Republicans are going to destroy the world’s most powerful nation.
My heart just sank.
Cannot not have access to classified docs…/doesn’t meet requirements..
I’ll bet he uses it for evil.
They need to give him fake ones and see what he shares.
You misspelled Putin.
Might as well just send it directly to the Kremlin.
Are they going to have to dumb them down again?
(pictures, very few words, mention drumpf’s name repeatedly, to keep his attention)
otherwise. the “regular” briefings will likely go right over his head
then again, what doesn’t escape him will end up in the hands of what we consider US “enemies”…this sounds like the script to a very shitty, not very believable movie…
>In a normal world, this wouldn’t happen. No responsible party would nominate for president a person who had disclosed classified information in the past, is under credible suspicion of having stolen and concealed classified information in the present, and who is under immense pressure to sell classified information in the future.
But here we are. Isn’t anyone else nervous about this?
I need four volunteers to go back in time with me to save a gorilla. Safety not guaranteed.
For those who don’t know (and didn’t read the article), traditionally, the candidates for president get national security briefings.
This started originally so that the winner, regardless of who it was, wouldn’t need to spend weeks in catch up briefings before they could do the job.
Unfortunately, this means that by tradition, once Trump is officially named the Republican nominee, he would be eligible for these briefings again.
Expect the Trump Nearly Broke stories to stop shortly after that.
How do we think Trump would do on standard security clearance (that normal people have to pass)?

As voters, it is **our** responsibility to consider these factors, there is no mechanism for the government to apply these criteria to elected federal politicians.
I bet Trump couldn’t get Security Clearance if he had to apply for it like everyone else.
A “man” with deep ties to several terrorist dictatorships. Also finds himself in hundreds of millions, maybe even billions in debt.
This “man” is a walking security risk at this point.
And all those briefings are going to go to Putin and Russian intelligence.
Now that the headline grabbed your attention; The candidate(s) are offered a one-time intelligence briefing. They do not receive a daily briefing. They do not receive regular update briefings during the campaign. They do not receive the President’s Daily Briefing. Those only come for the president-elect, after the election in November. They are not provided with the details of how that information was collected. They are not provided with any information on any ongoing covert actions programs related to the issue being discussed. They are not provided with any operational information. Those only come after a candidate wins the election.
“I’m allowed to share classified information with whoever I want, really. It doesn’t matter, I can do that, you know. As the President I can do that, and it’s perfectly legal. I can share information with our friends, or I can share it, really with whoever I want. They say, Sir, you can’t share it with our enemies, but really I can, believe me. I can. Because I’m the President, and I have something called “Absolute Immunity”! Have you heard of that? Many people haven’t heard of it, but I said the President has it, and the courts agreed. Nobody knew this before, until I said it. My United States Supreme Court. They owe me because I put them there. And so I told them they must agree that the immunity exists, because it does. And they agreed, so now Trump can do whatever he wants! Immunity, Presidential immunity, and that’s what I have. So Putin, what’s your email address I want to send over a few things. I’m joking, of course! No, I’m not, actually, because this is serious, the immunity I granted is a serious thing, and a special thing. So we’ll see.” DONALD J. TRUMP, 3/3/24
The guy needs money – lots of money – he is at such risk for compromise, he couldn’t possibly pass a security clearance.
Have we lost our will to care at all about national security?
US system is broken… majority is ruled by the stupid minority.
Why would you assume he’s going to win?
It’ll be ok, he has the attention span, and complexion, of a goldfish with ADHD.
And he will hand that info over to his boss
The swap meet will open again. Think about this when you think it’s a good idea to stay home, not vote or vote 3rd party.
I’m actually surprised that this hasn’t been mentioned more as to the reason he’s running again.
He very well may have wanted to just walk away. But his handlers said “we aren’t done with you just yet”.
Just don’t give them to him. Make him sue, then appeal. Drag out the justice system until he loses in November.
No, it is fucking nuts that this traitor piece of shit is still walking around free, goddamn Garland, talk about fucking America in the ass with your fucking opinion instead of following the fucking law.
Russia,China,North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran? Secrets for sale secrets for sale? Trump needs to pay judgements
That treacherous asshole needs to be kept as far away as possible from any classified document, I remember when the used to execute traitors so it’s laughable that he is still around.
