Weed might as well be Tylenol. Cocaine is their choice of drug

Depending on your clearance level, the usual interval is 7 years for a TS/SCI. There are programs that require a lower time interval. Polys are amusing times depending on Agency.

If they removed drug testing requirement from the federal work force their would be a lot more qualified people working there. If there is one thing this new administration can accomplish I hope it is allowing people who use cannabis products to work for the government.

I don’t know how a dude who blatantly smokes weed on a video podcast can have any clearance.  It’s literally one of the questions on a minimum background investigation, much less a Secret or Top Secret.

They should give Muskrat his own special level of security clearance with very particular secrets. When Putin starts talking about America’s new Shiba-class spy satellites, we’ll know exactly how intimate Elmo gets with Daddy Vladdy on his ketamine-fueled phone calls.

Yeah, imagine being in a photo with Trump and Vance and easily appearing to be the most deranged of the three.

Yes, depends on the level. The higher it is the the less time in between investigations.  It is periodically.

The lede pic is like a glimpse into a future wax museum exhibit on “super creeps of the 21st century”

What a terrifying picture you led with. Wasn’t expecting something like that when I first open the site. 

as dependable as one of 47's cabinet appointees

God, why is he still a thing.

People were traveling from all over the country to go to Tennessee for Saturn’s annual owner gatherings, at their own expense. People WERE enthusiastic about their Saturn cars — the real ones, not the later rebadged models. There is a market for affordable and reliable transportation; Saturn was addressing it far…

Nah. Trump’s way too cheap to actually use solid gold. It’s gold plate, at best. More likely gold leaf. Or even just gold-colored paint. He likes his properties to look flashy and glamorous, but he cheaps out everywhere he possibly can.

I still think it’s *amazing* how easily triggered some right wingers are. A brand makes the tiniest, slightest, performative sop to a minority group, changing nothing whatsoever about the brand, in an effort to make more money (a purely capitalistic move, in other words), and they absolutely lose their minds over it.

Oh don’t worry, Mr Trump.  I’m sure the deregulation you have in mind will absolutely fix those kinds of problems.

Uh oh, someone got twiggered. I’ve got a safe space you can use if you want to cry out all your angries.

Well, tell Boeing to hurry up, then. I’m sure everything will be fine if they rush it a little.

I’m all in favor of Boing rushing production and taking every shortcut it can think of to get him his plane. 

Perhaps the Russian airline has a couple of planes they can give Trump.

Ten bucks says the asshole will demand they put his name in giant letters on the side of the plane.
