax either. I could kill him.

Also apparently he's turning over the inspections of pork products over to the pork industry and taking it out of government regulation.

This dude can get fucked. I hate this Libertarian "let the free market" take care of it nonsense. There are government regulations in place to keep us safe and he wants to rid them all so he can build his dumb wall, line his pockets, line his friends' pockets, and take a crap in a golden toilet on the moon.

Get fucked, dump.
