That family is totally in Putin’s pocket. I guarantee any important national security secrets they are told will be in the Kremlin within a week, tops.

But the powers-that-be won’t give his creepy son-in-law a clearance, will they? At least, not until Trump does it himself, when he is sworn in? There’s no way they’ll capitulate *now*? Yet? It’s still Obama’s presidency?

Call your senator and other elected officials and politely tell them they need to do something about this dumpster fire.

Yes, exactly. He has no conscience or sense of responsibility. He wants other people to do all the thinking and all the work. I’m sure he’s furious that they haven’t — yet — given his creepy son-in-law a top-secret clearance. This is a nightmare that keeps getting worse.

Then he’ll get impeached all that much faster.

Yeah, I love people who made those arguments about Hillary not protecting intel and endangering troops have now voted in a (literally) sponsored by Wikileaks president. Nice job, fellas.

This. The best argument Hillary really had about using the private server was that it was no less secure(and possibly more secure) than the government server.  

Some of us are still trying.

YES YES THIS. Did you listen to the This American Life podcast episode about this? I mentioned in another comment I worked for a fed contractor and totally understood the struggle. We cannot expect our legislators and federal employees to be able to keep up with how rapidly technology works now while working with such…

Seriously, is there any legal way to stop this shit before they steer us straight off the Cliff of We’re All Completely, Totally, and Irrevocably Fucked?

I’m so on board with the dementia theory. He was always brash, but for the past few years, it’s been on another level. Add in Ivana’s comment about how he only sleeps three hours a night and it’s clear something is very, very wrong.

I used to work for a fed contractor and had a clearance and the thing that’s really bugging me about the top secret clearance request for his son-in-law is that just having the clearance doesn’t give you permission to access information in that clearance classification. Besides having the proper clearance, you also…

I keep reading that Trump is going to be really unhappy when he realises how much work is involved in being President. Nope.

Did someone forget to order a copy of “Presidential Transitioning for Dummies”?

Look, you can post all the stories you want about Trump being ill prepared to be President of the United States of America. Even to those who voted for him, this can’t be a surprise. But for those who did vote for him, prepare for the worst economic disaster of your life. Hope it was worth it for your one day of glory…

When are y’all going to start covering Paul Ryan gearing up to kill Medicare/Medicaid via privatization and Donald Trump reversing his campaign promise not to touch those two programs?

I’m sure Mike Pence has just been telling them that they’re wrong to transition.

Oh Snap!

And thank Christ for that. Her choices are either be ostracized or be like her other siblings: Ivanka has to avoid a priapic cryptofacist father and the two Trump boys look more inbred than late-dynasty Hapsburgs.
