    Russian bots don't understand the first amendment, as it has not been programmed in their logarithmic DNA

    Clearly you don't understand the first amendment if you think that it is relevant in this instance. Things you say absolutely can and will get your security clearance revoked.....are you calling yourself out for being a Russian bot?

    Here's a prime example. Michael Flynn has made many negative comments about Obama while he was president. Did Obama revoke his clearance? He chanted "lock her up" in regards to his former Secretary of State.

    Trump Derangement Syndrome is a curious thing.

    It appears to afflict both sides of the political spectrum.

    Russian bots are programmed to lie, making up convenient false claims without giving any eg


    what to believe,

    • the considered opinion of retired Colonel McRaven, a partriot who had served the US military w distinction, having led his SEAL team to bring down bin Laden or
    • the convenient lies by Russian bot, Bobbi small ?

    What an easy choice !

    You realize that you haven't disputed anything I've said right? Also, using a random vet for credibility when talking to a vet isn't the best thing you could have done. I have personally revoked security clearances for things people have said....so sorry kid, you can't convince me that isn't something that happens.

    Did you revoke them because they said mean things about you?

    It's as if you are afraid of bringing in the full context here.

    So Obama would be justified(not legally, but through precident and sound moral judgement) to revoke your security clearance for the literal thosuands of negative comments you have made in regards to him?

    What are you even talking about? Do you even know what the security clearances are used for? Man it is like talking to an uneducated child.

    I thought you had made that phrase up initially and I thought it was pretty funny to be honest. Then I saw on Fox News that it was a buzzword being used and it made me really sad.

    It's a pretty old phrase that has been used to describe people afflicted with that condition since at least the campaign. Hell I had people accusing me of it at one point because I was an original "Never Trump" person.....and still am BTW. If they got it from Fox News, so be it, I think it's an accurate descriptor in certain situations so I'll still use it when I think it's valid.

    Factually inaccurate. I don't walk, look, or talk like a duck.

    Then why not revoke everyone's security clearance who is not in the gov't? Why single out your critics?

    unless you need a security clearance for your current job, then it should always be revoked. Brennan's job as NBC windbag doesn't require a security clearance.

    So all former intelligence agents should have their security revoked? Is that what you are saying?

    If so, you're advocating an action that would weaken our nation.
