I think you are hanging onto the sniper fire thing a bit too much myself. I'm aware you have a long service record, but putting Trump in charge as POTUS regrading the military would be outrageous.
And it seems he wants to let Pence handle things like that if he was elected anyway, and I am not a Pence fan by a longshot.
Trump does normally speak his mind, and it is usually a stream of garbage.
You are not going to take a security clearance away from someone who is the Secretary of State
I'm pretty sure she has access to a lot of information you have never seen in the past, no insult intended.
And like I said in the beginning of this, different subjects matter more to others. That lie matters a lot to me. Tomorrow is a 6 month mark of a close friend dying right by me, I have his name and the date tattoo'd on my right side. I rarely talk about that stuff here, it means more to me than most I admit. I fucking detest people who lie about war and things they've done to make themselves look better. No I am not saying what she said directly correlates to that. What she said was at a military base, and she tried to play up something that never happened, then denied it over and over again. That lie matters a lot to me. You don't have to agree, I am not trying to force you to. Bill has a chance meeting on a plane the day before? Yeah, ok. First time something like that has every happened? Uh huh. No records until after the election? Nice coincidence. Shes been above the law for years, as I said it is very tiresome.
I said what Trump says is nonsense, I only said that I liked he said what he thought unlike most people now days. I never once said I liked what he said.
Why wouldn't you take clearance away from the SOT? They're above everything? That is not how its supposed to work. I would argue that she should be the example to follow, not the example of what not to do. Just because she is in such a high office does not mean she shouldn't be held accountable, she should be more accountable. I work at a National Security Clearance and everyone knows the rules. You sign and agree to what policies are, she broke them and then lied about it. Just because she is SOT doesn't mean she should get a pass.
I have no doubt she has seen much more, and more "important" information than I have. I was not trying to compare, simply stating that is how clearances work. You lie, or otherwise prove yourself distrustful, you lose it. I don't know what they do in the next building to me. Because information is not shared, you do you work at thats it. Once you go into the protected area, you cannot have your cell phone, thumb drive, camera, etc. All vehicles are government vehicles, no backup camera, USB ports, GPS, etc. My Garmin watch was barely allowed. You are actually not allowed to use your cell phone anywhere on site once you enter the front gate. Which is actually kinda refreshing, nobody walking around texting, people are actually having conversations in the lunch area. But that's off topic, the point is there are rules to follow. Breaking them and then lying about it should revoke a clearance. If you don't agree then so be it. I think the same rules should be applied to all.
Literally every politician ever has lied at some point or another and they rarely admit it. Why do you think she's special?
If you think dishonesty is a problem I strongly suggest you look at both the character and frequency of Trump's falsehoods. They are light years beyond Clinton.
Yeah I understand politicians lie, especially when in the game as long as she has been. When did I saw she was special? I said I dislike them the same amount. You don't have to agree, and I don't give a fuck if you do. They're both terrible to me. Equally so, some for the same reasons, some for different.
She's been doing this in the spotlight for a very long time. I am sure you know she was kicked off a case for lying and being unethical forever ago. Nothing has changed. Obama said she would do anything to get elected in their race, which is true. Now he says nobody has ever been more qualified? Shes done far more since then to disqualify herself than qualify herself.
For the last time. Nobody has to agree that I think they're both terrible. I have been called a Trump supporter on here, but thats trolls being trolls. I have never said I support or want him elected. I am not going to go back and forth about it. They both suck, I don't want either as a President. They're both dishonest and will bend the rules for themselves. They've both lied, and say stupid things. Trump does make more idiotic statements. You can't change my opinion, I am not trying to change yours.
It is amazing to me that so many people are trying to jump to her defense, like I am being unfair. Or that people actually support and like her, wanting her to be President. I am saddened by that fact alone.
