I love seeing clits on here. Really gets me in the mood to give one some kisses and licks.
She looks great. How you are both having fun here.
She should. She looks great.
I should’ve known just based on the insanity of that rate, but I think there are places in Florida that are that much or even more, so I guess that’s where my head was.
The people ultimately in charge of that work serve at the pleasure of the President. He could simply fire people until someone does what he wants. Same thing he did with the Justice department. It also could be as simple as an executive order, but I really don’t know that much about that level of the process.
$2100 a month for insurance? That might be more than my whole house payment. Paid pretty much nothing down on 175k in very late 2018 - house is apparently worth 350k now, but we’re trapped because I can’t/won’t afford to move. I’m 85 miles from the office, but I WFH and it looks like I might have to go in about once a year.
Well that’s what I get for not wearing my glasses…
I meant obviously while he was in office for the 2020 election. Just because it’s too late now doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for the future.
Potentially letting a political rival decide who is compromised is obviously not a good idea no matter who is in charge to make that decision.
If they did this, Trump could just rescind clearance from all Dems. Unfortunately, this is up to the voters.
So the question becomes who should that person be and how should they be assigned/appointed to that position and who has authority over them if they become corrupted?
Ultimately, that has to come down to the Executive (under the President), Legislative (confirmed like judges and subject to filibuster and the whole legislative process), maybe the Judiciary if you can find a way to wrangle that, which would put them under the authority of the Supreme Court, or appointed by direct election (which would 99% likely mean it just swings whichever way the President swings anyway).
That is the way our government works and none of these solve the problem of politicizing who gets clearances and who doesn’t.
Traditionally, this is under the authority of the President and he doesn’t ever get involved because why the fuck should he? But just like the Postmaster bullshit with DeJoy, the President can decide he’s going to take direct control (by firing the old person and appointing someone amenable to his wishes).
The only protection we have is for the American people to look at their own candidate and say, “No, he’s up to some bullshit and I will not support that.” And far too many of us simply won’t do that. Yeah, that skews right which means Republicans get away with more shit than Democrats do.
There is not a political solution to human nature.
