Hey, the quote you're purporting to be from Jamie Raskin is not true. He did not say that at all. Please don't spread misinformation as we constantly know the other side is doing. He did speak about the 14th amendment & that it was already happening in reference to Drumpf, but did not say they wouldn't certify. Why do you think Drumpf delayed delayed delayed? Because as everyone has been saying, he wanted to avoid jail. Because if convicted of insurrection, he couldn't be president. Apparently when rich enough, the law doesn't matter. As we see before our very eyes. Everything else you said is spot on though! Definitely we should march & speak up loudly about the 14th amendment insurrection clause. This sh*t is ridiculous!

Sadly, I don't think it will matter, his "appointments" are somewhat strategic (if Txxxx can be accused of such a thing), they are the heads of what might be called the "enforcement" arm of the government, AG, DNI, JCOS et al, as well as planning on gutting military leadership, and sacking generals, this is so that all of the LEAs, as well as the military have leadership loyal to *him*, and not the constitution. I believe that once he has done this, he will attempt to purge congress itself of any Republican, as well as Democrat, not sufficiently loyal to him, and will do it at the point of a gun. The only question in MY mind is, why *wouldn't* he do this? The time for the courts, and the constitution to be useful unfortunately, was the last four years, I don't believe they will be using it, other than where convenient, and to placate media organizations, they certainly won't be taking any oaths they took to it seriously, they never have before, why would they begin *now*?

Security clearance is required when it comes to info regarding national security I read. Several of the nominees will need that info, so...they must pass clearance. Trump too.

Sounds good but certainly untrue of trump. He didn't qualify in 2016, was given it anyway. Ivanka and Jared didn't qualify, but trump demanded they be given security clearance anyway, and they were. Already in 2024, for security clearance vetting, they aren't using the federal agencies, they are using a private company. That shouldn't be possible, but apparently it is.

This is true. I used to work on classified aerospace programs. It took 6 months for me to receive my clearance from the FBI extended background investigation. I knew that when Jared Kushner received one that the FBI had been compromised. I was outraged! WTF was Congress?

If we the people do not call for it then it is our fault. We are the ones who elect the idiots we get what we put in. Call for his rejection!

Agreed. We don’t need mendacity; we have plenty of verified idiocy, ignorance, and prejudice from Il Douchébag’s history to use.
