Perhsps I should have named the theead, "Deeper into the Trump black hole" - seems to be dragging all kinds of stuff in.

I mean, we already knew before he even ran for the Republican nomination that Trump was a racist. With constant access to Twitter, I'm only surprised that it took this long to say something this shitty. I'm more surprised that he hasn't said anything worse by now.

Jared Kushner, Trump's right hand man, has had his security clearance reduced to that of an intern. This will make it virtually impossible for him to function in his "job" ("nepotic position" being a more accurate description.)

The BBC also mention, are mentionjng at this moment, the danger that some countries, including China and N. Korea, are seeking ways to manipulate Kushner due to his business interests and personal business financial problems. This man seems a present danger (just like his father-in-law) to America in this age of Internet intrigue and the manipulation of the mood and behaviour of the citizenry of the West, especially America, by covert means.

Kushner's lawyer said that his reduced security clearance will not interfere with his job duties. That's all well and good, but it puts some big questions in my head about it. If not have the security clearance isn't impeding his job duties, then why was he accessing classified information? Isn't classified information supposed to be on a need to know basis, and if what Kushner's lawyer says is true, then Kushner has been accessing classified information without a need to know.

It's not going to affect Kushner's job... because the orange retard will just give him access to whatever he needs. I don't think Trump has the first clue about security.

Another staffer stifled? Did she jump or was she pushed for annoying the Orange 'Orror?

QuoteDonald Trump reportedly berated his former White House communications director after she admitted to telling "white lies" on his behalf.

Hope Hicks resigned after testifying for nine hours before the House intelligence committee as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

She told investigators that she occasionally had to tell white lies to appease the president, but insisted she told the truth about relevant Russian matters.

Donald Trump takes after China's Xi and thinks that "some day" America should try dictatorship, too. Naturally only under Trump or someone else as Republican and "intelligent" as him, because Crooked Hillary or something.
