    Give him credit…. He is severely mentally disabled, and still somehow getting press.

    The news I heard is they were asked to leave.

    I mean, when Rose McGowan sets the bar so high…now this makes full streaking the only option left.

    It was an early rumour that was apparently corrected. But who knows, and even more importantly, who cares? Not me. I just don't want to hear about it in the first place.

    So a little blurb from Fox news states that President Trump has revoked President Biden's Security Clearance and intelligence briefings. Does anyone else get the feeling that this is feeling like how a takeover starts? In the beginning, I felt that it was going to be a rough four years but we would get through it. Now I am not as certain.

    I mean Biden revoked Trumps. Plus Biden has his Hollywood career to focus on.

    You’ll “get through it” in the way Monica Bellucci’s character got through the movie Irreversible.

    Did he actually revoke it, or is he just saying he will? Does saying he will online count as an order? Genuine question.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn57p5r99xyo.amp

    This article words it as “says he will.” Also it says Biden revoked Trump’s security clearance back in 2021.
    I’m not saying it as a “but they did too” argument, I’m just thinking…man, some of this shit happening just because Trump didn’t slink away after one term.

    Also they took trumps away because he stole a bathroom full of classified documents on his way out.

    Former Presidents generally don't have security clearance (unless they formerly held a position like CIA director the way Bush Sr did). As President, they are the ultimate classifying authority, and therefore don't need a clearance (as they technically are the clearance). They are often granted classified briefings by the current President upon request as a courtesy, or when they may be acting as a functionary in a part of the world where there's some situation they need to be apprised of. Biden basically terminated this courtesy for Trump because, well, he's a traitor and the biggest security risk in the history of the country. Trump is now doing the same in return out of spite, although I don't imagine Biden has made any requests, or will be particularly active in foreign travel, given his age and "fuck all y'all" attitude since the election.

    No, Biden revoked Trump's for 'erratic behavior ', that's the quote used at the time, weeks after taking office, February 2021. The document case wasn't even a thing until May.

    So…most former presidents don’t even have the thing that we’re discussing as being revoked? So what does any of this matter?

    It doesn't. Shocking.

    It's almost like the main stream media is looking for sensationalist bullshit to drive outrage and clicks.

    It’s basically, Trump’s job is to make the news cycle so volatile so that Musk’s shit gets churned into the shit

    Obviously just one guy's opinion, but it's interesting seeing what's being broadcast on Canadian news compared to the US: https://v.redd.it/k6phjvu1x4ie1

    A lot of Americans really don't appreciate how uncomplicated the "Trump question" is to most foreigners, and how unvarnished their opinions about it are.

    At first I thought Donald was holding the press conference in the oval office, with him sitting behind the Desk Of Power™, in order to push back on all the "President Elon" stuff out there.

    Then President Elon comes in and takes it over.

    And spews bullshit.
