Looks like another white supremacist. And we're trying to keep immigrants out.

Yeah it's awful. Basically after Sandy Hook the battle was lost forever. Nothing will ever move the country off this position. The NRA is a terrorist organization
My thought as well. After Sandy Hook, I just KNEW Congress was going to enact stronger gun control laws. After all, we had just witnessed the senseless slaughter of little kids. But nothing!
Today, I am once again ashamed of my country and it's so-called leaders who talk the talk but don't walk the walk when it comes to keeping us safe.
Oh, that's right, we're building a stupid wall.

Re: Political Roundtable Part XVIII
Another Republican candidate just stepped in a giant cow plop!

Timing has just not been Tannahill’s forte; but his announcement on February 13, 2018 that he would be hosting an AR-15 giveaway certainly caught a lot of people’s eyes the next day.

No wonder Don McGahn wasn't worried about Porters lack of security clearance since he didn't have it himself.
Think the question should be who has clearance likely a shorter list.
We know damn well the Trumpster himself would never have gotten it in the real world.
Hell General Flynn might have been one of the few with security clearance!!!!

Re: Political Roundtable Part XVIII
In my humble opinion this is the greatest scandal since Watergate. 130 political appointees without permanent security clearance is objectively the greatest threat to our national security in our lifetimes, and we should all be demanding infinite congressional investigations immediately.

Re: Political Roundtable Part XVIII
What is the background on this kid? I see the peanut gallery’s are already calling him a deplorable. But he is only 19 with the last name Cruz sounds like the handiwork of some liberal parents to me. Speaking of I understand he lost his mom not sure where dad is that as I’m at work today I am unable to follow. So any help on the background would be appreciated

Why is fbi holding up these clearances? I held a ts si sci back in the day and my parents were literally crack heads. My grandpa killed a guy with a tire iron in the 30’s. Kushner peeps are bankers for Christ sake.
