Hey you guys remember right around early 2009 when it was cool to be American again abroad? Yeah we're back to 2004 now.

Being in Kenya in the summer of 2009 was, like...a dream.

I was in Spain that summer right when Michael Jackson died so everyone wanted to know my opinions on our new cool president and the king of pop.

Opsec; now people know just who he is. So there's some additional atfp considerations. Average public probably wasn't aware of his existence to be honest.

I've seen some moderate republicans saying people are overreacting to the football carrier pics by saying Getty has taken pictures of the carrier before getting off of Marine One like it's only fact that there's a picture of him that people are upset about. Never mind the context of said picture.

Rumor floating around that Trump wants to replace Flynn with Petraeus. Is there any way that Davey could come back to Washington? Would a pardon make him eligible for a security clearance again?

Doing so would be hilarious and piss of the FBI. His felony charges were dropped and he got off with a single misdemeanor.

On the other hand, he's not Flynn.

I'm confident the old, white, Breitbart reading men of the FBI will find a way to accept it, somehow.

Petraeus is a step up from Flynn, although who the gently caress knows if he's on the war path like Flynn was after his dismissal.

Isn't the entire system set up by executive order? In which case Trump could just issue him a clearance with an executive order.
