    Link.



    The apocalyptic danger here is self evident and surely does not need any explanation from me.

    Trump and MAGA plan on "blowing it all up" and the average American Citizens will suffer the pain...
    Sadly, by electing Trump, people (without even knowing it) voted against their best interests...

    After his first election, senior FBI officials maliciously discussed plans to target his cabinet. On top of that, they lied to the secret FISA court to spy on them. The DoJ and FBI have only gotten more political and partisan since then. None of those people went to prison. This is cause and effect and shouldn't be surprising. Who the hell would want to join his cabinet again based on their prior track record?

    Well, I for one am very disturbed that people can occupy the White House WITHOUT A SECURITY CHECK OF ANY KIND!!!!!

    I, for one, enjoy a good apocalypse now and then.

    during the Obama administration's early years (I know this due to being in the DOJ), Obama had to get tons of waivers for white house staff-mainly for past drug abuse offenses

    Off Topic, and getting a waiver is not the same as NO CHECK AT ALL!!!

    When you were at the DOJ, would you have been happy to share a desk and information with a colleague who had not been vetted through a security check of any kind?

    This makes sense. If security checks were properly undertaken on Trump staff (based on prior experience) half of them would probably be in prison by now.

    Oh, because the current administration is totally trustworthy and unbiased...? This the only way to avoid exactly the problem you suspect, but in reverse.

    This is dangerous, sure. But also necessary.

    This is what a bloodless rebellion looks like. ...one with a democratic mandate, it must be noted.

    Well, the good news is that maybe we'll see the Left shut up about gun control for the next four years, if they believe there's a fascist in power.

    I hope you're right ....but I think you're giving them too much credit. The ones who would actually fight 'the fascists' only want their opponents disarmed, and the ones who arent already armed wouldn't ever fight anyway.

    Huh? Are you seriously suggesting that those who voted GOP specifically were endorsing no security checks whatsoever on people occupying positions of great power in the White House?

    Seriously?

    Obama had people in his administration that didn't have security clearances. It wasn't the end of the world then, but it is now?...lol

    Like @CornPop pointed out, the current bureaucracy can't be trusted not to sabotage Trump's administration. So, Trump has no choice but to do something different. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at the bureacrats that are willing to sabotage an incoming administration. That doesn't qualify as a peaceful transfer of power.

    You literally had cocaine turn up in the White House on Joe's watch. I must have missed your outrage over security checks then.
