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.

    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.

        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.
