So there is a really real discussion within the Federal Government if Trump supporters in the Govt should be subject to a security review to have their clearances revoked for Anti-American sentiments and activities.
I cant even have a security review to have clearance before I get a job that requires it (and then what happens if you don’t?) but these people aren’t even reviewed?
Fuck, you want to talk about compromised information, that’s a fuckload of security risks
Review used to be every five to ten years, but the Biden Administration changed it to five last year for all clearances. What’s being discussed is if MAGA supporters should be reviewed deeper as they are a threat to National Security. Generally speaking how someone votes has not been an issue for clearance unless you were a member of the Communist party. The problem now is that being a member of the Republican Party doesn’t mean you support Trump but if you do support him you lable yourself as a threat. It’s a slippery slope. Security clearance checks scan your entire internet history going back seven years. We are seeing clearances denied due to Xbox conservations, loads for social media comments. The Security form you fill out requires you list every online handle you used over the last seven years. To not list one would be a criminal offense. So it’s become a problem that MAGA is running into, their online history is creating red flags. The discussion is do they start treating MAGA like Communists and blanket ban them from public service.

Wait. Hold on a fucking minute.

every online handle over 7 years?
oh well, guess I’m really not going into DoD work now. I probably have a dozen or so that I don’t even have the username saved for.
This level of transparency is dystopian.
