Bipartisan Report ?@Bipartisanism 12h12 hours agoPowerful Senator Demands Trump Be Stripped Of Security Clearance After Death Threat http://bipartisan.report/2016/08/09/powerful-senator-demands-tump-be-stripped-of-security-clearance-after-death-threat-on-hillary/
Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, of California suggests on social media that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump should be denied national security briefings after making careless comments inciting violence against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The California Senator tweeted:
Barbara Boxer @BarbaraBoxer
Given his threats of violence, Donald Trump has forfeited his right to top secret briefings.
6:09 PM - 9 Aug 2016
Senator Boxer also had another thing to add a short while later:
Barbara Boxer @BarbaraBoxer
Inciting violence has absolutely no place in American politics. EVER. 8:10 PM - 9 Aug 2016
Considering the fact that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumps verbal diarrhea doesnt ever seem to stop flowing and is almost always followed by cheers from supporters, its truly shocking that hes not been thrown out of the election.
Trumps said a multitude of things in the past that have been jaw dropping to most sane individuals. But implying that his opponent should be shot should she become president is by far the most alarming. This is a man who could potentially run the free world and this sort of loud-mouthed, petty, violent promulgating has no place at the podium or in the White House. If this is an act, thats one thing, but the closer we get to the election the more obvious it becomes that something is seriously mentally off about the former reality TV star...

It can't be used to dump dRumpf.

He's got so many weak points that we aren't hurting for targets without it, though.

(9,114 posts)a fellow rally attendee in Pittsburgh. When I found out I was wrong about it, I had no way to tell the guy, because we hadn't exchanged numbers with each other. I did tell my brother in law that the story was no good, because I had previously told him it, too.
There's some good info on dRumpf on today (8/10) Democracy Now, from David Cay Johnston. Mob ties, tax fraud, he actually covered how dRumpf's grand dad Friedrich got into business running bordellos in Seattle and Canada, until the RCMP shut down his Canadian part of the business. Friedrich emigrated to America to dodge the draft in Germany (donnie's a chip off the old block), and donnie hates 'criminal illegal alien sex criminal Mexican' immigrants, so naturally his grand dad was a criminal immigrant who made money off of prostitution, a sex crime. The segment is around 18 min, worth viewing, but dem now also includes transcripts which can be read faster than the film segment.

(9,114 posts)We want things we say to be true and vetted, and they find reality to be very unfriendly to their cause, always.
They're still harping on their fake ACORN scandal, to pretend 'the election will be stolen', because 'everyone in America loves dRumpf'. While in reality, he's doing so much worse than the last two losing repub candidates in every category of voter. He's even polling worse among white males without a college degree than the last two candidates, and is down 'hugely' among women, blacks, hispanics. He has a lot of high profile repub defections, to boot, but somehow if he doesn't win, an organization that doesn't even exist anymore will have been involved in 'stealing' the election from him.

(9,148 posts)What would the NRA do if Trump is reprimanded for his call for assasination & dogwhistle of tyranny against the govt?
"the purpose of the Second Amendment is to overthrow a tyrannical government" ~ NRA
Key to this whole election lies with future Supreme Court nominations and both sides know it.
God speed, Sec Clinton

Presidents don't get a security clearance either, they are a security clearance. They're allowed to classify anything, or declassify anything they see fit.
