    You're assuming that the same norms and requirements that apply to virtually every federal employee and contractor also apply to Musk and the boys and while I obviously do not have direct knowledge on the subject it's perfectly reasonable to infer that they may have well accessed very classified data based on information that's already been made public indicating that they have had access to very sensitive systems in which access is extremely limited and that Trump has endowed them with authority way beyond that of any political appointee or advisor.

    Clinton's extramarital blow job had no effect on my life, and outside of his family, probably no one else's life.

    Putting people in positions of power with insane racists views can affect a lot of people.

    If they were going for intimidation, they failed miserably. I've seen tougher looking dudes in Broadway musicals. Reminds me of "The Pile" in South Park.

    It doesn't seem to matter if they have top secret clearance. They're gaining access to whatever they want to look at.

    https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-trump-doge-intelligence-cia-4a4e99c7925b02e014e6e65d2ef9a055

    Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee are demanding answers after they say President Donald Trump gave billionaire Elon Musk and his staff access to sensitive data and classified secrets as part of their work to overhaul the federal government.

    The lawmakers on Wednesday wrote to Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, and asked what security precautions had been taken to prevent unauthorized leaks of information by staff at the Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE. Trump tapped Musk to run the taskforce, which has quickly gotten to work dismantling whole agencies of the federal government.

    As part of that effort, Musk and his staff have gained access to computer systems that the senators say contain potentially sensitive medical and financial information about millions of Americans as well as federal payroll information, classified documents, information from foreign intelligence partners and the identities of undercover agents and intelligence sources.

    Probably because he is a great software engineer and that's whaw matters most. I think most men probably would prefer their daughter to marry someone of the same race/ethnicity. Most people want children tha5 are genetically similar to themselves

    I disagree with you on that one- my wife and I had to try and explain to our kids why slick willie was allowed to get away with being a philandering husband was, as well as the sitting President lying under oath before a grand jury was okay.

    You made your own choice to do that, no one made you talk your kids. Take responsibility for your own actions.

    Give us a break. No one buys that. trump is a convicted felon to say the least. pretzel logic to justify trump is because maga set their moral compass to him. maga has to go back over 25 years ago for a non sequitur rationale to defend Dear Leader.

    If I really thought Trump was guilty of those Trumped up BS charges it would b e different- it was all about keeping him off the ballot and being able to say he is a convicted felon- as you can tell- all that BS was worthless as Trump is the President

    He’s a convicted felon. As you frequently say “it’s the law”.

    So don’t listen to non Musk Fan-Boys, bring the staffer back. Didn’t he work for Musk? Musk sure isn’t abiding by any norms in wrecking our gov, so not sure who Musk is blaming.

    and for the next 205+ weeks he will still be the President. If iut makes you feel good about yourself that you can call him a convicted felon, have at it. Won't affect a thing!!
