    The poll is the typical dishonest hackery we have become accustomed to with this poster.

    No, but it is prudent to revoke them for on people who were fired for abusing their authority or those who leave their job and go to work for the media.

    So far, the facts are proving him right again.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Well many appointees and other bureaucrats seem to be able to keep theirs.

    And that was when President Obama was telling us that our election system is impossible to rig or even influence. Was he unaware of the supposed Russian attemps to influence our election or was he just covering up the corruption of his administration?

    The question is, why? Just because that's the way it's always been? That's not a good enough reason.

    Ex high office security personnel DO need the clearances because new high office security personnel need the "exs" to help guide them on targets and contacts.

    Dude; why in - the hell - do you support Donald Trump?

    No actually the facts continue to prove how silly and stupid your posts are; but of course that's the job of the far right-wing troll isn't it.
