Your country is destroying itself from within.

nakida.bsky.social•97 days ago

But they will still get classified info???

jc420.bsky.social•97 days ago

On a need to know basis, which will almost assuredly be determined exclusively by Trump.

feministx.bsky.social•97 days ago

Hell... HE doesn't pass the security checks.

kiwisnowy.bsky.social•97 days ago

What is going to happen if he doesn’t sign the transition agreements? If he doesn’t sign he shouldn’t be in the position. What does he believe he can get away with by not signing?

iglover.bsky.social•97 days ago

He does what he wants without any consequence. Recipe for even worse behavior.

bluerose55.bsky.social•97 days ago

Isn’t that the point? Trump and his bff Putin are working to destroy the US from within. This includes the “normal” way of doing things. I’m sure Vlad has been getting the classified briefings this whole time. He probably explains them to frump.

Mobsters are as mobsters do.

anders67.bsky.social•97 days ago

I hope allied states keep some security info far away from the US, because who knows where they'll end up.

terry-scott.bsky.social•97 days ago

Remember when Jared couldn't pass the background check and DJT forced it through, because he could.

Good times.

akpola.bsky.social•97 days ago

And what will the rest of America do, nothing. Trump can and will do whatever Trump wants since the rest of America has decided to just watch their country go down the drain. Trump can appoint the worst criminal to any office, nobody will challenge it. Never believed the US could be taken over.

This is what we have for “ being nice” , “ they go low we go high”, “ politically correct”. There is no turning back now due to the cowardice of our democratic leaders.

gusjeffery.bsky.social•97 days ago

Biden needs to sign an executive order to get this done ASAP. If my hunch is correct. This could be a national security threat like we have never seen before.

neilpbowen.bsky.social•97 days ago

By 2029 the cost of rampant corruption by the Trump Administration is going to run into thousands of Dollars per American taxpayer

trista7488.bsky.social•97 days ago

He can’t even pass a security clearance.

Scary times!!

jpylko.bsky.social•94 days ago

True!✋💙

Until it isn’t, ask Louis XVI.

Including himself.

That should never happen

proudtds.bsky.social•97 days ago

Just one more sign of things to come. Hitler Lite is going to make the US into that "banana republic" he kept talking about.

LAW AND ORDER

Welcome to the fall of America in real time.

erincowgill.bsky.social•97 days ago

How do we allow this? I mean, I know, but at the same time, how?

pteyou.bsky.social•97 days ago

I was thinking the same thing. We’re just watching this unfold. After it’s burned down what will we say? “We should’ve done more”. I don’t know.

Jacqueline Singh the Cybersecurity Lead of the 2020 Biden campaign has written a letter with grave concerns about the 2024 election and the need for a forensic audit

This approach is tailor-made for “Putin’s pick” for intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Trump can’t afford to have her vetted if he wants to keep his handler happy.

rudelyvangelder.bsky.social•97 days ago

I suppose another "benefit" — if you're Trump — is that any event occurring early in 2025 can (and will) be blamed on Biden / FBI not allowing classified briefings.

Not that giving these people briefings would likely help prevent anything :/

perfect1yflawed.bsky.social•97 days ago

Biden should start vetting them now.

gemco13.bsky.social•97 days ago

Trump himself wouldn’t pass FBI vetting!!

bstnboy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Convicted felons couldn't. 😎😎

el-jay.bsky.social•97 days ago

This is absolute bullshit. WTAF?

cyranokale.bsky.social•97 days ago

Okay. I don't know what else to say.

twylado.bsky.social•97 days ago

He sure wouldn't. He wouldn't pass a security clearance to work at a nonprofit, let alone any government position.

jc420.bsky.social•97 days ago

I bet they'll even skip out on briefing and debriefing, as well as completing contact reports.

hurdman82.bsky.social•97 days ago

This should be written into law that any cabinet member and people with access to sensitive information pass the appropriate background checks.

bstnboy.bsky.social•94 days ago

It's a requirement, no penalty for not complying.

bstnboy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Laws mean nothing to these fuckers.

Even if there were a penalty, lardass likely would pardon them.

hurdman82.bsky.social•97 days ago

Totally normal for people who have access to our most sensitive information to not be able to pass a background check, nothing to see here.

sarcasmoultrablam.bsky.social•97 days ago

Y'know what? A simple executive order and they can't do that..is Joe too toasted to even raise a finger now?

harryanna.bsky.social•97 days ago

Why the fuck does the President have the power to do that?

Don't they still have to be approved by Congress?

jamesleb.bsky.social•97 days ago

I'm wondering if his kids are going back to the white house.

miscellany101.bsky.social•97 days ago

Since he's now in control of DOJ and can fire anyone there he likes can't he just expect vetting to be no more than rubber stamping his picks? We shouldn't be surprised there will be evil people in his cabinet that slipped in. Trump is evil and wants them there. This is what we signed up for
