  • ‘You Don’t Care?’: GOP Senator Shocks ABC Host With Take on Background Checks for Trump Picks

  • That was fucking insane. I remember being dumbfounded to learn that the clearance agency had fired all of the investigators from that contractor, only for a new contractor to rehire them all and win the contract to process clearances again. Horrorshow.

  • In my experience, if you're white, male, and have a semblance of your shit together, you'll be done in 6 months or less. I've seen minorities stuck in the process for years, despite having the squeaky-cleanest of records. (On the flip side, I heard a rumor that someone in the building recently got their reinvestigation processed successfully despite having recently received their 3rd DUI...) The exception to that is if you're in the military, as the government will have a record of anything you've ever done, and if you're an officer then you probably already have a clearance to begin with.

  • I understand you feel like that's vindictiveness, but hear me out - given that rural, agricultural, and Rust Belt states swung wildly towards Trump, I don't think it's unfair to instead think of that as justice.

  • The Amazon reviews thing I assume is referring to Fakespot, which Mozilla bought some time ago.

    But I'm confused about their "AI'ed it up" comment because from the very beginning Fakespot was using ML to determine the tone of reviews and whether or not they were lying about the product/paid reviews by the seller.

  • Make no mistake: this Trump presidency will continue to attack abortion rights

    Jump

  • You sure?

    Doing nothing to protect: states can ban abortion but with Roe v Wade hovering over them, there's not much they can do about people going to other states to get abortions done.Attacking: repealing Roe v Wade, raiding clinics, suing Planned Parenthood et al. into the ground, arresting doctors that perform them and women that have them done.
