Summary

Trump revoked Joe Biden’s access to classified intelligence briefings, citing Biden’s 2021 decision to cut off Trump’s access.

Trump framed the move as part of his campaign promise to target political opponents.

He also revoked security clearances for ex-officials and dismissed the U.S. archivist.

Biden previously justified barring Trump from briefings over national security concerns.

    Agree on all points. Pretty much the same arc as Reagan - he was an idiot, but people knew who he was from his acting days, and he knew how to talk to a crowd - and his simple demeanor played well with blue collar workers and rural America. Naturally his neocon shit took the world on an awful turn for the worse, opening the door to Trump.

    P.s. sorry, it’s my turn to be the ‘Reagans fault’ person. Someone else’s turn next thread

      Reagan

      It’s quite fair to point out that Ronnie Raygun and his revolution really did send this country down a very dark road. Despite all that “sunny optimism” bullshit so many fell for. You can draw a line from all the damage Ronnie set up to donvict…including Ronnie not being held account in the least for what he did.
